Thanks for the honest answer.

You just mentioned it, hello? This sounds like infinite gains to me, so pay attention on your replies before actually typing them because you afraid someone trying to show a second opinion, no need to be in defensive mode and try to change subject. I didn't really "blabbled" about whales having lots of gold from hunters refuge, I'm stating a fact everyone knows, it was a poorly designed event that broke even more the economy (Reason why F9 never worked ever again, and reason why they trying to nerf gold rewards, they know but can't admit it) It felt like an official "exploit" because only a few players was able to make 100k gold a day, by "legal" ways, but just because it was legal it doesn't mean it was ever fair to the community. After that point the community went more downhill, and a lot of players quit, cancelled their subscriptions, and guess what? No one could do anything about it. I don't blame whales for being whales, or that they dominated the HH event, but considering whales got a LOT of gold in their hands, they don't even need to "whale" anymore, this was a true loss to the company income. I mentioned the publicity behind it because, you liking or not it's there. Reddit is on fire with BnS posts. But I never mentioned it is the correct way to do it, it is wrong, and a desperate tactic that many use. There is a considerate amount of players that returned and will quit once again? Probably, but a good portion will stay, otherwise why they would even bother to spend 3 days in front of a stupid NPC? Or farming Arena? The ones who grabbed the costumes they wanted already quit, and we still have over 21 channels in bamboo, the rest will mostly stay bcs maybe they got stuck in progression and didn't wanted to farm so much, not feeling "rewarded" in any way. Again, this is wrong, not saying things should be that way, but those are the current facts, punch your players too much, and they will quit, seeking for a "refresh". "Fairness" as a lot of people likes to mention here, is not as easy to measure. The community is not happy with the current state of the game, it took one small bug to see what happened. They believe they are being rewarded by many years of being neglected. I only pray that the outcome of this really resolves into the devs doing their best to equalize all the sides so everyone can come to an agreement. Being positive is that hard?

Means you don't know how management works. The whole profit is tied mostly over a single item, Pet Pods. If they do a small code change so pet pods can't be tradable, you already stop the so mentioned "infinite gains over time". Second, they can lock down the tiger and fish pets ID out of the transmutable list, so they can't be used to make newer pet pods. Or even disable the pet transmutation for now till they change the code. And the main factor here, not a single gold was "generated" in this issue, meaning only player gold was swinging around. The gold ppl got came from other players that already had their stash of gold saved (even more from hunter refuge whales that saved 100k+ gold with little effort) Meaning no one has unlimited gold so far, Ppl that moved so much gold mostly bcs they saving pet pods in their inventories to sell later on when the prices goes up, but what happens when you lock pet pods out of trade? You kill the big exploiters. Easy fix, minimum impact in the long run. Positive side, the game got relevant once again, like how celebrities loves scandals to show on media. There are indeed more new players and a good amount of returning players to compensate the "few" that decided to quit, so the overall picture is not as bad as people likes to yell around. It's like dealing with a bunch of "Karens" (no offence), that are overreacting. But also a lot of "incels" (no offence(2)) saying that they want to see the world burn and trying to throw an "anarchy" as a way of punishing the system, because of previous mistakes by devs. Resume, both are wrong. Everyone should be more mindful, and hold their personal opinions instead of trying to force the game to burn. The developers are the ones that will dictate what will happen, based on their analysis (since they are the ones with the real numbers, instead of everyone trying to speculate things like "YOU GUYS ARE LOSING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS" or so. Believe they are not. But they WILL if the game dies bcs they can't handle this in the end. Thanks for the attention.

So, if someone goes and buy on F5 100 saberfang or rosethorns for 10g ea, and dismantle them to get all the outfits, and eventually pets, or even buy the box pets for 10g ea, they are only adapting? Please... Everyone selling Soulstones, buying any item related to the issue or cheap pet pods F5 or not, are getting unfair advantage, everyone knows what is going on, you can see that the forum thread that first "announced" the bug have over 10k views. I didn't even knew we had this many players. And players openly sharing the information on faction chats, general chats and bns communities. No one is innocent no matter your "approach" in this matter. Ever heard of the phrase "There's no such thing as little sin" ? Soulstones definitely would never reach 7g ea, Pet Pods definitely would not be as cheap as 70g in the current days, nor regular pets 10g. Can you understand the current situation? Everyone trying to find an excuse to be innocent, when they indirectly benefiting from it. I SAW MANY, many of those "Exploiters should be perma ban! disgusting!" saying "Well, I guess I will need to sell my soulstones now, farm arena, buy cheap pet pods on market" . YOU KNOW WHO IS BUYING YOUR HARDWORK AND HONEST SOULSTONES? The ppl refining the pets, that came from the exploit, DUH! I am selling soulstones myself, I would be stupid if not doing so, what can i say? We are all in the same hole. If you trace every single player, you will find out no one is truly innocent, unless they never actually logged in to begin with, or they are really being "Monks" and meditating while taking no action, just watching everyone running here and there, avoiding even playing the game since it's 'broken" so better keep distance to not accidentally touch anything that can be considered wrong and contaminate your account. The gears are spinning, and they will only stop when NCsoft says so. So let's believe that they come with some really creative idea to fix this, in a way that everyone can go back to their regular daily farm.

