Blade & Soul really launches on the 19th?

Well, well. Heh. The WildStar news on the 13th better be freaking spectacular then.

Sounds like a win to me.

B&S is going to be tough to be successful.  It's a grindfest and US market does not like grindfests.  PVP'ers will get upset because to get the best pvp gear you have to pve.  Combat is fast, faster than Wildstar, so people will get upset over that.  Imagine a fighter game in an mmo.  It's a tab target system (sure you can switch targets by moving camera and it autoswitches for you, but still tab target).  Endgame is not big but my understanding it's good for casuals.  Story is hit or miss for some.  
 
It is a robust combat system though.

The counter system sounds a lot like DC Universe, and I was pretty good at that game (after a lot of practice.)
 
Meh. I dunno. I need another toxic MMO community like I need a scabies outbreak.

They have exactly one levelling path, they are keeping their wardrobe feature locked behind the subscription (in a game where they have tons of costumes both in the cash shop and available in game), inventory space is tiny and hard to expand, combat is very ping-dependant, the community is hostile to any change you suggest and want nothing more than a copy-paste from one of the eastern versions.
 
But the combat is plenty fun and the character creator is pretty great.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I wouldn't worry about B&S at all.  WildStar is for an entirely different market (or at least it should be).  B&S crowd is more for those who like very Korean-made MMOs like TERA with action combat.
Also, I'm absolutely not a fan of the creepy fetishized loli jailbait outfits (schoolgirl, maid, etc) in B&S.
TERA Online did the same thing but of course they made a crapton of money out of it.
 
So for me, nope nope nope NOPE.  I'll happily do housing in WildStar if nothing else.

what news on the 13th? there has been no announcement that i know of from WS devs/officials that there will be new information given on the 13th. all we have is the rumor.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Your forum pic would like a word with you....  
 
I actually hated tera's combat, bns' style just seems better imo. 
 
As for the jailbait outfits, then don't make that character or make an effort to single one out.... smh
Sorry if I come off as a douche, and to each their own, but I just find comments like that a little silly....or maybe I need some sleep long overdue for it anyway :P
----
			
So, I take it we're all gonna go Red Team? HAHAHAHAH.
 
I just cain't get behind all the Law and Order crap. :lol:
 
I like the look o' them big, burly dudes. Probably go that route. The bunny-people and Torine-wannabes have no appeal and the pasty-faced humans ain't really my cup o' tea.
 
Still dunno about classes. Maybe that Destroyer one? I need something melee-fied.	
----
			
The creator is flexible enough that you can make non-pasty faces...I think. Not sure what a pasty-face is.
 
Destroyer is very damage oriented. They pick up enemies and headbut them to recover health. They can also spin around to use them as clubs. Their problem is that their defensive block has a long cooldown and doesn't come early, unlike the other melee classes. But they have enough health and I think their self-healing capabilities are probably better than the others (except for Summoner). 
Basically, they brute force their way to victory. Quite simple to play and not that ping dependant.	
----
			Looking forward to both the 13th and the 19th. Definitely interested in whatever news Carbine is cooking. I love this game to pieces, despite (or perhaps in spite of?) its faults. I of course intend to play BnS (I've enjoyed the betas and love the character creation), but I currently also play GW2 on top of WildStar, so adding another MMO to cycle in every so often really doesn't change much. ^^ Gonna make a Yun forcemaster to start, and a Lyn bladedancer. But I've got a lot of character presets saved for additional slots, too (lots of screenshots posted here!). >_<;;;

			Pasty-face is just "pale" ... and since the website is (honestly) my only exposure to the game, one set of humans looks swarthy and buff, the other looks paler and scrawnier.Now, if that's just the character creator and skin tone and burliness isn't innate to the racial profile, then groovy.

Alrighty, so I've been watching videos. PVP looks *freaking AMAZEBALLS fun* ... the PVE looks like PVE in every other game, so that's just "meh" at best.
 
But the graphics look nice. I like the Asian/Martial Arts vibe. I beta'd "Age of Wulin" but that game was soooooo slow and bad it hurt my brains. This looks nothing like that.
 
