Where to watch Blade & Soul 2015 World Championship?

Blade & Soul Tournament 2015 World Championship starts from Nov 1st to Nov 14th. Its stage musical is based on the story of the main villain, Jin Seo-Yeon. The championship will most likely also reveal the 9th class, which will in turn stir up a lot of hype for the early 2016 release of Blade & Soul and the beta weekends still to come. The matches stream on Korea BNS website and the NCSoft Youtube page. As players are usually good at e-sports, this PvP tournament is quite worth watching.

About Blade & Soul

To most Asian players, Blade and Soul is no longer a new MMO now. Blade & Soul is developed by Korean game developer NCsoft. Blade & Soul is a fantasy martial-arts game featuring stunning graphics by artist Hyung-Tae Kim. After years of waiting, this game will ultimately launch in NA/EU in Q1 2016. Before its release, player still need to play it on Asian servers. The Taiwan one was cool, though seemed really small compared to the Korean one. So if you are living outside of Asia, Blade & Soul Korea server is more recommended. A Korea VPN can allow you play on Blade & Soul Korea server.

How to reduce lags?

You may suffered long latency if you are a gamer living in Europe. Latency exists because of the geographic distance between gamer and game server. So if you living in Europe playing BNS Korea, you may be frustrated with the high ping. While actually you only need a Korea VPN to reduce ping. Other than enable you get an IP address to get access the game, VPNs also have the function of reduce game ping to make the game smooth.

How to lower ping in games

Ping is the response time takes for data to go from your computer to the game server. In online multiplayer games, ping is an important factory to get high level. Low ping is always desirable because lower latency of network provides smooth game-play.

USA VPN or proxy

The latency of your network connection depends on your physical location and the game server or peer you want to connect to. A VPN connection might help you to get a lower ping on some games, especially if you are playing a game on a long-distance game servers. So, let's say you live in Singapore and you are playing your game on some US server located in Los Angeles. Because of geographic location between you and server, you may get lag issues. VPN is a tool to improve or boost ping in your favorite online games. After connecting to a USA VPN, you are closer to the game server.

Boost ping with DNS

After changing my DNS servers to Google Public DNS, the ping would be lower. All you need to do is to go to your network connection properties and change DNS servers to public DNS. After changing DNS it is recommended to restart your computer to ensure they will load and run properly on your computer. By using these servers you will likely experience lower game ping on some servers.
Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.

Add your game to your firewall's "Allowed" list

This will reduce the time that it takes for game-related information to leave and enter your network. You may or may not experience any performance increases for adding firewall exceptions, but it only takes a moment.

Switch to a wired connection

Online gaming requires stable internet connection and in most cases WiFi is not going to allow you that. To get the best performance and noticeable ping boost in most games, make sure that your computer is wired directly to your router. If that's not possible, try to speed up your WiFi or boost your WiFi signal strength.

Close bandwidth intensive programs

Every internet connection has bandwidth limitations. When you use close to your maximum bandwidth cap from your ISP your network latency will drop significantly. In order to increase ping you need to close all bandwidth intensive programs such as: uTorrent, Skype. Close your browser and pause downloads.

Rare Replay offers even more games

Rare Replay is a video game compilation developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Studios. The game is set to be released on August 4, 2015 for Xbox One. 

Rare Replay is a collection of 30 video games all previously developed by Rare in celebration of the company's 30th anniversary. Rare brings together the adventures of its iconic characters in a collection that spans the decades. The compilation will include the Xbox 360 ports of Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Perfect Dark, not their original Nintendo 64 versions. Xbox 360 games that originally included online multiplayer, such as Perfect Dark Zero and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, retain these features in the compilation release, and will include most of their downloadable content. Some older games have an option to add the appearance of scanlines by clicking the right analog stick, or an option to "rewind" progress in the game. 
Rare took their time deciding which games to include in the Rare Replay collection, even if it went against personal choices of some team members. The game collection is not pleasing everyone, especially those who expected their favourite games to be included. But those 30 games are not the end of it though, as more could be added in the future, according to Rare's James Thomas. 'There is a wealth of titles that we could dip into; a huge heritage beyond the 30 that we chose,' said Thomas.
Coming to the Xbox One next Tuesday! Are there a favorite of yours?

These jobs will not have a sub-class like the previous jobs in Final Fantasy 14. It's unknown if this will be a continuing trend after Heavensward, but at this point none of the new jobs have sub-classes.

Steam will not ban for using a VPN. The only reason they will ban for you using a VPN for cheaper price. It gives you days head start on preload and at release you get to play hours or even days earlier. I would consider it as something that is worth of yours time.
