Wasn’t born Korean

[little moat]

HELLO MY NAME IS JINWOO CHI, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST TO PLAY EU SERVER BECAUSE KOREA IS NO GOOD

[gilded thistle]

Does he know?

[hard iris]

I wish vindictus had some kind of training ground

[winged reef]

“Please add an on/off function for Hongmoon Arts. It would be nice if we could turn it off when we don’t want it, and turn it on to use when we do.”

I’m guessing that’s blessing

[little moat]

Yes

new server removes that

[hard iris]

New server adds trove instead

[little moat]

Trove

[hard iris]

no more divine gem market

instead trove

koreans don't even give a sht about neo

theo whole spam in chat is about live server

[winged reef]

Q&A longer than the actual showcase

[little moat]

It's understandable to think that Korean players might have deeper insights into Blade & Soul NEO—after all, the game was developed by NCSOFT, a South Korean company, and Korea often gets updates earlier, along with more developer communication in their native language. However, it’s important to be precise and fair in statements like "Koreans are smarter" or "their opinion is based on true facts." Here's a more nuanced breakdown:

Why Korean players might be more knowledgeable:
Earlier Access & Updates
Korean servers often receive patches, content updates, and expansions before other regions. This gives Korean players more time to explore and understand mechanics deeply.

Closer to Developers
Korean players usually have direct access to developer Q&As, patch notes, and community events—all in Korean, often long before they're translated or adapted for global audiences.

Higher Competitive Standards
South Korea has a long-standing, highly competitive MMO and esports culture. That environment pushes players to optimize strategies, theorycraft, and create resources others can later use.
If you're looking for the most accurate information or optimal strategies, Korean sources can be a great reference

ok chatgpt relax

aint nobody reading that

[gilded thistle]

He's into his AI mode

[little moat]

I just spend alot of time typing that and you guys wont even read that, that trully hurts my feelings.
You should all join me in the gulag of bns:neo where you can massage me untill I am satisfied and decide to forgive you guys.

[somber kiln]

I read allat ❤️

[somber kiln]

I gotcha King

[green schooner]

Got it! Here’s a snappy version highlighting that it’s obvious he’s relying on AI and shouldn’t even try to hide it:

Shaddy — 14:19
Bro, it’s painfully obvious you’re just copy-pasting ChatGPT responses at this point. Stop frontin’—we all see it!

Shaddy — 14:19
Bro, it’s painfully obvious you’re just copy-pasting ChatGPT responses at this point. Stop frontin’—we all see it!

[green schooner]

Here’s a playful and slightly mocking response that calls out pdBear Ido and mentions “hexy”:

Shaddy — 14:24
pdBear, even hexy would be disappointed in you, man. You’re just regurgitating what I said like some half-baked parrot. Come on, you can do better!

[gilded thistle]

BDX AI vs Shaddy AI

[little moat]

Why are u jumping like that Chifu, that's highly sussy baka motions.

[gilded thistle]

Im just excited for the fight

Awfully boring day at work

[little moat]

Hypocrites use AI to call out others for using AI because they’re benefiting from the same technology while criticizing others for doing so. It’s like complaining about people using calculators when you’re using one yourself, just in a different form. It’s a double standard where they judge others for something they’re doing themselves.

[little moat]

indeed.

I found @trim knot

[gilded thistle]

[knotty nebula]

[green schooner]

its called a parody you duck

[honest haven]

legendary selection chest when?

[little moat]

I identify as a Swan, a creature of exquisite elegance and untamed beauty. My daily routine involves a graceful glide across the surface of life, head held high, feathers impeccably pristine (well, on my good days).

I don’t walk—I glide. Why shuffle when you can look effortlessly majestic, making even puddles seem like tranquil lakes? My conversations are conducted with a serene tilt of the head, every word spoken with the calm wisdom of someone who has floated through the trials of life without breaking a feather.

No, I don't do chaos. The world may whirl around me, but I remain calm, gliding above it all, untouched. If you find me in a rush, you’ve probably mistaken me for a mallard.

My enemies? Only those who dare disturb my sacred, serene waters. Cross me, and you’ll find yourself face-to-face with a beak that’s surprisingly capable of delivering a fierce warning.

At heart, though, I’m a romantic—because let’s be real, who doesn't want a lifelong partner who also happens to be equally graceful, with impeccable taste in lakes?

[gilded thistle]

[solar python]

NCSofts favourite NPC

[astral tendon]

Get 100 leg cards, fuse them then you can have a selector to pick between master hong or jinsoyun

[gilded thistle]

easy peasy

[astral tendon]

Ezpz is already in the game

Skill issue if you can’t get it

[gilded thistle]

The first fuse always works

Then you hit pity for the next one

[honest haven]

this was my first purple fuse

[gilded thistle]

[honest haven]

I felt like cleaning up my green cards so I spent like 130g fusing them all

moonwater ones at least

[winged reef]

Should have waited for the reduce fusing cost

[gilded thistle]

They will reduce the gold required?

