1. Bless Online First Impressions "Is It Worth It?" 2. Bless Online: The Next Big MMORPG??? 3. Bless Online Is An Embarrassment to the MMORPG Genre This seems to be the format for almost every new MMORPG coming out recently. Here's to hoping Ashes of Creation finally breaks the cycle.
EA is a bad excuse for a Game whats in development since 2012 and had in every launch massive performance issues ... btw love your streams from Lost Ark Fevir :D
Actual conversation I had with someone: "Yo, check out Bless, it looks so good" "Everyone says it looks good but I heard it flopped in every country in released in" "Yeah, I heard that too but they're reworking it for the NA release and it looks good." Well, that didn't age well.
WoW, GW2 and and Final Fantasy are the only MMOs worth the time or money anymore. Though I still prefer WoW because they haven't adopted the putting outfits on a market for $20 model, yet. Fuck that model.
Sikksens I'm a partner of other neowiz games and they're all cash grabs and partners are treated poorly in the other games by neowiz. Company's gonna go under sooner or later and I'll be happy.
Fallen Noir Most likely most of it went to hookers and cocaine. No way with that money you'd make a PC MMO that is as bad as a mobile MMO otherwise, without that explanation.
I wish i had seen this video sooner. Money wasted. Refund denied after being told i played more than 2 hrs even though most of the time was spent stuck in loading screen.
Hey peon. Just wrote on the steam community forum about your video and the mods blocked it, others tried too and all mentions to your videos are being removed from the steam forums LOL
The input went beyond "runs bad". It runs bad, the combat system sucks, the UI is trash, the leveling content is a boring rofflestomp of easy content. And frankly as was pointed out, that if they aren't able to fix these issue by now there's no reason to expect they'll be fixed over the next year or longer.
biggest red flag for me is that they're censoring their steam forums BIG time. I've tried posting my opinion on the game 3 times and because it was negative, every single thread deleted. Then moderator told me that I'm supposed to tell them why I don't like it, not that I just don't like it (even though the whole post was very calm 10 reasons why I don't like it), then told me that "NONSENSE, we're not closing threads!" and then locked that thread too. edit: my full steam forum dislike review: 1. I don't like the censorship of the story. They're trying to appeal to T for Teen rating, meaning that anything remotely sexual got cut out, which actually left the story completely dissjointed at parts. 2. I don't like the price hike. We were told that the game will be 30$ on release. Currently it's 50$. 50$ for them is = 50 Euros as well, as no conversion was applied there. Supposedly there's going to be a 40$ version soon, but that's still more expensive than originally planned. As the game is a lot more early access than they told us, I don't understand the price. 3. Crafting is made up out of "wait" or "pay real money". Some upset people replied to that comment of mine saying that this is the NORMAL way for an Asian MMO to function, so it can't be a complaint. 4. Performance is awful. 5. Action combat either got delayed, or in their opinion, this is action combat. 6. Translation is incomplete. 7. Getting past the main splash screen is a 50/50 8. Due to trying to keep a perfect balance between the factions, just like servers when they're too full, factions will lock up for character creation. If due to a lockup you and your friends started on different servers, there's no way to transfer. If you already redeemed your special edition items, they're character bound, therefore you can't just abandon the character and create another one with your friend somewhere else instead. 9. I don't like the censorship of the steam forums. It shows to me that instead of wanting to fix things, developers want to PR this and sweep it under the rug. 10. Despite action combat being disabled, or simply not implemented at all, the two classes that were taken out because of the combat overhaul that seems to not have happened are still not in game.
I really like some indie companies like the guys behind Descenders. The publisher doesn't censor anything and responds to negative reviews with solutions that help.
Lost Ark now also has the UI lagging bug, where it can take up to like 3 seconds to open certain menus. Programmers that dont know how to multi-thread even now boggles my mind.
It just shows how stagnant the MMORPG genre is when people were ready to hype Bless the last few months despite its previous track record. So many of us are ready for the next big thing but we can't make something from nothing, and this game is nothing. Oh well, on to the next big thing that we can overhype that will never live up to our unrealistic expectations
imagine being this much of a neckbeard that you hate a company because of a game and want the older version to kill the current one. and he deleted the comment LUL
tbh i've heard little to nothing of bless. there was some hype, but not much at all. first time i heard about it was like a month ago and what i heard was it failed in a couple places and was now coming here.
a closed beta for the EU could be possible right in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2019 and can reach open beta state until end of 2020. All we need is a piece of luck^^
Cheers, I can agree with everything you mention in video. I never refunded any game in my 20+ years gaming history..but this game, yes.. refunded few minutes ago, not because of money - it's because they don't deserve money and we (players) need to show middle finger to such companies and give clear info for future game devs.
For me was same till Mortal Kombat (w/e came 2-3 years ago) and No Men's Sky :) we are good to have YT channels like this one for us to feel informed. And I bet it is a gizmo for devs :)
Nicely roasted turkey leg on Steam top left corner is bar, support.. under support you choose game/DLC and go through questions/selections and that's it. 2 min of work.
I don't buy a game simply when it says 'early access'. Early access is a term now used for devs to charge you money for a broken game that they 'fix' if and when they can be bothered.
Its cause people expect games to be like WoW after 10+ years and fail to realize games need time to gain content and also not judge an mmo til a week or so after its launched. Peon is also a terrible way to judge a game since he has a nasty habit of "is this game worth it" before the game launches "this game is shit" days after it launches then "this game is amazing" months or years later.
To be honest, alot of mmos would be still great fun if they had a player base... There were alot of good titles which got patched to death or just went the "Free to Play" aka PayToPlay-Path and fucked up big time.
1:43 "Maybe this is just a symptom of the game being on Unreal Engine 3, maybe bad coding" Likely both, and they're sort of an intertwined issue. Unreal Engine (and other general-purpose game engines) is fundamentally unsuitable for MMOs, which is why pretty much all MMOs built using one (Blade & Soul comes to mind, using UE4) perform like shit despite making many sacrifices in graphical fidelity to have it perform at all. Bad coding might also be a contributing factor, but as the saying goes you can't really polish a turd. They're limited by the tools/engine they're using. And before people jump on me, I'm not saying UE is bad; I'm saying that attempting to build an MMO with it is a fundamentally bad idea since it's not really designed for that purpose. But that's what you get with the modern gaming industry, 0 fucks given about the actual game, just looking to cut corners and costs while milking the most money possible from players.
True, but i can't agree more. I was waiting for the game for at least 5 years. I got my hands on Korean CBT 2 years but it felt like crap. Now it's still the same crap ... But i would play it if not the optimization... You can't simply enjoy the game with that amount of lags and unstability even if it would be good.
lol @ fanboys supporting another 6 month and forget MMO. They have had ages to fix all these issues, it was released long ago. Just another fail MMO in a sea of failed MMOs. There's no passion, just pure profit driven. Horrible combat, horrible visuals, horrible performance. Pass.
