  1. I think that the whole thing they've written in that "Our Philosophy" paragraph was merely a dream. I think it's not completely fair to blame NCSoft for trying to make a profit with their product.

    What we get is the result of the plague called "free 2 play". The market is pushing game publishers to go f2p because of the strong competition. If they won't go f2p they simple won't get enough players unless it's really popular brand. But even if they go f2p they still need to make enough money to pay the costs and make the profit. Because that's why they released the game in the first place.

    But the cosmetics only won't motivate ppl to spend as much money as items that will actually push you through game progress or give you some kind of advantage. So you have to make a choice: 
    You can cut the costs of development and/or costs of running resulting in trash game. Or you can sell the "p2w" items to make more money.


    Actually I think there are much bigger problems than P2W items.
    1) The players can't trust what NCWest say about game changes.
     - They've said that we would be able to exchange the white orbs, hm/cs resets and demon spirit stones for their new counterparts when they were going to remove them. Many players lost a lot of those because they've trusted what they said. The compensation for that mistake was a mockery because it was nowhere near the value of what ppl lost.
     - They've promise that they would make sure to give players more than enough time in advance if they were going to remove badge exchane (see the quote below). Yet they only announced it in patch notes right before the patch. I don't mind the removal of exchange itself just the fact that they haven't let players know in time.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to give a quick update regarding a question that was asked a lot: "how long will we be able to exchange our badges/accessories". I got the confirmation that there's no time limit for now. The NPC present at Mushin Tower enabling you to switch your Mystic/Soul Badges will remain there indefinitely, no time limit as well regarding accessories meaning that you do not have to rush to Stage 10 Legendary / Awakened before the update hits. We will make sure to give players more than enough time in advance if we were to change the above.

    If you have any more question regarding Mystic/Soul Badges or Accessories specialisation change don't hesitate to ask in this thread. Thanks!

     

    2) They treat some bugs as "working as intended".
    For example the new AP achievement for hard mode DST, BC, WC dungs. The previous HM achievements counted runs retroactively and even this one counted the DST runs retroactively. Only BC/WC counter was bugged. Yet they annoucned that the achievement was not supposed to be retroactive.

  2. I don't think it's a stupid thing.

    The limit allowed to give more vials to players who can't complete event on that many alts while not giving too many vials to those who can do event on 11 chars.
    On the other side the players who can do event on 11 chars will get the worthy rewards because thay can get pet packs with the rest of coins.

    As I said I  the guy who keeps his event token up to the last day of the event and then use them all at once but now I can't do that and I have not collected anything for these past two weeks and now I'm left with additional tokems

    But you can only blame yourself for that. The limits were described in the article that announced event and i think they've mentioned them in the update preview stream. It is also visible when you open the event currency exchange tab in dragon express. It's not that the limits were somehow hidden to make everyone waste their event currency.

  4. I don't understand why anyone sees the limit as problem.

     

    With 11 chars you can farm 3344 outlaw coins if you run everything that gives them.

     

    During event itself and the redeeming period (4+4 weeks) the limits allow you to get:

    40 sacred vials = 2200 outlaw coins

    80 pet packs = 2000 outlaw coins

    Yes, you can't use all the coins to get sacred vials but you can still spend them effectively by getting the pet packs with the rest of coins.

  5. Tab will allow you to use bullet storm but only if two conditions are met:

    1) you have 5 explosive rounds ready (using tab will automaticaly give you 5 of them, using reload during tombstone will also give you 5 of them and later you will be able to choose tombstone spec that automatically gives 5 rounds with last hit of bulletstorm)

    2) the target has debuff from crossfire (skill on 4)

    Skystone is good in PvP to buy you some time. Its usage in PvE is situational and you won't be using it that often. You definitively don't want to use it to do dmg. You shouldn't use it at all during leveling cause mobs will reset when you get on it.

     

     

  6. @DittzeWL The solar energy is not the only source of obsidians.
    Transcendence Engine can be exchanged for pentagonal obsidian. It can drop in Naryu Sanctum.

    Awakened Transcendence Engine can be exchanged for hexagonal obsidian. I'm not sure if this drops in Irontech Forge, Ebondrake Lair or both of them.

