Support NeoGAF

So, we have until the top of the hour right?

Quoting myself for the new page:

Before the hell breaks loose, here a small tip from me that might be handy for people with dynamic IP addresses. It's actually possible to bypass the NCSoft Launcher login and start the game directly. You then can login in-game without the annoying email verification.

To do this go into the "bin" folder inside your Blade & Soul installation directory and make a new text-file with any name and with these contents:

For connecting to EU servers:

start client.exe /launchbylauncher /sesskey /CompanyID: "12" /ChannelGroupIndex: "-1" /LoginMode 2 -lang:English -region:1

For connecting to US servers:

start client.exe /launchbylauncher /sesskey /CompanyID: "12" /ChannelGroupIndex: "-1" /LoginMode 2 -lang:English -region:0

and rename the extension of the text-file from .txt to .bat

Now simply double-click the file and the game will be started without the launcher taking you directly to the ingame login-screen.

Keep in mind though that you also bypass the updating step this way so you won't be able to connect when a new update was released, I would say launch via the actual launcher every 5-7 days to make sure you catch the updates.

Also I haven't tried this myself yet but I think you should be able to replace "English" with "German" or "French" to set the language aswell.

So, we have until the top of the hour right?

Yeah

I'm interested in playing this game so I'll probably check it out soon. What is the pay model like?

I hear that after the head start the game is free to play. Is it pay to progress or pay to win? Or is the real money stuff just cosmetic?

 

[pillowtalk]

the real money stuff just cosmetic

Yep. That's the answer to all your questions.

 

[keffri]

Yep. That's the answer to all your questions.

Good to hear. Will definitely check it out later today probably.

 

[Sorian]

No queue, got right in

 

[unluckyhat]

Wow the daily dash got an overhaul from what I remember in beta.

 

[diablos991]

What is the USgaf server?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

And I'm stuck on the title-screen after entering my PIN

 

[Hubb]

Mushin

 

[dragn]

and ofc eu not working

 

[diablos991]

Estimated wait time 10 minutes.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

How do I get my Founder's Pack applied? I looked all over the account screen and couldn't find anything, nor was there any serial number or anything like that in my e-mail.

I got an email saying:

"Closed Beta Access and Head Start Access have been granted to your account. You will have access to all remaining Closed Beta weekends (schedule below) and the Head Start period when they go live."


I still have to wait for it to download. I'm thinking about making a Blade Dancer, but I know nothing about the game so I might change my mind later.

NCsoft site > My account > Settings > Apply a code > Unused Codes > Blade and Soul > Should see an apply button there.

 

[Yushi]

if you arent in the NA server already, best of luck.

 

[StudioTan]

Made 2 characters, Bahn and Trink. Wanted Trinket but it was taken, Trink is fine.

 

[RellyRell28]

I won't be on till sometime after 9

 

[TomcatTheLion]

I was almost sold on KFM, then watched the assassin video. The thought of my friend and I rolling around as dual assassins, seemed very appealing (from a PvP perspective).

It's not really talked about much, but KFM and BM are actually tanks in group play. So, something to keep in mind.

I'm OK with being tankish. May go with Gon/KFM or Gon/Destroyer, Jin/Assassin and Yun/BM. Still have a few hours to mull over it.

Estimated wait time 10 minutes.

10 minutes? That's nothing lol.

 

[Kintaro]

Wooo! Made a Jin named Darsh. =)

 

[diablos991]

anybody have an updated link for discord?
The one in the OT is expired.

 

[RellyRell28]

You probably already joined. It should be on your discord list

 

[diablos991]

You probably already joined. It should be on your discord list

Never tried clicking the link until today.
Only a couple R6S groups on the list for me.

 

[Kyne]

So Mushin is the GAF / main NA server.. and queue times have already started?

Second most populated server is Jiwan, which is (from what I heard) the unofficial Brazilian server.

Mhm..

 

[Muddimar]

Is there a queue yet on Mushin?

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Is there a queue yet on Mushin?

Yeah I'm at 22 minutes right now. Was in earlier but game crashed.

 

[diablos991]

Is there a queue yet on Mushin?

My Q time keeps jumping from 9 - 47 minutes.
It never actually logs in though.

 

[Muddimar]

Looks like I'll be chillin' with some Brazilians on the Jiwan server then lol.

 

[Ketkat]

Yeah I've been in queue for an hour now, when there were only 30 people in line. Timer has only gone up

 

[Muddimar]

Mushin? Or another?

 

[Ketkat]

Mushin? Or another?

Mushin, don't want to lose place in line and try a different one

 

[Muddimar]

My friend and I decided on Poharan... Figured they will likely do some server balancing anyway, given the current population distribution.

 

[shadow2810]

Guess I will go with Jiwan or Poharan then. Mushin is like premium server, hell even with premium you still have to queue, totally expecting 3h+ queue time for free users on Jan 19 lol

 

[Kitoro]

Alright, joined the Cerulean Order on Mushin. Is our guild ready yet? My name is Vela. I'd love an invite, when possible!

 

[Kitoro]

Also, is it safe for me to activate my weapon skin on my main and apply it to my Hongmoon weapon? That's the one I'll be using basically forever, right? Thanks!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Why am I at work instead of playing

 

[Chariot]

Why am I queuing instead of playing :,(

 

[Arsin]

Mushin is at 71 min Queue, with me being in line for about 15 min. It started at 30, then I somehow got pushed back in line and there are now 1100 other premium users in line in front of me.
Really hope I am able to play this game at some point.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Got right into Mushin and made both my characters. 32 minute wait time in queue to get into the game right now. Do you get guild/clan access right away or does it take a while?

Characters:

Kushino
Female Jin Assassin

Maple Cookie
Male Lyn Force Master

Let's do this!

 

[Hubb]

Not sure any of the guild leaders are actually playing atm. Later tonight the guild should be up.

 

[SixMachine]

#1197 in line, gonna play some Dragon's Dogma while I wait I guess...

I bet I won't even be done with the character creator when the queue pops.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Queue just jumped to 54 minutes. Welp. Guess I'lll go get lunch.

 

[RellyRell28]

At least I'll have mario maker for me if I'm in queue

 

[K.Sabot]

if you aren't the 2nd tier of founder pack you aren't playing on Mushin today.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Que jumped to 60 mins I been in for 60 mins might alt server till later.

 

[Muddimar]

if you aren't the 2nd tier of founder pack you aren't playing on Mushin today.

Well.. not playing on Mushin. Seems the other servers don't have any issues atm.

 

[Arsin]

Yeah sorry GAF, I would love to play this with you guys, but it seems like only mUshin has any kind of Queue time right now and I do not feel like dealing with these line times x10 when the game launches and a few weeks after.

My friends and I will have to make on another server to avoid having to log in before work and still be in line when we get home.

 

[Arkayn]

Finaly made it in after 55 min

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Why am I at work instead of playing

Gotta pay for those costumes somehow!
