According to some guy, here is the spread of classes at Gold in PvP right now (since the ranks were reset, these are actually the highest ranked players, pretty much) https://www.reddit.com/r/bladeandsoul/comments/4589p2/class_data_regarding_gold_pvp/quote:2/11/2016 8:56:00 AM Lmao Only surprise is I would expect KFM to be lower and Assassin to be higher, but besides that looks about right

I had the whole back line left and had to kill them two or three at a time while dying and crawling my way to chi recover before I could actually focus on Bomani. So just to be clear, does this mean I need to kill them during the preceding fights on that floor, or kill them in between the prior fight and the Bomani fight (my precious dumpling time  )?

You need to charge NCcoin at least once to be able to send mail. It's another anti botting measure.

How do y'all feel about the game in terms of its "F2Pness?" The BnS subreddit is plastered in complaints about how it's too restrictive. Personally, I hope NCSoft keeps on throwing in whale-bait like RNG-boxes to subsidize this cool kung fu fantasy game.

There's very little restrictions if you're F2P, and Premium isn't particularly impressive except for the pretty important Wardrobe feature. Doesn't even get you "free" monthly points like a lot of games Premium does.

A few things can be kinda rough for F2P, like inventory space later on. I will say that as much as I like the game, some troubling signs are emerging in terms of how they're handling F2P and the cash shop. It seems that they don't have the highest confidence in their game's chances of long term success.

I'd argue it's them changing the way the shop works to account for NA player's notorious whale practices. Keep in mind, in KR this is P2P, not F2P. Gearhead posted:Diamond Damage. Ruby Power. Amethyst Life Drain. The rest is just seasoning. I'd say get a Peridot that gives you Immune and Crit on evade after these 3 (since it applies to actual evades too, and not just the RNG evade, so it'll work on your Q/E/SS)

So right now my friends and I are on Yunwa, we have been 45 for a little while and have mostly True Profane10 weapons. I was always curious about server populations and after going through the arena leaderboards I'm more worried than before about this server's longevity (first player is on page 11). Basically, do you guys think that they will merge the lower pop servers down the line, or should I just try to cut my losses and remake on Mushin? I was thinking if I do anything I'll wait until the currency exchange is out and (assuming Hongmoon coins are account wide), do it then if there are no words on server merges.

They'll merge for sure, don't think I've ever seen an mmo that didn't do it when they had really low pops. However we might not get a choice in where we get merged with, so you're taking that risk,

I think things like lockboxes and unsealing charms make the game feel even more f2p than it was intended to. When you have to unseal an item that came from a lockbox that itself came from a second lockbox, it's hard to say they aren't trying to get people to buy consumables. Other than that, the restrictions aren't that bad, but the rarity of venture tokens kinda sucks. I bought a couple character slots and wanted to start earning hongmoon coin to expand my inventory, but I've seen literally one venture token in over 150 reward chests. It makes hongmoon coin seem like the bare minimum of lip service to the idea that free players just take more time to get the same stuff, and that's really disappointing.

Nobody answered my question from earlier so I'll ask again: I have a character name reserved on a level 1 that I want to use when Warlock comes out, my question is: How long do I need to wait for the name to become available, and is the name reserved on all servers?

Only thing to keep in mind is the delete timer goes up to about a week at level 16 and a full month(haven't seen it for myself) at 45, which is annoying if you want to swap servers since from what I can find online they have never done server transfers for any region.

A week or a month? Honestly what is it with those assholes, they give you two slots and timers that long. I can sort of understand the one at max level but I played until level 20ish before I decided I didn't like the class. That just seems like a complete dick move.