"B-But it has potential!". There, I just replied for everyone in this comment section, since "potential" seems to be the only argument why every flaw this game has should be ignored. For a moment I even though I was in a Sea of Thieves video.
Technically only 2, the 3rd was being counted as NA/EU because of the previous attempt to port it to the west getting funding cut off. It mainly failed because of monetization attempts by shitty eastern publishers and the fact that PVP focused mmo's lack popularity with JP and KR audiences. Not to mention the old KR combat system was another major problem. These problems were ammended. It IS a PVP focused game, but it's not ONLY PVP, it has good PVE content as well (old school style MMO's dungeon runs and what not). Once they fix the optimization, this game has heavy potential. Yes it is relatively buggy at the moment, but this isn't the first game to have such problems on launch; and they did revamp the engine so it is more or less like they released the game anew. I would advise against using the previous builds as examples, Neowiz are really trying with this one.
You people ought to look up the definition of "MMO", cause what you said is plain wrong. The most succesful games right now are literally only PvP games, yes, in korea aswell.. League, dota, fortnite and so on.
When a UI element is opened, it looks to me like they're waiting for a server response *on the main thread* so the whole game freezes while the query is underway. This of course makes no sense to anyone who's ever written software of any kind that consumes web services. You can never control or fully predict query latency, but you can control how your UI behaves while it waits.
Okay so the number one argument I see defending Bless is: "it's Early Access so it will get better over time". And yeah I agree, that may be so. But the game in it's current state is NOT, and I repeat NOT worth a buy, so everything Peon pointed out in this video rings true. Who cares if they eventually manage to fix it if the game is broken right now. I'll consider buying it MAYBE if they fix the issues and fix translation, but until then, everything Peon said is true, and I will be taking my money elsewhere.
Yup, and it's technically not a new game as well. It's been out for sometime and they had enough time to squash all the bugs and performance issues before the big launch day on STEAM.
idk, Early access isnt really an excuse. This game was released 3 times already and they fck'd up every time. They didnt change shit within all those years. this game will still be the same pile of garbage after years (if it survives that long this time)
You do know the game has been in development globally for several years right? They literally only translated text and audio no actual code change. They have no excuse at all for how shabby the programming is. This game is just a quick cash grab attempt at a desperate gaming market. Therefore if you even have faith left in it after the video, then I implore you never to play an online game again.
Bought the game, managed to get past the loading screen mythic difficulty after 30min, played for 30min with a crash and stuttering (1080ti and 8700k 5ghz OC), got it refunded.... sums the game up well..
1080ti and 8700k 5ghz OC I'm running the same setup, custom build by maingear. Game runs flawlessly for me.... You marry someone after knowing them for only 30 min?
actually if he praised the game constantly after 30 min. THEN your retort would make since. in this case it would be did you break up after one date? and ya...if the first date sucks ass. your not gonna go on a second. mary after 30 min would be the people that still think destiny 2 is the greatest game in the world with no faults after only playing the first mission. Get your metaphorical analogies correct damn it.
Welp this game was an absolute trainwreck since their og server release so I have no idea why in the world anyone would want this game reopened else where. Such a waste of time.
Jeremy Wright eso at launch was actually ass. However theyve improved the game sooo much and im actually thoroughly enjoying all parts of the game at this point. I was worried going back into it (tried in 2015, didnt rlly like, tried a little in 2016, and finally really got into it end 2017, and still playing)
It's scary how many people are actually trusting his opinion even though they should know at this point that he changes his mind like a girl about to dress for a date...
I would probably do the same if i were in his position. He does have a negative mood and maybe a partially biased thoughts, but It might at least save someone few bucks and gives him an opportunity to vent off. Seeing how the game runs and looks on videos from other people doesnt give me any hope. There are a lot of different MMORPGs that look similar and better while providing good performance, especially on older computers. Game needs to be criticized for its shortcomings and they need to be improved. This is a game from 2012 that launched in multiple regions and now it did straight launch without any alpha or stress test, not doing this tells you something already. It still didnt improve how much it needed to. In the video though, he didnt said he wont be revisiting. He is just disappointed like the majority of us are and is hoping for a good change. Seeing how many MMORPGs we get yearly now, barely a few, he doesnt really have much chance to either play something or try something new. He will still have to make content on something, and its in both of the interest of viewer and creator to be up to date with current newest releases.
Fran cis what? TL:DR for this review: “Games been fucked for years, looks like it will never get fixed” Aaand you say you want to wait for a first impressions video... lol.
This is why I've stopped becoming excited when something looks promising int he mmo market heh... My guild more or less decided to stick with wow as we keep going back to it anyway and most of us dislike the cash shop in ESO (as much as i enjoy the game I like collecting mounts and my wallet does not like the game..). Maybe someday the market will get something new but I'm stopped holding my breath. I would say FFXIV as I love that one toon can do everything. I love the housing. The main thing that drove me away from the game was sitting on masses of Gil and waiting on houses to open up only to be let down every time. After a year of trying to get a house and three years on my FC house I gave up. I don't need to pay a sub for a game that won't let me spend my virtual currency on the things I want.
Leslie Williams as someone as already commented. The housing system was just something that they needed time to improve. And they did. There's enough housing for everyone now.
Come on down to Famfrit. All of my neighbors at both of my houses have moved away. It's a really good time right now to find good houses. Even large ones, which rarely sell.
I reached lvl 50 and it was slow asf. Getting a short cool down on all attack skills after using a skill makes the combat pretty slow compare to other mmos. ff14 combat probably has been made to make console players too keep up with the speed
@@BboyMikazz that makes zero sense at all. It's the same game on the same servers. The problem is ya'll comparing action mmos to FFXIV. FFXIV combat is a cross between old school and action mmos of course it's going to seem slower then them doesn't mean it's slow.
It's a shame for NEOWIZ to launch Bless Online in the West in such a horrible way. And even more embarrassing is that other youtubers and streamers encourage the purchase of the game by saying that such bad graphics optimization is normal for MMORPGs. Great video TheLazyPeon, you got a fan here from Brazil :D
I saw a part if shrouds and sodapoppins stream and they both said that it is one of the shittiest games they have ever played. They had to wait forever because of the servers beeing laggy af and crashed every few minutes or sth like that...only seen the end where they said that.
