So finally B&S will release this winter. It looks like a dead game suddenly comes back to life. If I remember correctly the game is announced in like 2008 and it keeps NA players waiting for 7 years. I am curious of how many people are still going to play this game.
Comments
One of my friends is incredibly excited to get his hands on blade & soul, so I'll probably join in and play together.
i'm pretty curious about how combat will feel, can't really tell from videos.
I just hope it wont lock me in place like Tera did, starting my archer there in beta and being locked into place right away was pretty much an instant quit for me.
the game will be less grindy in western release as thats what theyre trying to aim for as they know the chinese grind will turn away players in the western market
Its a double edged sword to me.
I want to play it but i dont want the tactics ncsoft used to be seen as successful so others copy it either.
I remember checking B&S out so very long ago and putting it on the todo list. But that was back when I was less cynic.
WILL TICKET RESPONSE BE GOOD?
I've been treated badly by every mmorpg I've ever touched. ArenaNet GW2 has been taking good care of this customer. I don't want to return to an mmo that doesn't answer my emails or forum posts with positive results. I know it's NCSOFT but even other games they own don't live up. It's not like GW2 doesn't have problems but they fix what they can when I engage support tickets! I was really getting tired of playing games where what I thought didn't matter.
WILL IT BE BOX TO PAY?
B2P is def the most relaxing payment plan ever. I can crap out $60 on a rare occasion but monthly commitment is a NO. I'm lucky if I can come up with enough for the internet bill and it sometimes means no eating for me.
High cash shop prices are offensive. What idiot sets the prices in cash shops? It's f*ing cyber pixels you are selling for gods sake! It's not like you had to hire men to box heavy items and ship them overseas! Good God you could charge 2 cents for everything in a cash shop and profit more for fact that everyone is buying it. High pricing does not equal profit idiots idiots idiots.
F2P is a joke and a lie and at best miss named - someone somewhere is going to pay. F2P restrictions are more offensive than a telemarketer.
WILL IT RESPECT THE PVE ONLY COMMUNITY?
So many beautiful mmo's I've had to walk away from because they can't respect that I don't want ganked.
ETCETERA
Will it have variety in gameplay, clothing, rp'ing, char creation, housing, raids, fun content, etc etc etc etc?
1. I love Wuxia!
2. It still looks good compared to most games on the market even at this time
3. I love Wuxia
4. I liked the anime
Yes, there first day. I am taking the game as is a beautiful popcorn beat em up mmo no different than Vindictus which I also found fun as a second mmo.
Any mmo worth its salt should be like a good prostitute when it comes to its game world- One hell of a faker, and a damn good shaker!
Having tried it on in other countries oh yes. I like it's combat. Better than tera's and the world feels less stupid and dead than tera's. It's a martial arts eastern style action mmo with a few twists I like. That and the landscapes are pretty.
I have to agree it is very good game for a gamepad moreso for some of the classes than others.
pls explain. can you play it on a ps4 controller? also which classes are better for controller?
i dont know if it will have native controller support but if not you can always use Xpadder. For the PS4 controller you can use DS4 Tool. I use it all the time on PC.
Thanks, you just answered something I'd been wondering about as well.
I figured it wouldn't be a full PvP gankfest since I've seen people commenting on the story, and calling it a themepark, but I didn't have confirmation until now.
More on topic: I might play it. The chances of me playing it now are better than when the game was originally meant to launch and I was furious with NCSoft over what they did with CoH.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

Yes, the amount of time that has gone by since announcement means nothing to me.

Game is F2P in NA/EU, can't talk about the cash shop price yet, but people who played the Russian/Chinese version might have an idea of what there is in it.
PvP is 100% consensual.
As for the ETCETERA, I have no idea, I'm trying to find a list of features in the game without much success outside of race/classes.
Heh, similarly here. Been interested in, though not heavily following, B&S for a few years now.
Why not, I'm very keenly interested in Wuxia games and while this is not on my most anticipated list, it might surprise me.
It's not like I currently have any other games that I have committed to. I'm not even sure that Moonlight Blade online, which I'm most interested in currently, will ever release in the West.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
Is the game heavily instanced or is the world seamless.
