NCSOFT Green Storm Posted January 28, 2022 NCSOFT Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thank you, @Hime, for supporting the Blade & Soul Community since the original launch! And hello, Blade & Soul Community! I've been at NCSOFT for many years now, and I'm excited to dive deeper into the Earthern Realm (I played the game when it first came out). I will focus on delivering the news about the new game content on all our channels (blog, social, forum). I'll try to engage with this community as much as time allows me to, but it will take some time until I'm all settled. Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see in 2022 for Blade & Soul! 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Green Storm and Rynara, We'd like to see more communication with the players. Perhaps a bit more transparency when it comes to certain questions the players have. Basically share as much as you're allowed so that silence is not an answer and some players don't over-react when a maintenance is being done and we're being thanked for our patience without knowing what has happened. Take care Hime. o/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekinah Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Meh, nothing of value was lost and nothing is gained I'd say. The community and content management was so bad in the last years that it basically didn't exist in the first place. Though I doubt the responsibilty for that is on the specific persons working here at WEST. On a personal level, @HimeI never really liked you but I wish you luck wherever you go now. @Green Storm, if you really are that long at NC, some suspect you are a developer, I won't say "welcome" but rather "brave of you to join this s**t show". Communication is the reason and cure to basically anything that goes wrong here for BnS. The anniversary patch wasn't tested at all. Maybe except for "yep, game's running". Ladders not working, people can't join battleground or do solo dungeons. Voice is screwed up since months. Rewards for Soul Booster aren't working or are not adjusted to our game's version. Oh, and it's been almost 2 weeks and the skil changes still weren't posted. Just what the **** is wrong here? I have no hopes for good changes actually. Not if noone goes over to korea and smacks everyone on the head over there. Because their job is so badly done it's unbelievable. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lägêrtha Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Out of courtesy: Bye and welcome 🙂 At this point technical aspect is a problem, not "communication" and "community management". You guys are simply incapable of managing the game on technical level. @Green Storm Does test server still exist? Do patches get applied on it and tested by some GM(s) that actually knows and plays the game? Do you have the authority to simply postpone patch until proper one is delivered by Koreans? If answers are "no" any "engaging with community" can't help you, you are in trouble 😉 Edited January 29, 2022 by Lägêrtha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchnixXilein Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 It's about time tbh.. I mean, we still didn't get skill patch notes from the patch 2 weeks ago. It still says "Full details will be available later" Sad thing is, I am sure nothing will change. Game was doomed when Jonathan left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to buy you a Headset.. @Green Storm I read some stupid things in this thread, I cant unterstand it. I look forward to improvements and innovations! I´m glad you asking for our opinion, there are many things, what should be changed. I hope many people make some suggestions. I´m happy to see, that the Team is not dying.

swordin Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 not like i havent been around for a while but it will never settle well with me how cruel some individuals allow themselves to come across... looking for better reality is what lead me to embark on my journeys with this environment and while i still think it offers the best, it clearly has its dampers reducing the atmosphere of fun with a list of borderline agreeable discontentments, if only it were less emotionally charged during presentation, this player commune i observe here tends to disregard advisable choices in the betterment of their community, nevertheless this player remains stalwart and risks it all to appear distinguished from the depraved... I will hold fondly in my heart every moment we shared over the cause, and beyond. and i think anyone reading this far cannot deny their willingness for a fulfilled future, and to that we all go together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amane Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 As much as I read this... @Himegoing out of NCWest is bad for the game. Not everything you did was the right calls by all means. I still wish you all the best in any future endeavors and take care of yourself! ------------------------------ @Green StormI do really hope for you this isn't your first and also last post on these forums, because the western server of Blade & Soul is in absolute shambles. People are leaving every day, the issues get more and more as much as we go further ahead. Breaking servers, huge cheating issues, broken patches... the game was NEVER in such a bad spot like right now. You really got to prove that you're serious about your opening post and try to help and get this game back up. We need a strong CM that clearly tells Korea that some things are NOT okay to do on our version. You really took this position at the worst time possible right now. And people, especially in this community, are big doubters. Prove them wrong, with actions and words. I'll wait and see. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lägêrtha Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Seriously guys, "communication" is last of their issue atm. I wish they prove me wrong, but I'm pretty sure there is no person in NCWest that is currently actual with the game and have power or knowledge to influence anything. Ever since infamous Bamboo "event" when they was knowing about "abuse", threatening players on forum but done absolutely nothing for whole week to prevent it, it was obvious that they simply don't have proper staff and technical capabilities to manage own game. Late half-ass "solutions" to punish "abusers" that left some enormous rich and some that touched it out of pure curiosity "punished" just made things even worse. And similar things repeats over and over, and main problem is their technical inability to manage the game. Basic principle of MMO game is fairness, that work will be rewarded and that there is no shortcuts around it, and that same rules apply for everyone. Actual state of game is that community lost any sense of fairness and is abusing everything that can be abused, again as consequence of NCWest incompetence to manage the game. All the communication and fulfilling our wishes comes just after they become able to fix things above and to properly manage the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hello @Green Storm Welcome. You are with us for a week now and you allready fail in doing what a community manager should be doing....communicate. There are dozens of issues that we want answered. Besides a proper introduction I would like to know what you are going to do to make things better for us? I would love to get a fulltime job where i have to post 5x on a forum in a week and get paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
