I was thinking the same thing. These guys are taking the "it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up" a little too far... sometimes you just gotta stay down so you don't keep getting the sh*t kicked out of you.
This game was bought buy a different dev team and have sunk allot of work into this game. Streamer who have played it have said its not the same game.
It may be a different team (which is not, bucause most of the people that worked on Bless, worked on this), the problem is that it has the same father company, which was tha main issue of Bless. But don't worry, someone will find bug to get rich and they won't roll back or fix anything to try to balance the game again, so people abusing bug will get stronger and stronger, while you have to suffer inflation
I won't fall for the trap again and i won't trust this studio anymore after they failed and lied on every front for selling Bless.
So which is it? Are they the same?
Is it the same world? Same maps? Same structures? Same quests? Same races and classes? And if you're answering these questions, do you REALLY know (as in you've played both games) or are you just assuming?
I know there are a number of games that just keep releasing the exact same game over and over with different names and stuff, but it kind of sounds like that is NOT the case here after reading various articles about it.
I played the ps4 beta a week or two ago and none of the things i saw there were in Bless. Map, story, npcs, combat, abilities. I played a mage here, and I also played a mage in Bless and it was different as well. Of course if was only a limited beta so I don't know if at some point you would get to areas from the original Bless, but i doubt it. It felt like a completely new game. I actually enjoyed this one. From the original Bless i literally only liked the mage class, the rest of the game was meh. EDIT: it's probably the same universe, but that's it. I didn't find any other connection to old Bless. We will see after release if there's anything else similar.
Having seen the footage from Xbox gameplay I decided to try out the PS4 version, and to my surprise it was delightful. It was the game it should have been given to us as Bless Online. It wasn't, but now it is.
I had luck by joinning the PC stress test of the game that ended today. And once again I was surprised. It was a huge success, no crashes, no bugs that I could see, and hundreds of people in small zones with no lag or frame drop whatsoever. It worked even better than in PS4. While it retains much of the asthetics such armor and stuff, this is definately not Bless Online. Its much better. If you liked Bless Online you'll like and probably love this game. This is a totally different game that was Bless Online
To all of you in the fence about playing the game in PS4 or PC in the future just watch Xbox gameplay. Its the same. If you like what you see, play it. Its free. You don't have to buy founders packs.
Me? I can't wait until the PC version comes out, because well, there is nothing in the horizon. Even if ELYON comes out, it will probably play better due to Unreal Engine 4. Hell I might even just jump on PS4 until the PC version comes out.
