$200 founders pack and "premium customer service". LUL

True. Except with the death of EQNext, the western MMO market is dead as fuck with zero AAA MMOs coming out or even in development. So shitty eastern MMO ports is all we get anymore. If it is like Tera or BnS there is at least a slight chance it might be decent.

Thanks for the link. The site crashed almost instantly at 1 PM Eastern Lol.

Yeah, how the hell does this name reservation work? The website is super vague.

Brawler class was just released. The class is pretty damn fun. The blocking while attacking mechanic is OP as fuck but it does making tanking a lot more interesting. I'm curious is this will solve the issue with lack of tanks.

STO Combat Meter (SCM) from the dps channels is a good parser. Aux2bat it still decent, but it is falling out of popularity a bit now. All the new starship traits that reduce cool downs (All hands on deck, reciprocity, etc) make it less needed. Plus the Nukara traits and some consoles...

Been playing this off and on lately. The space combat is still pretty damn fun. The PvE episodes have certainly improved since I last played. Ground combat is still pretty terrible though. The new admiralty system is nice. Seems like the wow garrison with with spaceships. Though you don't...

The BnS questing is indeed the same shitty kill/collect quests you've done in every other MMO. I leveled to about 25 in the China version and the quest grind was real. The game does have a few things to help keep it somewhat interesting: - New ability every few levels that usually unlocks some...

I agree. Its amazing how little MMOs have advanced in the last 4 years. I've played the BnS china version and it has held up quite well over the years. Having 4 years of content would actually be a good thing to bring at launch. Plus, the MMO market is wide open right now. The western MMO...

Given the higher level founder pack comes with 7200 Ncoin ($90) its not that bad of a deal for what else you get (assuming you would actually use all that Ncoin). At least Ncoin is good for all NCsoft games (including Wildstar once it goes FTP).

Arcane Barrage. It is reset by Replenishment. On top of its insane damage is the fact you can detonate the orb behind the target to get back crits from any position making it even more op. Funny thing is that the ability was already nerfed a bit in the last patch and it is still absurdly...

Throw in FFXIVs music and art direction and you've got a deal. MMO design ala cart, I like it!

The game is pretty fun, but I agree the combat is a bit floaty. I do like the how combos work, but the semi-tab targeting is annoying. I like the sphere grid advancement system also. I'm starting to feel that these hybrid tab target combat systems with zero animation lock are inherently...

On the NA side they did just have a big content patch also. Go Berserk | TERA They did a nice job on the zerker tanking. The warrior buffs are insane (including the tanking buffs). The new PvP deathmatch map is pretty fun also. Pretty solid patch actually. I still come back to this game...

Yeah this was in K-tera so it will probably be a good six months before we get it. Although en masse does seem a little better at porting stuff over than most other publishers. As an altaholic I very much appreciate the new character screen. I wish more MMO's would give your alts a physical...

New class was announced (Vi anyone?): Plus, the new character select screen will be the best of any MMO in history:

Good to see NCsoft finally pulled their heads out of the asses and decided to release this in the west. Yeah it's very late, but there is fuck all for MMOs coming out this year so it still has a chance. They definitely need to get this out before Black Desert though.

Re-installed this and damn the Gunner class is hella fun. The animations in this game are truly top notch. Without exception, the gunner abilities and animations are very very responsive and have a great weight and impact. I'll probably play for a month to check out the new endgame at 65, but I...

I played this for a few months a while back and I'd have to say the combat is what makes it worth playing. The combat system is very in-depth and places a heavy emphasis on learning encounters. It reminds me a bit of dark souls where you must learn all the boss moves and animations and properly...

How about Squenix? If none of the big publishers pick it up, I'd like to see EnMasse do it. Edit: Fuck Nexon

Embrace your inner loli. The new class is actually a lot of fun. The combat animations and fluidity is still top notch. For fucks sake why won't some western MMO developers copy this combat system. I've never understood the complaints about animation lock. Tons of games do this. If you hate...

The engine looks like it has some pop-in issues, but damn that city was impressive. The attention to detail is amazing.

Sounded like a very thorough review. Seems to confirm my experience from the beta. The game is just painfully average. This is the first major MMO that I didn't purchase on day one. So glad I made the right choice to skip this game.

Holy fuck. That is a lot of sliders... Does this game have a NA publisher yet?

Well fuck. Thanks for the heads up. So are there any improvements over the last weekend event?

This is so true. You would think by now this would be a given for all modern MMOs that they must have responsive combat and the rock solid net code to support it. This is the same thing that ultimately killed games like war, ffxiv, and swtor for me. The constant dropped inputs and positional...

This was my assessment as well. Having seen this forum tear other far better MMOs to shreds, all the positive posts on this game is strange to me. Maybe I'm just too jaded at this point, but everything in the beta has ranged from poor to mediocre at best. I'm not sure if I could even last the...

All they need now is a $200 lifetime sub option!

Agreed. It's not just that they are bad artistically (i.e. sneak animation looks like your character is going to take a dump). The animations are also non-responsive and feel completely disconnected from inputs and when the damage is applied. The combat simply has zero impact or weight to it...

I must admit, the graphics, music, and voice acting are much better than I thought. On the other hand, this game has the most uninspired, floaty, unresponsive, poorly animated, unengaging combat of any MMO I've ever played. Good god, the animations are universally horrible. Can someone...

Got a key from the Curse event. Can't wait to see if this game is as much of a shitfest as everyone says.

Probably true. I'm pretty much treating the CN version as I would an open beta/preview for other games. I'll play it long enough to get a taste of the game and the various classes, then set it aside until the NA release (whenever the hell that will be). With a 200+ms ping, I'm pretty much...

you probably need to change your system locale to Chinese Simplified PRC

Might want to include the subserver as well (unless i missed it). In the dojo thread, the ???? server seems to have the most interest. Also, Summoner class is crazy OP.

I installed the english patch and it does help a lot with the interface. However, one big area still missing is the skill translations. The dojo forums have some translated screenshots of the skill trees. There are a few unofficial english servers. I rolled on ???? - ???? which seemed to have...

Downloaded the CN version a few days ago after it was posted in the Tera thread since there is fuck all to play right now. The game is pretty solid. The combat is satisfying with a great animations and a feeling of impact. Playing a destroyer currently, and lifting a boss above your head while...

I'm so bored with current MMOs atm, I will probably do the same. Apparently the CN version doesn't have any region locking or require a KSSN or anything. Might as well give it a try. Is there a BnS thread on this forum (search didn't find one)? As far as Tera being dead, I have no idea. The...

You might be confusing Tera for Blade and Soul. There were a lot of conspiracy theories from CoX players that NCsoft shut it down because BnS was announced around that time. Strangely enough, the current conspiracy theory is that NCsoft is delaying the US release of BnS because of Wildstar...

FFS, those animations are terrible. Why does this game with a multi-million-dollar budget, have worse character art and animations then the average bargain-basement Korean FTP MMO?

Blade and soul does seem promising, but who knows when it will make it over to the west. I'm curious to see how the semi-lock on system works. Tera does have a few lock on skills but it is still largely a collision/hitbox based. I still wish some new MMO would copy it. It would have been...