[honest haven]

of course theres always a fkn reduction I'm not aware of 😂

thats why I'm always so paranoid to progress in this game

[astral tendon]

Well I mean ascent cost will be reduced as well

But is that means you will stop ascending your gear and wait for silverforst

[gilded thistle]

Nah

just do it

[astral tendon]

Also, did they mention new gear from silverforst tho

Or are we gonna rocking with the same gear for the next patch

[winged reef]

Reduced cost should come way before Silverfrost

[gilded thistle]

Surely

I don't trust them though

[winged reef]

They already have it then again we will also get Silverfrost sooner

[sage tulip]

how amazing was livestream?

[gilded thistle]

excellent

[sage tulip]

[little moat]

Magnificent

[astral tendon]

That Ne:On stream just saved neo

[winged reef]

It was so good I want to rewatch it

[sage tulip]

[astral tendon]

The game will thrive after that

[gilded thistle]

Surely

[astral tendon]

Too good to be true I still can’t believe it

[gilded thistle]

[sage tulip]

[winged reef]

All I know is I saw Lightning Draw and Skill Cooldown reset

[sage tulip]

where is @urban bridge when we need him

[astral tendon]

I didn’t see any bm change

Did dt finally got fixed

[winged reef]

I don’t think they spoke about any skill changes, only added effects to badges

[gilded thistle]

They said they'll surprise us with legendary puncture

[astral tendon]

Surely dt now will have permanent 7xap mutipler

[gilded thistle]

Surely

[astral tendon]

With rack up damage 0.5 per stack up to 10

[little moat]

Dt stands for DizTrash

[astral tendon]

And dt badge damage is 5x

So finally we can salvage the sun stroke badge

[upbeat fossil]

[winged reef]

^ Legendary DT user copium

[gilded thistle]

[gilded thistle]

[hard iris]

legendary dt user that get outdpst by puncture user

[gilded thistle]

RIP

[hard iris]

72gm losing to 60gm

[astral tendon]

At least make a viable bm leg book

[sage tulip]

clearly a skill issue

[astral tendon]

I’m losing with 78gm lol

[winged reef]

That’s because NCSoft is smart and they know DT will outdps Puncture with enough stacks

[hard iris]

Oh my bad

[winged reef]

So they made Puncture stronger base

[hard iris]

didn't want to undermine you

[gilded thistle]

Yeh they balance builds based on legendary stackign so

[little moat]

Have u tried not losing?

[hard iris]

try agan wiht 140gm nanaya

[gilded thistle]

[winged reef]

Try 236

[astral tendon]

the whole eu literally does not have enough book for that

[gilded thistle]

probably yeah

Also, comparing on wb

when channel differences exist

and balls

like

nah

[little moat]

take all the balls

[astral tendon]

I did 27 attempts over the weekend and ppl accusing me for wipe the market

[gilded thistle]

Just leave the kari essence okay?

I'll provide you with trash purples

[little moat]

I don't get why ya'll still swiping in this game lmao

[gilded thistle]

[winged reef]

I don’t swipe

[little moat]

I got a nice bank account you can spend some money at if you'd like to get rid off some. In exchange that person will tell you what's wrong with you

[winged reef]

Humble lightning player here

[little moat]

[gilded thistle]

I have 4 of those

dont need another one

[winged reef]

You swiped then quit whats wrong with you

[little moat]

I would never!

[gilded thistle]

[little moat]

Tbf, I have spend 1 euro for every 3hrs of gametime

So that's alright

[honest haven]

I spent $15 when I started (a week before poh update) cuz the next battle pass was gonna be worth it my friends said, then they bumped the price to 20 so I couldn't afford it, and I went full spite mode vowing to never spend money again

[hard iris]

BRO, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
Whales are literally ruining the game. These giga-wallet swipers out here clearing the market of every blue and purple book in existence, just to dismantle them like it’s some kind of hobby—FOR WHAT?! Another useless purple book drop that’s not even worth 2k gems?!? 🤡
IT’S NOT NCSoft KILLING THE GAME.
IT’S. THE. WHALES.
They’re too blinded by their power and endless credit card limits to see the chaos they're causing.
Enjoy your empty market and worthless rewards, I guess.
But sure, keep blaming the devs. 😩👏

[winged reef]

The first BP was shorter ofc it’d be cheaper

[gilded thistle]

For what it's worth, i don't buy blue books to salvage

Other than my books, the majority of my gems go to gold and essences

[honest haven]

yeah like a bit after I realized this and it made sense, but it really pissed me off it wasn't communicated xD like I didnt mind paying an extra $5 if I knew beforehand it's just the guesswork that pissed me off

in any case

since then it hasn't been hard to farm ingame for bp

[gilded thistle]

You can definitely make enough from bp to bp to buy it again

[winged reef]

I’ve been getting all BPs

[gilded thistle]

Except for this week

no market

[winged reef]

But the very first one I never did

[honest haven]

yeah I've also bought each, even on my alt once, and I got like 18k rn

[gilded thistle]

You just have to play the game

Its hard at first

[little moat]

Extend market shutdownwith 1.5 week

[gilded thistle]

without at least blues

but you can slowly manage

[little moat]

so nobody has gems for next bp

[gilded thistle]

Hired!

