1st for assassin > all
Never got question answered. Friend keeps crashing after character select. No error code, nothing. They got past the 4049 for this bullshit. What do, /bnsg?
>>128676205
>>128676313
I'm going to Cho's. But I'm gonna play on the 19th
I want to sniff a Lyn's dirty butthole.

Well fuck you too.
Any fixes for this shit or am I going to have to hope it doesn't happen again?
Servers are fucked.
People that are willing to spend $75-$125 but arent willing to buy premium edition

THANKS FOR THE TESTING YOU IDIOTS! SEE YOU IN 3 DAYS WITH BETTER SERVERS!
>he actually bought a founder's pack
everyone point and laugh
>>128676205
Sounds like a plan, m8
I'll join you there monday night because I didn't pay or get gifted a free masterspack
>>128676686
They'll be worse at that point, not sure what you're thinking.
1100 premium members for some people, i've been waiting for 23 premium members for like 1½ hour.
Enjoy 1100 ones.
loving every laff
For all interested, I'll be making a clan on Jiwan, blue side.
Why are people trading these sealed stalker weapons in chat? Isn't hongmoon one the best?
founders dobok is fucking sexy!!!!!!!!
whole game is fucking sweet desu
finally a game i can call home
>>128676819
To evolve Hongmoon
>>128676819
You need the stalker weapon to get the hongmoon weapon beyond stage 5.
>>128676801
>actually going to the official BR server
fuck that
I'll never get tired of MMO launches.
What server did Europe players pick?
>tfw 40fps in open areas
Why is this game so terribly optimized? My 7970 should be able to wreck this game.
>1123 in queue
>1198 in queue
>1245 in queue
WHY ARE THE NUMBERS GOING UP
founders outfit on mah gon waifu
>>128676958
>AMD
>wrecking anything besides your fps
>>128676958
Because Blade & Soul doesn't give a shit about your GPU. You could get 60fps with a 7850. It's all about your processor
>>128676871
>>128676873
Fuck. I got a box my first try, and got the weapon i needed, got another one from the quest, but I fed both of them to upgrade my weapon to breakthrough point. Now I'm just getting soul shields
>>128676563
Some cut scenes bugged out in beta you should know better
PSO2 > BnS
Time to get a refund.
>>128677220
Literally never had this issue, and I was in all betas.
I got to like 40 or 41 too.
>>128677090
your gon waifu is a fucking abomination
>tfw watch twitch instead
SIIIIIIGGGHHHHHHH
How do you make the speech bubbles bigger?
So did anyone make anything OTHER than a lyn or a max height + max breast size Gon woman?
>>128676958
Kek.. I'm at 120 frames and max ingame settings..
Stil need to test some more though.
120vs120 battlegrounds when?
>>128677539
what the fuck are those proportions
welp look like the f2p crybabies and cancerfags are here time to go enjoy the game
>>128674014
NOW ITS GIVING ME AN ERROR
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ASIAN GAME LAUNCERS
>>128677539
Her upper and bottom halves look like they belong to two separate people.
>>128677513
I made a nigger jin kid.
>>128677778
launch it from the shortcut it makes on your desktop, not the launcher. If you didn't let it make the shortcut I think you can make your own and it'll work.
2 hours later.
>>128677746
>time to enjoy the game
more like, time to the enjoy the queue
>>128677884
I know right? Never gonna be able to play the fucking game.
>>128677672
>>128677796
Maybe pose / costume related
80 fps inside town with numerous players.
I have a poor budget pc though, GTX 970
I don't get it why don't you guys just play on a different server? Most of the end game content is going to be cross server instanced.
>>128678026
Nope, still looks wonky. Also,
>GTX 970
>poor budget pc
>>128677884
>>128678020
It'll only get worse from here on. Don't count on playing tonight
>>128678069
There's a lot of world based content that will be impossible on dead servers. Not difficult, impossible
>>128678069
To avoid having to transfer to another server when smaller servers die, obviously.
Let's face it, as annoying as this shit is, it's just a headstart/launch problem and will go away in a month or so.
fuck
THIS HEAD START IS GREAT
Cerulean Order seem to be haunting new Crimson legion players because it was full.
Invite me to EU clan you colossal faggots.
>strajk
>>128678256
>There's a lot of world based content
Like afking in mushin tower?
>>128678398
This is what happens when everybody goes one faction.
You get the good and the bad and then there's imbalance and shit.
so is this game any good?
thinking of maybe buying access cause it has classes that punch niggers
>>128678642
No, we paid to get into the game and are mad about queues because it's a pile of shit.
is this one char use only?
We should probably decide on a tertiary /bnsg/ server so we at least have more options outside of waiting for 1300+ premium members to log in before you
>dead game
>dead thread
>>128678319
>To avoid having to transfer to another server when smaller servers die, obviously.
Or, the more likely alternative which is merging the lower pop servers together.
>>128678609
Nigga we don't even have tower on launch. Talking about those pvp hubs/bosses
>>128678787
Should have rolled on a diff server. Mushin is the only one that has the queue time.
>>128677869
Still has an error, I reinstalled everything and made sure to have desktop icons but nothings working
>>128677983
>being poor
shit man i live off autismbux and still bought a master pack

