gaming Blade & Soul

Wow, I'm surprised this game hasn't been posted yet. It came out in America a few days ago officially, and it is honestly the most fun I've had in an MMO in a while. The writing is superb, but the voice acting is extremely sub par. I recommend just reading as you progress in the story. Post your characters down below and discuss if you've been playing this game. If not, you should! It's free to play. Que times are ridiculous at the current state due to popularity, but if you stay logged in you won't have to deal with the load in.

 

My character in the Poharan server!

I thought about trying it out, but I only messed with the character creator so far (Was thinking Lyn blade dancer). I couldn't really find out too much about the game besides talk about its pvp and combat by extension. Still, I'm wondering if the pve content is there or if the focus is just largely on arena pvp.

Nah man, the story is top notch. You can do plenty without even touching PvP. It's just a huge esport in Korea, which is why people in NA are so into it right now.

Actually I've been thinking about playing it.

So tried it out for real this time, on Taywong, I think. Anyway, got to about level 15 or so. The combat is interesting ( and it was kinda funny to see random people fighting each other in town and whatnot), but man, it's so awkward for me. Never been good with keyboard controls.

 

Oh and I also have to say that the gear and items and whatnot really confuse me. Pretty much everything that drops is locked or sealed and you have to get keys from somewhere which I'm guessing is some other rng aspect with something else.

 

You get so little money at the start too. I reach level 15 or so and try to buy some food... but it costs all the coin I have on hand. Crazy. Maybe they made it that way to discourage gold selling bots, but it's a bit of a nuisance still.