[upbeat fossil]

extend market maintenance so we get more hmb pots

[gilded thistle]

YES

[upbeat fossil]

surely thats whats gona save the game

[honest haven]

please what am I supposed to do with all these hmb pots

[gilded thistle]

I wish i had more pots to be honest

[honest haven]

can I at least sell them on market to whales

[little moat]

I wish I could sell my 187 pots

[gilded thistle]

nop

[little moat]

1k each.

[gilded thistle]

slide logs, i'll farm bbr and hog the loot

[upbeat fossil]

Korea getting challenge mode when we've had that since day one, every login is a challenge to stay online without DC

[honest haven]

cant u farm poh now?

I thought u were giga geared

[gilded thistle]

Oh i am

[hard iris]

if I still cared enough for the game I'd log in and run all my pots on bbr

[little moat]

Chifusa always dies at Mak Sobo

[gilded thistle]

Not sure if Bdx character can do solo poh

[little moat]

urumom

[winged reef]

Last time I checked Chifu’s gear they had 840ap

[little moat]

I can do it on my char, maybe u can't

[winged reef]

It was a while ago

[little moat]

[gilded thistle]

I mean, i never doubted

I was doing it with pierce so no way you cant

[little moat]

I just didn't have too

Duo'ing is just better

[winged reef]

Excuses

[gilded thistle]

Yes me weak

[winged reef]

Sounds like skill issue

[hard iris]

bdx do we have to upgraed all our weapons on vindictus?

[little moat]

Idk bro

Why u asking me

[hard iris]

I think we do

[little moat]

I didnt even know you could change chars

[hard iris]

it's like a global enhancement level

[little moat]

I am just slapping gnolls and eating their legs

[hard iris]

slap them an eat their legs

[gilded thistle]

Most of my gear is doodoo

[winged reef]

I could use some donations

[gilded thistle]

but its not like something good appeared on market either

[little moat]

Go ask ur guild

[winged reef]

No whales in the clan sadly

[little moat]

Plenty of giga geared ppl

[winged reef]

We’re all around the same

[gilded thistle]

Have you chopped any trees yet?

[winged reef]

I don’t like them

[gilded thistle]

Even better

[hard iris]

that NC doesn't care

[twin lark]

Prob the same guy that muted me

Those volunteer mods are the most dangerous mofos to give power to

[wooden rain]

what does it even do

in case any of the people who quit are wondering

yes, the DCs are still constant

we need more quitters

[twin lark]

I did quit, max i do are 3 dailies and gtfo

[wooden rain]

eh that doesn't count

[twin lark]

Don't care about gearing up, don't care about getting more gems

It counts, cause i'm not part of any runs or contributing to "market" sales

[wooden rain]

well then i quit 2 months ago

[grave hawk]

not like theres more to do ingame

[twin lark]

Go play pipistello, that sht good

[wooden rain]

what

[twin lark]

I had more fun doing this than playing NEO for 4 months
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XeQU-x-Z2P8?feature=share

[wooden rain]

i just do whatever without caring much about progress so the only thing that upsets me is the dcs

[grave hawk]

prob has higher playerbase if you subtract the bots from bns

or ppl just leave the game opened even during maint

[twin lark]

This shows, that we can talk sht about LIVE back then when it was still alive, but this new level of stupidity is beyond insanity. A 4 months game struggling to have the bare minimum players

[winged reef]

Lookei became the doomer instead of Storm

[wooden rain]

doom is eternal

[winged reef]

What a turn of events

[wooden rain]

i've always said nc is sh*t and that hasn't changed, i'm consistent

there's just no people praising ncsoft's nonsense now so no need for me to counter

[hard iris]

I don't even do dailies anymore

[hard iris]

I still love game I just don't see a point in playing it anymore. NCsoft majorily fked up and aren't even trying to fix it while spitting in the communities face "here mate take some purple bound random boxes you make get something good (you won't)" and RMTers sit on 1mil dgems bing chilling

like idgaf about rmting etc but the issue is that some have no shame and just clearing the fing market place is a meme, nobody would be able to progress anymore and the game is already low on player and that's just getting worse

you could have 10 ppl get somethign and increase their dmg by a reasonable amount but then u get that one whale wiht the IQ of a molding white bread who buys everything to increase his dps by 1k

[winged reef]

I’m playing as long as there’s people playing and my clan still plays. At least until the Silverfrost patch

Doesn’t take too long to do purples and other dailies

[hard iris]

