Blade and Soul

[T'laina Toha]

So um yeah Blade and Soul apparently uses this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameGuard , apparently its an anti cheating tool though it works like a rootkit in some ways and can cause some issues with regular computer functions while running like plugging in mice or headsets. I still plan on checking this game out I just figured I'd let you guys know about.

I'll be buzzing around casually - I'm thinking Old Man Cho server, easiest to remember and pronounce :3.

By the way Kitty since you've played in the beta I was wondering did you have a negative impacts from gameguad while running the game. or was it mostly a not to intrusive expirence. I'm just trying to find some non biasied or super heated opinons on it since most of the internet seems to think it has to die in a fire and I'm sure if its that's how it really is or if people are just overreacting.

I never had any issues during my days of AION beta and Rift (both used nprotect) Though NCSoft actually dropped nprotect for the launch of AION. From what I recall, very few people actually had any issues with the protect though the ones that did had serious issues. Most of the time it was one of 3 things. Either people opening multiple games that had some sort of anti-cheat software attached to it, a corrupted file (possibly an intrusive non related virus on the PC), or where trying to load up a cheat program.

I've played all cbt for blade and soul and I've came across zero problems with it. Some people don't want it though running in the background. There was a fight for it to get taken off on the official forums.

Ah glad to hear the problems are very rare and minimal. Through reading I've learned I have to keep MSI afterburner off at least in the day it needed to because for some reason the onscreen display from it that tells your gpu/cpu temps etc triggers it and sometimes the mumble overlay i think. Thanks for letting me know your experiences btw, I'm looking forward to checking the game out on the 19th after getting though the login queues =P

Yuh same here - no problems with Gameguard. Game worked as expected, in all its buttery kung fu glory.
