Because of the lack of player base the Money(Swipes) that NCWest was used to is gone. So they have no incentive to improve the game play. All game changes are made to target whales, you too can become a whale if your willing to spend thousands of dollars, to get them spend additional money on the game. Here are the facts. There is no hope that NCWest will improve game play for non-whales. So, don't spend money on a dead game, just have fun if you can. U4E never will happen- cost factor. All changes, removing gold, will never return to original game play. All changes are made to funnel you to NCoins. Server lag will never improve, just get worst. Player base will get smaller. Sending any ideals to NCWest on game improve is a waste of time. They are NOT going to spend any money on this game. And finally this game is dead, sad to say. It will limp along, but will never be the game we once played. Greed has killed this game. So sad.

When BnS came to NA there were 8 Servers, now NA has one. Because of the lack of players and having two servers I agree with the previous post, merging of NA-UA will happen. Plus cost savings of two servers. NCWest is trying to suck out as much money they can before the cost of maintaining the servers cost more then NCWest is making. We know U4E will never happen-not cost effective. We have seen changes to the game benefit whales, not the average player, however if the whales stop spending real money-> server shutdown?

When the content creators are leaving BnS that says a lot, their reasons seem to parallel what most of us feel about what happen to this game. NCWEST is behind the reason for me leaving, all paths lead to "swipe". Their efforts to impact the game "swipe to progress" has been effective, no longer can a play grind to progress their character. So, if you like the current NCWEST version of the game I can only say, you are fueling the greed of NCWEST and it will only get worst. Don't.

Yes, it is a CPU bound game. You could being running a 2080super and the game still suck. Unreal engine 4 should solve this CPU bound issue, but NCWEST will NEVER invest the capital in this game to improve it. Server lag is a NCWEST direct issue. When NA went from 8 server to ONE, NCWEST went to the cheapest solution; the server in someone's basement. To the point, NCWEST can't even fill one server. To bad I really liked this game, but I refuse to spend one dollar on this game and to the people who ruined this game I'm done, seeya.

NCWEST has decided that it is now a swipe to progress game. If you are willing to spend real money, and I mean alot of money, you can progress. If not, you will be stuck at a level and that's the realization of this game. No begging or what ever will change NCWEST mind. I personally will not give NCWEST ONE DOLLAR. I just want to finish the story, but NCWEST is dragging it out as long as possible. So, I will come back once the story continues.

Like most of you I loved this game and when it came to NA I was so happy, but that's the past and here we are. Let's list we're are current game stands. 1. One NA server down from 8 and can't even fill one server. I lay this on NA producer. 2. Server ping is bad. BnS must be running on the cheap's hardware they could find. 3. No more mechanics, if you can't one shot it, we don't want you in our party. 4. Paywall(PayToProgress) starts at 1600ap if you want to progress your character, be ready to swipe. This is their business model, "Pay to Progress". I'm waiting for my Premium to expire then delete the game. It's sad to witness the death of a game that I loved to play, but we gamer's have no control over the mishandling of NCWest.

I think everyone has a point with the current conditions. Here is mine. Anyway, lets look at this current conditions game from a business view. Free to play is great with this game, however the producer is not making any money unless the f2p player "swipes". The premium player $14.00 a month may not be enough profit for the producer. I don't know what the red ink is on this game, but to generate revenue it must come from "swipe". So, I believe a new business plan target was implemented ("swipe"), all activity must lead to "swipe". This is nothing new, however it is with BnS in NA. So, I believe ever update my have a change that moves the player to the targeted business plan("swipe"). The player who doesn't "swipe" will reach a level of game play and stall, but doesn't restrict their current game involvement. It makes me wonder if BnS(NA) will be listed on "death of a game" site one day. Well that's all see ya in you favorite game and remember it's only a game.
