I got to level 42 in the alpha and this game was pretty fun mainly because of the combat. You pretty much fly around and do crazy kung fu poo poo and air combos and I was able to knock people on the ground then headbutt them or also give them the people's elbow. Characters were pretty cool, my guy had an afro and a sweet pink beard and bug eyes. There is a race that's like a squirrel or a skunk and it's loving tiny. The leveling was generic questing dogshit and the translations and voice acting are worse than terrible. Leveling is completely loving mindless and easy except for maybe soloing some of the dungeons. If you actually 6-man the 6-man dungeons they are WAY too easy. Also there's a lot of annoying weeabos in chat who never stop talking about Aion and anime and Archeage and other korea poo poo so if you're in a bad place in your life you can come play this game and know that there's people who have it worse. The combat is really fun though and is the only reason I'm still playing. Also our version is way super far behind Korea and we are extremely content gated. Why do publishers always do this? futile fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Oct 13, 2015 |

Its so we don't get a lot of useless content that we will never do because newer easier/better content is available. This at least makes sure they can milk our time for a few months before the next update. Repeat until we eventually catch up. Also for those of us that didn't get into the alpha test, the next one this week will be available to everyone who purchased a founder pack before the 14th!

Actually we're pretty much up to date on balance/system changes (hence the availability of Gon FMs and Yun KFMs which happened like 3 months ago in Korea). Only thing they're actually holding off gameplay-wise is the Warlock class, they mentioned that will be out a little while after release. Guess they want some big hype thing to have after the release rush dies down. We are pretty behind on story though and the level cap is lower for now but they can add that in pretty quickly.

Jimbot posted:Just a side-note on outfits, a lot of the women outfits have a lot of high-heels and wedges. So if that poo poo bothers you, like it does me, a lot of the outfits will irk the crap out of you. Luckily there are a few decent ones in there that are alright. Supposedly the North American release will have even more outfits. It irks you that your pixels are wearing high heels instead of appropriately sturdy footwear?

I can force my stick figure anime girlies in chainmail bikinis and high heels to walk through marshes, desert and mud, and get bloodied up as they murder people and beast alike in great amounts, all while I sit at home in my chair. It's everything a man could ever dream of no?

Karistar posted:Will there be a write-up on the different classes soon? Was planning on starting as a Lyn Blade Dancer, but I'm usually drawn to summoner-type classes (which is also a Lyn exclusive, the Summoner class), so I was wondering on which one to pick. blade dancer is a sword wizard that has the most annoying CCs in the game and good burst summoner deals mostly DoT damage, and nobody in pvp will be attacking your cat pet considering the mobility/ranged capabilities of most classes in this game

I noticed on the premium page that faster chi recovery is listed as a perk of being a premium member. Isn't that basically MP regen? Or is the faster recovery something that's mostly negligible in combat since it'll be replenishing in ways other than time most of the time? Same thing with windstride (which I'm guessing is the run fast thingy seen in the trailers/gameplay video).

They renamed chi the resource to focus for the localization. I believe chi recovery refers to meditating when you hit 0 HP to revive yourself, which is normally a 20 second cast. Windstriding is basically fast travel, click on a hub you've visited before on the map and you teleport there. Everyman fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Oct 14, 2015 |

lewtt posted:blade dancer is a sword wizard that has the most annoying CCs in the game and good burst Sounds like I'll be sticking to Blade Dancer then. Summoners are usually just a mage of some sort with a thing they summoned to magi-babble at so that they don't go insane in most MMOs, but I was hoping that B&S would make them a little more durable or at least make the pet annoying enough that it's always better to deal with it first.

I played summoner and in PVP I actually had the most problem with people that would kill my cat first, if they ignore you can use it to set up some shenanigans. IDK how relevant this is against good players but it seemed true to me from what I did.

Check your e-mails. Next beta weekend starts tomorrow at 10:00 AM PST, but you need to put in a new code on your NCSoft account page.

So I'm a little interested in this game because a few of my friends mentioned they want to try it. But my question is, do people really spend $125 on an F2P game that isn't out yet?  Who I am kidding, people bought lifetime subs to Hellgate London, of course they have.

I wonder if there will be enough goons playing this game at launch for a clan. The maximum people we can fit into one is only 80 so its quite small compared to other games.

Anatharon posted:So I'm a little interested in this game because a few of my friends mentioned they want to try it. I just want to point out that while normally founders packs for games that are literally not playable at all yet are definitely pretty sketchy, it's very easy to actually try BnS before it comes out over here, since there's multiple other regions without IP blocks that you can play on to try it. If you know that you're actually going to play AND spend money on BnS for at least 3 months, the Master pack is actually a ridiculously good value for the money, since you get like $90 worth of NCoin in addition to 3 months of premium, which is already pretty much the entire price right there, then you get a bunch of char slots/inventory expansions/character alteration vouchers (all of which also would cost cash shop money anyway), lv4 premium from the start, and an exclusive costume. Head start/beta is just icing on the cake. You're basically paying ahead for stuff you'll probably buy anyway and getting a ton of extra stuff with it. Whether that's worth it is up to you. That being said if you're unsure about the game or don't see yourself spending money on it, I definitely would not recommend going ham on the master pack, but for people who have already played/enjoyed the game and are just waiting for it to actually come out over here so they can play with non-poo poo ping or whatever, there's actually a method to the madness of getting that kind of pack.

Anatharon posted:So I'm a little interested in this game because a few of my friends mentioned they want to try it. I was willing to play the game with 300+ MS latency for an extended period of time, so I'm reasonably confident I'll at least get my investment out of this version of the game. I've played the game before and I liked it therefore I spend money on it. I would not recommend doing the same for games you haven't played before, it's just a bad idea. That said, as cathead said; you get more than enough value out of this founder's pack if you plan on playing it for a while.

I'll be starting a (probably red) clan for launch with some goon pals from other games. Thread isn't too active now since we haven't hit closed beta yet, but I'm sure that'll change. At least in my circle of friends I know a lot of people who tried a different region of the game at some point and are just waiting for launch now. Not too much to talk about until then unfortunately.

Probably best to play this on the US servers right? Less chance of NCSoft selling the rights to a lovely company like Gameforge or whatever I suppose.
