Blade and Soul

[Neko]

A Korean MMO that's been out a few years and is hitting stateside early 2016. It's F2P but closed beta is starting this fall for people who throw a bit of cash at it (usual Founder's pack stuff).

It plays somewhat like Tera, in that it's fast paced non-locked target combat with attack/block/counter type moves. The "vibe" is a kung-fu movie / ninja anime - you can run up walls, across water ectect. There's the usual fare of questing, dungeons ect. PVP is activated by putting on your faction's gear, and you can choose to fight it out or do pvp quest hubs.

I'll be getting my kung-fu on. I was curious if anyone else will be? The founder's pack thingies are here.

Hit up Arion. He pitched it to some of us in Slack, but we all told him nowayjose.

I'm interested, but not sure if I'm interested enough to throw down for a Founder's Pack, even if you can refund it at any time. I'll probably keep an eye on it and just try to get into beta the old fashioned way.

I played it last year on the Chinese servers. The game was fun, had some interesting mechanics, however, endgame stuff was a singleplayer tower-like dungeon. I don't know if there's a lot of changes for the Western release, I hope there are because the game had a lot of potential.

i've plated the Chinese servers, I liked it, but like any other CHinese MMO, they turn it into a ingame purchase to win sort of deal. We'll see how it is in Stateside.
