If they made PVP equipment works only on red basin and not on open world, this would make more fair for normal players to defend against abuse on open world. Would also make more fun battles as normal players would maybe stand a chance on open world...
Thats a great idea. I also think gear score syncing would solve a lot of issues
It is too bad you are on Xbox. I have created a non official guild alliance to help non PVP player that are being killed at the farms spot by the PvP guild. Maybe you could organise something like this for Xbox ? Also yes on PS we have 4 channel for Europe but we experienced the same issue for mounts farming and jungle invasion as well as Kannus invasion. So 100% agreed on time wasted there. Regarding the suicide promoting I have tried to show it to the GM and ask the person to apologise to his own guild member but I have never gotten an answer from the GM. A lots of good people in this game but the bad people are flooding the chats with bad thought and words and yes that needs to change
It's very cool that you're doing that. Open world PVP holds zero interest for me, so I'm not the right guy to lead that crusade into combat XD The game needs an ingame report function with dedicated staff to respond to those
Open world PvP does not for me either because those that do it only do it at farms spot or first few regions. Never see them In Eidolon wonder why xD. And yes they do. About a week ago the GM wrote on the chat that it was always monitored but when I see all the insults and some players promoting suicide I severely doubt it. Even when I pointed it at by tagging them on the chat I never got any answer
Once in a blue moon you see a GM say something like "No fighting" in chat, but beyond that its really just anarchy lol.
Every time I've ever been attacked by another player in the open world, it was someone looking for an easy kill. Nobody goes out and looks for a fair fightt
This must be an xbox thing cause it doesn’t relate well to the ps4 community. We actually have a large group of guilds working together to get everyone decimators for example.
Sorry your having such a bad experience with the game, I personally love the secrets. Ive been playing steady since october and im still learning things.
It's kind of a shadow culture thing and I from some PS4-ers having run into these issues, but many don't really run into it. Xbox had a glitch a while back that gave a ton of people ungodly amounts of lumena. Affected people were suspended for a few days but they got to keep all the the cash shop stuff they had glitched into. We've been feeling a market imbalance ever since
I do but I'm not the average player.
Aye it's the exception to the rule and I salute you for it^
A interesting rant -
A few notes: Smugglers can be found with a simple google search.
Rare mounts also just google - don’t want to be pvp’d - pop a peace scroll like me.
Invasion popping call is spot on - happy to share what I know on how to pop them that we have confirmed.
Community is great on Physera- never had an issue but I play with No Ditto - a truely friendly and helpful guild.
Xbox’s invasion popping taking forever is a good call - Luminos needs to merge into Physera and add a 3rd channel.
I think we give to much blame on the devs - we can work together to share knowledge too and some guilds do.
On all points though - they should make smugglers, rare mount spawns and invasion popping common, in-game available knowledge @blessunleashed @neowizglobal @round8studio
Finally a positive, the game may be a year old but development was screwed up due to a international crisis. If this game was only 3 or 6 months old then there is still plenty of time for it to grow, learn and expand as the great game that you u/TheMinion256 me and others think it can be!
Yes, smugglers can be found easily now. But they used to be exclusive info, and making it public is what got me targeted and threatened. Same with rare mounts, except I wasn't the one to do that reveal. A lot of this community is great, but the system in place encourages the kind of "seedy underbelly" of the game where things are not so pretty. Bless Unleashed definitely deserves some extra slack because of the rushed pandemic release and devs working from home during covid. They'll stabilize and make it great. Just saying people are being terrible to each other and thats something they could be focusing on right now
I’ve seen people get bullied off of lumenas. A friend and myself were told to stop showing up at smugglers or their guild would give us hell. Lol. Threats in a game. Made me laugh but definitely very toxic. If spawns were a little bit more random it would definitely keep people guessing and there wouldn’t be groups of people camping tames and smugglers.
I could literally write an algorithm in 2 minutes that would make smugglers, ancient chests and rare spawns become totally unpredictable, but I'm guessing their source code is kinda fragile and anything new you add could break something else lol
Your comments about Rare mounts was true maybe before last September. Since then the toxic guilds got destroyed off rare tame locations and disbanded/quit the game. It’s been peaceful since.
Then you weren't in the thick of it when the golden stag info was being fought over just recently. It was like starving pitbulls fighting over a dead cat. And it'll happen again when the next map comes out. It's nice to hear the general situation has improved with the older mounts tho
Great video. I'm sorry to hear about those death threats. No one deserves that. This community is so toxic. Developers don't ban people for exploits or for making selling star seeds their full-time job.
This game will die just like Bless Online. It's only a matter of time. The pandemic was just a lease on life for this game and with the pandemic coming to an end, so will this game.
