Seems like games are old news by the time they launch.
Some folks keep saying this game is too old, they waited too long, or there just not interested any more. Well I didnt wait I played it, and it has by far the best action combat in any mmorpg I have played. It just blows games like Raiderz, Tera, vindictus and others out the water.
Only real issue I had with it was inventory size, unless you buy on cash shop. I hope NCsoft are different but I doubt it.
It is grindy yea, but guess what every game is a grind you just have the impression that doing loads of quests is not grinding. When it is, with more depth.
Enjoy this game when it launches, it is a lot of fun, and easy on the eyes.
OK, the big question is- which class is most OP in pvp? Anyone who has played have an opinion?
Oh yeah, also anyone know which classes handle best with high ping? I generally have around 250-300ms with some spikes.
One other thing- can you play a male Lynn? In the manga there were male Lynn, but every video of the game I see the Lynn are female.
Only Yun are gender locked (Female) based on this site:

Every class is good in PvP if you use it right. I know this gets said a lot but in BnS this is very true. It is all about pressing the right buttons at the right time.
From my experience on the Chinese server, anything higher than 200ms is unplayable due to the severe rubberbanding and delays. This game, with the fast paced action combat, is very demanding on having a good ping, which imho is below 100ms. Luckily the CN version has an official programme that reduces your ping by quite a lot, not sure if the NA version will have that.
Yes there are male Lyns, only the Kun race is gender locked.
Yes you can play a male Lynn, they are just really rare as Asians tend to like their female counterparts.

As for Op classes, all the classes are balanced, there really isn't any op class, although those summoner cats are annoying as hell in pvp.
AS for high ping, don't play kung fu master or blade master if you have high ping, they are a tanking class and you need to pull off allot of combos to make that happen.
Force Master and Summoner are good for players with high ping as you don't need to use combos to pull off as much as the other classes.
Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
Judging by JDis25's remark, can I assume this is/has PvE play and not world PvP (ie.. I'm marked PvP wether I want to be or not)?
Ive always hated asian mmos stupid difficully settings on each character as it just makes the game even less encouraging and making new players NOT want to play what they want 100%.
Ugh..asian mmos...
It does have World PvP, it's optional though. It also has highly competitive 1v1 Arena at max level for those that are into it.
Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
