For tags at the times are **COMPLETELY** horrible. Since the patch I´ve played tags 2 times. Today we tried again only to then figure out Sunday is not a tag day. Ok then alt+f4 doing something else, because we forgot the day matters. I played tags before sometimes multiple times a week. I have been very active for a long time. Now it´s declining. And with that patch the decline just taking up paste rapidly. At the very least make tags be open every day. And change the times in the games GUI from UTC to local time when displayed in the client. When I initially read the patch notes I just thought I´m never gonna be playing tags again until I figured out it´s UTC time, because for something like 20:30-21:00 CET I would not even bother to log in for tags (I´m not really even starting the game before 20:00 CET). Before the patch pretty much after every season I had 4 gold sins and a gold BM in tags with multiple hundreds of games in total. At this point in time I have 14 tag-games across all my chars in total this season. Obviously, I´m gonna be bronce from here on out in tags and if I play I´m just gonna end up facerolling the worst of the players there are, because I just can´t play games to begin with. What exactly did you think you where going to fix with that patch? Wintraders? Honestly, who cares anymore at this point. I´d rather have a game to play than no game to play.

The new RYZEN chips are not better than anything for gaming. Nobody in their right mind would buy a 6900k for gaming purposes either, so comparing it to that when your intention is to play (ESPECIALLY older games such a blade and soul) is completely irrelevant. Dont get me wrong RYZEN is a great cpu, especially considering amds past processors and comparing it to what intel has to offer for production work its pricing is insane. But for gaming ABSOLUTELY not! Maybe when they release the 4 cores, that might be fine valuewise, eventually. We dont know that yet. I dont really expect them to beat the 7600k/7700k either, but they might be a good value option. Either way i would not recommend RYZEN just yet, because in buying an ryzen cpu your also sort of buying yourself in into AMDs beta for their completely new platform. Youll eventually run into troubles here and there and programms might not perform properly as they are not optimized for it. Older programms also probably wont even attemt to optimize anything for RYZEN. There is a lot of issues still. Even things like AMDs version of hyper threading, they call SMT backfires sometimes as SMT does introduce a lot of overhead that intel had too at some point, but got mostly rid of to the point where it no longer effects performance, but with RYZEN right now you actually might suffer performance decrease by having SMT enabled when using programss that wont benefit from the extra virtual cores. If you want a great CPU for mainly gaming and especially older games like balde and soul intel is still the way to go (7600k or 7700k). I dont dislike amd at all, but even if they would slightly crush intels lineup in the gaming segment with the pricing, witch again they dont anyways, i still would not be too comfortable buying a completely new cpu until there was a lot of time for possible refinements on the board manufacturer side and better even a RYZEN v2 launch that might improve SMT further and things like that. I dont need a new cpu myself i just was curious what amd put out, but i would not have bought it either way as im perfectly happy with my 4790k, still. If youre gonna buy an 1800x you pretty much have to have another use for it than just gaming as for pure gaming id recommend the 7600k over it any day. Better performance out of the box, cheaper, overclocks better and its around for much longer. The 1800x is not abysmal for gaming either, but its just not what you want to buy unless you have a better use for it alongside of gaming.