Alex Le exactly, at TRI it becomes a time trap and that gives to the new players a chance to catch up a little bit, that's why i'm not mad about bdo, they just keep the bussniess going
as a new player to bdo, well.. i been playing for a good 5-6 months now ~1000hrs logged about half processing, the game is fuckn great... yes the enhancement is time consuming and frustrating at time, i sat on a +12 kzarka staff for LITERALLY 300 mem frags, it hit +13 and its already taken 50 mem frags from me, but guess what... THATS THE HARD GRIND, you know how many people are hyped for the world of warcraft vanilla? that shit is a grind fest to get to just 60, i mean months... MONTHS, and people are hyped for that... but when it comes to getting down to the grinding business in an action combat based mmo fuck that gimme my loot now? what gives?!?!?! also, you can choose to go for the tet buy route instead of the enhance, just buy your tets... it requires more farming but its a 100% guarantee. im sitting at 464 renown now, and that's not too bad imho... i still have asulas/grunil to replace aswell XD and its kept me hooked for this long, AND the devs actually give back to the community when shit fucks up... that month of a free vp and karma blessing was noice!
jonkrchvpve I’m new to bro as well only 6 or 7 weeks with few artisans skill, lvl 59/57/50 and love everything so far and got dandelion and kzarka pri. Yeah and I’ve tried for tungrad and cres pro it kinda pissed me off and I can imagine yet and pen but I don’t think it’s bad at all, it keeps items and money out of game along side of letting new players catch up.
usually new players do not get their hands on boss gear and the regular stuff it's freakin easy to repair lol and they also added the enchanced regular gear drop, so most of new players will get half of gear to +15 just from drops until level 58/59 following questline.
Hey, Italian subtitles, cool, that's not very common. :) I'm even using TH-cam in English, this means that I didn't see them just because I'm Italian, the guy (-stewan-) actually created the subtitles adding the timing by himself, great job man!
I love it how in combat, the torso and the lower body act like they are two different characters, one moving the character and the other attacking the target LOL! Thanks for the warning, Korea needs to stop puking all these "MMO's" and focus on quality instead of quantity.
unironically my favorite mmorpg of all time , played 1K+ hours . and now i'm here left with no mmo's to play cus the most liked games are the games i like the least & the least appreciated games are the ones i like the most 😆 hard life
'Early access' Lol its been out for like 2 fucking years 1: Its failed 2-3 times 2: You can only do a limited amount of dungeons (excuse to stop power leveling) 3: You cannot trade with anyone (excuse for gold sellers to not be in game) 4: games been out for like 2 years and its 2018 and its releasing with 5 classes 5: only pvp servers (i personally love pvp but having no pve servers will certainly give you a small player base) These are issues i saw with the game that made it not feel like an mmorpg once so ever and lazypeon just brought up more issues. He is right this game is an embarrassment. No the developers should be embarrassed. Release it on early access and ask for 40-200$ thats just stupid as well.
Really, does anyone in 2018 still expect Unreal Engine MMORPG to have been optimized and with good performance. Seriously look in the market, full of examples that Unreal Engine just doesn't cut it for games if you want performance. In general as soon as i see Unreal Engine mark on a MMORPG game, expect it's performance to be total shit, especially in crowded areas.
4:15 "And even FFXIV." Sorry maybe I'm drowning in bias but I can't seem to find out why people downplay FFXIV combat so much. It has issues but it's not nearly as bad as people say.
Hey Peon use this to uncap fps 1- SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > Bless Online > Engine > Config. 2- Open BaseEngine.ini in notepad (or whatever you use to edit textt files). 3- Find bSmoothFrameRate and change its value to FALSE from TRUE. 4- Save the file they did this while packaging the game i find it useless to put bSmooth and limit it to 62 i will try to make few mods to fix some of the stuff they did wrong on client side
You shouldn't need to optimize a game for the developers, that means the developers don't know what they're doing and will lead to more problems and DIY projects to fix their broken game. If the foundations are shaky no matter how much you build it will still shake.
mods are great for quality of life changes, yes, like DPS meters and stuff like that. You shouldn't need to fix FPS issues due to improper settings in the game. these settings should already be optimized before the game reaches the state of Beta access which is the old name for "Early Access" if this was an alpha test or something it would be understandable, but beta tests and "early Access" should be for fine tuning numbers in your games, like how much Damage X skill does. Even games like Skyrim shouldn't technically need to be optimized by the player's for the base game(optimization to get mods to function better together are good). using Skyrim as an example, it game is actually very poorly optimized and shouldn't have been released in the state it was in, like most Bethesda games, but it did launch like that, and because the gameplay was decent it didn't get much flak for it(also because Bethesda is known for it's buggy games).
I think when ppl make quality of life mod and upgrades to there games they should give them credit and maybe free stuff then patch it in to the game to make there game better after all they did that much work to help it means they really like your game on some level
My honest review : - I was so hyped about this game, so I bought their founders pack to get that " 2 days head start " , etc. - Got stuck on the loading screen for hours with the towers picture, couldn't even create my char. - When I finally got in, the FPS was crap and I have EVGA 1080 SC ! - Logging out means you probably won't be able to log in again. - The lag was terrible, the servers were crowded and the fact that WE AS PREMIUM users didn't got a reserved slot on the servers to log in freely without any problems was so unprofessional ! - Constant updates and creating NEW servers was so stupid ! How the hell you want to release a new game with ONE EU SERVER ???? - No auto attacks - 2 days head start was a lie obviously , more like few hours head start. CONCLUSION : - Waste of money right now. - Too expensive for getting pretty much nothing as a premium user with founder pack. - I got the refund today and MAYBE one day I might get back, but they need to fix their crap before they lose every player AND now I understand (one of the reasons) why they failed in earlier launches in Oceania and Asia ... ADVICE: - Think twice before buying, cause you might get disappointed as I did ... HARD !
"- The lag was terrible, the servers were crowded and the fact that WE AS PREMIUM users didn't got a reserved slot on the servers to log in freely without any problems was so unprofessional" Literally all the people are premium, how do you expect them to give you a reserved slot if everyone that owns the game is premium, U think they'd choose you over any other premium user? Hell naw.
"The lag was terrible, the servers were crowded and the fact that WE AS PREMIUM users didn't got a reserved slot on the servers to log in freely without any problems was so unprofessional !" i mean to be fair anyone playing before the 30th is premium
Indeed but still, releasing 1 server.. Like what, did they expect a few hundred players? Lmao I guess they didn't learn anything about the other mmorpgs.
Nah i just don't really care, i'm also on my way to bed and need the 7 hours sleep and 40$ is 2 times if not more than it is worth,. I'll purchase the game when it's price is 10-15 euro probably if it's 20 euro.
