Enemies start using counters and defense too later on.
They still last like 4 seconds until they're dead.

LOL, Old Man Cho = 15 prem member queue 3600 normal people queue.
It's ok, the next breakthrough weapon is the same RNG but you have to run a whole dungeon before you get your 1 (maybe 2) weapon boxes.
I was able to play a little bit earlier on mushin and stopped at lvl7, I'm confused about 1 thing regarding the soul shield.
I killed the stalker boss near the cemetery a couple times and got those soul shield packs from the wheel. Can we just toss the soul shield parts we have duplicates of? Kinda annoying they take up inventory space but oh well.
Also, what settings are you guys playing at? I have a gtx970 and the fps is usually going below 60. This is with the settings at 3, unchecking everything below post-processing and special effects.
I have an
i5-4670k @3.40ghz
8gb ram

Yeah you can just salvage those pieces, you won't need them, but you may get some fusion powder.
Guess I'll spend the money on that one then, can't imagine running a dungeon over 20 times to get my stuff...

You can salvage them to get materials to upgrade the better soul shield that you find later on. Its not like with weapons which you don't need to dismantle to upgrade other weapons. You need both the shield and the mixing powder.
i5-6500K @ 4.1gHz
16 GB ram
Nvidia GTX 970
Have everything max and it runs smooth aside from a weird dip here and there.
*Facepalm* I think I discarded some of them earlier completely forgetting we can salvage lol.
hmm, is it a something to do with my cpu then? Find it so weird I can't even get a stable 60fps for this game but warframe on the otherhand has no issue.

I figure it might have to do more with RAM, but the processor might be an issue, too. Just try bumping up the setting and try it out for a bit. If all else fails, just check the box where it says "optimize for combat".

I know it's down to personal preference but I'm torn on what class to choose. Which do you prefer and why.
I'm torn between Assassin, Kung-Fu and maybe Blade Master just for the swords.

what are people doing with their Locked Stalker Weapon chests after getting their breakthrough weapon?
Trash mobs really don't get any better outside of doing more damage if you aren't paying a little attention. Dungeons so far have been ok. I've only done the 3 easiest, they are short, sweet, and to the point. If you have 6 people who have no idea what they are doing wiping is very possible. Doing Brightstone Ruins with a bunch of 44s I wiped a few times.
Unless you are interested in something else out of it, I usually sell mine.

Yeah, the Q on Jinwan had 4800 earlier w/ 170 min line. If I want to wait in line, I'll go to the RMV. Looks like teh character creation screen miscarried my assassin. RIP. Deleting client and moving on. GL all
It has a huge,and I mean huge,learning curve...good luck making it work for everything.

I carried them around until I run out of inventory space. Then I sold them.

The answer is Blade Dancer because mowing dudes down as a little furry whirlwind never, ever gets old.
Anyway, I'm enjoying the gameplay more than I thought I would so far. I'm still not sure what I think of those oil sliders and boob physics, but at least it hasn't been too obnoxious on most of the NPCs (so far). If nothing else, the environments are goddamn gorgeous:

It does feel a lot more than I thought it would like running around inside a Guo Xi painting. Still images don't really do it justice. The zone art team nailed it.
Anyway, if I want to take The GAF Plunge for this particular game, how do you go about doing it at this point? The Discord link seems to have expired. I did get onto Mushin, at any rate, so.

It is CPU, and also the lower settings don't load the GPU as much. Leave it to what the game gives you by default instead of lowering it.
Look into overclocking your CPU to at least 4.0Ghz. This is an UE3 game, so single thread performance matters.
I have a 2500k @ 4.5Ghz and a 7970 GE. I get higher frames at preset 5.
Thanks, will take a look into overclocking soon.
quote to reveal discord link? is that how we do that here guys? not sure. but want to be safe jic.
Looks like they're adding more servers: https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/topic/150733-new-servers-coming/

wow that's great news.
New patch already and new servers? They are on it! But I wish they would just do a megaserver already...

I have the same card but an i7, 16gb of ram, and running off an ssd. I play smooth on max. I hear its processor intensive.

It took them like 3 months to add the AFK auto-kick to FFXIV. It's funny how glacial the pace of development is in that game and how long I tolerated it. I mean after 2 years they are just now talking about implementing a UI that works with 4K resolution in FFXIV.
ty for restating this
It's the only way to get decent performance out of UE3. Watch your FPS drop like crazy whenever physics stuff happen, UE3 is so awful at it.
Please just go away UE3.
You can probably put it to at least 4.0 GHz without a bump in voltage, would take maybe 5 minutes to figure out how to do that on your specific mobo. If you want to go further, go here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics
The 4.2-4.6 range (4.2-4.4 for your Haswell proc) is the point where UE3 seems to keep most frames below 16.7ms, with a pretty steady 8.3ms-10ms frame time.

Okay I finally restarted on Mushin, hopefully there's still room. If so can I get an invite, character name is Lucarianna.
hey guys. i just read this?
I've been trying this out and maybe I am just imagining things, but my fps is even smoother. There are times where I get 80+ fps? Obviously in crowded areas my stuff tanks tho. I am wondering if anyone else is running there game like this?

Unless you're on a 4970K, the i7 won't offer anything over an i5 at stock clocks. 4970K basically runs at 4.2GHz out of the box. Get the i5 there and they'll be identical.

The queues for this game are insane, i know that they have to make money somehow, but not many people is willing to sit there for 2 hours doing nothing just to play, they'll bitch, if people then don't speak good things about the game, less people will come play it and less people will pay for the premium things. Ncsoft should reconsider many things
They just need to start kicking people who are AFK. It'll solve the problem instantly. No one is logging out, they just leave it running in the background so they don't get kicked.
It's a Prisoner's Dilema.
Isn't the AFK patch already live?

GTX 780, i7-6700k, 16gb ddr4 and installed on HDD, playing on 1440p.
I get 50-60fps most of the time with some dips in loading spots, and if I unlock the fps depending on are it goes up to 70-120fps but usually stays 50 or above.
I wonder what could I do myself to make the game run consistent 60? Maybe it's just not optimized that well for 1440p, or my GPU doesn't have enough memory?
Last night I logged in when I got home from work. I ate dinner, played some divinity original sin, then some friends logged into PS4, and for some reason they are starting destiny. So I took them thru the first few story missions, and we danced in front of a shadow making shadow puppets for about ten minutes. After several hours of gaming, I was about ready to go to bed, but then checked my PC and saw that there were only 12 people left in front of me in queue. So I played a few hours of blade and soul. Tonight may be no different.
Im guessing they will have to take it down for a server maintenance soon anyhows. Dont most mmos have weekly server maintenance?
Overclock your processor to 4.0-4.6 GHz.
UE3 was designed to run on the 360 at 30 FPS, basically. Tacking more and more "next gen" stuff on top is a lot for two processes to handle, so it's extremely dependent on per-thread performance.