Idk what's wrong with this game community. One week after update everyone heavily complaining the new system is trash, the game is garbage, everyone will rage quit, no one cares anymore, and that the devs takes away their gold, and deliver bad events that gives nothing, or barely gives anything, or only benefits whales as always; Next week a small and dumb bug is exposed (instead of being patched) and suddenly those same people floods the main page complaining they got way too much and NOW THEIR PERFECT GAME IS RUINED. It's a bit ironic. sorry. Ya'll should just chill and wait for the day the devs will actually come with something up, and try to give a solution ( Or not? It's their game, their rules ). Yelling at each other will do nothing, nor make the devs work any faster. Everyone should actually stop flooding the support and let them use their team to focus on a way to eventually equalize the damage caused, instead of going on a blind which hunt because you believe in A and other believe in B. The focus should be on "fixing the hole" not trying to blow more air inside the balloon believing it will do anything. If they are unable to give a fast fix, let them be (They will have to compensate for the issue eventually, one way or another, or like the previous times we had situations where people have an advantage over others, or whatever, end up doing nothing about it and everyone will forget about it and game will continue to run the same way ). Everyone already knows their limitations because of the previous events with the Korean team and changes on management, It feels like no one here actually plays this game at all or reads the news. Shaming the devs, keeping the drama or throwing a tantrum everywhere WILL NOT HELP. Wait for an official answer, they didn't did it yet because THEY CAN'T, no matter the reason, not because they don't care. They only follow orders. Try to be at least POSITIVE, we are at 2020, social distancing and all, and the iRL world is already ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ up. Many companies are working slower or being limited because of that. Stop taking a god dam online game so serious, like your life depends on it, or you losing real money on stock market or the money in your bank is being taken away or the food is getting more expensive, you get the idea. My honest opinion, if you not enjoying the game or can't stand the fact that 90% of the game population is abusing an exploit, please consider giving a break from it. Not because A or B are wrong, but if you join a group where the majority is showing an opinion you don't like, it's easier to just get away from that group and seek one you feel comfortable with. This is how the world works. And I need to also be more realistic than honest, they will not ban the entire server to fix the problem, they will come up with something else that will actually be effective and not kill the game. You need to think on the consequences, you can't just "kill" someone because they did something wrong, there are better solutions if you smart enough. Take BDO example, where instead of banning everyone, they gave people a negative income number, and we are talking about a brand new game that don't need to care that much because their community is big and fresh, they could had banned everyone, but no :) PS: My suggestion: Turn all current Pet Pods/packs untradable and locked to the character ( Or make them expire ), then give every single player a maxed pet and talisman (That can't be sealed), and allow everyone to salvage their old pet and talisman to retrieve back the raw materials besides pet packs. Next update that gives new talisman and pet tiers will take a newer pet pod to upgrade, that ppl will need to farm from zero. Definitely not the best idea, and yes, there are a lot of flaws, But at least this will block the worst scenario where people are saving stacks of pet pods to cash in later when they come up in price, ruining the game economy on the long term, and by giving everyone max pet and soul, no one will have an unfair advantage anymore, everyone will be even with their "Defensive accs" that, might bring some balance to 6v6 till new tiers are released and the whales will eventually pass everyone once again. You can criticize all you want, and even add or work better this idea. The community should work together, not go the other way around. Thanks for the attention.

I think that's intended btw, you are floating in the air, not walking.

If this COULD fix F9, would be great, but.. one can dream, the current economy is way past a simple fix. I miss buying the market stuff with all the HMCOINS. Just my personal thought.

Warsong wasn't the stronger/BiS option either for ice btw. The new badge outclassed it.

Ppl go learn that pvp is not a pve dummy parse. You should watch the OLD bns tournaments, where strategy and intense wombo combos made it fun. if you play gunner for the fact you wanna full burst someone as soon as you hook on their face and throw that 1 CC, stop playing the class. I'm sure the summoner slowly poked you to death, and kite you the whole day.

The training dummy thing is totally necessary. If you need to parse on a low gear character you can go Moyun parse, or any 1b boss honestly will do. Or just do a 5min parse and stop. No one ever required full dummy parses unless it's for mains with good gear. If you can't parse on dummy, you are not supposed to or your alt is too under gear for it. Or if someone asking you for a "FULL dummy parse" only, well you already know the reason.

OR you can just put free octas on your alts. Why even bother dumping 8 penta dyads gems just to do weeklys?