Who gives a shit about graphics in an MMO? No one, its about the experience and general fun and the people playing with you... And yes its still very fun to this day
I'm playing the game right now and I currently haven't run into anything that's made hate the game. Had to sorta my graphics resolution out a little, but now it runs quite smoothly while still looking nice to look at, except i'm flying into seperate or different zones, model and areas take a few seconds to load and polish out. Combat is nice also, liking the combo system it has going. Currently sitting at lvl 21 and i'm semi gripped via the story atm, not that it's bad (playing on empire side.) Cutscenes may need a little work though, nothing too serious, my character just acts all weird sometimes in them. Did my first dungeon, which was soloable, assuming the difficulty increases with a group. Was a nice way to get gear and exp though. Haven't tried much pvp yet. And my only grip was that the assassin class was locked, as well as the three other classes, that was quite annoying for me. But that's my piece of info, I would recommend people atleast try the game out and for more then an hour if that's possible.
About the performance btw, the r/ Bless has already found a way to literally triple your FPS and basically eliminate most performance issues by just editing a Settings file. For all the rest of the complaints though... welp. I guess I'll be waiting a while and see if the devs give a fuck and start fixing things, since I have no other thing to look forward to.
I mean day one review yeah... But when you take into consideration that this game has already failed in multiple regions.. And they haven't fixed any of those issues... Why would anyone buy this
And the wait continues for the GREAT MMO game that was said to be PROPHECY. The 2nd coming of the great savior is upon us all....I just hope to be alive when that prophecy is fulfilled.
They should do a Bless Online free week/weekend, kind of like what Blizzard does with Overwatch ocassionally, just so people can see if they like the game enough to buy it. With the amount of negative reviews its gotten, I just don't see any reason to buy the game just on the off chance that I might enjoy it, and Steam's 1 hour refund policy doesn't work well for games like MMOs where you need to spend a significant time playing in order to get anywhere.
I tried Albion skill depth isn't anywhere near the same, nor is the exploration/housing. Also, I miss the danger, like danger everywhere. In UO I remember having my ship key pickpocketed in town, IN town. And his skill was high enough that calling the guards wouldn't work. So I tried to chase him but the cat was crazy good with a poisoned kryss. The guy looted my hold but was cool enough to give the key back. I miss SOS bottled, player vendor houses, the depth of the skills and the fact no one could tell you level/skill by looking at you. UO was just so good, I haven't seen anything else come close.
I don't really understand how you can complain about combat in this game feeling static, and then praise WoW's combat. Any caster class in WoW literally isn't allowed to move if they're using their abilities, and even for classes like Warrior and Paladin that do allow you to move, in low-level PvE there's rarely a reason to, since you can get by just as well by just standing there and pushing your buttons. The only class that's at all rewarded for moving during combat is the Rogue, and even then it feels like you're wading through a pool of jelly just to get your backstab procs. I'm sure as hell not defending Bless, since I'm sure it is garbage, but it kind of bugs me when people complain about MMO combat without ever criticizing WoW's spam-your-buttons style.
I generally love the whole idea of the mmorpg genre.. Teaming up with others against bosses, pvp, questing, storytelling,etc. I have tried many games mostly F2P and my conclusion is that WoW is the king of those... Yes it is p2p but they give you quality and fun gameplay. And this is coming from someone who hates p2p or p2w titles. It is so disappointing that a 2004 game is the best at 2018.
dude how about you give the game a few days to fix bugs and stabilize the servers before you go and tell people to refund their game. A lot of what you are saying was fixed the next day. Many of the comments you made about the UI and combat systems are just simply not true. Just because the combat isn't a wow clone like you want it to be doesn't mean it is bad. How about you put more than 3 hours into a game before you shit all over it..... smh
Atlantus Atti over the past few days they have been actively fixing bugs and taking community input as well as distributing population to increase server stability. Granted most of these bugs should have been taken care of pre launch but that have shown a tremendous effort when it comes to fixes.
Now in 2020 the game was re-released in the form of Blessed Unleashed and almost every issue from two years ago still stand for the PS4 version. It's a goddamn joke
Super late to this party, but yes, the halting and freezing are a result of UE3. It doesnt play well with newer hardware in the way textures are called. The freezing is distance texture loading. I hate it.
Probably the reality is somewhere in the middle, I'm sure there has been a lot of problems due to lunch rush, as well as some that just wasn't handled by Neowiz. If you looked forward to it, maybe try it out, and decide for yourself. Peon seems very quick to jump on the band wagon. I personally prefer to decide for myself.
Wow. At one point this gameplay was amazing, and looked better than anything on the market. Seems like this is not accidental. I think Bless wants to keep it Chinese.
I think they failed, or they overplayed their hand. You see this more often when something small goes big. I remember KFC changed meat supplier once. The supplier thought it could handle the *mass* production at a lower price. Hmhm... Every company wants to make money, gain fame. They either went to grab the money with a scheme, or they messed up. I don't think they wanted to 'keep it chinese'. Chinese suppliers often also cut the wrong corners. It's apparently crossculturally pretty popular to either be a crook, or a doofus. Excellence is rare.
Play GW2: Path of Fire instead and join WvW. :O Ah yeah! The mist war needs bodies! Plus, you can actually experience a skill curve and not have to grind forever. You will win or lose based on your input to the bloody controls! Not because the guy beside you paid 200 dollars so he could stomach grinding for months to be higher level. Lookin at you BDO!~ Imagine, an mmo where your build and knowledge of the class determine if you win or not. :O
Dulfy, the Guild Wars 2 wiki, Wooden Potatoes are all very good channels/websites to look at. My advice for starting out is to enjoy the experience and realize that although the base/free game is nice the game drastically improves throughout each living world (an update to each base game/expansion.. the in between updates that were free) and expansion. So sticking with it is good.. and if you get super impatient I know its odd to suggest but skipping to one of the expansions might be the leap in quality/accessibility (especially with specializations, mounts and gliding) that is needed to push the game over the edge. The story is certainly good though, but the game is 5 years old and so the early content is blown away by the new stuff. The expansions arent a huge deal though - you have no subscription fee and in the long run other than cosmetics this game isn't going to sap away money other than that.. you get it out of the way once instead of a monthly fee where a company effectively ransoms your data like some mmo or "premium" member scams. The combat starts simple but once you unlock specializations it becomes very visceral and it just feels right rather than the clunky movement and combat of most of these games.
The stuttering when opening menus could very well be a poor choice of font and how that font is being rendered. I have seen this with several games in the past that EVENTUALLY ended up patching the text. If this has become such a problem across so many games, you'd think that game devs would know how to pick and render their fonts by now.
After watching this twice, I've come to the conclusion that he didn't like the game very much.
oh really..?
Do You think so?(?) Jaja
I love comments like these
Looks like he missed the old school mms
oh really now sherlock.
1. Bless Online First Impressions "Is It Worth It?"
2. Bless Online: The Next Big MMORPG???
3. Bless Online Is An Embarrassment to the MMORPG Genre
This seems to be the format for almost every new MMORPG coming out recently. Here's to hoping Ashes of Creation finally breaks the cycle.
