Is the marketplace screwed for anyone else? I was going to check out this soul shield primer business but I can't search for anything and nothing shows up under the categories. The only way I can get items to appear is to basically do a blank search and then its one big list.

I think NCSoft had some internal issues across their whole platform yesterday. There was downtime to fix it in bns at least, I assume their other games had it too.

Well that seems bad for whatever shadow of a player economy this game has.

I'm surprised so few people play this. The gameplay's p fun, a nice change of pace from WoW style clickers, and the game itself is real pretty and has lots of nice stuff for dressups.

Yeah, I always kind of wished this one had been more successful because it's actually fun. But NCSoft ruins everything they touch, what can you do?

I think not launching it three years after the eastern release and right before bdo would've helped.

Didn't they kill CoH for this?

And then held it back in favor of Wildstar?

NCSoft is full of geniuses, I tell you.

I believe them holding it back in favor of Wildstar was true, though I can't say that with any certainty since it's been so long. It's also supposed to be one of the reasons it took so long for GW2 to get actual expansions.

I enjoyed B&S but it has too many Asian MMO design decisions that make it hard for me to play for long.

I did as well, and I never encountered a Korean MMO endgame routine that isn't a punishing voluntary job and I've long since given up trying

The game is very fun if you want a good leveling experience and fun combat.

Its awful if you want to jump into end game raids without dropping cash

If you just enjoy running dungeons and progressing super slow then its still good.

Crimson faction chat on Zulia (assuming probably others as well, but ceru outfits are ugly so I wouldn't know) and the subreddit have been melting down since they released the patch notes including the Radiant Energy change. Just a heads up in case anyone else enjoys watching people get very mad at video games, enjoy.

It was annoying when it was 10g since I bought probably 600g worth at 12g/ea

Now at 15g I get to make a profit :getin:

I made a summoner the other day and I think I’m lvl 18 now. It’s kind of fun, but I think I’d enjoy a different class more. I just kind of stand around while my cat does all the work. I’d call it a decent game though.

If you want a class that presses all the buttons, play KFM.

Only if the NPC still calls me "cricket" that was really endearing, until you know.... he stopped calling me cricket. At least I think it was a he, honestly it's loving hard to tell.

Echoing KFM as a good choice if you want to feel more involved, assassin is also good for that. The melee classes in general tend to be more dynamic/involved overall, though, so you could probably pick any of them and feel a big difference. I personally think KFM is the most fun class in the game though!

If you like being ranged and the idea of having a summon, try Warlock instead. Their thrall isn't permanent, and only has a few commands (Q/E/Tab are the only ones you control on demand - you customize their other skills within the skill tree and they use the chosen skill automatically when conditions are met, rather than manually like summoner commanding cat) so you don't end up with half of your skill bar being pet/pet support abilities, meaning your actual player character skill rotation is a bit more involved.

SB is ridiculous and needs nerfed honestly. It makes a single class a literal must have in any group doing difficult content.

Also I'm on zulia, guy who was asking.

I got a free 50 gunslinger out of that promo event thing recently. Well, I got the email and did whatever to get it anyway.

Might try briefly playing this again since as you folks say, RMB is a lot better than all that fiddly crap the launch classes had.
