[helloresolven]

Got my two names on Mushin, Fells (Assassin) and Fellsi (Force Master). Honestly Assassin is only class I'm going to play, but figured I'd snag the secondary name for when I delete it and try out the new classes (whenever that is).

 

[Kintaro]

I'm trying to reserve a name but keeps saying servers are down. =(

Are you trying it off the retail client or CBT?

 

[Kitoro]

Wanted Vela and Kito. Scored Vela, but Kito and Kit were both taken. Gave my Lyn fiery black ears and tail and named him Toto. Good enough.

I rushed so fast that I barely used any of the custom sliders aside from height and proportions. I'm happy with how they turned out, though!

 

[anothertech]

What is the day of the actual release for headstarters, that don't get to reserve a name? Is it the same as everyone else?

15th, yeah

 

[SDBurton]

Just a heads up, the discord link is now up! Click on the Discord logo in the OT and you'll enter the Blade&Soul GAF server where Shin, myself, and others are hanging out at.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

That's certainly some Hyung-Tae Kim artwork.

His artstyle is actually pretty goofy, he's heard of the idea of human proportions but wants nothing to do with it lol

 

[ramuh]

Excited for this.

 

[Kintaro]

I downloaded the client thats on the headline on the official website.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

Are the classes sufficiently martial artsy? Obviously the Kung Fu class is, but the rest of the classes just look like generic fantasy MMO classes.

That is the right one, not sure what the issue is then. Sorry :/

The Assassin, Blade Master, and Blade Dancer are. They have some pretty flashy swordplay moves.

 

[Reszo]

Cant wait to finally play this in English. I played the Chinese version for a bit but the more leveled i got the more the lag was noticeable on my combos.

I wish we had Warlock.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Name reservation is for Founders pack only. Do you have one?

 

[ShinMaruku]

I have recording of my assassin for people who are interested in them.

Mushin

Says Discord in the OT no...?

 

[SDBurton]

That's our voice client/server, the game server we're on is Mushin.

Ah ok,its a little confusing in the OT...thanks,wont be on till the next week.

 

[SDBurton]

Gotcha. I have the game server listing near the top of the OT as well as the faction we're rolling with just in case.

 

[Gormenghast]

Are there any patch plans about this or goals?

Or is this another of those that will be pretty much over in 3-12 months?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Wait so the CBT client won't update itself to final?

 

[Qvoth]

200+ ping
guess i'll be skipping this :<

Just download the .exe file and choose US.

29ms.

Yay.

 

[LowParry]

Negatory. You need to download the new client.

 

[Zand]

Was able to get "Baam" but not "Rachel" but I'm ok with that. =)

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Negatory. You need to download the new client.

Oh alright, thanks! That's a first for a NCSoft game isn't it? That's why it takes me by surprise.

 

[Murdamonk]

Will play it on PC, but wish there will be a console version of this game sometime down the line.

After 3 years?

Seriously Doubt it. It would be awesome if they did though.

The number 1 reason why you buy this game:

What about stuff like this beatdown though?

 

[RellyRell28]

I may look into this game since it has controller support. Nice to see you can create a female with a big booty unlike FFXIV. I see this is an arpg which is also a plus

 

[Kintaro]

Name reservation is for Founders pack only. Do you have one?

Ah, I see it now. I have an Initiate pack. Ah well. Shame there doesn't seem to be a way to pay the difference to upgrade.

[Baalzebup]

Aaand done.

Yun Blade Master Dienina and Gon Force Master Lightsong created on US - Mushin and EU - Windrest. Both tall and bootylicious.

I'm trying to see if I could use a booster or something to bring my ping to anywhere near 100 on the NA servers. 150+ seem a bit too much for a fast game like this.

 

[ShinMaruku]

What about stuff like this beatdown though?

Because it's gonna get removed from the game.

So this game is the source of this gif? Interesting.

 

[SixMachine]

Damn, I wanted to name my character Vincent Vega

Spoiler

on a Lyn

but they don't have the right hairdo!

At least I got Linn Kurosawa, even though there isn't a ponytail that looks like hers, so I just did something with black hair.

 

[Paprikka]

If you were curious if a certain name was taken http://na-bns.ncsoft.com/ingame/bs/character/search/info? looks to have been updated with the initial round of reservations.

 

[Lamiafusion]

Got Fusion on Mushin...looking forward to checking this out

 

[Rurunaki]

Getting "debugger error"

 

[SixMachine]

Ok, I made a Jin Assassin named Linn Kurosawa and a Lyn Blade Dancer named Vincent Vega on Mushin. Vincent Vega doesn't look too much like Travolta, he just looks kind of chubby actually, so I guess it's Hairspray Travolta. He still looks clueless as hell though.

 

[Corpekata]

The FAQ image is kind of hard to read between the busy image and font choice (though someone asked and answered the main question I couldn't read well, the level cap).

This is useful, thank you!

 

[nikos]

Great OT! Really looking forward to the game. I'd love to play with you guys, but the Crimson Legion may be calling me. Anybody joining that faction?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Your faction literally doesn't matter in this game except to determine which half of the server's population is hostile to you. It's basically Red vs. Blue. Just roll with GAF faction, which is apparently going to be Blue.

 

[InvertedComposer]

Alright I'll bite

How does this game compare to PSO2? I'm looking for more actiony and less carrot on a stick content.
Also looking for a class that can get away with a lot of mistakes like Fiona(Counter/TankNSpank Playstyle) in Vindictus but able to bring their DPS to the table.
Or just outright heal yourself because :v

 

[RellyRell28]

The more I'm looking into this game the more I'm interested. I downloaded it probably won't be able to put any money into this right away. This will but the first game that I'll make a female character(for reasons displayed on the first page) with as I didn't do it in FFXIV and in Marvel Heroes you can't create a player.

I found the Blade Master to be very satisfying in just such a role. You can work some abilities to heal you, even on block if you invest some points to it. They can also still dish out a decent amount of damage.

It actually got a bit silly when I got a Drain Life on Crit gem in the Beta and then boosted my crit rates on the DPS-heavy Draw-stance. It boosted both my self-healing and my damage output by a rather ludicrous decree considering it was just a single socket item.

 

[InvertedComposer]

I see, I will definitely try that class out. Though I'm having conflicting feelings choosing this game as my main mmo due to the release of black desert online in NA as well. Though atleast blade and soul is f2p so that is that.

What does this game have over black desert online? I researched that this is more comparable to Tera, while BDO is more vindictus.

 

[Haly]

I played in a beta weekend and couldn't get into it. Gonna try again.

Maybe it was just because Monk was kind of boring. Why can't I make Lyn Monks/Assassins? NCSoft plz.
