MMO economies tend to have a life of their own which, if left unchecked, can ruin an otherwise great game. The upcoming Blade and Soul Eternal Night patch seeks to address issues with material production and the economy. The patch is scheduled to come out on May 9th and will re-balance the material requirements for weapons and accessories to account for changes in the game economy.
“With the Blade & Soul: Eternal Night update on May 9, certain weapon and accessory stages will have their material requirements adjusted in order to balance around the current rate of material production within the economy. One example being that Moonstones aren’t as prevalent as they once were, therefore the amount of Moonstones required for upgrading legendary PvE weapons and legendary accessories will be lowered, and the other crystal materials will have their quantities adjusted to compensate. The balancing isn’t an overall cost reduction like we’ve done in the past, but instead a change of materials and their amounts to better match the current economy.”
These changes have already been tested in other regions and NCSoft says that it resulted in a “generally smoother upgrading process.” The studio promises to release the full details of the upcoming changes as Eternal Night moves closer to release. We’ll let you know as soon as word comes out.
Meanwhile, you can check out the official Eternal Night teaser after the break. You can also head over to the Blade and Soul official forums for more info.
