What games did you play?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">Before BNS, I played a lot of shooters on the Playstation 3 and more mainstream games like League of Legends later on. Blade & Soul was my gateway to the MMO genre. I always mentioned it with my MMO friends when playing other MMOs. BNS holds a very special place in my heart.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Are/were you in a clan? If so, which clan?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">My first real clan was “Clan”(yea i know), which was active during the Moonwater Region Patch. With Silverfrost region, I've joined “Please Be Gentle” and specifically their Cerulean Branch cuties.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>How long have you been playing Blade & Soul?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">I played BNS Live from release in the West until the Nightfall Sanctuary Raid Patch(roughly 2016-2019). I’ve been playing BNS NEO from release consistently.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Have you always been the same class? If not, why did you change?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">I have always been a Kung Fu Master as that is the fantasy archetype I naturally gravitate towards. Taking it one step further, I have never changed from Fire Spec as that always seemed to be the most fun, gameplay-wise even if it was out of the meta for a really long time and dealing less damage than others.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>What do you like most about your current class?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">I’ll speak about Fire KFM on this segment. I really like the fact that I have to maintain constant uptime and make no mistakes to perform well as the spec has really low global cooldowns and is really punishing if you waste precious seconds from your rotations. It keeps me engaged and focused while fighting bosses and feels really rewarding when you finally manage a perfect run.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><h2 id="" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(112, 48, 160);"><strong>◆ Blade & Soul Through The Years ◆</strong></span></h2><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>What makes Blade & Soul stand out compared to other games you’ve played?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">Easily the best combat system out of any MMO I've personally played. However, I don’t believe it is being utilized at its full potential in BNS NEO and I hope the developers take more liberties with class gameplay evolution over its lifetime. I also hope they release all the amazing raid content that already exists in LIVE while also adding new content in between.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Have you always played this version, or did you switch?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">I stopped playing LIVE shortly after the Awakening Patch changed how Fire KFM played as a Spec because it stopped being appealing to me. BNS NEO brought the classic Fire KFM combat back, so it was an easy decision for me to return to Blade & Soul with NEO.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><div class="fr-image" contenteditable="false" data-contents-json="{"src":"https://fizz-download.playnccdn.com/lg/file/BladeNSoul/download/19c2f13f684-a0759319-46e7-44ce-af78-c98bda45f3c1","width":null,"height":null}" data-contents-type="image"><div class="fe-image-inner"><img src="https://fizz-download.playnccdn.com/lg/file/BladeNSoul/download/19c2f13f684-a0759319-46e7-44ce-af78-c98bda45f3c1" alt="wubble.jpg" class="fe-image"></div></div></div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><h2 id="" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(112, 48, 160);"><strong>♥︎ Favorite Memories & Stories ♥︎</strong></span></h2><div data-contents-type="text" style="text-align: center;">“<em>It took us many 12-hour sessions over multiple days to get it down and I will always hold those times fondly…”</em></div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Tell us some of your favorite memories from B&S.</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">Back in Moonwater Patch and more specifically Cold Storage Dungeon, release my spec was very strong at low gear levels and I could help out a lot of lower gear players that were struggling with it. I did many multi-runs and I met a lot of people through them that have made my game experience more enjoyable since then. Another one, is the time when I had a spontaneous role-play session with Akumy and I was acting like a Game NPC being aggrod(check media below). Another memory that comes to mind is the Twisted Labyrinth 6man in House Clan progression runs that were completely on the limit of what was possible with our gear back then. Tanking fuujin gave me trouble but we pulled through as a group with a lot of patience and determination.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><h2 id=""><em><strong>Special shoutout to floo, exw , Whoah , sephi and tarmiel for the experience.</strong></em></h2><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text">A more recent one would be the moment when we managed to level up our guild to level 10 on cuties and unlocked the ability to craft the supreme version of the cerulean outfit which looks extremely cool in my opinion.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>What was your biggest “I finally did it” moment?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">I haven’t had a moment like that in NEO yet, as raids haven’t really rolled out in full force in this version. However, in LIVE, my biggest achievement was finally clearing Scion’s Keep and Hive Queen with my raid group--made mostly out of average geared friends. It took us many 12-hour sessions over multiple days to get it down and I will always hold those times fondly, as many of the people from back then have moved on from Blade & Soul (many have families by now).</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Have you ever stayed up way too late because of B&S?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">True Blade & Soul players don’t have a concept of way too late in their vocabulary.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Was there a specific update, patch, or era that felt like the “golden age” for you?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">Golden age was definitely the Nighfall Sanctuary Raid Patch. It didn’t yet have the Awakening Patch in the game yet and the raid was very demanding on all players. Something I really enjoyed as the previous raids were mostly mechanic checks for a clear. A lot of the game and gearing systems felt complete in that period and the gameplay was very fluid. LIVE really peaked in that patch and has never reached that peak since in my opinion. As for BNS NEO, I do not want to assign a golden age to it yet, as it still has a lot of content to go through, and it’s still a game that’s evolving through the patches.</div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><div class="fr-image" contenteditable="false" data-contents-json="{"src":"https://fizz-download.playnccdn.com/lg/file/bladensoul/download/19c2f18df31-a437cf53-8de1-4f4d-bc21-0f852833919a","width":null,"height":null}" data-contents-type="image"><div class="fe-image-inner"><img src="https://fizz-download.playnccdn.com/lg/file/bladensoul/download/19c2f18df31-a437cf53-8de1-4f4d-bc21-0f852833919a" alt="wubble3.jpg" class="fe-image"></div></div></div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><h2 id="" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(112, 48, 160);"><strong>◆ Clan and Community ◆</strong></span></h2><div data-contents-type="text" style="text-align: center;"><em>“Chances are if you see green in front of you, it’s Wubble, and I like it that way.”</em></div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>Do you have any funny stories involving rival clans or players?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">The all-out verbal brawl that ensued between me and a very wonderful warlock player in Skyhaven Bastion.

I hope the developers also rework how defense reduction functions as it is now mandatory to run with a summoner and NEO was advertised as a version where there’s no mandatory classes in parties by removing party blue buff and soulburn from the game.
