Blade and Soul Chinese Open Beta "Ongoing Series"

Episode 29 How to figure things out for yourself

Now someone told me in comments. That I was not clear on how I figure out things in Blade and Soul. Pretty much this video I explain how. A lot has to do with the excellent English patch Loki Reborn made. But even without it the game helps you.

In most items tool tips, the game will point you in the right direction. So if it's a upgradeable item, you will have a nice hint for it. I use that hint and basically look on the map. Then find the matching symbols in chinese and head to that area. Or in the case It's still not clear. I'll Google search the area and exact item. 

All of this has never failed me all the way to max level. Now that I'm doing it again on the Light side. It's even easier this time around. So I hope all of this helps you out.

I know no one expected this. But here it is my newest series. Blade and Soul Chinese open beta. I'll roll with this as long as I can. I have plenty of ways to figure out what to do. And I already know pretty much how to play. 1080p for all the BNS fans.

    Episode 1 is important. All you guys in North America should take advantage of this.

    I had everything ready to go on the 28th- registered and verified QQ account, game downloaded. But everytime I opened the launcher and tried to click on a server I just got a pop up box with a short message in Chinese and a red clickable that just left me in the same launcher window. I finally got tired of trying and uninstalled it yesterday.

    Episode two for all :)

     

    @Ash

    Sounds like you didn't have the chinese language pack installed on your windows.

    I wish they would just launch it here already.  Seems like such a hassle to play it from NA.

    I would love to play this game no matter what language it is in. However it would appear that it is not compatible with Win 8.1 which sucks.

    Any time this changes I will be downloading it and joining in :)

    It's asking your real name, social security number and address, ofcourse it will only accept chinese ones.

    Lucky for me my GF is chinese and she will set it up for me after work, but sucks for those who has no access to those :/

    8.1 has anti hacking non sense. If you look it up on google you can disable all those measures. Because the programs actually go after innocent things too.

    Episode 3 man I had fun.
  • SilentstormSilentstorm Member UncommonPosts: 1,126
    Got my new Epic weapon on. Sad it took a epic forever fight to make me go get it lol...
  • XiaokiXiaoki Member EpicPosts: 4,045

    The weapon enhancement is probably the most ridiculous system to be ever put into any video game EVER.

    It is pure unadulterated grind for the sake of mind numbing grind.


    Dont believe me? Heres how weapons work in Blade and Soul:

    1. Kill Final Boss Get Box
    2. Use Normal Key until I get my weapon.
    3. Failed to get weapon? Back to Step 1
    4. If I got my weapon, identified it, wrong stats? Back to Step 1
    5. Finally got my Level 1 Axe from the box.
    6. Now I need to level it up to Level 5 with capped exp.
    7. Now that's it is capped, I must level up the weapon it tells me to.
    8. It says I have to level up a PvP Weapon to level 10.
    9. Now I have to farm that weapon by killing a boss and opening boxes again until it drops my Axe (Repeat 1 and 2)
    10. Finally got the Axe PvP Weapon.
    11. I have to level it up to level 5 with capped exp.
    12. I must "limit break" this weapon with another weapon but thankfully it's only up to level 5.
    13. So I Level up my 3rd weapon to Level 5.
    14. I limit break my PvP weapon with that Level 5 weapon + paying a very expensive fee and materials.
    15. Yes, now I can level up my PvP weapon to 10!!!
    16. Now I have to level it up by spending more gold to 10.
    17. After getting my PvP weapon to 10, I can finally feed it to my end game dungeon axe.
    18. I pay the expensive feed again + my PvP weapon + materials again to my Level 5 end game weapon.
    19. Then I can finally level my end game weapon up to 10.
    20. Yay, I did it. Now to repeat the same process with new accessories. T_T
    21. Optional, if you repeat the same steps 1>19 with a different weapon you can fusion perform a fusion limit break which makes it a step closer to legendary.
    22. What's the catch? You will need to level up all those weapons shown in the image above. Godspeed.

    the latency on the chinese servers made me stop playing. It is unbearable to click attack and wait more than 5 seconds to see the attack and then 30 seconds after moving on it rubberbands all the way back.

    :(

     

    EDIT: @Xiaoki, that is horrible. Thank goodness i wont ever need to do that.





  • SilentstormSilentstorm Member UncommonPosts: 1,126

    My ping isn't my issue. I get lag from high speed movements in the game. Causes issues traveling that's it. Make sure you get onto a NA dedicated server.

    Ep.5 is up between

    The equipment feeding system is amazing and it brings game long-term content which seems to lacking in so many western games.

    I much rather take a long process to create my legendary equipment than run a "raid" once a week hoping for a drop, then waiting a week (playing something else) to try this again.

    It's a lot more interesting to put your equipment together bit by bit instead of trying once a week to achieve something and then waiting for the rest of the week.

    Blade and Soul is doing so many things right it's unbelievable awesome.

    Ep.6 is out

    Yea it is really a great game. People complain that the chinese censored it a bit. But whatever I like it either way.

    3 hours of BNS for you fans. I put up part 3 on you tube but the first two parts are on twitch.
  • SilentstormSilentstorm Member UncommonPosts: 1,126
    I had to make some hard cuts considering all the new games coming. BNS was not one of those cuts.
  • SilentstormSilentstorm Member UncommonPosts: 1,126
    It still shocks me wild star is before this game. But I will continue to support it anyway
  • Sk1ppeRSk1ppeR Member Posts: 511
    I played this game in some private server which was reversing some closed beta test client. I was pleasently surprised by the game. Wish that game could come up sooner to NA/EU :/ I've been following it since it got announced for the korean market and knowing NCSoft I thought it would make it in the NA/EU by now :/
