Ask Zikiri: BnS Q&A

Since our BG wanted "ask ziki" thread, I made this

Firstly, I don't know everything about B&S. So please spare me if I am not able to sate your curiosity.
Anyways, I will try my best to answer any questions.

So yeah, let the questions begin XD

Zikri, why is the sky blue? Why u want my kinah so badly?

What can you tell me about the guild system in BnS? The wiki doesn't seem to have any info on it.

first question and i dont have much idea about it
Was never able to join a guild lol ...chinese chinese everywhere @_@

What I know is as u progress along the main story line, you are forced to choose a faction between red and blue. The quest comes quite late, so no need to worry at the start. I m unsure if this affect the guild coz if u equip the dobok (costume) of the faction, u enter pvp mode and can kill people who wear the opposite faction's dobok.
And u can jump from red to blue or vice versa later on. So, not much worries on that.

Found these 2 links. should cover most of the stuff i guess

Oh and people in china server were pretty considerate and didnt just jump on u just coz u are "red"...something which is never gonna happen in NA :/

Interesting. So joining a guild -may- be faction bound...seeing as that guide says you must be part of the PvP faction first. We'll find out. If not, maybe we can have some events where you have to butcher your guildmates to win something

"It can hold 20 members when advancing to rank 2 and 30 members for rank 3."
Does this mean that rank 1 & rank 2 is limited to 20 members in a guild?

Spots are more limited than I'd hoped for. We may need to make several guilds then to accommodate for all members..maybe we can translate our virtues as a guild into Latin, one guild for each of our virtues or something?

I am pretty sure you can expand your guild beyond rank 3 for more member limit. It reminds me of Ragnarok Online (played that longer than aion). Guild had actual upgrades when u raise its lvl/rank unlike aion.

And I dislike the notion of multiple guilds for the sole reason that its not unified..

Will just place my faith in a possible extended member limit as you continue to upgrade the guild then.

I do hope an increased base member limit is also one of the minor changes that will be introduced in the Western version though. 20 is a rather small number.

The asian server has english language (on the interface) or it's only chinese, korean, or russian?

@rage
Players have come up with english patch. They try to keep it as updated as possible. You do notice some chinese/japanese/russian on the interface but the game is more than playable. Only issue is finding other english players

Here's a new one for the oracle:

I read BnS uses an auction/bidding system in instances instead of ffa/dice. Is there any way to do class roll (e.g. only 1 person bids for 1 bronze or something and wins)?

Haven't seen any such thing coz the patch was not 100% English when i was playing...so never got around to seeing all the options available for groups.
But if no one bids except one at the lowest value, then its automatically gonna go to that player. (like how everyone passes except the one who needs it in aion)

As far as the looting system goes I only know that the gold the winner has bid on the item is then shared amongst the party members, I don't think they have a class roll system D:

@zikiri

Is there alot of endgame content to keep us engaged in the game instead of just getting boring and repetitive once we reach cap? (If you've gotten to endgame of course haha)

sry on that Saeno
but when i hit 40 on my char, i played for a while n then quit >_<
My equips, however, were(are) still unfinished and it would surely have taken me loads of time to reach the last enchant/upgrade state. At least that end game equip grind is a bit similar to aion (not sure if u have played that one yet).

BnS anyways makes you grind for most stuff, so at least part of end game will be filled with that imo.
