hexagonal purple you mean? probably ya, but its not craftable as of yet or am i missing something? cause im t3 with the drop recipe from brightstone (which is kinda useless for jewelers atm), and there is no hex purple.

No hex purple diamond no, but the blues also require polished marbles, which require like 2soulstones per 5 or whatever it is, so you end up having to use a decent chunk of soulstones.

But apparently not for this cause it connects to a bunch of subservers that then route you through other servers and what not. If you ping with this from europe, it pings to the US for example because their cross servers or some shit are hosted there. It's weird as fuck.

It shouldn't be the servers, but it's most likely the routing to them. From what I understood a lot of time to get good routing to the servers they have to pay the providers inbetween and shit or they get the crappy ones they reroute everyone through. Which is why when you install a VPN of sorts like WTFast or PingZapper or just a normal VPN, then pick another place, you'll actually get no lags at all to the same server. So it's not really the servers, but it's some shit NCsoft should be fixing on their end with whoever's routing traffic to their servers.

I've been pretty lucky so far as I'm rarely affected. I've been getting a few delay issues sometimes, but nothing unplayable, just makes my ani cancel fuck up, and one time I had really severe lag for like 5mins but then it was gone.

The combos they show you early in the game are just ways you can use your skills in combination. No particular bonus to it, it's just to help new players understand their class and give them ideas on how to use stuff. You later get meteor instead of firewall and can do the same thing for pretty solid damage.

For animation cancelling, most classes have it to an extent. Summoner does it kinda, with LMB/RMB. You need to spec for faster casting LMB(left path), then you basically weave LMB inbetween RMB. You can also cancel F into LMB/RMB since the animation is slow on that.

Some classes have it more than others. For blademasters, RMB is a pretty long animation, which you can cancel with LMB. The total time to do RMB+LMB is about the same as the time to do RMB alone, this lets you do more damage in the same amount of time.

Destroyers and KFMs do that a lot too, cancelling stuff to fit more into the same frame of time. KFM entire PvP balance relies on cancelling abilities to fit 3 in the duration of 1, it's called 3RF(because it presses 3, R which is the keyboard shortcut for LMB and F) and does massive damage when executed well. Even in PvE you use LMB between about everything and cancel it to add free damage, and 2(the main attack for KFMs), gets cancelled into F when it's up too, which also gets cancelled. Basically everything just cancels into each other. A good KFM you won't see any of their main combo animations actually finishing, unless they're using searing palm build which makes everything not cancellable. Destroyers is the same during their main spam, they just kinda wave their axes without actually finishing a motion, they go super quick and all your hear is the "chunk" noises.

If you play during normal times, you don't see as many bots, probably because there's a lot of players. When I do my pvp daillies at 4AM though, it's 90% bots. It's interesting to see the different bots too, some are like REALLY fucking bad, some are actually fucking brutal in terms of animation cancelling and skill choice. They work with a variety of build too, some with red spin, some that spam grabs, some that never grab and instead try to CC chain.

Worst are the KFM bots though, I'm nowhere near good enough yet to actually beat one. I sometimes win a round, but they generally fuck me up. I know the KFM skills but I can't fucking for the life of me not throw CC into the 1sec iframe after their dodge, always, like a retard.

Anyway for now I'm just farming the daillies and trying to learn how to BM. I also do pvp daillies on summoner, I think I'm already 200rating higher, soon plat. It is indeed ez mode in comparison.

Guess they thought I was a summoner bot?

I'm at a loss for words. Submitted a support ticket. I've put well over $600 in this game in the past 2 months.

There's a lot of this, support usually unbans within a day, quite often a couple of hours. It seems that whatever they're doing to mass ban bots catches a bunch of random people with it too.