>>128679104
Trying to log back in because I black-screened again
>>128678997
Did you put the NCWest folder in the right place? It should be in the same folder that NCSoft is in, not in NCSoft or vice versa. e.g. both of mine are in C:\Program Files x86\
>>128679040
That's because you're an idiot
Whats the deal with the stalker weapon?
Should I bother with it?
>>128678985
What's the 3rd or 4th most popular server?
Also, can items be mailed between characters on separate servers if they're in the same region? I'd rather not lose my premium stuff if I want to choose another server
>In queue because cutscene crash
Time for work.
>>128679308
Upgrade material.
Get your wep to max, then use stuff like stalker weps to go beyond.
>Queue.
What the FUCK are these proportions, holy shit
>>128679310
Why not just go to Jiwan and try things out there before you start out for real on Mushin?
Or you can just stay on Jiwan and be okay with RPers and whatever the fuck like I am.It's Evindra all over again, am I right?
>>128678896
please answer
>>128679248
Yea mine are in the same place, what is the actual application that starts the game
Looking for cute lyn femboy clothes but not finding many
>>128679647
Yes.
Official forums are fucked now, just like the servers.
>>128677124
Thanks for the info. Runs better after reverting my underclock.
>>128679658
Just wait until they add the cross-dressing outfits
>>128679771
Why
>>128679786
>>128680012
Why what.
So, you can't play this game unless you have premium.
holy shit the combat is soooo smooooth its like 4x better than taiwan
>>128679658
>lyn femboy
Is this what everyone is doing?
Faggots, the lot of you.
/ss/ or bust tbqh familia
>>128679582
I don't care for or mind RP, I just dislike people clogging up a chat with a language I don't understand.
I speak a bit of Spanish, but it's not one of the languages I'm fluent in. Seeing as I live in the US now, and made an effort to learn English, I'd much rather play on a server with others that also speak English proficiently
>>128680186
Well, it's in headstart right now so you wouldn't be able to play without being premium regardless of circumstances afaik.
Anyone know what's the second most populated server?
You literally cant play this game without buying premium
jesus fucking christ
>>128680403
BRs don't even speak proper spanish. They speak some kind of bastardized jungle portugese.
>>128680517
Jiwan. but thats the RP and BR server.
poorfags should not be playing on mushin anyways
go to old man choo
>>128680541
Master Hong server seems like it'd be popular.
Anyone have any estimates on its population size ranking?
>>128680435
nah, they decided to jew out on initiate packs and not give us premium like every other freemium game has done
>>128680537
>spreading lies.
>>128680435
Initiate packs don't get premium.
>>128680849
>lies
You cant get into the server, how is it a lie?
>>128681005
go to old man cho if your a f2pfag no que
>>128681005
>you can't get in
You can if you weren't a fucking jew and expected to get all the benefits for free.
>>128680541
This.
It makes me cringe every time I hear it.
Couple that with their shitty accent, slang and their need to transcribe that shit to text and you get pure unfiltered cancer that even Portuguese struggle to understand at times.
So whats the best server to join that doesnt have shitty queue times?
>>128679245
if you aren't premium yourself you won't get back into mushin till maybe 3am if you're lucky. Either buy premium or get a refund.
>>128681159
>>128681305
It's been posted like 10 times.
Old Man Cho for f2p.
>>128680835
Look at the google docs at leddit.
>>128681338
I just got inObv. premium since I have the silly cowboi outfit
>buying an initiate pack is f2p
o im laffing

You could join the less popular servers, faggot.
>>128681247
>free
I payed 25 bucks for this shit I expect to be able to play with my friends for the 3 days i bought. I don't care if you spent 3x or 5x as much you shouldn't get 1000x as much playtime in those 3 days.
>>128681685
>have a premium queue
just how fucking greedy can one company get
>>128681247
yeah well, try having bills to pay you little cock sucker
then you might just experience the indignation of having to pay EXTRA just to log in
i swear, Day 1 dlcs, premiums just to hide your helmet, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU FUCKING FAGGOT GOYIM TAINTLICKERS
lol this is crybaby central i though this was reddit for a second
Anyone running this on a low end pc (fx6300 & HD7770)? How does it look?
Is there a tolerable streamer I can watch until f2p? Huge rack is a plus.
>>128680835
Nevermind, I unleashed some Google-fu myself and found the server population and class population stats:

The class-selection numbers don't have a per-server breakdown unfortunately, but at least we have a ballpark.
I guess I'll go play on Poharan server?
ITT: Goyims calling Initiate pack owners jews.
The true jew is the company, but keep being a good goy.
>>128681762
plenty of games have premium queues
plenty of games also pack in a month of premium with your initial purchase, regardless of the cost, and especially for an old game with comparatively poor market prospects, but i can see ncsoft is too hook-nosed to anything of that sort
>>128681469
Oh, didn't see this until after I posted the list.
That's where I ended up finding it actually. Thanks anon!

