Welcome back to another Weekly Forum Highlight for Blade & Soul Revolution. With the final update of October looming, the official community has been unusually quiet. In times like these, players are perpetually glued to their screens, waiting for the developers to drop a note. Naturally, we decided to dive into the 'Suggestions Board,' where some of the community's brightest ideas are hidden. Here is a summary of the week's hottest topics and community buzz.

Weekly Forum Highlight

We have some suggestions for the 'Hongmun Log'!

The Suggestions Board in the Blade & Soul Revolution community is a place where dedicated players frequently gather. It’s where you can find constructive feedback or ingenious content ideas aimed directly at the developers. While it occasionally hosts some sharp, stinging criticism, the post that truly caught the community's eye this week came from a user named 'Maru-ppung'.

Maru-ppung addressed the recent faction imbalance and proposed ways to link it with the Hongmun Log for a healthier gameplay experience. Their main focus was on the rewards for Faction Wars and the Beast Massacre. The core argument? Even if a faction is losing, there should be a guaranteed baseline reward to keep players motivated. They suggested that if 'Hongmun Log Pouches' were distributed based on kills and assists regardless of the match outcome, players wouldn't feel so desperate to stick only to the winning side.

Furthermore, they called for more proactive management regarding population shifts across servers. Suggestions included server merges, adjustments to player limits in Faction War channels, and balancing the 'Yeokwang' martial arts, all aimed at making competitive content flow in a more positive direction.

With the upcoming update and the October developer note on the horizon, the response from fellow players has been quite passionate. Even though the Suggestions Board isn't as crowded as the general forum, it’s currently being flooded with 'Like' stickers. If you have a solid idea like Maru-ppung, don't hesitate to share your thoughts on the board.

Issue Q&A

Q. 'Eun Gwang-il' is invincible during the quest.
A. Please try again after the update.

Thanks to reports from players like 'Preson' on the official community, a bug fix update was pushed out. The issue involved the Act 1 main quest stalling during character progression. Specifically, players reported that during the boss fight, 'Act 1. The Wounded - Burning Bamboo Village,' damage numbers appeared, but Eun Gwang-il’s health bar simply refused to budge.

The 'GM Soyul' team acted quickly to verify the issue and promised a fix, which was deployed on October 17th. If you were stuck on this quest around that time, it should be resolved now—just log out, log back in, and give it another go.

Choosing your companion for the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' raid.

The 'Ten Thousand Mountains' dungeon, the main hub of the Return of the Blossoming Blade collaboration, requires regular weekly visits. 'GM Yeonhwa' shared a clear strategy: setting up your Guardian Spirits based on the Return of the Blossoming Blade characters. By utilizing the '100% damage increase in Ten Thousand Mountains' and '10% total damage reduction' perks exclusive to this dungeon, you can make the grind much smoother.

There are five collaboration Guardian Spirits in total. A simple event is underway where you can vote for your best partner for the dungeon. 200 participants will be selected at random to receive 10 'Energy of Martial Arts'. The event runs from the October 14th update until October 27th, so don't miss the deadline.

Weekly Nonogram

Hope 'Chung Myung' likes it!

This week's Nonogram is here to complete the face of a Return of the Blossoming Blade character. If you finished the left image last week, you probably guessed the character just by looking at the hairstyle. I wasn't exactly trying to keep it a secret, but please, pretend to be surprised for my sake. The star of this design is none other than Chung Myung!

I set the difficulty low because I knew you’d all be so enthusiastic. To emphasize Chung Myung's black hair, I left the background blank and focused on the square frame. This naturally placed the large number 14 into the puzzle, acting as a crucial hint. Once you complete this, you can connect it with last week's piece to finish the SD face of Chung Myung.

Blade & Soul Revolution Wallpaper

Ice Sword Plum Blossom 'Yu I-seol'

This week's wallpaper features Yu I-seol, the youngest second-generation disciple of the Mount Hua Sect and one of the Mount Hua Five Swords. Known as the 'Beauty of Mount Hua,' or even the 'Beauty of Shaanxi,' she is renowned for her peerless appearance. With her pale skin, tall stature, and aura of calm elegance, even Chung Myung admitted that she is the most beautiful person he has encountered in both his past and present lives.

Like the others, her swordsmanship is legendary enough to earn her a spot among the Mount Hua Five Swords. A famous example is the battle on the riverboat. When enemies rocked the boat to throw her off balance, she effortlessly stepped on the swords and shoulders of others to move, remarking, 'I can just fight without touching the ground.' It’s a testament to her quick judgment, adaptability, and superior combat skills.