Z N welp
@Random Name pasta
oh the irony..
LMFAO
i just watched this video for a laugh
and i see this comment from a year ago :)
you had quite the nose man ^^
How to dodge Boss skills in Bless Online -> Walk slowly around him.
R.I.P.
Bless Online
2018 - 2018
Yesterday-Tomorrow
Are you a prophet?
lmao
They’ve been working on it for a very longer than that.
I was just hoping they’d fix the bugs by then.
Steam version officially shut down yesterday on 9 September 2019. No closing event either, just a news announcement and the switch was flipped.
wow...that's low, they don't even care.
We should have known considering how cheap the game looked.
5:43 "You've become 33Level." Jesus Christ.

"It's just beta bro"
sorry when they cant get things like what he said right before a beta its game over right there
EA is a bad excuse for a Game whats in development since 2012 and had in every launch massive performance issues ... btw love your streams from Lost Ark Fevir :D
its a relaunch. . . EArly access is no excuse if u play the game. its a headache and disappointmet
Well we always have Dauntless right Fevir? ;)
Its early release, and they're fixing stuff. WoW and every other MMO went through this shit....calm down
okay counterpoint: bless has tammy radbody in it so who's the real loser here
unfortunately it no longer has forests because she set them all on fire
Literally the only reason I downloaded it was because I wanted to customize a character and idk whether to feel sad or disappointed
Actual conversation I had with someone:
"Yo, check out Bless, it looks so good"
"Everyone says it looks good but I heard it flopped in every country in released in"
"Yeah, I heard that too but they're reworking it for the NA release and it looks good."
Well, that didn't age well.
The second-hand frustration with the stuttering and freezing is palpable.
I didn't even buy this shit and I want a refund.
Oof
I want a refund on the time I spent rofling at the shitshow.
Lol.
Lol
Guild wars 2 is becoming the refugee camp of western mmorpg players
it's a great game xD
also ESO
One of the few MMO's that's actually still growing after being out for so long, Path of Fire really made a difference.
And GW1 is the refugee camp of western mmorpg veterans :3
and thanks to its recent update(s) there are quite some players!
WoW, GW2 and and Final Fantasy are the only MMOs worth the time or money anymore. Though I still prefer WoW because they haven't adopted the putting outfits on a market for $20 model, yet. Fuck that model.
>It's in early access they'll fix it
You know who also said that?
Defenders of PUBG.
What's out of early access and still just as broken?
PUBG.
Because of that, PUBG got dethroned.
Tranticula it's much less broken than it used to be though?
wut? pubg is getting better and better, its nowhere near as bad as bless lel
Tranticula even as broken as pubg is it's still way more fun than bless
Cloud 7k food poisoning is more fun than Bless
You need to pay money for this? Looks like a generic asia f2p mmo
It was. Ftp in KR and all other regions. NA/EU only place paying
It is very much generic, still can't believe its b2p, after all its failures elsewhere, its almost certainly just a shitty cash grab...
Sikksens I'm a partner of other neowiz games and they're all cash grabs and partners are treated poorly in the other games by neowiz. Company's gonna go under sooner or later and I'll be happy.
here's the fun part, its development cost 60 million usd
Fallen Noir Most likely most of it went to hookers and cocaine. No way with that money you'd make a PC MMO that is as bad as a mobile MMO otherwise, without that explanation.
I wish i had seen this video sooner. Money wasted. Refund denied after being told i played more than 2 hrs even though most of the time was spent stuck in loading screen.
this game looks like a 2010 free mmorpg that was already old looking for its time.....
Good thing i waited before buying this...
*BLESS ONLINE ONLY FAILED 3 TIMES*
THERE I TYPE IT!
Looks like a shitty Vindictus.
The chat is a lie!
Four times now. >.> And they're GOIN' FOR FIVE! xD
Who would have thought. A game that has failed multiple times already. Would be bad. I just can't believe it. Surely noone saw this comming.
but it did lol
I saw it coming
Yes,this is a complete and total surprise!
Called it
Aercau X
i seem to emember you from another video, calling it.
It runs so bad, when I look at the footage, I feel like TH-cam is lagging
I thought the same thing, was really confused why the audio was still playing but the video wasn't...
7:31 - T pose to assert dominance among MMo's
I actually exploded with laughter when this happened, caught me off guard so hard.
FilthyRamenKing was
This should be top comment xD
LMAO
A-pose and this isn't a one time thing. Happens in more cut scenes than not from what i've seen so far.
Came here from monster factory
dont worry Bless is good now, Tammy Radbody saved it
Lul
The amount of caution tape on the video I thought it was a crime scene!
Peon murdered Bless in this video, so actually the tape is really on it's place.
Yeah. It was pretty brutal.
Hey peon. Just wrote on the steam community forum about your video and the mods blocked it, others tried too and all mentions to your videos are being removed from the steam forums LOL
Because this video offered zero real input other than the game runs bad.. I still dont know if should buy it
The input went beyond "runs bad". It runs bad, the combat system sucks, the UI is trash, the leveling content is a boring rofflestomp of easy content. And frankly as was pointed out, that if they aren't able to fix these issue by now there's no reason to expect they'll be fixed over the next year or longer.
Ctrl+shift+esc starts task manager automatically
Silas I use this daily for gaming and at work
Mind blown
How the fuck have I not known about this?
thanks man , didnt knew it
Damn you just made me see the light
biggest red flag for me is that they're censoring their steam forums BIG time. I've tried posting my opinion on the game 3 times and because it was negative, every single thread deleted. Then moderator told me that I'm supposed to tell them why I don't like it, not that I just don't like it (even though the whole post was very calm 10 reasons why I don't like it), then told me that "NONSENSE, we're not closing threads!" and then locked that thread too.
edit: my full steam forum dislike review:
1. I don't like the censorship of the story. They're trying to appeal to T for Teen rating, meaning that anything remotely sexual got cut out, which actually left the story completely dissjointed at parts.
2. I don't like the price hike. We were told that the game will be 30$ on release. Currently it's 50$. 50$ for them is = 50 Euros as well, as no conversion was applied there. Supposedly there's going to be a 40$ version soon, but that's still more expensive than originally planned. As the game is a lot more early access than they told us, I don't understand the price.
3. Crafting is made up out of "wait" or "pay real money". Some upset people replied to that comment of mine saying that this is the NORMAL way for an Asian MMO to function, so it can't be a complaint.