>>128681898
>class measurements for EU
>DESTROYER has lowest amount
But why
Any updates on the server population spread? Trying to make a final decision on what server I wanna play on.
>>128682685
Destroyers are lowest in both NA and EU actually.
IDK why, they're certainly one of my favorite classes
>>128682685
Destroyer is lowest for NA too.
>>128681762
I think the only wrong part is the shitty pack not having at least VIP fora week or the duration of the headstart
it's going to suck major ass if you basically paid $25 to play this3 days and you can't even login because you lack premium, and adding $15 just to login means you'd be spending $40, that's a bit too much for 3 days of headstart.
>Throw some freedom papers at premium.
>Queue time gets cut drastically.
>>128682628
i love it when faggots do this
as if anyone believes you or gives a flying rat's ass
go kill yourself
If this premium shit keeps on tomorrow just ask customer service for a refund
>>128682851
>>128682853
This is horrible. Destroyer looks like one of the most fun classes. Then again, I'm also biased towards big buff classes that do piledrivers on bosses.
>>128683069
I already got mine.
Time to clean stuff up.
>>128683104
I honestly think it's because of the "lol destroyer is a newb class" mentality people have. Whateva, I'm gonna be a giant slamming bosses around.
>>128683154
How'd you go about it? Ask the customer service or called your bank?
>>128683000
How much lower we talkin here?
>>128683104
>This is horrible.
WRONG; This is great!
You're now in higher demand while getting to play your favorite class. Also, more people will be unfamiliar with Destroyer skill-sets, so you can't surprise more people in PvP with non-standard builds
Summoner question: can the cat act while the summoner is disabled?
I noticed some cat moves also play an animation of the summoner ordering it. That has me worried that the cat isn't an independent character.
Pay2Win confirmed.
>there are people that paid 120$ to sit in queue for HOURS
>paying for 'head start'
>paying for 'name reservation'
>paying for wardrobe
You didn't do this did you anon?
>inb4 poorfag meme
who rank 10 here???
>>128683289
I called my credit card company and since I have better credit than 90% of people in NA they ask no questions for me wanting a chargeback for this scam.
Is using only a single stance viable, at least to PvE?
Thinking of Draw Stancing permanently.
Not even edge.
The idea of defeating the opposition by unsheathing the sword blindingly fast and dodging and countering the same way make my dick diamonds.
Basically I wanna play like this smug motherfucker.
>>128683414
>>128683423
they will come up with literally ANY excuse to justify their purchase
>>128683556
Look at the weeaboo and laugh.
>>128683293
I paid 15 dollary doos to get a 25% queue wait time reduction.
I wonder if I stack on premium days if it will bump me up further :^).
>>128683758
wow that is brilliant! how do they even come up with these genius business models

>Calling people weeaboo

Nice try senpai.
Everybody knows Assassin is the go to class for that.
>>128683963
blade dancer and summoner are on their own tier, no classes can compete with them. Between LBM and sum I'm not sure who wins.
Go to Mushin, they said. It'll be fine, they said.
>>128683883
F2P games have to create a revenue stream somehow.
>>128683658
its called not going to the most populated server... holy shit it takes 2 seconds to make a new character
>>128683758
Probably not. The queue will be mostly gone past 1am tonight though the benefits from that premium bullshit are actually pretty useful. Mainly the gold generating ones and the wardrobe
>>128681898
Source?
Is there any way to sit or anything? I love sitting when AFKing in MMOs. Seems like there aren't any social actions in this game.
>>128684265
>holy shit it takes 2 seconds to make a new character
6 minutes and 2 seconds if you want to re-use the name.
>>128682851
it's because nobody normal wants to jack off to big bootied niggers
How did my que time go up...
Whats even the difference between all the melee classes
And whats the L in LBM
>>128684337
The last part of my post was a joke, baby boy.
>>128684423
iirc F12 is the emote menu a couple quests make you use them
>>128684586
Lynn Blade Master.
In korealand they are not blade dancers.
>>128684226
No one said it would be fine and you set yourself up for this.
and tomorrow again there will be a queue, and the day after that. And then there will be the biggest queue of them all.
Remember, you pay once for the privilege to own the game and then once to play it.
god bless america

Yeah, don't forget to get cancer so you can enjoy paying insurance deductibles, shit stain
there is absolutely no defense you have against contributing to this new wave of triple dipping in entertainment, you are directly the cause of everything that is wrong with online gaming nowadays and that's why we hate you. that you clearly don't understand the value of a dollar is irrelevant. gaming is the way it is now because of you cunts.

I'd believe it.
I also forsee a LOT of regret in the future, seeing as Nexon has it's filthy Korean-jew claws deeply and thoroughly embedded in NCsoft now.
At most, this game will remain a decent dress-up simulator with some game-play sprinkled on top for the downtime between fapping sessions.
>>128685157
Is that what it says on the EU servers? Bow down to our superior number system pleb.