I dunno. I see only the Pasty Humans can be Assassins, and stealth is like  - my favoritest thing in gaming. So I guess Pasty Ninja Tex will be a thing.  :lol:	
----
			
Why are we advertising Blade and Soul in the Wildstar gen forums? I get that sometimes we drift and talk about other games but this is a bit far gone, no?
Definitely not needed right now.	
----
			
*shrug* figured it'd get moved eventually to off-topic, but loosely related as it's basically a sister/brother company in a way. There just isn't much to discuss since (at least to me) the intent of the thread was speaking on how BnS is releasing soon and the press conference supposedly on the 13th will have more information. What that info is, we don't really know for sure...then it...turned into this lol
 
@Tex, I think most of your aesthetic preferences will be solved when you get a chance to take a crack at the character creator, think theres even a few videos on it. Launch version is I believe up to date with the taiwan creator(someone correct me if im wrong). I'll be doing name reservation which i beleive involves creating a character, if you'd like me to look into certain options for you, be happy to.

Yeah, this should probably be in Off-Topic. I am sure the OP had other plans in mind when he started, but we seem to have diverged.
 
Again.   :lol:	
----
			
Not intending to invest heavily into it but mostly on Wildstar down-times. I heard some folks having a fun time poking at going to the same server?
 
Some curious Final Frontier folks looking into it and I think it'd be fun to be on the same server as people we/I know on this side of the game fence. Better than all strangers, for sure!	
----
			Heck yeah, once early launch hits (just about to buy my initiate pack so I'll be there!) first one to post a thread with a server name wins!  :lol:

			This thread derailed quickly...	
----
			I've heard the combat is awesome so that's what I'll be trying. Otherwise I don't really have any interest at all in BnS XD.	
----
			
Yeah, been reading reviews and watching videos. I'll give it a whirl, but at this point, I think I'll pass on the early release pack. I dunno. Maybe I'll watch some more and see if it changes my mind. I understand it only has one leveling path for everyone - and as an admitted Altoholic, I can't see myself playing through the same zones more than a couple of times, no matter what class/faction I'm playing. Still, it's very pretty and I dig the heck out of the combo-based combat.
 
So I'll check it out, probably mid-week after it goes public. I know better than to trust NCSoft servers for a least 7-10 days once a game goes live.  :lol:

Im going to pass on the whole B&S  thing as I had actually played the Russian version with one of these English translation packs tacked on.  The ping wasn't great which is why I tried it out again when NA beta hit as I managed to get an invite for it but it still wasn't for me.  
 
To me it looked just like Aion with the similar looking toons and similar icons for quests and instead of gliding with wings I glided with my arms out. If you then slap action combat onto Aion and keep with there combo style system and give it some fancy animations you suddenly come up with B&S fighting. Although combat is fun in beta I couldn't even bind my mouse buttons so it was off putting to me as I like to have my keybinds in a certain way. 
 
I am still having fun in Wildstar as I still have plenty to do and I have my subscription till April and a good few more alts and other content to work through. So I shall still be here for a while unless something drastic happens like more of these cash shop events.

			Tried the beta, wanted to like BnS but the art style and classes just don't do it for me.	
----
			Well the installer For B&S is up guys

Just wanna chime in with some important points about Blade & Soul:
 
The FOV (field of view) is locked at ~60ish or so and is not able to be changed.  The FOV also changes frequently in combat and while air-walking.  The camera rotates 'cinematically' while air walking and moving from point to point during certain sequences, but when it moves it does so fairly rapidly and in my experience may lead to motion sickness.
 
I personally can't play anything with an FOV under 80, at MINIMUM and preferably closer to 90 is my ideal FOV.
WildStar has an FOV slider and I cannot be loud enough in expressing how awesome that is to see in any recent PC games (let alone an MMO).  Kudos to Carbine for putting in the FOV slider and integrated mouselook settings so we don't have to depend on an addon for it anymore.
There are many fantastic internet videos about FOV, what it is, and how it affects those who participate in gaming.
 
