Nope not everything I heard is based on the Japanese version. This is from an interview with the devs about the steam version.

"MMORPG: Will there be separate PVE and PVP servers, or is it all PVP all the time?

Bless Online Team: There will not be separate PVE or PVP servers, but we understand that many players do not wish to partake in PVP until it’s on their own terms. To help with this, there will be a consumable item that players can buy in-game to make them non-PVP enabled. This will work all the way to the level cap, last for a time, and has no cooldown. At the level cap, the item will still be obtainable, but via the Cash Shop. A large part of the later game content is PVP oriented (like our sieges), so we’re hoping players will try to engage in the conflict between the two factions then. Still, if they wish to avoid PVP, they’ll be able to buy the consumable in the cash shop, and you will also be able to earn cash shop currency via in-game activities as well."

"MMORPG: Will microtransaction or item shop things be available at a later point for players to purchase? If so, please tell us about the types of things players will find.

Bless Online Team: Yes, Bless Online will have a cash shop. In it you’ll find awesome cosmetic equipments, skins, mounts and pets, consumables and boosts, and more. There will be no “loot boxes” as it were."

Hopefully the grind isn't artificially made to be tedious in hopes of encouraging people to buy boosts seeing how this version is b2p.

Oh yeah missed that one. Well doesn't bother me, it's largely a PvP based game anyway from what I heard. Also based on other version it doesn't take long at all to reach max cap. Something like 2 weeks of somewhat casual playing.

Berserker at first glance, but striker (which may not be in on our launch) looks good too. Knight seems aight, and yeah i was kind of digging the look of Heavy Gunner.

My bad it seems they're not locked. Nexon site and wiki have nothing on that regard so I assumed the worst.

I'll write a bot to grind and another to record gameplay.

Got accepted into the beta so i'll be streaming that at 9th may when it begins. Hopefully this game wont be fucked by pay2win stuff, which is very possible since thats basically what theyve done to the korean version. I'll have fun for a while at least.

So far its alright. Gave me a huge headache so i couldnt hit max level in one day unfortunately, but there were ups and downs in the leveling. The exp is way faster in the beta than its suppose to be so that people can hit level cap and try things out, so its a different experience now. The combat is solid, just killing stuff trying to use skills efficiently is fun, but the best part is bossing. Bosses are not super hard but also not trivial, displaying their attacks quite obviously with a couple being dangerous and others less so. Its just fun in general to take them down in all the dungeons they appear in, and there are many dungeons.

What did you use? Keyboard & mouse, Mouse only or Gamepad?

Took me forever to get into the game yesterday. Once I did, I couldn't interact with any npc and gave up. It was getting late, and had other things to do.

Took me like an hour untill they fixed the log in issues, then i tried mouse & keyboard, and after that switched to classic controls. I havent bothered mapping pad controls yet but they seem like a pretty good choice later. Im currently 50 and there are some annoying things like cap on dungeons for gear which limits me now. Theres still a lot of goofy entertaining things though, and beta seems limited.

The dungeon cap is one of the biggest concerns people are mentioning that i see. If im not mistaken nexon may have it in plans to make extra dungeon cap rewards be purchaseable for real $$$ in which case i will probably just not play.


The game is rather fun though so far. I want to enjoy it, but there are many things they can fuck up. Cash shop not being in the beta is worrisome.
