Blade And Soul Graphics Settings

When i watch jaesung when he plays on KR, his graphics settings are like really low and most particles are barely visible. Does NA not have these options and why wouldnt they include it considering not everybody in America has a power house of computer that requires a fricking power generator?.... My PC is fine for me since all i do is PvP and get Cheap BNS Gold but open world out in moonwater plains or in dungeons where i get like 20 which is manageable but enjoyable for the most part.

There are settings in there which aren't in the in-game options actually, and if you read any of my post it'd be clear that I am arguably one of the most knowledgeable people on the game's files. Additionally in those files you can set the settings to values which aren't options in game, higher and lower than their limits in game. That is the easiest way to extend your graphic settings without decompiling the game's files and editing those xml files.

I mean regardless of OP being an asshole or not. The response help could of been more detailed as well. I mean saying you can turn down settings more in your config files isn't really specific.

It would be better to say something like My Documents/BnS/<configfilename>.cfg
Change values you see under the [GFX] section all down to 1.

I get it that the people who know how to do it shouldn't assume that people who ask for help actually know what they are doing.
I mean some of the help you guys provide BNS Power leveling here are extremely vague.

I have enough quartz to make another 2 BnS patch

The thing is I have enough quartz to make another 2 patch as I'd bought them beforehand. Is just the tears I'll need to buy as I have 4 of 10 of them. Is just soul stone I'm missing. I have kill the other fraction daily and I only kill them if they attack me or if my party (that way in a few days I'll have another turnover for that quest). My thing is, I'm thinking of just saving enough BNS Gold to craft the stones (estimated to be a week to get all I need). Than I'll just have to focus on getting enough for my soul stones.

100 soul stones = 30G (on my server. I'm actually playing on EU and I believe the prices alter region to region)
Bsh + Poh = 6G
4 blue dungeon = 2.5
Fraction = 0.6 (estimate) + 17 soul stones
Poh 6 + BSH 6 = 2.5
Mushin tower = 2.5 (fighting Mushin 1 and Junghado + 6 floors)
ToE = 0.3 + 2 soul stones
Total = 12.3 + 19 soul stones (not including my prem membership with a few bronze per kill)

30/12.3 = 2.6 days (including making it in order and getting them) = 10 MTS
Already have 1 batch cooking
10 MTS today another in 4 days
Need 24 soul stones

24-10 = 14 left to craft
4 days of craft = 19 * 4 = 76 soul stone
100-76 = 24 soul stone needed to get my final batch
24 * 0.3 = 7.2 Blade & Soul Gold needed
During the day I craft I'll have another day of 12 gold
12- 7.2 = 4.8gold
6 MTS left.
1 week

Sell them 6 * 5.8 = 34.8 gold
34.8 gold = 116 Soul stones.
660 - 116 = 544 left to farm

544/19 = 29 days
But during that I'll need other material to evolve and my gold

9 days after would = 12.3 * 9 = 110.7 gold
110.7/0.3 = 369 soul stones
19*9 = 171

544- 369 - 171 = 4 soul stones needed = 10 days for soul stones

17 days = all MTS + Soul stones gained and needed
17 days = 17 Poh Gun oil (have 5 of them already)
17 days = 34 Hae Mujin (I have 22 of them already)
Heard you'll need Naryu Silver and I have 80

My question is. Is this an aright plan or do I really need to make another bns gold farmer? Cause I only enjoy playing as a force master

NCSoft west clearly expects this game to die within a year

Let's just look at some of the things they have been doing:

• Many of the cash shop items are event items in other regions. Where are these events? Some of the Poharan items are event rewards. Who wants to bet they'll be in the cash shop as well?

• Extremely stingy with hongmoon coins. In japan you get their hongmoon coin equivalent from the daily dash. Only way to get hongmoon coin is by getting those silly venture tokens which pretty much never drop, or buying Ncoin from another player with BNS Gold, which requires giving NCSoft MORE MONEY.

• Terrible localization. NCSoft is paying people to translate this game and they do a worse job than fans who translated without pay? So NCSoft hired people who can't do their job properly. Excellent savings for good old NCSoft I'm sure.

• Releasing content rapidly to maintain initial hype. Too bad we're not getting those events though. Gunna have to give NCSoft more money.

• I know this has been beaten to death, but the bot problem is VERY BAD. But it's ok, we have Trusty GameGuard. God forbid they actually hire someone to do something about it.

• Only way to obtain fabric is GIVE NCSOFT MORE MONEY. Their BS excuse is the best; "oh, we don't want bots farming it at R4PG BNS Gold Store." Yet bots are farming a bunch of other things. How strange that they chose FABRIC to be the thing that they were really concerned about bots farming. Nevermind that some of these outfits aren't easy for bots to farm, NOPE. No salvaging for u unless you PAY UP.