I don't really do online friends so my only reasoning was the progressing even though it was slow but now it's near impossible to even work towards any thing, I was sitting on 50k dgems but couldn't buy anything as there was nothing

[gilded thistle]

[astral tendon]

i mean, you are bold to assume that the dps can be increased by 1k

[hard iris]

sorry I meant 250

[astral tendon]

Is 0 lol

[hard iris]

[wooden rain]

it does take too long

[winged reef]

I enjoy my build gameplay so it goes by quick

Doesn’t feel great to struggle upgrading gear for higher numbers to beat up another hp dummy though but maybe that changes with future content

[astral tendon]

is probably just different hp dummy, not gonna expect much from the challenge thing

And lab is not just hp dummy but rng within fight is just 💩 to deal with

The tornadoes are pure rng I think

Also added another layer of uncertainty on managing the cc bar cos that long ass nado animation delay the cc bar

[wooden rain]

future content that is clearable like 3 months in the future is nowhere near enough to stay away from training dummy territory

[astral tendon]

and also in a sense is still hp dummy

Rajin doesn’t even move

And fujin you can make him not move if you want to

Guys, I need help. I am in doubt. I have rolled a purple heavenly slasher (HS) book from a random purple chest. I can get a purple selector later from BP, but I am wondering if I should just get another HS book to stack the skill or switch to purple puncture. I don't know how much worse HS build is compared to puncture. I play on steam so switching builds would be almost impossible due to low population.

[grizzled gale]

I'm more into hack and slash tbh, notably Nier automata/dmc. Been wanting to try Code Vein never got the chance to though

i guess that would vary from person to person

[grizzled gale]

I see. Will probably get to it eventually, now that I don't have to login as much to this shthole, or just catch up to my anime honestly

in 6 months the upgraded acc will be outdated

idk what was with him

[twin lark]

What's TFD?

[gilded thistle]

Gooner shooter

The first Descendant

Nice game

if you love grinding

[twin lark]

Nah, NEO will be my last online game

[gilded thistle]

You can play solo

Actually it might be faster to play solo

[twin lark]

lol

[grizzled gale]

Yeah its fun

[gilded thistle]

If you ever join i can help you build up

[grizzled gale]

I got bored and maxed out all my weapon upgrades then dipped lmao

[twin lark]

I'm good, gonna stick to my indie games

[gilded thistle]

I stopped a little after Serena

Built her

did sub 2mins vep30

and dipped

[twin lark]

Got like 10 more years to live or something, you never know, might be here today, gone tomorrow

[gilded thistle]

You'll hit triple digits dont worry

[grizzled gale]

I haven't played that whatever new dung that is supposedly for upgrading weapon stuff(?)

[twin lark]

Yeah, around 10

[gilded thistle]

For the weapon cores

Serena trivilized vep30

Went from 8-10 min clears

to sub 2mins

like 3 mins on sloppy run

Gley was queen of that grind

but lots of time compared to Serena

Crazy

Its a 30stage progression dungeon

That drops materials to add cores to weapons

extra stats

etc

[grizzled gale]

My Gley was built but man I just felt Freyna just does infinitely better than her on anything

[gilded thistle]

Nah

That 30 floor thing

Freyna and Ines couldnt compete after floor 24

They went the bns route after that floor

tons of hp

and some damage

[grizzled gale]

I see. I remember getting Ines, leveled her up halfway and didn't log ever since

[gilded thistle]

I think they nerfed it now but still might be hard for skill based descendants

Ines got nerfed aswell

She's basically a nuke 400% in seconds

Freyna on steroids

But Serena can fly so

Wanted to try it aswell

[grizzled gale]

Yeah but i didnt wanna start from 0

If you have someone to help you why not?

Surely it has some advantage if you have someone take you by the hand and escort you to late game

Thats what I have been told

This is a graphic representation of NC's many attempts to make a game succeed

[slender kelp]

i was gonna say tfd is just warframe for gooners but warframe is also for gooners

[twin lark]

This is for gooners

[winged reef]

Just had a weird bug where my V cd reset super early

[wind timber]

https://tenor.com/view/warframe-ember-heirloom-ember-butt-ass-gif-16901578706285173359

[grizzled gale]

@gilded thistle is this still impressive or have I been powercrept?