When you have to unseal an item that came from a lockbox that itself came from a second lockbox, it's hard to say they aren't trying to get people to buy consumables. The key thing is kind of understandable (though they seem to be giving more Brilliant ones through surveys now so they seem to understand people are having some issues with boxes) but you can't even buy unsealing charms on the shop so I don't know what those have to do with anything. That's just helping get gold out of the economy gradually. I think part of the reason venture tokens are rare is the primary way to get hongmoon coins is SUPPOSED to be the currency exchange (where you can just directly exchange gold for hongmoon coins), but they chose to delay opening that until a later patch in order to give the economy and game time to settle in the game's infancy before they allow ncoin/gold trading. I realize that has an impact on people who want to do that early on and I'm sure they do too, but it sounds like the kind of thing where you have to make the tradeoff to not gently caress your game's economy up too much early on. I'd still like to see them put a few more tokens in daily dash or something though.

It's primarily to prevent someone from logging into your account and deleting your character. Or rage deleting. It's a good feature. Now starting with 2 character slots, that's kind of a dick move. At least they're not hideously expensive, but still, meh.

Well yeah but usually that timer is way shorter, all it actually does in this case is punish people who really want to try out different classes. I'm not a fan of even the short timers and while we're at it I hate those onscreen keyboard things that's another thing I either set ultra generic and reuse or come back to the game after a while of not playing and have to remember what I set it to. Usually leading to me trying a few things and when it's none of those just not bothering with the game again.

Should really have all your 2FA in Authy or Authenticator Plus, then you don't have to worry about it. [Edit] Or if you're using the static pin for whatever reason, just put it as a note in your password vault for the NCSoft entry.

Honestly, since as far as I can tell the benefit of having multiple characters on one account is either entirely or mostly non-existent, I just made another account when I wanted to try more classes. Unless I missed something major, two characters on the same account share literally nothing (besides maybe cash shop stuff? I never buy anything in these games so I wouldn't know.) so it didn't really make a big difference.

Personally, I hope NCSoft keeps on throwing in whale-bait like RNG-boxes to subsidize this cool kung fu fantasy game. I dunno. Hadn't played an mmo in a couple years but they seem pretty loving stingy with player services considering how hard they are whaling. No money drops without premium. No free wardrobe. Two measly character slots. Character bound outfits. No player mailing unless you've paid (what the gently caress, seriously). Insanely expensive outfits, not to mention RNG boxes. (Plus that puffy coat was free in taiwan through an event, according to a friend.) Limited AH listings. Limited inventory. Training tickets, character appearance tickets, weapon skins and other consumables. The disappearance of outfit salvaging, so you can't craft more stuff with fabric. lovely spin dash with nary any important items. The whole premium bonus experience/money/etc thing AND tiers of premium, to boot. Like... holy poo poo, dude. Laughing at the guy that blows a thousand dollars in boxes is a jolly good time but you'd think they'd do premium OR RNG boxes OR super expensive outfits, not all of it at the same time. They might or might not make changes once they see how much money they can reliably pull but right now they are pretty heavy handed about it.

Not really looking to whiteknight this game, but the "premium" benefits in this game are completely underwhelming and the only thing they're getting money from is whales paying for costumes and wardrobe access. The money you get is negligible, outfits are always character bound, inventory space is always minimal, daily dash is always lovely, etc. The reason you have to pay to use mail and it takes ages to delete characters 15+ is for anti-botting measures. I had a premium subscription for 7 days to get the faster queues during the initial rush but have never felt a need to resubscribe.

Det_no posted:The disappearance of outfit salvaging, so you can't craft more stuff with fabric. Daily dash is never going to give that important of items. It's "better" in other regions because those regions have been established a lot longer than ours and the material needs are different . People just got hosed up expectations because they grabbed another region's daily dash for beta and people were expecting to get a bazillion soulstones all the time and poo poo at release. I also think the outfit salvaging issue is another one of those weird issues due to us being "too early" for the lv50 patch. There are outfits at lv50 that are salvageable and I think they may have disabled the earlier ones so people couldn't just farm fabric super easy (bots and such), but we can't actually get to the point in the game where we could get those. There's no real way to tell though since that's all internal stuff, other than there are plenty of other weird little problems that have arisen because of the 45cap-on-lv50 patch thing so I wouldn't be surprised. They seem intent on just pushing forward until 50 without loving around with too much earlier stuff like that which is why you have warlock razors dropping and such.
