Game works perfectly for me ever since I had the ISP fix the connectivity problems. They had to replace the deteriorated 50 year old connections at the pole and replace about 100 feet of damaged cable. I had to call several times before they actually sent a technician to test/fix it. Not a single problem since.

This gold reduction is not necessary and extremely ridiculous! It's obvious they are ruining this game on purpose. What's not obvious is why? Isn't the playerbase small enough already? It makes no sense.

I'm sure I am all alone with my philosophy on cheating but I will say it anyway. Cheating by definition is an unfair gain or advantage. I have a hard time understanding how any player finds the same level of personal accomplishment when you have an unfair advantage. It's a hollow victory that means nothing. It's a perfect way of proving you don't have what it takes to make it in the real world. (Except if you are a professional computer game programmer I guess) I also find it childish and self indulgent. They say: Winners never cheat and cheaters never win. Also... So many people complain about their game performance and use it as an excuse to use hacks, etc. My experience playing this game on a daily basis since the 1st day the NA server was made available (and 1 year before that on the Russian server) has been pretty much problem free. I say "pretty much" because I do remember the DC issues in the beginning but that was resolved fairly quickly and hasn't returned. Any other issues where definitely a technical problem on my end and had nothing to do with the server. Personally it seems to me that a lot of people on this forum just love to complain about anything they can think of.

I have been playing this game for years. I have spent hundreds of dollars buying Ncoin. I have ran the dungeons and collected the vast variety of materials. I have upgraded and upgraded and upgraded all my gear. I have patiently reached level HM 20. I have faithfully believed my efforts would be rewarded eventually, I was wrong. In my opinion this game is an endless, pointless way to waste money. My level of disappointment is beyond what words can describe. It's hard for me to accept the fact that I have made a huge mistake investing so much time and effort into something that is so unrewarding. I think the only reason I keep playing is the hope that somehow this game will reward my loyalty. I guess I'm pretty gullible because my HM 20 character gets killed way too easy in PVE and PVP is even easier. The PVP in this game is something I have developed an extreme hatred for. Getting killed by impossibly over powered "players" over and over is the opposite of fun. Now its time for all the forum trolls to attack my statement. Go for it!

How can the server be at fault when I have no problems running this game? No FPS drop, no freezing, no shutter. Runs perfect all the time. I used to have all those problems until I had my connection serviced. Many people on this forum have made a joke out of my solution. All I know is my game runs perfectly now so laugh all you want.

Game runs perfect for me so I think your "poor servers" statement is incorrect.

They why am I having no problems?

I don’t have a problem playing any game. That is my point. If it’s a server problem then how am I able to play problem free?

Of course what you say is true. But let’s zoom out and if you think I’m terms of how old or damaged certain hub components possibly are. (or any part of the vast cable networks in this country for that matter). I think it’s entirely possible that neglect exists. My micro problem could easily be a macro one also. Do I think every household has something nibbling on the wiring? No of course not. Do I think people should insist their cable( or whatever ) provider make sure they have no problems? Yes I do. Do you personally know for sure the condition of all the aging systems across this country? Now it’s you sounding silly. I highly doubt the People at NC soft are as incapable as all the trolls suggest. Anybody that claims that should consider the fact that people exist that have zero problems playing B and S. I’m only throwing a possible piece of the puzzle into maybe figuring it out someday. And for the record it cost nothing.

I posted this reply to a conversation about possible causes to the "unplayable" nature of this game. I am re-posting it here so more people can be aware of this solution that worked so well for me. Original post: Members 63 posts Posted 1 hour ago I don't know about anybody else but when I had "potato" computer I would often experience FPS drops, lag, freezes, disconnects, etc. I assembled a new "gaming" comp with decent (not the best) components witch made a noticeable improvement. I read on a post in this forum that certain things could be problems with the service provider, etc. I looked into it and got the common excuses and automated phone call dead ends. After calling for several weeks I finally got them to come to my house and do some tests. Turns out that when the cable guy went up on the pole he discovered that squirrels had chewed through the insulation on the co-ax cable causing it to have a semi ground fault. In that situation the signal still works but has diminished capacity. They replaced about 200 feet of cable including the drop line that connects between the pole and my house. B and S has run flawlessly ever since. This may have nothing to do with the problems so many people are having but it sure made a huge difference for me. Something worth checking at least. P.S. - One thing I forgot to mention is the problem I was experiencing definitely fluctuated. I'm guessing the fluctuation was caused by exposure to random outside signals, wind causing cable movement, or perhaps even the fact that squirrel spit is conductive. I don't know for sure. I do know that in my case where I live (Los Angeles) they installed the original co-ax cable well over 60 years ago. I'm sure anywhere with 60 year old cable could suffer from many similar kinds of damage caused by a variety of reasons. Like I said before, it's something worth checking at least.

I care.

I think the drop rate for a lot of things is way too low for almost every dungeon in this game. Why do they need to be so stingy with their virtual products?

TOI is is now completely ridiculous. The Assassin I fought remained invisible 95% of the time. What happened to the theme of improving one's fighting skills? The only thing I learned is to win you must cheat.

Can somebody tell me what the Red Dragon Crux is used for? (It is acquired by salvaging a level 10 accessory).

I think this is an obvious set up. So glad I stopped trusting NCSoft a long time ago. Stopped giving them money a long time ago also.