[twin lark]

Imagine if lighting rod resets V

[grizzled gale]

had it happen once during bug, never again though

[winged reef]

It was also during buggy for me lol

I guess it’s in the name

[urban bridge]

I quit the game, but I can answer some of the questions you guys might have about the livestream since it looks like I'm getting pinged in here xD

[wind timber]

The goat Haru

[astral tendon]

almost as good as wind bd

with fcking leg hammer sum lol

[wind timber]

[astral tendon]

[winged reef]

We chatGPT translated some of the screens from the KR livestream, but probably will need to wait for the actual patch for more concrete info

[urban bridge]

yeah I briefly saw some of the translated screenshots looking over the chat

For the level up thing they said they are removing level cap so its not just up to 100 its unlimited levels

which means no hm levels like cn for kr just more lvls

but practically the same thing I guess

for the skillbook system, they are adding in the feature to give you a choice during skillbook stacking to allow you to choose different paths on utility skills to give you access to better dps rotations, lightning draw was shown as an example

soul/mystic badge starting from silverfrost will all have the same effect on all skills, there will be no differentiation between different skill soul/mystic badges

Going into silverfrost, twisted lab soul shields are still bis

[teal surge]

So u mean therell be one soulbadge that will upgrade ss dt pierce etc all at once?

[urban bridge]

new world boss will just be added to current world boss cycle, but appear much more than other world bosses

yes

1 soulbadge, 1 mystic badge upgrades all skills

[winged reef]

So same effects for all skills just all stacked on 1? So you’re boosting multiple skills at the same

[teal surge]

Other than it being now less rng it only benefits fire/hybrid only no?

[winged reef]

Lightning benefits a little too

[teal surge]

How

Unless they put ss

[winged reef]

ES/TDS on Soul Badge

[teal surge]

Oh theres es badge aswell

[urban bridge]

I doubt es will be included in there

think their plan is adding all your "main" dmg skills on it

so just your rmbs

for bms

[teal surge]

So ss wont have a badge anymore?

[urban bridge]

yeah probably

nothing concrete obviously

[winged reef]

Gotta wait and see

[urban bridge]

they did say they will talk about the skills more in another livestream

[winged reef]

If it’s all skills in 1 it sounds nice for fire/lightning

[teal surge]

But if they remove ss and es it will hurt fire alot

Imagine playing dt badge xdd

Unless they buff it nicely

[urban bridge]

oh and ken and gen fight will be a easier less mechanic fight, while asura will have its mechanics so I'm assuming ken and gen is dumbed down dps check while asura will have its original fight

I remember something about how the devs don't like hybrid as a build

so

[winged reef]

iirc you only had to kd or they would gain crazy defense

[urban bridge]

I wouldn't be surprised

[winged reef]

Puncture needs a nerf not Hybrid xd

[wild monolith]

na, never nerf, only buffs for bm please

[urban bridge]

but other than that I don't think there is anything else that chatgpt translation would have missed

gear system stuff is pretty transparent

+1-10 on new gear

+10 purple gear > use ascent stones to upgrade to legendary > +1 > +10 legendary

[winged reef]

Nothing else on the challenge mode? Interested in that

Other than that gotta wait for the skillbook livestream

[urban bridge]

challenge mode is just like hmm

a newbie help system

idk if you played lost ark

but they have a similar system there

called mokoko buff

its not like a new mode

just a buff to newer players with less gear = more rewards

[winged reef]

Ah so nothing special then I guess

[urban bridge]

yeah pretty much

oh and they are adding

bns neo reboot

server

xD

[slender kelp]

i called bns neo neo

[urban bridge]

no divine gems in that server

just gold trading mp

[slender kelp]

not much of a difference if the rest is the same

[urban bridge]

when you make a character you choose what build you want

and you only get that build's skillbooks

[slender kelp]

wtf that's somehow worse than what we have

[urban bridge]

starts at lvl 45, fieldboss/dungeons drops gold

starts from blue books

[slender kelp]

xD? this feels like a quirky gamemode

[urban bridge]

its supposed to be like a completely f2p experience lol

idk how well it will do

[slender kelp]

i dont trust this company to not do p2w on anything

[bitter marsh]

they really have no clue what to do with their IP

[slender kelp]

if you can buy gold with real money it's gonna be the same

[urban bridge]

they mentioned there will be no irl currency > in game currency transactions in that server

so they don't gain money for that server through marketplace

rmt will thrive on it though

[slender kelp]

they could monetize just skins and cosmetics

like most normal games

[urban bridge]

right thats their only source of money in that server

skins/cosmetics

[slender kelp]

could be interesting, if it really turns out like they're saying

[urban bridge]

unless they also allow that to be purchased with gold

since no divine gems

[winged reef]

How about making 1 good server instead of multiple dead ones

[urban bridge]

tbh

I think most of ncsoft

more focused

on delivering aion 2

than keeping bns servers up lol

[slender kelp]

let me guess, it's a mobile game

[urban bridge]

no aion was a pretty popular mmo

[slender kelp]

yeah aion was my first mmo

but i just assume a sequel will be a mobile game these days

[urban bridge]

ah yeah its just an mmo

[slender kelp]

wasnt bns 2 also a mobile game or something

[urban bridge]

built on unreal 5

bns 2 was a mobile yeah

[lethal dew]

I ping u to comeback

[urban bridge]

no comback

I quit

[lethal dew]

[winged reef]

Epic come back with Silverfrost

[slender kelp]

i actually full uninstalled today, needed disk space for lies of p to play the dlc

i wont be getting my 21 days of rewards, true tragedy

[urban bridge]

eh idk if I will for silverfrost

[slender kelp]

neo global has been legit disaster after disaster

constant ddos now this marketplace stuff xd

dunno if it makes it to silverfrost patch

[lethal dew]

@urban bridge think about the time you spent spamming bsh2 and how fun it was

Come back

[urban bridge]

I've moved on kelly xD

bns is dead to me

[lethal dew]

[winged reef]

At least you quit as a Lightning BM

A true hero

[lethal dew]

True

Time to reroll

[grizzled gale]

surely theres gonna be cheap salvagable ones when market opens

[teal surge]

isnt that the best u can get?