There's complaints about enrage timers, but anyone ever stopped a min to think that they didn't nerfed the rewards from those old raids yet? You want easy to do raids? They will give you that alongside with reward nerfs that will make it pointless to run, like what happened with old MSP till they actually revamped it making it harder but also bringing the decent rewards back. I did a few PUG VTs the last 2 weeks, and my goodness, literally no one but 3-4 ppl actually doing the dps their gear was supposed to. And also the 40min of time wasted bcs ppl can't learn how to stun HQ properly. Those things should push players to improve, like a meta. They already giving everyone free gear and decent options to work around, so it's not like anyone is having their progression "locked" by not being able to do those old raids. You even get raid currency weekly to get high end SS. You can literally go PVE patch on weapon and upgrade till a decent level. PUG raids was and still are "clunky" not because it's hard, trust me, it's the players trolling.

Can't agree more. Ppl got used to 1 shot everyone (reason the whole pvp community is toxic and mad about) there's no real skill besides how fast you can "swipe". So now ppl can actually things like combos, strategy and teamwork. It's a new era. And ofc they can't just release everything in one go, so the very next patchs will make even more sense. Everything before IA was still based on old model, and after we go past that point the pieces will come together way better, but it's already better than before for sure.

You can literally farm the old fused soul badges and buy with Martial Tokens on dragon express, and it's not even a crazy amount, only 20. The new badges are the new content you need to play the game to achieve, wanting a "free" new end game gear is kinda, saying to everyone that farmed TOI and Trial Arena they wasted their time. I don't know what's the big deal on this, we can already swap the wingrise and paragon to the exhilaration and that's perfect the way it is, we can even swap back if we regret it. Btw, even exhilaration being BiS, the old ones are still decent for 3rd spec till you finish farming TOI.

Tested several times, and checked with a few friends that the "auto casting volt salvo" on Zap and Lightning Palm are not working with the talent "Power Play". With some tests, the only thing we could find out is that it seems to work with players that have below 130ms. Everyone over 150ms are not having volt salvo auto cast at all. Please check this. Can provide screenshots and other tests if needed.

You must be blind or really dind't got the general idea. Or just playing dumb on purpose. No one ever said UE4 will make game less grindy or change how the game works on paper. That's not the main issue of the game. This is a MMO, it's meant to be grindy. Otherwise you will play will you reach 60 and never login back. If you expect a pvp game with "balance" there's things called LoL, DOTA, Overwatch, CS, Fortinite, and so on. If you want a MMO where grinding don't matter, then that's truly not a MMO, sorry. Company will make game free, and put the p2w content to profit, or will charge you 100$ to buy the game and charge you again for expansions. UE4 will fix what was the initial issue, the lag and the poor optimization since this game runs over UE3 and DX9, which are not supported anymore at some extent because newer engines and graphical technologies got released. I don't mind farming a hundred dungeons, if my experience while doing it is smooth. If I can run the game on Max graphics, AA, full resolution and at 100fps, I will enjoy every second of it, because this game was made to be beautiful, to please the eyes. Sadly, with 5 fps while on low settings, I can't enjoy any of it. And I'm sure 99% of the players think the same. Specially those who already quit out of frustration. Saying the game is boring because you need to farm everyday, is just a matter of how the devs will introduce content. But Putting more content won't matter if you can't even play or enjoy it. But,,,, of course, if we have a bigger community like some years ago, finding a raid group, a dedicated party and more reliable players will smoothen the whole gameplay on that matter as well, instead of having to fail and stress myself because everyone lags and nothing works. Gameplay implies you playing the game and being able to do so.

Funny enough, this is not op class nerf, but actually a "punishment" or something like that. Second, they never nerfed 3rd spec BM. Not even on KR. And Archer dind't got any nerf either, the opposite is actually happening, as they are releasing new re-balancing patches to buff the other classes and bring them up to be on pair with the new ones. Your point makes zero sense. Besides the point that there's no "new rotation". I'm using the exact same rotation. Please use your brain before posting. Thanks.

Considering UE4 will fix the gameplay, there's nothing to fear. Review bombimb on Tera was bcs game performance was and tbh, still trash. Poor optimization ruins any game.

So after this week patch I was wondering why my archer RMB was feeling so slow compared to before patch. The 3 hit combo from all 3 darts variants connects really fast, but after that, when it goes back to the first one, it takes a really weird delay once it's cast again. And I heard that Dart got a nerf and now it have a 1 second or so cooldown, but that was only implemented on NA bcs ppl was using a XML edit to remove the hit 2 and 3. I'm really pissed, bcs I was excited about the class and everything, and it just got a random nerf for random reason bcs someone complained about it. That's not really fair. What about BM 3rd spec that removes their last falling star hit using also XML edits to get more dps? And all the other classes that I see my friends commenting around about how they used a XML mod to get more dps and so. Why archer needs to get this treatment? BM 3rd spec is really OP and no one ever complained about it. So why now I need to have a sluggish RMB for no aparent reason? I don't even use any mod for it, and it's ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ slow. Can't this delay be lowered or something? Because that doesn't even exist in other bns servers *shrugs*

I confirm this. My ET had the same issue. Close to last phase, game freezes for solid 5 seconds, and we wipe bcs it's right when we had to use party protections.

Or you can reroll ice with the new accessory system. Macro and simple mode friendly; Good at pvp; Better opener; Cooler effects; DPS is now even between both specs.
