Hi dear viewers, this is Katou from Zulia (all Yura now...), Minerva Clan. I'm a 6-year player of BNS, and I'm willing to answer any questions regarding BNS. Love this game, and love you all.
I got my name from Katou Megumi, the main female character of Saenai Kanojou no Sodatekata (How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend). Favorite character in the anime world. And I do put the weeb suffix on pretty much all my characters, like OuO, OxO, OwO. You know what, Katou UwU is reserved for thunderer xD. (I ate my words...It's Katou OoO now)
My main is endgame geared Astromancer now. Past main was Des, WL, SF, Gunner, BM, Archer on NA, and KFM, BD, BM, WL on CN server. (yes I've been changing mains lol) So I may give suggestions on most of the classes and game-play issues (might be superficial/obsolete tho).
1, Where are you from? I'm from Guangdong, China. So feel free to speak Cantonese to me, although I may reply in another language since my pronunciation is ridiculous.
2, How long have you been in USA? Since 2010. I went to Trinity-Pawling School in Pawling, NY, and I graduated from Emory University, Atlanta, GA in 2018. Now I am working and based in New York City.
3, What you study? I double majored in Applied Mathematics and Japanese (Awkward combination huh). I love both majors, although I'm not doing very well in math. Decided to major in Japanese because I not only love Anime just like other weebs do, but I LOVE Japan as a whole--culture, society, history, tradition, etc. Feel free to ask any academic questions in chats in these fields, I'll try my best to answer. (Although I assume you will not haha)
4, Why did you start playing BNS? At the end of my high school senior year, my friends and I were looking for an online game to play together, since after being admitted to college there was nothing really to do. It was when CN server BNS launched, so we joined. As I am the only person holding on to it, BNS kinda becomes a part of my life. So I played CN server with 300ms in game ping for 2 years, until NA server launched. YES, I started playing from close beta test in NA.
5, "That must be cool spending parents' money in this game, you Leech" Unfortunately, about 70-80% money I've put into this game are my own, from part time job, stock/endowment investment, etc. Also I've put huge amount of time in this game farming upgrading materials and gold. So don't call me a leech LUL. Since 2018 I am fortunate enough to have a job to pay for all my bills, so I am able spend a bit more on this game :)
6, About Minerva Minerva used to be the alt clan of Archangel, which consists of some major Chinese whales in 2016. However, Archangel had some internal issues, and some players left BNS. Since then, active players assembled in Minerva, and formed one of the largest Chinese player clan on NA server. Clan members are really nice to each other, and we also conquered countless tasks--From BT to VT/SK, TT, ET, and recently IA. If not wrong, our raid 1 was the first raid to clear TT second boss on all western servers, ET 1st + 2nd boss first clear on NA. Starting late April 2020, we will be digging into Iron's Ark, and hopefully can clear it soon--In fact we do!!! Minerva got First-kill of Boss 1 on NA, First-kill of Boss 2 on NA & EU, and First-kill of Boss 3 on NA. Good work boys!!
0, ZERO racism/nsfw/drama allowed 1, Have fun. 2, Make yourselves comfortable. 3, Enjoy my stream and this game.
There are no special rules regarding chats. Be nice to each other, and to me xD.
Please try to keep chat in Chinese/English/Japanese. During 6v6 I may only reply in English or Pinyin, because I remove other languages from language bar to prevent from crash. Also team chat is usually in Mandarin, but I'll shut my mic on Discord and chat in English with you guys occasionally.