These are just the things I've noticed, and when I take all of these things into consideration I just can't help but think NCSoft is just trying to maximise their short term profits on this game and when they run out of stuff to use to milk us of all our cash they'll just let the game die and the bots will rule everything. If they really cared about the long term survivability of this game they would be scrambling to fix these issues, but instead it just seems like they're trying to minimize costs and just hope that no one notices, at least until they rake in big buckets of cash.

Most of those events you speak of are on servers with up-to-date content. Im sure that once we get Silverfrost, the updates will start slowing down and the events will start picking up in order to give people things to earn more Cheap Blade And Soul Gold. Im happy we're getting fast content because it keeps things fresh. A lot of people are currently at True Pirate and Awakened/True Siren accessories and things are getting boring. The only things to farm after that is the soul and BW gems. Id rather have loads of content faster so that we have a goal set to achieve.

I want to be a good summoner in Blade & Soul

As a test, I decided to actually genuinely make a Summoner and play it in PvP to see what it was genuinely like. Please note, I am the worst PvP player in the world. I can't get my FM out of silver into BNS Gold for god sake (I'm a damn good PvEr, just can't really play FM in PVP :() My Sin is high gold and my Dest is plat. All HM lvl 2+.

I spent an hour or two getting my Summoner to 24, and decided to try PvP.

In 2/3 hours I was plat. I still don't know how I did it, or what I did that made me win against any of these classes. I literally just ran around in the circle, snared, healed, forced their tabs with my cat and just disappeared for a bit and tabbed them again and killed them. I was on a damn 16+ win streak, all the way until I went against a Destroyer and a KFM who murdered me (they should do, they're better than I am clearly). Even when I got to plat, I was winning against plat classes easily. It wasn't hard.

If a bad PvPer like me can get the plat, then good lord. How the hell can any summoners even remotely sit there and tell me for a split second that the class is not easy to play with Blade & Soul Gold. You don't even NEED to understand your class, or most of the complexities of other classes to win.

Look, yeah, Summoners at 50 will suck, I get that. But seriously, don't come in here and try to tell people Summoners are complex machines. They're not in any way or shape, difficult to play.

Why dont u guys who are complaining about a broken class play that class? If u dont play it, just except it or quit this game, because when lv 50 content comes out, other classes will dominate u guys again. Some will be happy because they play that class, some wont. Some who wont have a broken class will complain again?

And I'm sure u will bla bla bla more when u know that WL and FM can earn 500-600 Blade And Soul Gold per day (as TW price) easily as fuk while u with melee classes barely make dozens BNS Gold a day? Will u complain about it more?

If u like some classes with enuf conditions to play it, just master it and except the disadvantages of it, if not, just switch to class that u consider a broken class. This game lvlling is to easy to do that.

I have never seen a f2p BNS with actually so little p2w aspects in it.

At some points, especially 45, it does seem implied that the only way to move on is by a sudden flare of BNS Gold which is how people get caught and end up buying gold. However, that is just the common response to the shock factor most games try to pull off. You get small amounts of ingame currency as you go on, and then when they know you've reached a point where you'll need something to continue--it's a ridiculous price.

And what is the first reaction most people have? "What? How am I suppose to make this amount when all I have is 'this' amount? ... Oh wait, I can buy it."

And let's be honest,

After seeing that price, we think of the amount of questing we have to go through in order to get it, the struggle. And when you don't have the time or just don't want to deal... best thing to do is buy your way out, but that's because we chose to, not because it's required. You don't pay to win, you just pay to advance to something that in the end, if it's done right, we'll all achieve eventually.

Well, i played from the release day, and seriously, without paying irl money for gold ( or cash shop rng box to get load or mat, so Blade & Soul Gold ) or without scaming at the AH, since there was already ppl with the head start.
All price was insanely high.
I struggled during like 2-3weeks ( or more, dont really remember tho ) with the true profane, because at this time 4-5hours = 1moonwater transformation stone
+ count several days to be able to get the moonwater secret stuff to be able to craft trans stone yourself
+ count even more days / week to far thoses shit faction quest giving jack sh#t for SS to not spare gold
+ count all mat your need for upgrade beside trans stone & ss

You struggle doing the same sh#t 4-5hours / days during easyly more than a month. And time you finaly got everything you need to be self dependant, you barely do money from your craft.

Seriously, as much as i loved that game for the gameplay, so art style, this horrible grindfest setting was absolutely exhausting. Because you "have" to be up to date as much as you can.

That, and the crap server ( and thoses guys dont even need some BNS Items, and certainly never will, fix that ), i finaly dont regret totaly quiting that game.
Actualy, its more a relief when you uninstall the game and say" f# that sh#t grind" i'am done.

And sad such setting totaly waste the game, because, beside that, its really excellent to play, but well.

Blade And Soul Cold Storage Guide

There is only one boss, he's literally right in front of you after clearing mobs. It's a Blood Mane with mechanics reversed: you don't want the robots to hit him (I don't know why exactly).

You can also spawn King Kaari in the dungeon by using three different colored orbs (I don't know where to get them, from Cold Storage mobs perhaps?).

