Because they want you to buy the pet gem boxes. honestly, anything above a square / penta pet gem is mostly conveniance and nicie to have and not needed at all to go higher unless you have money to blow.

Not sure what the issue is...I mean With event outfits its the same in any other game aswel. You get them if you participate in the event. If you miss out, then tough luck you will have to wait for the event to happen again.
All outfits, with exception of a few can be emailed across characters by using 6 outfit stamps which are cheap, plus you get 20 free each month if you are premium member. (Some are female/male specific so those depend on gender in addition).
Weapon skins would only be transferrable through support.
Any other outfits, you are dependant on the store rotation / rng/ trove, similar as in other games. While it might not be ideal or lackluster, it is what it is, it was something complained about since launch, and has not changed, so i doubt it will.

oh balony...I loved my archer when the class came out, but after nerfs, class was too hard to play..and you don't enjoy playing a class that doesn't do similar damage as other classes -- you get ragged on for why you are so lame, not pulling your weight, not knowing your class, etc... enjoying playing is about being able to run w/groups and contribute -- if you can't contribute similar DPS as others in the group -- your equipment and level don't matter, you will find poeple don't want to run with you -- and that's no fun.
So you can't separate DPS you do in battle from how fun it is to play your class. Ultimately, they are very interrelated. Loved the archer class and the bows, but couldn't begin to get the DPS out of the class that I needed. So I switch to a less fun, more boring weapon, more mechanical class that isn't as fun. But at least I get invited/allowed in groups and don't get ragged on so often.
Thats more of a community being toxic problem rather than a class problem or even have anything to do with enjoying playing a class.
But, yeah that is the reality sadly.
Thats why 45 patch was the best, because there was no showing down of legendary / mythical gear down your throat, weapons, p2w systems. unity, portraits etc and other garbage that just artificially boosts stats.
The game was far more balanced then and much easier to balance without 300+ different scaling effects to work around.,

New laws? Where? that cover all online materials everywhere? In the US pre-labeling on a game like 'Mature' or 'Mature 17+', have covered risque content in games. Especially, since with this game, you need to sign-up and login. Will they next be censoring all outfits like is done in China? The outfits the reason many flocked to this game -- to censor pics (and outfits?) seems like shooting one's self in the foot.
A games rating is one thing, but different countries can have different laws regulating game content (perfect example for it is for example Call of Duty in germany).
Censoring in games is always bound by laws / legal technicalities where the devs / publisher has literally no say in it, it either censor or close up shop and leave.
While I can understand people being upset over it (I have a custom drawn F2 in game that I had comissioned and made by an artist) if they are option to remove this, its 100% likely due to legal pressure from somewhere. and no player outrage will change that if that is the case. Especially since in addition to EU + NA laws, they have to adhere to individual laws in each country the game is published, so it is easier to lump everyone into one cart and make it general rather than for specific regions / countries.
(Personally I dont really care if something is censored or not since it does not affect how I play a game).

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.
Generally BnS works the same way if it is a client update. They can push out an update to the client while you are still playing and it will update next time you restart it. We had updates pushed like this in the past.
This does not include the need to bring servers down for whatever reasons.
6 hours ago, Nicolee said:What time in SK was the old maint time? How did it become inconvenient for the devs?
For my own systems, they do backups automatically by a maintenance script run on a scheduler. Don't the devs in SK have such things? Such tech is at least 40 years old. How much human intervention does it take to do automated backups?
FWIW, a 50+ year old system (developed 1970 to early 1980s) that needs to be brought down for weekly backups (plato/(cyber1.org) -- still Free to play for ancient games with ancient graphics) does it via scripting that only takes about 10-20 minutes (no updates, FWIW). It only has to be brought down because
it still uses a mainframe OS+disk subsystem that was developed back in the 70's and predates logging file systems found on more modern systems (the main frame + disk subsystem is run in an emulation that runs on a PC-desktop (that is faster than the original CDC+Cray mainframes it ran on).
What OS underlies BnS? If the support costs of BnS could be lowered by using modern SW and SW techniques, it might last longer...? If BnS is only 7-8 years
old, its underlying OS can't be THAT old...can it?
If the server is still in the US, they must be doing it remotely. Wouldn't that also imply it could be scriptable?
*curious*
You need to keep in mind the devs might also have other games they support maintenance for, in which case it is far more conveniant to have them all around the same time rather than spread out. This has nothing to do with a backup being scriptable or not.
Having maintenances be more bundled frees up their time to get any potential fixes or issues resolved faster rather than puishing them out because of another maintenance window they need to support. You are focusing too much on the "backup and restart" part. While this change is mostly due to future patches with content for the game.
Old maintenance window was give or take like 13ish hours later than the new time which would have made it I think around 8:00 PM Korean time or so (to lazy to 100% double check)

So now they do maint at 9am vs. before at 7pm? Is 9am better for software engineers? I don't think so -- or do they only work 9-5 in Korea?
Besides, noon in EU is at 7pm in S.K. Since they are different servers, doing them concurrently shouldn't be a problem.
Current new maintenance time is 7:00AM South Korean Time. The change was purely done based on whats more conveniant and efficient for the devs. It is completely irrelevant whether its a EU or NA server.
Maintenances are always done based on devs, they rarely if not ever take into account player login/play times.
You might be unhappy about it but it will not change.

Not really as far as I know. Its only regarding the orb in Heavens Mandate and in Cold Storage (if you decide to do the 2nd boss) since they both need an orb to begin the fight.
It's not really that there is a "rule" its more or less the polite thing to do (its a player made-up thing) if someone offers up their orb. The loot isnt all that great.

