NCSOFT Nico Posted November 1, 2019 NCSOFT Share Posted November 1, 2019 Greetings, Warriors of the Earthen Realm! I hope you all enjoyed watching the 2019 Blade & Soul World Championship! I just got back from a trip over to HQ where we got to find out more about the upcoming content for Blade & Soul, and in light of the surprise announcements at the end of the World Championship, I wanted to clarify what that means for us players here in the west. The Unreal Engine 4 update you saw in the trailer is called “Blade & Soul: Complete” in Korea. As part of that update, Korea will introduce “Frontier World” – a separate server intended to show off the capabilities of Unreal Engine 4 with a focus on open-world Player vs Player and Realm vs Realm combat beginning in December. This server is currently intended only for Korea and there are no plans to bring it to the west. But what does that mean for us players in the west? Well, first and foremost, it means we’re closer to getting the Unreal Engine 4 for live servers. It’ll take some time to work through the kinks, but we’re expecting Unreal Engine 4 visual updates to roll out to live servers in the west in 2020. We can’t wait until we have more concrete details to share with you! In the meantime, we’re still on track for a major update in December, and we’ve got some surprises in store for our 4th anniversary – we’ll share more about the direction of the game in the next upcoming producer’s letter. -Nico Coutant, Blade & Soul Senior Producer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kara the fish Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 At last a decent response from any NCSoft staff! Thanks for the info but... Can I ask to control the materials prices and stuff? You are scaring new players and potential costumers with all the negativity from the veteran and new people. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rysa Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Great. We went from "Spring 2020 release" for UE4 to just "2020", doesn't bode well. Also, what are you gonna do about your last 3 patchs failures? Where are the cost reductions for Grand Celestial 3-9 weapons? Where is the proper Easy mode with reduced HP as stated by your patch notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belido Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 thx for the update, guess it will take a while until UE4 is on live servers, but at least they install some beta server (aka frontier server) for improved testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaynePillukZulia Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I've been expecting this for over 3 years, an improvement for optimization, here comes this postpone? They just want to know about the trove ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rysa Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 UE4 better come really early in 2020 because there's no way in hell this game will survive another year with so few players left and so many failed patchs in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the quick post and clearing up some things but honestly you always say on every anniversary that you have surprises and most of them are us again giving u money to enjoy the said anniversary. Getting tired of this,playing this game since it launched on the west but going nowhere with each anniversary. Anyway hope we get UE4 soon, people can be patient for so long.

Arent 90% of the issues ppl have now due to visuals killing fps and the UE3 engine just being too poor to run properly? xD so in essence UE4 even visual upgrades will help a lot.

I would rather have that too but I've played this game long enough to know that they're going to release this in Korea, then have the players beta test it in production there, after which they'll patch the bugs people find to some degree. And then, months later, we get the same bug-ridden first release that KR got. They've done this before on multiple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost ark recently came out in Russia, it's on Ue3 and runs PERFECTLY WELL, it's not engine problem 90% don't complain about fps issues, 90% complain about how ncsoft manages this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