Sogun's Lament/Snow Jade Palace:
http://www.bladeands...ce-guide-64man/
http://www.freedompl...e-palace-guide/

Boss 1: Cheap BNS Gold and Silver Boys:
Two fat sumo guys with axes.
Party splits before coming across these two bosses.
When they do their red area of effect, they will gain a buff. If they reach four stacks, they will wipe the party. The buff can only be removed if you knock them down, but do it at 3 stacks.
Whenever they are knocked down, they will jump over to the other side of the field. They will then grab the tank afterwards, so CC them.
Don't touch the lake in the middle since it one shots you.

Miniboss: Mini Balrok:
Kill six shield guys and take their shield. Mini Balrok will spawn and throw lightning spears that can be reflected with 1.

Boss 2: Balrok:
After some damage he will spawn clones in the sides of the room. You can only get rid of them by CC: the blue one needs double stun and the green one needs double knockdown.
After killing the clones, six shield guys will spawn in the middle. Kill them for their shield and pick it up.
Balrok will throw 12 lightning spears at everyone. Press 1 to reflect them back at the boss.
After Balrok throws the spears, tank needs to throw his shield at Balrok (LMB) to deal massive damage and stun him.

Boss 3: Chicken Ganksquad:
Yes, they're literally the chickens flying around Plog Sanctum.
All they do is take turns flying and shooting feathers at the tank. That's literally it.

Boss 4: Asura
Asura periodically summons 6 flowers around the room, and then vacuum them and everyone else. Everyone needs to take these flowers; they poison you (take antidotes if you have any) and snare you, but make you immune to the vacuum and gives you a chi regen buff. He will heal from absorbing flowers; if he absorbs 5 or more, he wipes the party.
At 90%, he will go to the center of the room and have 4 flaming swords on his back..
He generates an area of effect field around him and is immune to damage while its up.
He will shoot 8 flaming arrows at everyone, so everyone needs to huddle up and use an anti-projectile shield.
He will then shoot two spheres that target the furthest player. Position a tank in front of the group and have them block the first sphere only to Buy Blade And Soul Gold. They need to run around the room afterwards, so someone else needs to block the second sphere. Everyone gets an attack buff once the spheres are blocked.
He then shoots his four flaming swords at the person closest to him (the person who blocked the first sphere), so they need to circle the room to avoid hurting people. At this point he loses his damaging aura so go ahead and run back in.
Finally the phase ends with a vacuum + knockback.

At 70%, he will go to the center of the room and have 5 ice swords on his back.
He will drop ice sword area of effects around the room like Hae Mujin, Bay Lee, and Exterminator, and do it three times.
He then generates an area of effect field around him and is immune to damage while its up, so everyone needs to back off.
He will shoot two spheres. Have one person block both.
He will then shoot 8 ice arrows, so huddle up and anti-projectile shield.
Finally the phase ends with a vacuum + knockback.

At 50% he will stop doing his basic attacks, head to the center of the room, and randomly cycle between fire and ice sword phase. He will also periodically drop flowers as he does this and absorb them in the end of his phases.
I don't know what is "Asura's Brand" attack that Scorpion Belt resists, but freedomplays commented that it's not necessary in KR/CN.

BnS content rush is for 1 thing

This content rush is for 1 thing and 1 thing only its to get you to reach into your pockets I played other region and things progressed naturally there, when you need 1250 achievment points for hongmoon skills you were naturally there or at least close just by playing but now it oh crap I need 1250 geez I only have 700 and so on and so on...They push content to get you to reach into your pocket faster to keep up, all dungeons have a AP requirement because all have rage timers so if you want to do them you must reach into your wallet or watch them pass you by because you have fallen to far behind.

Dungeons in this game start to get a lot harder from this point forward and a weak link truly can mean and most likely will mean failure with Cheap Blade And Soul Gold. In the other region I played in, the dungeon finders slowly fades out because content gets to hard and pugging becomes to difficult because of the ever growing divide from those that spent money and those that don`t . I also would like to mention that it also seems like all resources are being used to pump out content instead of looking after the community and fixing some of the numerous concerns the community has, it`s very obvious to me that the direction taken with the NA. version is all about the money, so sad because playing this game at the pace it was meant to be played at is a much better experience in my opinion.

The thing that annoys me most currently is that new content is farmable day one of any new content update we get and will continue that way for the foreseable of BNS Gold. I have pretty decent gear and made some effort towards that with with crafting/400 runs yeti4/dailies and ofc the famous Cashshop

Maybe I expect too much from mmo's having played alot of them but , should a new patch/content update be farmable the instant it goes live and folks be miles ahead of its gear requirements from day 1 of the previous content update .

Its obvious atm that if they released content every day untill there isnt anymore left that there would be people keeping up with the curve and clearing content (farming content) with the Cashshops help

This for me is just wrong imho .
6 months for server first kill aint what ppl want agreed but this just isnt a game when it comes to BNS Power leveling . A game involves some sort of challenge/skill