You are wrong.Eu had this same exact problem, now it switched. Eu has maint while we are asleep and NA has it mid-day. Since EU has way more players, I think it is fair; should have been done years ago…
Honestly this has very little to do with where are more players. Pretty sure it has to do with their team doing maintenance and they are trying to allign things on their end. (They ultimately never cared about players anyway xD)

This change is completely unacceptable. Why should our features be different from KR? They can have custom stuff.
It has very likely to do with certain laws that went into effect, at least in EU, NA might just have been pulled on the same wagon with it.
Though, considering how abused certain profile images were...I am not really surprised.

I get what you mean, but you should direct it to the gaming comission of belgium and not NC. Because NC are bound by Belgium laws. They cannot do anything about it.

Hi all,
Where are the mystical key's that we are supposed to get from daily loghin reward ??
what mystical key? Don't see anything like that anywhere in the patch notes so my guess is we arent having it.

Hi there,
as this game has no classic tank or healer definition, one would expect every class to be equal doing damage. However, I found old posts stating that e.g. a KungFuMaster is always the tank and a summoner is more of a healer than a DamageDealer.
As said, these were old posts from 2017. How is the situation now?
Is the gunner shooting antibiotics as a healer in endgame?
The bard playing death metal on the harp and generating lots of aggro in endgame?
I'm especially interested in playing a heal-like class.
Thanks for answering ~
Generally....all classes can be tanks, you just slap some HM points into aggro and yolo. However....there are classes which are not persay dedicated tanks, but are classes best suited for tanking such as KFM, Blade Master for example. They have aggro skills, block / parries and dodges.
Its the opposite for healing, while there are classes that have a skill that CAN heal party members, everyone heals themselves through life drain. So there is definetely no heal-like class or dedicated healer class. There are however "support" classes, that give the party buffs. Bard especially has a spec dedicated to support.

49 500 NC for a costume + weapon skin on a battle pass with essentially rewards that arent even worth 10$?
Someone drunk made that or what?

But...why it wasn't reported in the maintenance I didn't even see it, I didn't even notice, when I opened a ticket they said anything would be announced on the forum
How do you not notice the giant yellow starlike icon next to your character? .-.

Think I did read like only still-obtainable outfits did get a new render on UE4 and old ones still exist lowpoly because people paid for these items so they can't be deleted. [which would translate to: not a bug]
Technically all of them are still obtainable in game so i doubt that would be the reason. Though textures did change for some outfits. In the example Shock Jock used to be more a shiny leather pants texture, but in UE4 it got changed to a regular material type texture.
So dont think its a mistake or bug but rather intentional.

They did not mention anything about the Soul Boost so. lets accept the altar tasks as broken until proven otherwise xD

WHEEENNNNN?????? Is it so hard to do? Can you activate this until the end of the year?? How much time we have to wait??
as far as I am aware they already added the 7 day premium to the accounts from last event. (you will only get 7 days, regardless how many of those tokens you have)

Someone said that they mentioned it coming out in April during the RU stream, could be the same for us.
I wouldnt expect it, since shop is under full control of the publisher, and since RU and NA have seperate publishers, them having it does not mean anything or even remotely hints we might get it to.
-
Might be worth noting:
If soulboost continues and Altar of Infinite is rotated into the Heroic dungeons, it might break the tasks to clear stages 1-5. Might be wise to do those before the update.

Pretty much what the title says. KR has it permanently in their store and it would be a huge help to those wanting to try out new classes. I currently have the nccoin to buy the voucher, but having to wait months for possible new specs to come out to *maybe* see it is too long. I know they only really care about money coming in, but why not add something that could get them a hella lot of revenue?
Because its not only about revenue. Pretty sure the class change voucher is used as a profit leveler from time to time to ensure they do not make less than expected.

yeah, another 14days do hurt. esp. on again such short notice. ppl who farmed rankings will probably again be screwed. and those who take their effort to sabotage rankings will utilize the time and infest ranking with even more ridiculous 60vouchers. and you heard me right another 14 days. jan patch that should happen in feb due to "bimonthly" was skipped again in feb due to ... yeah, if only somebody knew. so now [today] would be final arrival of stuff from january which was postponed due to bimonthly and we should get feb patch including archer etc. but in old NC fashion it again got delayed by another 14 days.
I mean, patches can be delayed for many reasons, and them trying to make it easier on them is not really something to complain about. Ultimately companies will also look into ways to make it easier for them and save money, time and resources, they are a business afterall.
The game stopped having original new content ages ago everything you get now is just rehashed monsters and mechanics. Generally, while BnS does have its appeal, its typically a game you only play patch to patch and thats it unless you really have nothing else to play or do and you cna no-life 300 dungeon runs in a day.

but halting localizations while having the audacity to announce they would be added after the initial patch is already delayed alot of times just sounds lazy. Then again the remainder will be fine with english only. One only can wonder if we will get new story in korean again.
If they do not have an employee that can translate it to that language, they will not do it, plain and simple. Be happy they only decided to delay the patch till 22nd, and not more until they complete all localizations, because they could do that too.
Pretty sure they lost the employees that were doing french translations and have currently no other option.
1 hour ago, Saito Sacchi said:By all means "14 days" more days do hurt.
How does it hurt exactly? Those that always come back for a new patch will still come back, those that feel burnt out can take a break, the delay literally hurts nothing.
As for tools, its very possible they did not get proper updated tools for the updated game version, since support would need to get them from the devs and that does not always happen in time.
Bottom line is, no point crying about 14 days, unless you really no life the game 24/7 and have nothing else to do with your time.

Maybe they checked properly till what login mark people claimed said items and only sent those. Like for example: if the kleys were at the 30min and 2h mark, people who only claimed up to 30min for 7 days would only get 7 keys.
They shouldn't compensate for something you didn't claim. I dont remember how many keys were in the login rewards anymore.