I really hope that isn't the case. It's essentially a great game and can be saved if we can just talk the captain into not steering towards icebergs for 10 minutes lol
Do developers or GMs (what do GMs even do???) ever come to this subreddit? Read the issues? Comments? Take things into account? Or is it always "submit a support ticket and we'll forward your feedback to the mystery developers who may or may not exist."
They do come here to get a feel for community mood and feedback. Bamco really cares but their influence is limited. They take what they get in support tickets and feedback they see here and pass it along to Neowiz, so they're the ones who really have to care in the end.
Those players still run around the game today. And whether this is true or not, some of them have enough resources to manipulate the market as they please. There's even people on Xbox very obviously selling star seeds for cash.
The developers really don't care about this game.
Aye you still feel the shockwaves from that whole mess every day
I partly was, but since last reset that is fine now too since its public knowledge. It's peaceful at those spots now.
It's definitely gotten better, and maybe I should have angry ranted when it was at its worst. My beef is that the system the created all that hate is still in place and needs patched
It's a BEAUTIFUL game. I am constantly awed by the animation and textures and the work put into building an immersive environment.
It really is. I love playing it. Sometimes that may not come across very clearly lol. I bitch because I care
I’ve played a lot of open world pvp games ... this one managed to kill my interest in them anymore.
4 people managed to do that. The level of toxicity people from certain guilds had ... I cannot understand how the Devs intentionally designed the game that way.
Edit: I haven’t played the game for about 2 months ... its literally completely changed my mental health being away from the community entirely. The guild I was in was great ... but overall ... the community as a whole is mental. Taking a break from a game shouldn’t provide relief, the game itself should be the relief. Sad that a game was designed like this. Especially one with so much potential.
I'm sorry about what you experienced. If it helps, I left Sea of Thieves because the game was great but the community so toxic. 7 months later I went back and its much better, because toxics have no real staying power and most of the people who last are the good ones. Bless Unleashed's toxic elements will decrease over time.
Wait what? You didn't make smugglers public. Dreamy did this. This was done so long ago and videos posted.
All the crusade starter info has been posted on reddit here multiple times by me. And this information has been available for over 9 months and can be found via simple Google search.
A lot of your gripes come from the fact that you put minimal effort into the game and you play it like it's a co op. I have no idea what your experience is with mmos, but it definitely shows to be lacking. Secrets and the community figuring out information together is a staple of mmos ever since ever quest in 1999. The epic weapon quests released in kunark. World of warcraft attunement quests and hidden mount quests. Like you're legit complaining about basic mmo mechanics that have been solved and you can figure out with a simple Google search.
I honestly can't believe you are taking credit for making smugglers public. You are WAYYYYYY LATE to that party.
dreamy posted a bunch of sightings, and then everybody rushed to copy her list. I parked 9 alts at reported locations and set an alarm to wake me up every hour to check all of those spots for 6 days before releasing a guide 100% confirming or debunking reported locations. Dreamy got the ball rolling and she definitely deserves a lot of credit for that. But I did a ton of ridiculous work to get the information right. I lived and breathed smugglers and nothing else with next to no sleep, and got several death threats as a result.
We know the invasion triggers, but we don't "know" all the invasion triggers, and the many posts often conflict with each other, so needing clear information on those from an official source is still an issue
Wrong. Dreamy and I did all that for the smugglers. Our list was confirmed by both of us. You said you did this for 6 days? That's great. Dreamy and I did this everyday for a month straight. Like I said originally - minimal effort on your part. How are you going to say her list wasn't confirmed when we did it every day for a month. 6 days is literally nothing compared to the effort we put in. And even in your semi apology post above you still are trying to take credit for it. That's rediculous. For a MONTH STRAIGHT we did the smugglers to make that list. Got the ball rolling my ass. Tell me what of her original information was incorrect or missing?
Additionally again - I posted EVERY. Single. Invasion. Trigger after I solved the prestige quest line. Including the kannas mountain chaos invasion. All the information I posted multiple times to start invasions was 100% correct. I posted this all 9 months ago. As well as correcting people's incorrect posts.
You want to know the reason why information isn't shared? Because of videos like yours. You legit think 6 days of effort "to verify" someone's information to make sure it's correct is you doing it. No dude. We did this for 30 days straight - a month straight to get it right. 6 days is a drop in the bucket compared to the time we put in. Then people like you come along and steal the credit. Then you do a half ass apology while still trying to take credit for it. Our information was correct and confirmed. We didn't need someone else to "confirm" it and take credit for themselves.
I also posted every.single.invasion trigger. and it turned out what a lot of us thought was fact turned out to be bogus. Neowiz even specifically said the Ardell invasion is triggered by killing 20 pumas and 20 elephants. before that we thought it was just 200 pumas. then a gm lets slip that its goblins. there's too much misinformation that puts every existing guide in question.
