In a recent stream from Bethany Stout, or Liinxy as she’s known online, NCSoft’s Community Manager, was under a little bit of stress running the stream as she alt-tabbed to and fro from window to window. While it’s quite normal for mishaps to happen during any stream, one eagle-eyed observer caught a glimpse of how the emplyoees over at NCSoft actually play Blade and Soul. Yep, that’s right; even they use a latency-reducing program to run Blade and Soul and their other games. Blade and Soul Gold: Explains a Lot of the Unfixed Lag Since launch, tons of folks have been…

It’s here! The Shadows of the Innocents update comes in with a lot of new content, updates, balancing, new items, and, of course, the three new instances that include the massive 24-member encounter that is the Twisted Grimhorn Wilds. But, more importantly, the other updates have more bearing on the overall game. Certain things that we players were used to have changed and will affect how we do our character progression and BnS gold farming. Speaking of BnS gold farming, there are tons of new things to do and the old ways have changed from slightly to significantly. There are…

That’s a big chunk of time being taken away from us to enact routine maintenance and activate the Linked Server Groups feature that NCSoft announced recently.

Blade & Soul is releasing their next content update, “Shadows of the Innocents,” on July 20, 2016. It’s going to chronicle the rise of the Ebondrake Cult right after the failed invasion of the Dark Lord and Jinsoyun’s insurrection. This marks the first update to actually continue the main story line of Blade and Soul and not merely as filler story content.

July 10, 2016Richard Griever0 Comments

Scams all alike aren’t too strange to be dealing with in 2016. What’s really strange is that, in 2016, some folks don’t know how to deal with a scam or how to spot one.

If you’re a young’un and don’t really know how this stuff actually is, let me give you a bit of advice to keep your BnS gold and account…

Blade and Soul Gold: The “Badly” Chat Bug

July 4, 2016Richard Griever0 Comments

This might sound dumb and has no sense, but just hear me out. If you go into f9 right now and join a 3v3 group, you can crash the whole arena game which includes all 6 players by simply typing “badly” , We found this bug just now while doing 3s and tried it, it seems to be crashing everyone in the match. Im not sure NCSoft is aware of this, but can anyone else try it and give their results. Holy shit, what? What is this? Just when you start getting used to the bugs and exploits in Blade…
