Blade & Soul Winter Launch Confirmed - English, French, German

[Professor Cena]

i really wonder what made them wait so fvcking long to release it lol
3 years ago this was hyped to shit and would probably have made them so much fvcking money but now i think its gonna have less players than wildstar

[Kitoshi]

I think he's just saying that a lot of games try pay to play but can't do it. Wildstar and Tera being examples.

Well ya, I got that link, but considering it was being linked directly to NCsoft, that's something I didn't quite get.

Put on your critical thinking cap here. You can do it.

Like I said above, I got that you meant p2p's going into f2p, but I just thought you were directly linking it to NCsoft, which made no sense to me.

How's the combat in the game?
Is it more like RaiderZ or Tera or neither?

Also is it hard, I don't want to play it if I can breeze through all the content.

Combat feels a lot like guild wars 2, so not even close to tera, let alone c9 (c9 is miles away).

you have a crosshair like Tera, free target. you can also dodge casted aoes/skills, but not normal attacks like in tera.

skill animations lock you in place for most of them, not sure if they changed that over the years.

raids and hard dungeons require party play, but almost anything can be soloed.

can't believe it's finally happening, I pretty much gave up hope on seeing a western release after no official updates for 2.5 years

I can't wait to play this with low ping, if I don't get into the summer beta I'm going to flip all the tables

btw they are going to be livestreaming about it tomorrow at 10AM PDT here: http://www.twitch.tv/bladeandsoul

Bout time.

[Imperidal]

This game was hyped for far too long already. Wouldve been alot better if this was released few years back.

Considering we dont have any worthy F2p to play these days.. This might as well be a good time.

Anyone have a link to the twitch stream? I had to go to work right before it started, and can't find it in Past Broadcasts.. Please don't tell me it's gone forever..!

Thanks. My bad.. I totally got confused and thought it started today. xD! Luckily I don't work tomorrow.

Wasn't exactly waiting, but I'll try it out when it comes out.

If you guys want to chat, come onto the Twitch chat for the BNS channel. It's full of people talking about BNS and plenty of other MMOs. xD.. It's a good time in my opinion.

EDIT: 9:54PM PDT - Omeed Dariani - Director of Community for NCSoft is answering questions in chat right now!

I saw somewhere that ncsoft's profits are kinda low, so it wasnt a big surprise. IMO they've already missed the hype train...

[Grable]

They definitely missed the release by years with this game, however all other MMOs being shit currently will work in their favour.