I've already been talking to dreamy about making sure she gets proper credit. We're cool. But it doesn't change the fact that I worked hard on getting everything confirmed. I was the first person to get screenshots of every single smuggler and distribute them, and debunk false report locations. A community that was already distrustful because of all the ancient chest misinformation out at the time was demanding screenshot confirmation of everything. I provided and you can't diminish that because you are somehow butthurt.
The video wasn't about the credit. It was about the toxic community backlash. Of which this is a prime example. You're attacking me because I somehow injured your pride in a video that wasn't even about you.
For your efforts in uncovering information, thank you very much. I always praise and appreciate that when I know about it, and we need more people busting up the monopolies. I hope you can value your own efforts even without diminishing the efforts of others in the process in future.
Toxic community backlash? Nahhh man you taking credit for other people's hard work then deflecting the blame. Funny thing is there's still secrets in the game that 99% don't know about. Soon as someone says something you'd just make a video claiming credit for it.
But keep calling this toxic community backlash instead of what it really is which is you deflecting blame.
Dude if you did all that smuggler work, I'm happy to give credit. But I've never heard of you. And obviously you don't know me at all either lol. My original guide credits dreamy. and this video was about how I got death threats for the smuggler pics I took. Your response to "I got death threats" is "stfu and also I am awesome". That's not exactly a positive community contribution.
I'm sorry something I went through and spoke up about somehow triggered your delicate sensibilities. Please be well
I'm DaddyMBP in blessed. I know who you are, and you know who I am. I've done a ton for the blessed community.
I appreciate that and I'm sorry I wasn't aware and don't know that charactername, but to be fair I keep global chat closed and have since almost the beginning, and I didn't have much presence on reddit until they handed it to me to mod one day.
So, sorry for not knowing you or your contribution. Reading my above comment I realize my wording about making smugglers public was poorly chosen. Really not trying to take credit away from anyone, which is why I've been talking to dreamy about making a video to clarify that. I won't let my own efforts be diminished but it is very true that 80% of the locations I was camping for confirmation came from dreamy's list and the video wouldn't have been possible without her. Or you, if you were right there with her.
Hope we can squash this. I'm not looking to make enemies
Ps4 peeps lose their mind if you kill pandas. Lmao
People kill pandas? Nooooooo
It happened. The "guilds" that share information, are in reality dicks. They withhold the information and they aren't interested in helping anyone outside of their booty club. But that being said I didn't do it for any other reason than I am a troll and my entire guild tried to tell me to stop. Had they asked, things would have been fine, but a demand?
It's amazing how being given an ultimatum makes you want to do the opposite even more ;)
Bamco people....are those the ones with the GM tags on their character names?
The GMs do work for Bamco, but I think in varying degrees. I'm not sure but some are also in community management and involved in support, and some are just players with privileges. Usually when I refer to Bamco I mean the people one or 2 steps higher than your average GM
Love your videos man. Keep it coming. The Stonewyvern Cave has a few people that will camp it and kill anyone who comes in looking for Foxeye Grass for sales reasons. Notorious is the worst guild for this. Ran into a girl this morning farming Foxeye and both of us were on edge and tired of getting killed everytime but ended up loosley bonding and coming to a channel agreement. Buying your weight in Peace Scrolls for most people isn't an economically viable option for most of us. It gets expensive. We run out of SS to buy gear and have to resort to real money, which is shitty to be forced to that. We also have a particular player that likes to camp the hounds for hours at a time and kill people that come in to do the regional, then bitch about fair play when they come back with a group of 5 to stop it.
We have a guild or 2 on Xbox actively trying to help control needless violent hoarding (in the game) I also think adding a daily Peace Scroll similar to the daily participation awards would take power from the PVP stronghold on valuable content......also.....I'd be very curious to follow the money trail of these people making real life money and see where a portion of it ends up considering the blatant lack of care about what's happening. But I enjoy life right now. Lol. Keep it up man. It'd be cool to party up sometime and run some dungeons if we're on at the same time.
Thanks I appreciate it. That kind of area hoarding is very specifically a style of play devs said this game would never support. Since the self-policing system didn't work out the way they wanted, I really hope they get around to finding open world pvp a real balance.
Peace scrolls being a lumena shop item has always bothered me. Even when you're buying it for seeds, someone paid real money for it and put it there, so it's reasonable to assume Neowiz is actively profiting from people trying to just play the game. I love the free daily scroll idea. Ultimately you should just be able to opt out of pvp, or have pvp only in specific designated zones, with real conquerable objectives to fight over and give the whole thing some depth and meaning
