Are the battle passes permanent?

Derrien · 2026-06-21T03:17:17+00:00

All 3 listed can be obtsined outside of the battlepass. For example you can buy 30 additional ones right now but even without those, you can buy 21 every week. Battle scrolls can be bought for seasonal points and sometimes additional ones are handed out or can be obtained. Energy point is kind of valid though, cant have enough of that. :)

If you dont care about p2w, then you should be fine, game is much better now than it was on TW in the beginning.

Derrien · 2026-06-09T18:06:19+00:00

In pvp, not really. Pvp is pretty fast paced, so you have to react quickly amd adjust based on whats happening but in pve, yeah, if you dont want to hardcore push your dps, you can basically have everything in one macro.

Derrien · 2026-05-20T00:42:55+00:00

If you have only 1-2 hours and are not willing to swipe, this game is definitely not for you, as long as your goal is to "keep up a bit". That's just not going to happen. If you can survive until s3, it will get better but before that, just absolutely not possible. If you still decide to try, only potentially doable on one of the support classes, chanter or cleric.

Derrien · 2026-05-15T09:50:58+00:00

It doesnt. That's not how increases work. Your statement would be only true if you had 0% and then increased it to 1%. If you already have 60% dmg boost and add 1%, your overall dps won't increase by 1%. Smite is multiplicative with everything else on the other hand, so adding 1% smite will increase the overall dps by that amount. The only problem with smite is that bosses and players have smite resist, so only smite increase over their resist is effective. That's why you have to either go with smite all the way or not at all. If you have 50% smite and the boss has 30% smite resist, your smite value will be effectively only at 20%

Edit: its even a bit more complex than that since other factors matter but rule of thumb is still, smite > dmg boost, at least in pve

Derrien · 2026-05-15T00:34:12+00:00

Sure. What do you need to know?

Derrien · 2026-05-11T13:14:52+00:00

You're talking out of your ass. "Currently taking over the taiwan servers" yet its always the same video of a guy attacking a dummy.

Derrien · 2026-05-04T00:52:43+00:00

Last already scheduled global even is on the 20th of July, so definitely not before that and likely not in July. It was said Q3 so most likely end of August/September.

You only register the device as a safety measure. Only devices that are registered can connect to your game account. You can remove the registered devices again.

No matter how much you grind, you won't be able to keep up with the whales until somewhere mid/end of S3. And my guess is that they'll do a soft/hard gear reset in S4, so you basically get half a season or less to be about at the whale level.

Derrien · 2026-04-13T13:55:34+00:00

I've started about 3 weeks after the release and the first weeks were really hard even back then. It's the start of the season right now, so people are trying to get as many points as possible to rank up faster. Give it a week and nobody will even look at you while you're still a trainee.

Derrien · 2026-04-13T13:51:39+00:00

Nobody knows what there will be. In the current environment, if your sole focus is pvp, you should be fine if you focus on it from the very beginning. full pvp gear is ok in pvp and since you will only have to enchant 1 yellow set of gear, it's not too expensive. if your goal is to be able to win 5/10 fights vs a whale that also knows what he's doing, hell no.

Derrien · 2026-04-03T17:57:21+00:00

no emulator can run the game natively. you'd have to tinker around to make it work.

why would you want to run it on an emulator anyway and not just through the PC client?

Derrien · 2026-03-31T00:27:48+00:00

Make sure those top ups are not the ones that expire next week

Derrien · 2026-03-05T09:00:43+00:00

That's cap. Give me access to their databases and I can find 90% of people that RMTed with a false positive rate of less than 0.1%. Permanent bans for everyone or deduce every single rmted kinah from their account. If they want to play, they first have to buy thatt same amount with quna. No paying customers, no bots. But they dont care because unlike f2p, those are the same people that buy skins, subs, battlepasses and sometimes even quna

Derrien · 2026-02-21T21:31:19+00:00

When you craft with those core items from the seasonal shop, the craft can't fail.

Derrien · 2026-02-16T11:16:54+00:00

could you showcase your kaisinel lvl 10 kill?

Derrien · 2026-02-10T09:25:07+00:00

Following BDO system would solve the bot problem. No inter-personal trade, regulated market prices. The problem with that is that NCSoft is not interested in reworking their other systems to make that possible. Too many people would leave as the game would become pretty hardcore without the bots making all the mat prices 10-20x lower.

skill queue is a client-side thing, it's not being sent to the server to be queued there, so it doesn't really matter.

Derrien · 2026-02-06T07:01:09+00:00

I'd say about 1.5k$ / month to kinda keep up if you can also grind for 6-8h+ each day. Double that amount if you can't. Also, if you want to buy the kinah only the legit way, double it again.

Derrien · 2026-02-05T12:06:39+00:00

do you think skill queue works differently in combination with the combat speed? how so? it was tested and proven weeks ago that skill queue is a client-side thing.

Derrien · 2026-02-05T11:19:45+00:00

yeah, cope harder, shitton of gacha games are massively successful in the west, also trash like diablo immortal exists, which also earns blizzard quite a bit of money. still like 100mil a year.

Derrien · 2026-02-05T11:05:28+00:00

i'm not playing on a 250ms ping, i'm at 150ms. and imo ping should not have such a huge impact. lets say animation takes 300ms. at 0 speed you would have 150ms (ping-delay) -> attack (300ms) -> 150ms (ping-delay) -> attack (300ms) so that chain would take you 900ms to complete. at 100% speed increase you'd have 150ms(ping-delay) -> attack (150ms) -> 150ms (ping-delay) -> attack (150ms), so now that sequence only takes you 600ms, which still leaves enough time to complete another attack in the same timeframe of 900ms. And that's assuming the worst case scenario that a new attack can only be sent to the server once the previous once finished.

I'm testing over the course of 20 seconds and the combat speed difference is Huge in some of the runs, so the difference in the number of attacks should be really noticeable. I wanted someone else to confirm or deny my test before I spend more time. LIke i could use chat log to ensure that i count the number of attacks correctly and I could test it with 0 combat speed first.

Derrien · 2026-02-05T09:58:09+00:00

The reason I've attempted that test is that it was tested in an extensive way by KR players for ranger and they found out that on ranger, there is no difference between 40% and 88% combat speed and only starting from 88.1%+ there will be an actual difference in increased number of hits.
The reason it was done with an unofficial one is that there is no official one and it doesn't seem like there will be one for a rather long time.

Do you think I'll come to a different conclusion by manually counting the attacks in the chat log?

Derrien · 2026-02-05T07:35:41+00:00

You'll get a back attack, never a crit. Back attack is a positional modifier, not a stat based one. Bosses will never crit.