4. Performance is awful.
5. Action combat either got delayed, or in their opinion, this is action combat.
6. Translation is incomplete.
7. Getting past the main splash screen is a 50/50
8. Due to trying to keep a perfect balance between the factions, just like servers when they're too full, factions will lock up for character creation. If due to a lockup you and your friends started on different servers, there's no way to transfer. If you already redeemed your special edition items, they're character bound, therefore you can't just abandon the character and create another one with your friend somewhere else instead.
9. I don't like the censorship of the steam forums. It shows to me that instead of wanting to fix things, developers want to PR this and sweep it under the rug.
10. Despite action combat being disabled, or simply not implemented at all, the two classes that were taken out because of the combat overhaul that seems to not have happened are still not in game.
wow...
mirta000 If it'll make you feel any better, feel free to post it here I'm sure many including myself would be interested in your short review.
I really like some indie companies like the guys behind Descenders. The publisher doesn't censor anything and responds to negative reviews with solutions that help.
Really? Because so far it's 38% positive reviews so the negatives are not being deleted at all or else it would be 100% positive reviews
+Luis, they were closing threads, not reviews. I think that they can't delete threads.
Lost Ark now also has the UI lagging bug, where it can take up to like 3 seconds to open certain menus. Programmers that dont know how to multi-thread even now boggles my mind.
Agree, it annoys me a lot
It just shows how stagnant the MMORPG genre is when people were ready to hype Bless the last few months despite its previous track record. So many of us are ready for the next big thing but we can't make something from nothing, and this game is nothing. Oh well, on to the next big thing that we can overhype that will never live up to our unrealistic expectations
imagine being this much of a neckbeard that you hate a company because of a game and want the older version to kill the current one.
and he deleted the comment LUL
Gabriela Mitchell what was the comment
I recommend Star Citizen. Will me the next big RPG
Wow is the only answer. BFA in 2 months.
tbh i've heard little to nothing of bless. there was some hype, but not much at all. first time i heard about it was like a month ago and what i heard was it failed in a couple places and was now coming here.
i am still waiting for Lost Ark
Right bro. Only game that can save mmorpg.
If it ever comes. Looks like a solid game, even for a Korean one.
a closed beta for the EU could be possible right in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2019 and can reach open beta state until end of 2020. All we need is a piece of luck^^
Hate to break it to you mate, you will wait another 5 years..
Ben G Korean games are all amazing just shitty management
Cheers, I can agree with everything you mention in video. I never refunded any game in my 20+ years gaming history..but this game, yes.. refunded few minutes ago, not because of money - it's because they don't deserve money and we (players) need to show middle finger to such companies and give clear info for future game devs.
Tibor how do you refund?? Don’t have the game but I’m curious
For me was same till Mortal Kombat (w/e came 2-3 years ago) and No Men's Sky :) we are good to have YT channels like this one for us to feel informed. And I bet it is a gizmo for devs :)
Nicely roasted turkey leg on Steam top left corner is bar, support.. under support you choose game/DLC and go through questions/selections and that's it. 2 min of work.
Tibor Fr?? Is there a time limit, or any sort of limits? I have games that i regret buying
2 h i think is the time limit
I don't buy a game simply when it says 'early access'. Early access is a term now used for devs to charge you money for a broken game that they 'fix' if and when they can be bothered.
WHAT? That big new MMO that everyone was so hyped about turned out to be a big failure? HUGE SHOCK, who would've thunk!
Spookipooh thunk lmao
BAHAHHAHHAHHA WTF THUNK LMAO
I thunked that 😎
Its cause people expect games to be like WoW after 10+ years and fail to realize games need time to gain content and also not judge an mmo til a week or so after its launched. Peon is also a terrible way to judge a game since he has a nasty habit of "is this game worth it" before the game launches "this game is shit" days after it launches then "this game is amazing" months or years later.
Valenten wow is overrated. I have never understood the hype and ice been around since release lol that said, I'll prob skip this too
Watched a few Bless streams yesterday, learned all I needed to. Nothing about this game appeals to me.
yep, some were playing in low graphics settings to get better performance
I watched about 10 or so streamers and the one thing they all had in common was none of them took the game seriously because they knew it was shit.
Some even say, "This game will be dead soon, but I just want something to play with this many people" LuLz
To be honest, alot of mmos would be still great fun if they had a player base... There were alot of good titles which got patched to death or just went the "Free to Play" aka PayToPlay-Path and fucked up big time.
Archon86 that's cray. I can record it on ultra with a gtx 680.
I love how you can tell that peon is pissed by his voice lol
Difionex TRUE LOLOLOL..
He always sounds like that -.-
1:43 "Maybe this is just a symptom of the game being on Unreal Engine 3, maybe bad coding"
Likely both, and they're sort of an intertwined issue. Unreal Engine (and other general-purpose game engines) is fundamentally unsuitable for MMOs, which is why pretty much all MMOs built using one (Blade & Soul comes to mind, using UE4) perform like shit despite making many sacrifices in graphical fidelity to have it perform at all.
Bad coding might also be a contributing factor, but as the saying goes you can't really polish a turd. They're limited by the tools/engine they're using. And before people jump on me, I'm not saying UE is bad; I'm saying that attempting to build an MMO with it is a fundamentally bad idea since it's not really designed for that purpose.
But that's what you get with the modern gaming industry, 0 fucks given about the actual game, just looking to cut corners and costs while milking the most money possible from players.
Damn,he just butchered the game.
Indeed.
True, but i can't agree more.
I was waiting for the game for at least 5 years. I got my hands on Korean CBT 2 years but it felt like crap. Now it's still the same crap ... But i would play it if not the optimization... You can't simply enjoy the game with that amount of lags and unstability even if it would be good.
You gotta do something about that angst pal.
U hating
LOVE IT
I predict in a couple months why I'm playing bless online video
Bless online - The positives.
still waiting
Bless offline…
As it is in Russia, coming soon to the US, too!
i literally dont want to like this comment because it is at 69
LOL ...
lol @ fanboys supporting another 6 month and forget MMO. They have had ages to fix all these issues, it was released long ago. Just another fail MMO in a sea of failed MMOs. There's no passion, just pure profit driven. Horrible combat, horrible visuals, horrible performance. Pass.
"B-But it has potential!". There, I just replied for everyone in this comment section, since "potential" seems to be the only argument why every flaw this game has should be ignored. For a moment I even though I was in a Sea of Thieves video.
Bless offline
MY GRANDMA WOULD HAVE MORE IN-COMBAT MOBILITY THAN HALF OF THE CLASSES IN THIS GAME - LazyPeon 2k18 😂😂 ahhh I died HAHA
lmaoo i love it so much
Is it true tho
lol
2:50 xDD
its true fking hilarious
People said it failed in 3 regions before so that's why I didn't buy it. And it's not a pro PVE type of game I heard.
