TL;DR are any other goons playing this mess? I'm gullible enough to try it, though I didn't buy early to get into the early-launch bonus days. :wooper:

It's going to end up the exact same way as Riders of Icarus:

Technically competent enough, ticks the usual feature list, far too late to market in an already over-saturated market, won't grab a sizable player base for more than the first month (if that), back into obscurity forever more.

Will probably stay online for many years thanks to gambling addicts and RNG based lock boxes & P2W.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
It failed in two markets, and Aeria Games backed out of their publishing contract before even announcing a beta.

So uh. It's a pretty game world, though.

I'm going to be making a guild for this, but it won't be public invite until I get some "guild levels" or whatever it requires. At which point I can invite people here. Anyone else is free to make a guild (the initial cap is 10) and we can merge later or whatever.

I'm going into it with a positive attitude, if it crashes and burns, no big deal. Keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed.

Why is every game i play unbalanced in the other guys favour?
Probably going to be horrible but i play all these terrible games anyway might as well try it while it has a playerbase at launch.

Are there factions or any of that kinda crap we need to choose?

I suggest Union, the people I'm playing with for a bit, as well as the BDO goons, are going Union (I think). After I get some guild levels I'll invite people if someone else doesn't scoop people up, I just don't want to have to turn people away when I'm still at the low cap.

I didn't know there were any BDO survivors. Good to hear.

The launch goon guilds for that collapsed in record time. I hope Bless can beat that record.

First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.
I'll be rolling in it because I have to keep the Bad Decisions of 2018 going. Surprised other goons are even looking at it, was sure it would of been passed up.

3rd launch to new market is the charm. Maybe Bless won't belly flop this time.

I'm absolutely going to wait a week or two (or six) after launch before I think about putting money into this dubious proposition though.

I'll try Bless, if the PVP/RvR is good I'll stick around and run a goon guild maybe, or roll with other goons if they have one. If I milk a few months of fun out of it I'll be happy.

I'd recommend Hieron just for another reason: this game has dynamic faction locking depending on server imbalance, and I believe most people are going to be going Union from what I've read/seen in terms of surveys on various sites. I have no clue how dynamic the lock is, though.

Just choose whatever faction has the coolest hats in your opinion. No point in getting too worked up over it when you'll be hunting for a new non-dead guild a month after launch :v:

(no offense to any goons starting a guild but you should know how this is going to go down by now)

I tried ROS for a week was absolutely blown away by how much it sucked. The contrast between what was advertised and what you got was probably one of the most dire cases I've seen in a game lol. The UI and controls were terrible and none of the creatures you tamed felt important or interesting, probably because they glitched out constantly and were never helpful.

If you are stuck on the Bless splash screen, quit and try again (well not right now, the server is down for emergency maintenance). You aren't actually waiting for anything unless you see that you are in the queue.

I had to turn off the windows firewall to get it to get past the screen.

I'm dumb and also injured and I have a love/hate relationship with the stupid opening weeks of MMOs. So which server and side are most people on?