To respond to an earlier post, I find it difficult to ignore the loli fetish jailbait outfits when nearly everyone around me in high-population areas is a little female Lyn wearing such an outfit.
If the previous foreign and localized betas that I participated in were any indication, the overwhelming majority of the playerbase will exclusively play female Lyn and that isn't something I'd want to deal with again.
 
I already dealt with this situation with Elin in TERA and it wasn't a pleasant experience.  My tolerance for it has greatly diminished to near-zero after TERA released the Kindergarden schoolgirl fetish outfit for Elins.  No thanks, that seriously creeps me out.
 
For a r/l comparision, certain things also creep me out and also creep out others as well.  Standards depend on the person and on the social circles they associate with.
The oversexualization of young kids (possibly-NSFW images) and girls in particular has bled over from 'non-reality' into actual reality and it sickens me.  But that's just my personal take on it.
 
I tend to want to play video games to enjoy them and not to have to deal with stuff like this.  WildStar fits the bill for me specifically because it doesn't have any 'kids' in the game at all.
Even if they were to be added, I would hope they would be dressed in sensible outfits and confined to non-war areas when possible.  Nexus is an open warzone and children have no business being there.
 
If others can tolerate things like that, then more power to them.  I just felt like pointing out that particular point for those who may be unaware of the aesthetics that the game provides.
 
According to early NcSoft financial results since the Korean launch of B&S (and other territories), it still makes barely as much money as Guild Wars 2 or Lineage 2.  I'd say this Western release is their last-ditch effort so that B&S doesn't end up flopping.  Maybe they're trying to lure people away from TERA since the Elin & Lyn are indistinguishable if you do -3 thighs on the Elins.
 
Despite my concerns, I do hope that B&S doesn't flop because that would likely affect other games including WildStar.  So have at it.

Well when you grew up watching all the karate kids and loving bruce lee (and I know some of this universe as it relates to bns), this was a shoe in for me with the kfm.  As for the aesthetics, I mostly look past that for the combat.

Yeah, the jiggle-factor doesn't bother me one way or another. I like bouncy-flouncy as much as the next guy, but it's never been a deal-breaker for me, for or against.
 
The PVE, as I said earlier, looks strictly "meh" ... but the PVP combat looks like a crapload of fun. Sadly, my "twitch" days are long behind me, so I'll probably be just as awful at it as I am at WildStar, Battlefront and GTAV. :lol:
 
And yeah, Ico, I am jazzed for ALL the news coming out this week. Honestly, I just hope that the WildStar news isn't over-shadowed or pushed to the peripheral in lieu of the BLADE AND SOUL HYPE TRAIN HYPE TRAIN BLADE AND SOUL!!!! news.

			I played the Taiwanese release of BnS while I was living there last year... I really thought I would like it... I was pretty disappointed :/ It's deffinatly a KMMO, and now that I've been spoiled with the leveling in SWTOR and WS, I can't drag myself back to grind hell...	
----
			B&S combat is fun, but unless they release the next patch quick, people will get burnt out fast on it.  Not alot of endgame PVE content in max lvl 45 content.  Think 6 solo dungeons, and 1 big dungeon that is 24/6/4.  Top rate PVP, but pvp in NA is dominated by Moba, and with best gear for PVP being PVE gear, well, going to upset a few PVP crowds.  I hope the game gets a good following, I enjoy playing it, fun combat.

Plus with body sliders, you can drop down the, uh, jiggle. xD Plus, I can take awesome action shots in this game yay!
 
Regardless, feel free to get in-touch in-game. Not sure if I'll actually get the name(s) I'm planning on, but we'll see haha.

Well looks like my guild's going to take the free play pass to Jiwan server and try the game out.
 
I don't suspect to play long either (I lasted in Skyforge long as I did because of friends from Wildstar and their guild) but it's worth looking at it for a filler MMO when I need a small Wildstar break/there's downtime. That said, I'm well over the oversexualized look and clothing. I appreciate Wildstar for what it does and what it's looking to do with character looks (with some odd choices here and there of course). Sometimes you just wanna throw on a damn shirt and jeans, not skintight leather or a battlekini.

