#Suggestion to Improve the New Player Experience in Blade & Soul NEO

Dear Blade & Soul NEO Team,

I’d like to suggest a system to help new players who are starting the game now. Currently, progressing in Blade & Soul NEO from zero is extremely hard. Most content below level 50 is empty, and new players can't join parties because the community requires 700+ AP, something impossible to reach without help. Without support, new players leave the game early, as happened in Blade & Soul Live.

To avoid this problem in NEO, I recommend creating a daily login reward system for new accounts, or a starter support pack, giving essential items to help them play the game and catch up. My suggestion includes:

Full Profane Soul Shield set.

Full Siren gear set, pre-upgraded.

Random green and blue Skill Books, to unlock essential class abilities.

A basic Soul Badge and Mystic Badge, for class mechanics.

A Soul Core, to increase AP for dungeons.

Basic PvE Insignias, for survivability and damage.

These items won’t make them endgame-ready, but will help them reach level 50+ and participate in the story and dungeons without feeling stuck. It is very important to keep the early game active and friendly for new players, ensuring the community keeps growing.

Blade & Soul NEO has great potential, but for it to survive, we must support and welcome new players consistently. Please, don't let the same mistakes from BnS Live happen again.

Thank you for your attention and for your hard work.

Sincerely,
[Shadowh]

Can you define "Full Siren gear set, pre-upgraded." further ? Because that sounds quite excessive for a newbie starter kit.

Otherwise a full profane set, desert badges, a random green soul core, full grey non-special AP/HP insignias and 1-2 blue selectors should be the baseline, agreed.

A basic kit for the new player to start with is already great

Or just give old players an incentive to run stuff with new players. Like i dont know first 10 runs you get % increase on rare items.

The steam new player event should just be extended indefinitely

They should make all content below level 55 be solo with just the level up stats , so if your level 45 you can solo all blues , if your level 50 you can solo BBR , POH , Chef, if your level 55 you can solo BSH 1-2 , and if your level 60 you can solo the other 3

All they would have to do is add a starter pack at the last main story quests that brings new players to 5370 gear score (or whatever the min one is for chuanka), so they are not kicked from parties. Idc if this starter set gives no dps; gear score is the only thing that matters as people get less loot if they accept someone below 5370. Currently the story drops u off at ~4k gear score. 🙁

#

If they are afraid of ruining the economy with this, they could just simply create a new tag like Blessed in the name that makes it impossible to upgrade further, but have fixed stats so every newbie would have a base set they can actually rely on before they can start upgrading the blue accessories they farmed

Actually it is not even 4k 😅

Well I would suggest that just throw out another event like “Carry me if you can” so that high supreme force players can make golds and for new low-force players can get better gears
Because upgrading gear already costs somewhere around 100 golds per gear so that will sure attract a lot of selfish whales to carry newbies
Plus that event was how I got stronger back before silverfrost patch
If u ask them to reset the whole dungeon system, thats gonna be a lot for them. I dont need a maintenance that is 8 hours long