[grizzled gale]

for now yes, but after ap buff its infernal i believe

[woeful venture]

so close, yet so far

[rain nimbus]

Closed market for a week on a dead AF extreme p2w game

🤡

[grizzled gale]

I don't mind p2w games when gearing up is grindable

[gilded thistle]

This is beautiful , now you have to core up the ones you use

[grizzled gale]

I'm gonna assume that takes a while too. I remember seeing something related to it when it just came out and was like f it xdd

[gilded thistle]

You basically have to grind void erosion purpge. Don't bother with spamming anything other than floor 30

Also gz on the core

[grizzled gale]

ay bet. I logged in earlier for a bit, wanted to farm Serena parts but the area was closed cuz I'm not up to date with the main story but I'll probably get to it later

[grizzled gale]

ty

[gilded thistle]

Yeah. The new zone will unlock you Arche tuning

Like paragon boards in diablo

[sage tulip]

What are you playing instead or planning to?

[gilded thistle]

Nice free ish boost

LOOOOL surprise!!

Omg meow chifusa <3~ :3

[little moat]

[gilded thistle]

[little moat]

[urban bridge]

I've just been playing crystal of atlan lately lol, probably will try out chrono odyssey when that comes out

[sage tulip]

[hard iris]

All of it is useable, some is better than other but that barely matters, Serena can make almost all of it work Serena is broken af

[gilded thistle]

Indeed she is

I was using cavalry

[hard iris]

I quit becuase of her kinda makes the pointless

ofc one could say "nobody forces to play her just play a different character" which is true but you know

[twin lark]

Isn't it weird that NEO is the only game being DDoSED? i'm on a few mmos servers and no DDoSING on those 🤔

[hard iris]

why spend 1 minute to fight a boss when it can take 10 seconds

[hard iris]

it's not a ddos they just have bad server

[gilded thistle]

She made helping lower geared people a lot easier

I took a full party through the whole vep

One through thirty

[hard iris]

nobody in their right mind would ddos a game like bns neo for over 3 months

[hard iris]

[twin lark]

Must be this one

[hard iris]

I know private server that have better ddos protection and they were ddost by officials BNS Neo is not experiencing a DDOS is just extremely poor and bad server

[twin lark]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-typing-typing-aggressive-typing-macbook-gif-1820693085529853027

[gilded thistle]

[hard iris]

the moment you realise that there are minecraft server with 10k people that have better ddos protections and server you just know in which state bns neo is

[twin lark]

That's a fact

[hard iris]

like sure, one could argue that one of the nodes between you and the game server is being affected but if even minecraft server manage to fix it or even private server

[little moat]

LOL IMAGINE TALKING ABOUT BNS

[gilded thistle]

[hard iris]

true true

today stellar blade released

[twin lark]

Say what?

[hard iris]

and nikke got a update

[little moat]

Who is that?

[twin lark]

Not me for sure

[hard iris]

[little moat]

Rip money

[hard iris]

better spend there than in neo

[gilded thistle]

That's on PC?

[hard iris]

released today on pc

[gilded thistle]

[hard iris]

goated game

[little moat]

There is only one goated game.

[hard iris]

I hope pc cmmunity will do mods beyond coomer mods 😭

[hard iris]

if you say bns neo I'll piss on you

[gilded thistle]

Surely

[hard iris]

[little moat]

If u haven't played goat sim yet, go play it

It's hilarious and super fun

[upbeat fossil]

do we get DC'd and mocked by the devs? idk if i can go back to any games that dont make you feel like crap

[wooden rain]

Sounds like you need some slavjank

[sage tulip]

So who got the bans yet

[hard iris]

nobody

they aren't banning anyone

[gilded thistle]

I did

lmao

[hard iris]

cap

[little moat]

Bramblex and Chifusa

[hard iris]

ain't no way they are actually banning people 😂

[gilded thistle]

Fun fact, i didn't buy any gems specifically cause the low price was sus

didn't matter anyway

[hard iris]

then they actually banned u for no reason?

[gilded thistle]

[hard iris]

NCsoft at it's peak

[gilded thistle]

I submitted a ticket but my expectations are 0

[wind timber]

Wait wha

No way

[gilded thistle]

I'll miss yall

[wind timber]

Cuz of the puncture buying?

Xd

[gilded thistle]

Maybe, cause it was a lot of gems

[wind timber]

Yeah but wtf

[gilded thistle]

"Chargeback"

[hard iris]

wonder if u get the same response as my wife.

Story Time

My wife last played live in like in 2019 or 2020 and then quit playing the game, when we started playing neo she noticed she was banned and when we tried reaching out to the support they said the got banned for malicious activity - she never received an e-mail for getting her account compromised or banned - when we asked for more details they just kept insisting that she was part of a malicious activity but again never relased any type of mail, the most recent e-mail she had from live was from this year when she forgot her password and tried changing it and support refused to help or name the actual reason of the ban

[gilded thistle]

Last time i bought ncoin was 5€ which they yoinked and never delivered the coins btw

from f10

I didn't even bother contacting them

[wind timber]

The more you tell the more wtf i become

[gilded thistle]

ikr

i just cba dealing with people that can't do their job

[hard iris]

can't blame you, outsourced support somewhere in india that use google translate

[wind timber]

Bro

This game is actually beyond being cooked

It's like didn't even hit a pan

[hard iris]

It's overcooked chicken with rice

[wind timber]

Flew straight to the 🗑

[little moat]

Tbf U bought them right before the price crash

But the dupe was alrrdy happening

[gilded thistle]

maaaaaaaaaan

[hard iris]

ncsoft is just beyong incopetent it's crazy

[winged reef]

Try to appeal

[gilded thistle]

I did

waiting for a reply

[winged reef]

Maybe it was their auto detection that messed up

[gilded thistle]

If they unban me i'll log, get rid of my stuff and uninstall

[wind timber]

Based

[hard iris]

can't get rid if market don't work

[gilded thistle]

Yes i can

salvage

[hard iris]

OOF

[wind timber]

[winged reef]

Sell it to me for 50 gems maybe I’ll reroll to Puncture

[astral tendon]

I’m also banned, surprised chifusa was banned lol

[wind timber]

Atp like half of the ladder would be banned

[hard iris]

pretty sure they are just randomly banning people

without real thought process

[violet elm]

permanently as well?

[astral tendon]

Yep

[hard iris]

NCsoft loves to do these, banwaves and just ban everyone

[violet elm]

.... i feel sorry for you guys and for the communtiy we hav ehere

[hard iris]

reminds me of aion classic release where halve the server got banned

[gilded thistle]

All those people i was running around carrying will definitely miss me

[violet elm]

pulling 1/46 into permaban is a hero's death ngl

[astral tendon]

Thanks for nc to force me to quit

[hard iris]

Nana actually living through anime arc rn

[lethal prairie]

its probably everyone that bought since steam release

ggs

[hard iris]

Nana what was your reason of ban though?

also Chrageback?

[winged reef]

Gonna assume it’s their auto ban algorithm

[violet elm]

but the team is working 24/7 behind the scenes, they are investigating..

[little moat]

Dw, Cookie will grope you back in

[gilded thistle]

Well

We do have Starlights stuff

I could literally buy 10 more punctures

but no

If they don't get bonked

[winged reef]

If enough people get banned I can get #1 on the world boss

[astral tendon]

Y charge back

[hard iris]

So I'd assume

they are bannign everyone that bought ncoins

[hard iris]

with the assumption they charge backed

that's classic ncsoft

[little moat]

Buy my BM and rebuild

[gilded thistle]

nah

They can ligma

[little moat]

If 3 more ppl get banned i'm nr 1

[hard iris]

is this the offical death of the game

[little moat]

(if i ever log in)

[winged reef]

They saw the loot you were getting from Lab and had pity on you

[astral tendon]

I’m still the only one with soul shield

Drop

[gilded thistle]

pog

[astral tendon]

So I can understand that

[hard iris]

that's actualyl hilarious so I'm just gonna assume they banned people for actually topping up but didn'T ban any rmter

[little moat]

Nanaya u banned ?

[astral tendon]

Yep

[little moat]

yeet

[upbeat fossil]

top 10 list is gona be interesting on world bosses, wonder how many familiar names are gona stay there

[astral tendon]

None probably

[hard iris]

Cinderlands is now gonna take 30min to kill WB

[gilded thistle]

Dunno about the rest of the top10

[little moat]

Imagine if I Log in, Ebo Osore also banned

Nr1 here I come

Oh and Casual Player cuz fick he is whale

[astral tendon]

I know a few from cinderland is banned

Tho not bm in particular

[upbeat fossil]

is rico still free

[winged reef]

I hope my best buddy Emraell isn’t banned

[lethal prairie]

when did you guys get the email for the ban?

[gilded thistle]

Like 5 hours ago

[violet elm]

game kicked me out, is it a dc? is it a ban?

[hard iris]

Bye Hurrikane

hope u had fun

[violet elm]

was fun guys!

