  1. The concept of Neo might be full proof and solid but if its taking attention away from the current versions biggest issues.

     

    Because right now my biggest impression of Neo is its taking attention away from the issues the live game has.

     

    So far im not impressed. Neo better be worth it.

  2. That is very strange. As im on UWQHD with weaker hardware and getting 85-115 (outside world boss and some select areas where it drops to 55ish).

     

    Do you know what your ram timings are?

    Are you on Windows 11 or 10?

    Have you tried different Nvidia drivers?

    Anyway biggest killer i think is shadow quality(4) and 'monster/other effects'(1). I drop these to keep frames smooth in places like CL. The numbered brackets are what I set my sliders to.

     

    For reference my hardware. R5 5600, Ram 3200cas14, RX 6800 uses between 45 - 110watts), Windows 10

  3. @HungibungiCould also add that theres currently an event running on the 5th tab of the dragon express. I just noticed it tonight.

     

    At the bottom is a "3-Enchanted essence bundle" for 50 gold. After a new player clears the daily quest they should have enough gold to purchase 1 3xessence per day per character. These can be used to exchange for essential crafting materials. like Sacred Vials, Pet packs, transformation stones.

    It is still really active. You should be able to see either a #bot-spam or a #class-requests channel where people write in which class they play with (it unlocks channels for that class). I think you need to have at least 1 class role to see the general channels as well, but not 100% sure about that.

    I appreciate the help.


    The "BnS Academy discord" did work fine for me when i first joined it 6 or so years ago. It just randomly disappered from my server list, and everytime i join theres no channel lists or user lists. (Just an empty server). Maybe i was'nt active enough that it shadow banned my account. I've heard of it happening to other people on other discord servers too.  A friend had that same issue with my clans Lost Ark Discord.

    Either way alternatives youtube and Alicekr.

    Want a guide for your class and/or for dungeons? Join the Academy Discord server!

    Everytime since i first joined in 2018 theres no channels at all in this discord server. No members either so i could'nt contact any admins about this issue.

     

    I was originally in the channel but then it disappeared from my account for some reason. I've left it and tried rejoining several times over the years. Anway sucks its still a recommended source of information given my poor experience with it.

    I did see another post just today in the forum where someone said other regions were terminating B&S. 

    I dont follow those regions closely outside some of the full motion video they produced to promote the games release.

     

    Hope those regions closing are able to negotiate account transfers to this server.

  7. If youre having fun and can afford it just spend the money. They still have regions split afterall so if population did drop off i would hope they still have the ability to just combine regions under 1 server rather than close the game.

     

    Anyway I've seen games with far lower populations last for longer. So i dont think this game is anywhere near closing yet.

     

    Immediate change could onnly occur is something new comes along. Lost Ark for example turned BnS into a ghost town for a month but after a while the population increased to a point where i'd say it was higher than pre-lost ark launch.

    Right now i suspect NC's focus is on preparing 'Throne of Oblivion' if that or maybe the new Dragon Nest games takes off BnS will see population drop off. But right now i'd say its not getting focus but not under any threat of closure.

    That might introduce excessively complexity to how it works. Having a server be there just for maint time would be a huge waste of resources as well for little benefit. Every MMO has maint and that is unlikely to change. Even the big name ones like WoW, FF14, which have dozens of servers to play on, bring them ALL down for their weekly maint.

     

    It doesn't matter that patches come out less frequently then weekly for the CLIENT. We don't know how often they update the SERVER, which sometimes has not required a client update but they have mentioned it a few times. They could be installing server side updates every week during maint for all we know.

     

    Warframe never has downtime. They'll push out updates while youre still in mission and keep your progress when that mission finishes. At which point you cant start another mission until you restart/update the game.

     

    I've been wishing Blade and Soul copied whatever Warframe has been doing for the last 10 years.

  9. I've been doing what Kicsiduda suggested for a while now.

    Set AMD chill to 15 fps. Drop all graphics sliders to 1, Alt+enter to a mini window and let it afk. The system is barely sucking more than 50 watts altogether while afk in darkweld.

    This is while im doing other things on my PC, reading, playing other game, watching videos, work etc.

    Also those of us on Solar with battery backup.

  10. Yea PVP scene was great.

    Anyway the main issue all my friends complain about was the server/ping/latency making it unplayable. I think it would've been allot more successful and maintained popularity if the game had a p2p system in dungeons/solo content similar to games like Warframe, pso2 etc.

    P2P probably would've worked on the PVP side too like dragon nest. Providing matchmaking was regional.

    I have used 1 neck for compound on 2 characters, using the other. I asked support to add the bracelet...but they removed my necklace and replaced it with a bracelet. Ending up with no necklace at all 😞

     

    So if you Salvaged the 2nd necklace or put it in compound you are in in trouble...liking this less and less and less. On the point of just giving up on this game.

    Please dont giveup, its not the end of the world. Just 1 necklace.. You should be good for clearing current content with just the skystealer in the meantime.

     

    Anyway i am hoping they atleast put an exchange in one of the shops. Better yet do what they done in previous soulboost and just mail out the item to accounts that have claimed the soulboost.

  12. Chimera lab.. let me guess everyone ignores breaking the tank out of the tube so he dies?


    Had that problem so decided to just to hold off until i find a daily group who appear fairly competent. In saying that it is hard to anticipate what everyone will do. As i havent seen a mainstream guide that offers a consistent way to execute mechanics. So a few failures are expected before people clear it.

     

    Need to communicate with the group on what to do before you start. Also make sure people are able to get into position before starting.

  13. Yesterday after dailies people were asking me to continue on to farm Demonsbane. I would've like to have done that. But if i done that i would've lost my darkweald daily time allocation.
    So my option was either

    *play the game with people.

    or

    *Set my character in a afk zone.

    Due to my ambition of expanding my wardrobe i took darkweald option. I know Darkweald gives great XP but i honestly dont care about that. I care about having a big wardrobe. Anyway thats the point im trying to make.

  14. We should be able to atleast stock up days we dont run the zone. I'd rather leave the game on 6 hours on straight in 1 night a week then 1 hour every night.

    Or let us bank unused time into bonus XP/rewards. Like we can with daily challenge.

     

    The event is draining and i feel like im getting burnt out after only 1 week. I really dont want to miss out on the cosmetics but the risk  is i'll just loose interest in the game itself at this rate.

  15. Sometimes i'll run behind the boss into the lava where he cant tail whip me. I occasionally see people there.

     

    I say sometimes because since his HP increase. I rarely do it these days as i let him whip me so i can grab the ice buff. After i grab a full buff though i'll sit in the lava until he's dead.

     

    I guess a possible solution to afk'ers here is allowing auto combat like we get in primeweld?

    I personally enjoy the manual control of his fight.

  16. Yes please!

     

    My Summoners manual mode can outdps simple mode by about 10%-20%. But that literally hurts my hands despite 7 years of playing that way before simple mode appeared.

     

    Plus i might finally be able to dissect why i cant get any decent dps out of my FM for the last couple of years.