Technically only 2, the 3rd was being counted as NA/EU because of the previous attempt to port it to the west getting funding cut off. It mainly failed because of monetization attempts by shitty eastern publishers and the fact that PVP focused mmo's lack popularity with JP and KR audiences. Not to mention the old KR combat system was another major problem. These problems were ammended. It IS a PVP focused game, but it's not ONLY PVP, it has good PVE content as well (old school style MMO's dungeon runs and what not). Once they fix the optimization, this game has heavy potential. Yes it is relatively buggy at the moment, but this isn't the first game to have such problems on launch; and they did revamp the engine so it is more or less like they released the game anew. I would advise against using the previous builds as examples, Neowiz are really trying with this one.
You people ought to look up the definition of "MMO", cause what you said is plain wrong. The most succesful games right now are literally only PvP games, yes, in korea aswell.. League, dota, fortnite and so on.
Those aren't MMORPG's, and aren't relevant to what he's saying.
He never mentioned RPG's, but im glad you found something to say, even though it meant absolutely nothing.
Dota, League etc are MOBA not MMO @Bluu Lesh. They're quite different.
When a UI element is opened, it looks to me like they're waiting for a server response *on the main thread* so the whole game freezes while the query is underway. This of course makes no sense to anyone who's ever written software of any kind that consumes web services. You can never control or fully predict query latency, but you can control how your UI behaves while it waits.
Back to Guild Wars 2!
Yup! I ditched this game so fast. GW2 is the way to go!
WoW is better
FFXIV for me
WoW is better? lol mmorpg has gw2 way higher rated and well it is less cartoony and way better designed ;) Blizzard lost my respect ever since d3
Glad I Waited to Buy.
What will I play now? 😖😔
Xia Xans black desert online
PredatorLX I loved the character customization. But when I spawned in i felt so overwhelmed with everything and felt lonely 😂😂
Just fucking wair 1 more day till its f2p
❤Only Violet's❤ I've never heard of that, I'll have to check it out!
Xia Xans Try out The Elder Scrolls Online
Okay so the number one argument I see defending Bless is: "it's Early Access so it will get better over time". And yeah I agree, that may be so. But the game in it's current state is NOT, and I repeat NOT worth a buy, so everything Peon pointed out in this video rings true. Who cares if they eventually manage to fix it if the game is broken right now. I'll consider buying it MAYBE if they fix the issues and fix translation, but until then, everything Peon said is true, and I will be taking my money elsewhere.
Yup, and it's technically not a new game as well. It's been out for sometime and they had enough time to squash all the bugs and performance issues before the big launch day on STEAM.
idk, Early access isnt really an excuse. This game was released 3 times already and they fck'd up every time. They didnt change shit within all those years. this game will still be the same pile of garbage after years (if it survives that long this time)
You do know the game has been in development globally for several years right? They literally only translated text and audio no actual code change. They have no excuse at all for how shabby the programming is. This game is just a quick cash grab attempt at a desperate gaming market. Therefore if you even have faith left in it after the video, then I implore you never to play an online game again.
Bless means "Goodbye" in Icelandic, so to me this game is perpetually leaving....
Bought the game, managed to get past the loading screen mythic difficulty after 30min, played for 30min with a crash and stuttering (1080ti and 8700k 5ghz OC), got it refunded.... sums the game up well..
Mcwrah I have a 1060 and 7700 and I got 12 FPS lul
1080ti and 8700k 5ghz OC I'm running the same setup, custom build by maingear. Game runs flawlessly for me.... You marry someone after knowing them for only 30 min?
actually if he praised the game constantly after 30 min. THEN your retort would make since. in this case it would be
did you break up after one date?
and ya...if the first date sucks ass. your not gonna go on a second.
mary after 30 min would be the people that still think destiny 2 is the greatest game in the world with no faults after only playing the first mission.
Get your metaphorical analogies correct damn it.
hey everyone this pussy had someone else build his pc for him
Jelly? Paid cash.... sucks being rich huh?
Welp this game was an absolute trainwreck since their og server release so I have no idea why in the world anyone would want this game reopened else where. Such a waste of time.
well*
Simple. Cash grab.
Cause MMO players are the biggest chumps
welp*
Bet you didnt even play and all your experience is from listening to youtubers
Gw2, eso, wow, and ff14 are the only top dogs in terms of quality bar none. Many other great online games but beware of the cash grabs.
You sir know what you're talking about!
Jeremy Wright eso at launch was actually ass. However theyve improved the game sooo much and im actually thoroughly enjoying all parts of the game at this point. I was worried going back into it (tried in 2015, didnt rlly like, tried a little in 2016, and finally really got into it end 2017, and still playing)
Lineage! But not offi
+Good19987 Even FF14 was not good when it launched, it had to be completely revamped to be reach its current glory.
"Opens a web browser in the game." With this, Bless Online has to be the WORST MMORPG of all time.
Looking forward to the "why I started playing Bless Online again" video soon enough ;)
Lmao so true! I am sure he will make that video. What moron plays a game for a few hours and then bashes it 1 day after launch?
It's scary how many people are actually trusting his opinion even though they should know at this point that he changes his mind like a girl about to dress for a date...
I would probably do the same if i were in his position. He does have a negative mood and maybe a partially biased thoughts, but It might at least save someone few bucks and gives him an opportunity to vent off.
Seeing how the game runs and looks on videos from other people doesnt give me any hope. There are a lot of different MMORPGs that look similar and better while providing good performance, especially on older computers. Game needs to be criticized for its shortcomings and they need to be improved.
This is a game from 2012 that launched in multiple regions and now it did straight launch without any alpha or stress test, not doing this tells you something already. It still didnt improve how much it needed to.
In the video though, he didnt said he wont be revisiting. He is just disappointed like the majority of us are and is hoping for a good change. Seeing how many MMORPGs we get yearly now, barely a few, he doesnt really have much chance to either play something or try something new. He will still have to make content on something, and its in both of the interest of viewer and creator to be up to date with current newest releases.
@cesarl2 I am late but BDO is decent, Bless is dead.
@cesarl2 Can you give me the link of that video, please? :)
Thanks dude. Only need another first impressions if they fix the issues after early access.
End game video would be good.
Fran cis what?
TL:DR for this review:
“Games been fucked for years, looks like it will never get fixed”
Aaand you say you want to wait for a first impressions video... lol.
This is why I've stopped becoming excited when something looks promising int he mmo market heh... My guild more or less decided to stick with wow as we keep going back to it anyway and most of us dislike the cash shop in ESO (as much as i enjoy the game I like collecting mounts and my wallet does not like the game..). Maybe someday the market will get something new but I'm stopped holding my breath. I would say FFXIV as I love that one toon can do everything. I love the housing. The main thing that drove me away from the game was sitting on masses of Gil and waiting on houses to open up only to be let down every time. After a year of trying to get a house and three years on my FC house I gave up. I don't need to pay a sub for a game that won't let me spend my virtual currency on the things I want.