[gilded thistle]

Flip a coin, like they do

[upbeat fossil]

damn, no email here yet... did i dodge?

[astral tendon]

same

[hard iris]

they only ban whales

rmter are save

[sage tulip]

Everyone that bought over 100k or so in past few days, most likely automatically flagged

[upbeat fossil]

they go in tiers...
Belugas > killer whales > dolphins > mackarel

[gilded thistle]

Welp at least i got some nice screenshots to remember the adventures and people i met

[hard iris]

I swear ncsoft

[sage tulip]

But since the reason is chargeback it's most likely not intended ban

[winged reef]

I’ll remember you spinning those wheels on Kaari, good times

[sage tulip]

Who knows tho

[little moat]

@nova lotus You still alive?

[sage tulip]

Probably half the moonwater server is banned then

[hard iris]

so glad I'm done with this game, I was only staying to see what they say regarding the steam incident and now I wannas ee what they do when they re-open market

I just have to witness this

[sage tulip]

Ebo should be fine unless he swiped recently

[hard iris]

even Nikke has been keeping mor emore engaged

[sage tulip]

Future of the game also looks pretty bad so it's whatever

[simple jacinth]

Vindictus

[hard iris]

yea it's going on live support

[simple jacinth]

Is amazing

[hard iris]

Vindictus > bns neo

[sage tulip]

What genre is that game

[hard iris]

my only nitpick about vindictus is there's no real parries

[sage tulip]

Mmo also?

[simple jacinth]

Not mmo like neo

[hard iris]

uhh it's more a dungeon crawler type grinder with co-op elements

[simple jacinth]

But yeah you can party up for stuff

[sage tulip]

Oh I see

[wooden rain]

Now i am clueless here but aren't the bans technically correct apart from the reason stated being wrong
They did buy gems from 3rd party sites, it just didn't get them banned previously

[hard iris]

imagine dark souls

but you have a hub from where u can go to each of the bigger areas

and fight bosses

[sage tulip]

Yeah I seen some gameplay, just wasn't sure if it's mmo or not

[upbeat fossil]

been playing night reign recently, wish it just had more classes and maps. otherwise pretty fun but gets repetetive

[hard iris]

I'm in the 2nd area so far and I saw 2 people running around my hub randomly

but it's alpha so I wouldn't be surprised if it just has little amount of player (I could just check steamdb)

[gilded thistle]

I wonder if my old clan from the first game is going to play it

[hard iris]

wonder why it's negative

[coarse sun]

noo chifusa banned? my pierce inspiration

[little moat]

Fps stutters on crap PC's

[hard iris]

oh classic

[little moat]

Its super smooth on mine

But its Alpha

and ppl are dumb

[hard iris]

same and I consider my pc shiet for todays standard

game literally runs better than neo for me

while looking better I should add

[little moat]

The sound quality is movie tier good

That's what I like most about it so far

Combat feels powerfull and sound is cleannnn

[lethal prairie]

nikke lowkey goated game

[hard iris]

I have a nitpick about the combat though, while all of it feels great, it feels very unsatifying when you dodge or block outside of their QTE. Most dissapointing part is the Block/Parry though basically non existend unless you play Delia where you can press Tab and do a "parry" but the CD on it is kinda dumb

[hard iris]

it's got stella blade event

[lethal prairie]

I know

[little moat]

Dual blade guy doesnt even have a block

I'm not a 100% sure but what happens if u press Q? Haven't played him yet but on Fiona you had to specc the block

[astral tendon]

Funny enough I quit Nikke for this game

[hard iris]

gotta play stellar blade to use the costume code for rapi

[hard iris]

Nikki of Nikke? Because Nikki is a dress up game

[lethal prairie]

nikki

[hard iris]

fing saya LMAO

but then again

I use Momo as pfp

[astral tendon]

Quit cos champions arena or something

[lethal prairie]

I'm in desperate need of help

[astral tendon]

I can’t whale ppl anymore in PvP

[hard iris]

Nikke I can respect but wuwa

[astral tendon]

Cba after that

[hard iris]

my wife dropped Nikki cuz of the monetization

[lethal prairie]

champ arena seems so sweaty, so hard to judge who will win

[astral tendon]

Yeah if I can’t over level other ppl by 100+ lv and win I won’t bother

[hard iris]

what's with her hand man that angle looks so weird

[lethal prairie]

lmao what lvl were you before you quit?

I'm 551 atm

play since release only swiped in the beginning

[little moat]

wtf saya so old

u old fart

[astral tendon]

I played from the red hood release

[nova lotus]

ofc, why would anything happen to me

[astral tendon]

I’m at like 540? I quit few months ago

[wooden rain]

The kind of guy that checks out what cheats a game has before launching it for the first time

[astral tendon]

Last 3 days of red hood banner I think

[little moat]

idk maybe u stubbed your toe