Panchiro is pretty much a deal-breaker for me. I get that it's a convention of martial arts movies that the little-kid ninjas beat the squat out of everybody -- but if you design one of your game's races/species/whatever to look like pre-teen girls and then package them in deliberately sexualized outfits and then go out of your way to pose them so that their underwear is showing as often as possible, then I don't want your game anywhere near my hard disk, to the point where it creeps me out every time I notice that I can't log into Wildstar's forums without also logging into the forums for the same company's (basically) soft-core kiddy-porn MMO. I'm not 100% convinced that Blade & Soul is even legal in the United States; I have no idea what NCsoft is thinking.
 
Jiggle physics isn't a deal-breaker for me. But, well, contrast the first teaser trailer for Wildstar with the first teaser trailers for Blade & Soul. Wildstar's first teaser trailer dropped pretty big hints for the story while showing off what turned out to be actual game-play -- stylized, yes, but once the game came out you could recognizably see that those first three characters in the trailer were an Aurin esper scientist, a Granok warrior soldier, and a Human spellslinger explorer, all running path missions much like the ones that showed up in the actual game. Blade & Soul? Its teaser trailer showed very little actual combat, no actual missions or story, and was over 50% close-ups of bouncing breasts and pre-teen up-skirts. That's why I keep comparing it to Scarlet Blade: this is a game whose own marketing people treat it as if it has nothing to sell but sex appeal -- and, at that, the kind of juvenile stuff that's mostly only sexy to 16 year old boys.

Heh, so I got an early-access pack, but ended up busy all weekend until today. So, I am downloading it right now, finally. Oh well, free money to NCSoft, I guess. Shame.
 
Anyway, go take a look at their forums right now. It's is nothing but endless crying and drama because a couple of popular servers have long-ass queues and people are waiting hours without getting in. Man, it's like reading through this forums right after BOTH of WildStar launches. I swear, it's the same cavalcade of screaming weenies, wailing "THIS IS 2016! Y R THAR QS? GG NCSOFT Y UR SERVERS SO BAD?!?!?!"
 
 :lol:  :lol:
 
Truly, game communities truly are all the same.

			Their hardcore defenders are a bit different, though. They don't talk about being HARDCORE! but they talk about how the game is perfect as it is and quickly congregate to shoot down any and ALL changes. They also even complained about changes that were done to make the game more suitable for the West.

The crap thing for the player base is literally all we know right now is that a new raid tier isn't coming in Drop 7 AND have absolutely no idea what will or when it's even coming.
 
The only thing we do know is that Carbine is releasing store content and events that have progressively become more heavily tied to the store to actually participate in. Shades Eve and Christmas were ok, Boss Hunter wasn't as bad as some people make out because even though you had to spend money to participate, you got rewarded well ingame with gold and gear from the boss kills. Space Chase is a few bits of decor (that I'm sure quite a decent percentage of players don't care about) and everything else behind an RNG paywall. TERRIBLE. I haven't done a singe adventure so far.
 
Carbine can't just pump out content for the store in a game BEGGING for some ACTUAL content and expect people to be like "yeah I'll spend up in the store in the vain hope something is coming to make me want to continue actually playing the game".
 
I'm not planing on spending any money on a game, that as far as the player base knows, has no plans for the future. Most other MMO's have done their "coming plans for the year" letters by now yeah?

The crap thing for the player base is literally all we know right now is that a new raid tier isn't coming in Drop 7 AND have absolutely no idea what will or when it's even coming.
 
The only thing we do know is that Carbine is releasing store content and events that have progressively become more heavily tied to the store to actually participate in. Shades Eve and Christmas were ok, Boss Hunter wasn't as bad as some people make out because even though you had to spend money to participate, you got rewarded well ingame with gold and gear from the boss kills. Space Chase is a few bits of decor (that I'm sure quite a decent percentage of players don't care about) and everything else behind an RNG paywall. TERRIBLE. I haven't done a singe adventure so far.

Well, the game is strictly "okay" so far. Certainly nothing to write home about. I started over a couple of times, trying out different classes and races. Questing is easy, once you figure out all the different icons and screen clutter. 
 
Meh. I don't feel I wasted my money, but they most likely won't get getting much (if any) more of it. 
 
Come on, WildStar! Impress me, babies!  :lol:
