    I checked the game out and used MORT to translate my way through it. Its a fun game. Very anime which its not shy about hiding. Worried about how it will be handled as a f2p game by Amazon. But the combat was unique and the art direction can either come off as cheap to many, feels gorgues and impressive for those who can appreciate. Really very unsure about this coming to the west but I'm hopeful it will be handled well

    What discord server? As far as I know there haven't been any ban waves yet. 

    There might be bans based on IP eventually, but I've been logged in all day before and after maintenance, no VPN, no ban either. And if it did happen, I wouldn't be that broken up about it, it's really not worth playing it rn imo.

    Or, you could have patience for which you don't need anything and wait until it comes out over here. A shocking idea I know. :)

    Why would I wait for it to come over here when its being ran by Amazon, the literal worst company ever to manage a game? If you want to play the game unbutchered your best bet is to play on JP. Amazon will run BP into the ground just like they have for every other game they've touched. Expecting anything else is cope.

    I am part of that discord and I haven't seen that at all. 



    I've heard rumors of people getting banned. Both with and without VPN. But I don't know anyone that has and I haven't and I'm using no VPN and the English patch too

    There have been a lot of people stating they've been banned FOR using a VPN too. Check the discord, people are being banned for a lot of reasons. Whether or not you use a VPN doesn't matter at this point.

    Just a thought but could it be peeps are getting banned due to reports from in game for being gaijin?

    I mean it's not hard to look at IP and see where you are logging in from or to see if someone is using a vpn once a reports comes in stating you only speak eng/french etc

    Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.

    I waited for the release of this game since 2020 and now I'm very, VERY disappointed because the global release has NO SEA SERVER!!! Not to mention the global released was pushed to 20-freaking-24. It's Bandai's grave mistake to opt out other Asian countries. What's even worse is that they ban international players from playing in the only JP server. What a way to kill the excitement. Gonna pass this game now. Bummer.

    Welcome to the forums!

    I do realise my welcomes can seem a little adrift after your angst, but new peeps always get one. :)
