Think they'll implement a server transfer at some point? I assume they'll merge the lower pop realms at some point, but it's somewhat annoying being on Yunwa with a comparatively minor pop.

According to some Google research, Blade & Soul has no current way of enabling server transfers (this includes all versions of the client). I recall some EU players attempting to request a server transfer and being denied outright saying it wasn't available. In all honesty, it's not difficult to level a character and unless you have spent a lot of funds on your current one, you can easily get help leveling on Mushin or any other goon populated server you may join.

Sorry, It looks like my files don't actually have that npc in them... Everyone in that outfit is a man, and no LynF with those glasses has that eye dot thing.
...which makes this whole project kind of pointless now that I think about it.

:ohdear: Well I didn't mean to take the wind out of your sails.

That's odd, though, that the character isn't in the files. How is she rendered, then, I wonder?

Thanks for trying, at any rate, and if you find some way to do it, that preset would still be cool.

More just whenever I'm out doing dailies no one ever seems to want to do Blackwyrm, generally due to only having 2-3 MW channels. I know it's pointless once I get the weapon requirement for Poh, but when I see a dragon in muh MMORPGs I feel obligated to slay the dragon :black101:

Finally hit 40, and this new zone is poo poo, and the storyline just took a dump and rolled in it. Eugh...

I'm actually curious, without spoiling much does Poharan become a recurring character later on? Between her insane popularity with the fanbases in Asia and her distinctive visual design and musical theme, she seems like a shoo-in to get elevated to "main cast status" in later acts.

Without spoilers? Yes. She shows up as a Big drat Hero in act 6. That's all I can safely say. All the blackram people get elevated, actually. The Blackrams are the most honest people in the game to the PC, save Mushin

I've seen her in a lot of later cut scenes I saw on you tube so I think so.

If I was to turn this into a plotline like in my animes:

I can almost imagine it in the sense of you beat up Poharan pretty hard and she starts having a love-hate relationship with you (because you beat her but she starts stalking you to learn from you), which gets the attention of her dad who doesn't approve of this sort of relationship and confronts you about it, who you then also beat up pretty hard, but following this he suddenly approves of you because you're stronger than him.


On a more serious side: Is Namsoyoo actually a Stratus Princess of a sort, or is the name of the pre-Talus princess mentioned in one of the sidequests at Taigong's Hideaway happen to have a similar name to her due to Korean naming conventions?

You may be thinking of Yunma Fei, the skyhaven resistance leader [and talus princess]

I think Namsoyoo is just important because she's a virgin and the ritual JSY needs to summon the dark lord needs a virgin (but she may have ties to Jiwan somehow too. Maybe. :iiam:)

Don't forget that the entire blackram narrative is basically this: Pc saves village, runs off gwon. Runs off gwon AGAIN, and ruins all his operations in the south continent. Then you end up saving Gwon's life. So now Gwon hates you but owes you a huge debt. He calls in his superior (Poh) who arrives back to oversee the moonwater supply chain. You beat the hell out of her and ruin thatoperation as well. Then you crash Hae mujin's own prowling ground, and wreck him as well. You basically did a klingon promotion, if you think about it.

Just want to point out that Hae Mujin is her grandfather, not her dad. I want to pretend that her dad is just some ordinary guy with a normal job and the rest of his family is crazy pirates.

From the information available it should also run pretty decently in wine, but doesn't because Gameguard. To the best of my knowledge, nProtects dubiously capable "hack-prevention" software is basically a rootkit; wine doesn't like that so it won't run it. There's a workaround available (i.e. disabling gameguard) but that risks a ban and I'll admit I'm rather leery of that possibility. I've got a Windows install on an ageing secondary hard drive anyway so for as long as that keeps functioning I guess I'll stick to rebooting into windows to play.

I've been playing as a Blade Master and have had a lot of fun. I was talking to a friend about it, and he's interested but wants to know if there are any 'gun' classes. I know NPCs have guns, and one of the splash screens have a Catgirl holding a minigun, but can you actually have guns in this game?

Yes, it costs 6s and you might have to spam it a bit since blue is full, but it'll let you through. Find a faction dude in a major city and you'll be able to do it from there.

You cannot. It is speculated that waaay back in pre-alpha there was going to be one, but it was removed for no given reason.

A lot of things in pre-alpha went weird. Every race was gonna have some kinda Beast Mode effect too, this was largely cut except for Mushin's head spikes and the werewolves which were made from the chopped up assets of Lyn monstering out.

About the only thing COMPLETELY unchanged from pre-alpha are the Pot Dogs.

There was a gun-using class in a very early version of the game, but it didn't make it. Supposedly, the next new class (after Chi Master, which KR just got) will be something people have wanted for years. That probably narrows it down to archer or gunner, as there's no physical ranged class and people have long requested one.
