    ah, so you are among those people to just play a game, and then ask the obvious questions all day long, i see :P

    seriously, most of those things are easy to find out while playing imo ^^ if you "didn't know em", maybe start reason those little texts that pop up here and there *G* if it sais "tipp" or "hint", they might actually hint something, or provide you with a tipp for the day hehe

    The MMORPG clan is on Old Man Cho and we're Cerulean Order. :) Very small right now, because we've not been actively recruiting yet.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    By far, not a complete list, but examples I've tried include.  Wakfu, Age of Wulin, Flyff, MapleStory, Vindictus, Dragon Nest, Tera, Aion.


    Wakfu is French

    And since the guild size caps at 50, you're going to stay small. (yes, you can level the guild to raise the cap but it's a slow-going thing that will take weeks and months)

    Only use one set of gear for the whole game, where is the fun in that?

    One thing i dont like in Blade&Soul is when you are in group to do a dungeon if somthings drop and y9ou wanted you have to pay to have it. Its not very cool because the money is hard to get.


    Actually the dungeon loot system is quite unique. The whole party bids on the drop and whom ever wins gets the item & the money then gets split between the party so everyone wins for time and work. System works well and a decent way to make money in dungeons too.

    Gathering is cool to as you only have to discover the item once. It's then permanently in your recipe book and you only have make it. No fishing with a pole, skinning, picking or mining for hours on end. In essence a virtual npc gathers while you game. Sure beats putting aside game time for just gathering like most mmos.

    I played in the Beta for this game, and made a series of videos regarding it. The Arena PvP is the most fun I have had in a long time. However, you really need to be 45 if you are serious about ranked. As for the rest of the game, it has some good and bad parts. I am a PvPer at heart, so I will go through the agony of PvE to get to PvP. If you want to check out my videos you can here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xBcMrZrUbtrTjx4wBEA8RimoTk04uQY.

    your weapon changes appearance as you level it.

    Your other gear is strictly non visual, that's why costumes are a big thing in this game.

    what? u have to pay ingame money to roll on items ?


    Yeah not a fan of this system at all. I think it will be a big negative here in the U.S. I also hear loot doesn't drop from mobs out in the wild you kill. Is this true? If so it will be a first.

    It's horrible. In fact, the whole game is really based on in-game money. You'll run out very quickly if you dip your toes in all the aspects of the game.

    Is this another Asian F2P? Or is there a decent hook? I'm wary of them anymore so I can't see just jumping unless there's a good reason.

    this has GOT to be a troll.

    Don't you requires keys to get a gem? I would check value of keys vs value of gem in marketplace before trying some RNG. You might run out of keys midgame trying to get your purple weapon. Endgame you won't really have problems with keys tough

    Watching the anime on Hulu now, it's pretty good. Edit: If the game is like the TV show though to hell with dungeons. I'll become a chiropractor because all these women must have hurting backs.

    Yes there are a lot of things within BnS that is not explained at all,,, like up grading you soul shields and such. There is a you tube channel that has some good info on things like this.
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDTvRqSj6CVNbTXaRLCN9FA

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l-mM4ObRnM

    and a few others....... This info should be some where in BnS or at least on their you tube!!!!!
  • ScotScot Member LegendaryPosts: 24,429
    Anybody got some You Tube links to "reviews" that do not just consist of a guy saying the likes of "what the fuck" and "That bitch where is she"?

    Absolutely ridiculous, I went online to learn something about the MMO and that's what I found out!

    I like the game overall, the biggest issue I have with it is grinding the first level 20 dungeon 30 times and not get the blight dagger I need to upgrade my weapon.

    "Kill the Ploggle King… A Lot"
    So, you're saying to grind out levels in the worst possible way? No thanks..

    I'm enjoying the game a lot more than I thought I would too. I knew I would have at least a little fun with it because I tried it before, but boy was I wrong. I haven't been able to stop playing it since I got early access. The pvp is really fun, I like having the option of remaining flagged for world PvP, and I've killed pretty much everyone I've fought so far, haven't had this much fun with world PvP since vanilla wow. The weapon leveling with you is a weird thing, I've always seen enchants in games, but never a game where your armor is purely cosmetic and you never really have to get a new weapon, just upgrade your old one. It's alright I guess since it transforms every 10 levels so you aren't always stuck with the same skin. I dunno, if you've been on the fence with this game at all I would say give ita shot.