    Imperial Mark can be exchange for heptagonal obsidian. It can drop in Ransacked Treasury.

    60 tokens from circle of sundering can be exchange for heptagonal obsidian.

    Demon Fang can be exchanged for octagonal obsidian. It can drop in Dreamsong Theater.

     

    Also in next update the exchange for solar energy is going to be changed. We will get a pentagonal obsidian for 10 solar energy instead of square one.

    will you also be able to get obsidian and garnet from these boxes?
    At least the garnet would be nice as it is a pain in the ass to do koldrak with 200+++ms and 6-10 fps while doing every other raid with 80-100ms and 40-60fps :/

    No. Obsidian/garnets will be in their own box that will be obtainable through RNG boxes. But they said the drop rates for obsidians/garnets should be increased. Also we will be able to get pentagonal obsidian for 10 solar energy instead of square one.

    Why don't you try watching some of the good gunner streams, instead of rendering a verdict on the class based on your own inadequate abilities playing the class? This is also known as " learning the game" 

    I would gladly watch some. Can you send me a link to some stream of gunner who is in top 50 in 1v1 rating in EU? Oh wait... there was no gunner in top 50 for last 3 seasons.

    awakened blazing beam never existed.

    It did exist. At some point FM had awakened dragonchar or awakened blazing beam based on what skill they've speced. But most FM's changed spec to dragonchar when they had WL in group so awakened blazing beam was removed pretty soon.

    shouldn't be worried on this as channel seems to be automatically added when certain threshold is reached.  The concern is of course people wanting to be "taxied" to certain channel. This is what apparently causing the overcrowding.

    That's not a problem. There are two limits for number of ppl in channel. When the soft limit is reached, the new incoming people are sent to other channel and you can't change into the channel by yourself. But the party members are still allowed to join party leader's channel (that's what "taxi" uses). When hard limit is reached noone can join the channel so even taxi won't work anymore.

    What can you pay for aside from outfits that you can't get by normal means that gives you a advantage over someone else?

    I don't want to spoil it for you but I will....Nothing.

    That's not true. For example unity stones give significant stats boost but the only source of legendary skill stones (from sparkling ore box) was the trove. Also while you can get legendary radiance stones by combining superior and heroic stones, the amount of them you could get by this point as F2P player at this point is limited (because daily limit for CS/HM).

    At this point as F2P player you simply cannot reach as high set bonus from unity stones as someone who got them from trove even if you played nonstop since awakening patch.

    I know, but they did not show that on stream, they only had all boxes related to accessories, hence why i asked and this is what was replied:

    So right now i assume weapon cores are still the same drop as normally unless they can confirm otherwise. I dont really trust the patch notes they release as those are at most 50% correct / complete

    Well, it's said that the weapon cores will also be in these new chests in the latest patch notes. I guess communication works well in NC...

    So far, we're only seeing accessories being selectable so we'll inquire about adding weapon cores for the future.

    But this article https://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/news/legends-reborn-item-and-systems-preview/ mentions the weapon cores too.

    What is the best way to spend the new points on a character skill upgrade?

    1. Go to f12 and do a parse on general moyung.

    2. Check dps meter to see what skills do most damage.

    3. Put points to these skills.

    (optional: you might want to switch some points to awakened version of the skills when you have SB in your group).

    Hi,

    How do i get training/skill points? Some posts from 2016 state that you get 1 point per level after level 17. I'm level 37 however i do not have any skill points to invest in skills.
    Someone in game informed me that i need to complete achievements to get them. However that is only 9 points which seem really low and has items that i have not heard of in game yet.

    Any help on this would be great.

    The skill system has been changed since then. 

    Currently you are only allowed to choose your specialization when you are leveling your character.
    Somewhere around level 55 you will get the purple quest called "Legacy of the Hongmoon Clan". Completing this quest will unlock the talents for you. In talents section you can choose 5 talents (1 out of 3 talents for each row) that can change your skills.

    Completing lvl 60 achievement gives you 5 skill points, completing other skill achievements will give you 1 or 2 skill points. You can get 15 skill points in total. But these skill points are different from the skill points you've mentioned. These skill points are only used to boost damage of certain skills.