They changed the housing system. Currently you can easily get one for your FC.
Leslie Williams as someone as already commented. The housing system was just something that they needed time to improve. And they did. There's enough housing for everyone now.
Come on down to Famfrit. All of my neighbors at both of my houses have moved away. It's a really good time right now to find good houses. Even large ones, which rarely sell.
Try gw2 it's amazing on so many aspects.
There's literally no reason to spend money in the cash shop in ESO... lol
The hell you mean "Even FF14" ?
ff14 combat is so slow so the console players can keep up with pc gamers.
I reached lvl 50 and it was slow asf. Getting a short cool down on all attack skills after using a skill makes the combat pretty slow compare to other mmos. ff14 combat probably has been made to make console players too keep up with the speed
Combat in ffxiv isnt slow.
Sks 0sir1s For console its not slow but PC gamers definitely
@@BboyMikazz that makes zero sense at all. It's the same game on the same servers. The problem is ya'll comparing action mmos to FFXIV. FFXIV combat is a cross between old school and action mmos of course it's going to seem slower then them doesn't mean it's slow.
This game died years ago. Why are we talking about it?
Because they fixed and relaunched in the West
"fixed" l o l
You been living under a rock for all those years since the game died?
@Xialoh Different builds. At least let those willing to help improve it do so ;) We're taking the risk. No one is saying you should buy into it ^_^
Who knows the world been fucked since beginning of time.
bye have beautiful time
It's a shame for NEOWIZ to launch Bless Online in the West in such a horrible way. And even more embarrassing is that other youtubers and streamers encourage the purchase of the game by saying that such bad graphics optimization is normal for MMORPGs. Great video TheLazyPeon, you got a fan here from Brazil :D
I saw a part if shrouds and sodapoppins stream and they both said that it is one of the shittiest games they have ever played. They had to wait forever because of the servers beeing laggy af and crashed every few minutes or sth like that...only seen the end where they said that.
BDO quiting reason - failing a pen roulette
Bless quiting reason- EVERYTHING!
god bdo’s progression is like walking through a time trap
Alex Le exactly, at TRI it becomes a time trap and that gives to the new players a chance to catch up a little bit, that's why i'm not mad about bdo, they just keep the bussniess going
as a new player to bdo, well.. i been playing for a good 5-6 months now ~1000hrs logged about half processing, the game is fuckn great... yes the enhancement is time consuming and frustrating at time, i sat on a +12 kzarka staff for LITERALLY 300 mem frags, it hit +13 and its already taken 50 mem frags from me, but guess what... THATS THE HARD GRIND, you know how many people are hyped for the world of warcraft vanilla? that shit is a grind fest to get to just 60, i mean months... MONTHS, and people are hyped for that... but when it comes to getting down to the grinding business in an action combat based mmo fuck that gimme my loot now? what gives?!?!?! also, you can choose to go for the tet buy route instead of the enhance, just buy your tets... it requires more farming but its a 100% guarantee. im sitting at 464 renown now, and that's not too bad imho... i still have asulas/grunil to replace aswell XD and its kept me hooked for this long, AND the devs actually give back to the community when shit fucks up... that month of a free vp and karma blessing was noice!
jonkrchvpve I’m new to bro as well only 6 or 7 weeks with few artisans skill, lvl 59/57/50 and love everything so far and got dandelion and kzarka pri. Yeah and I’ve tried for tungrad and cres pro it kinda pissed me off and I can imagine yet and pen but I don’t think it’s bad at all, it keeps items and money out of game along side of letting new players catch up.
usually new players do not get their hands on boss gear and the regular stuff it's freakin easy to repair lol and they also added the enchanced regular gear drop, so most of new players will get half of gear to +15 just from drops until level 58/59 following questline.
Hey, Italian subtitles, cool, that's not very common. :)
I'm even using TH-cam in English, this means that I didn't see them just because I'm Italian, the guy (-stewan-) actually created the subtitles adding the timing by himself, great job man!
Thank you so much for your review. Gonna buy gems from GW2 instead :).
Well, looking forward to your GW2 Videos :3 Would be nice for you to do an introductory video or tutorial or tips and hints videos at some point.
Just replying to help this comment stay up there because I would like to see that too since I'm considering playing gw2
If you do, I recommend buying the game instead of playing it for free. Gives you a lot more.
except for the stuck in title screen problem im not having any of these issues :/
I've never make a refund request so fast in my life.
I love it how in combat, the torso and the lower body act like they are two different characters, one moving the character and the other attacking the target LOL!
Thanks for the warning, Korea needs to stop puking all these "MMO's" and focus on quality instead of quantity.
More 'pretty looking hot garbage' mmorpg's from the Asian market. So much potential gone to waste :/
Ummm gw2 has 2012 graphics and still looks better
Jose Flores to be fair not many games out there can beat the graphics of gw2.
I would call it unique 2012 graphics
Wild Gengar id say BDO have the BEST graphics on mmo games rn, and will probably still be in the next few years
BDO >>> Realistic , Gw2 >>>> Fantasy but i play both so they are unique at best
the combat in gw 2 is rly bad, the character moves with delay..
unironically my favorite mmorpg of all time , played 1K+ hours . and now i'm here left with no mmo's to play cus the most liked games are the games i like the least & the least appreciated games are the ones i like the most 😆 hard life
Haha I also really liked this game XD
'Early access' Lol its been out for like 2 fucking years
1: Its failed 2-3 times
2: You can only do a limited amount of dungeons (excuse to stop power leveling)
3: You cannot trade with anyone (excuse for gold sellers to not be in game)
4: games been out for like 2 years and its 2018 and its releasing with 5 classes
5: only pvp servers (i personally love pvp but having no pve servers will certainly give you a small player base)
These are issues i saw with the game that made it not feel like an mmorpg once so ever and lazypeon just brought up more issues. He is right this game is an embarrassment. No the developers should be embarrassed. Release it on early access and ask for 40-200$ thats just stupid as well.
Thank you for talking me off the fence. Now if I could somehow tell my past self to not buy Star Wars Battlefront by EA somehow..
Or you can wait a day and get a better deal because it will actually be released its only been out a day lol what do you think would happen??
Really, does anyone in 2018 still expect Unreal Engine MMORPG to have been optimized and with good performance. Seriously look in the market, full of examples that Unreal Engine just doesn't cut it for games if you want performance. In general as soon as i see Unreal Engine mark on a MMORPG game, expect it's performance to be total shit, especially in crowded areas.
bless is shit stfu ;)
Tera is a good example on why should we not play MMOs on unreal engine 3
4:15 "And even FFXIV."
Sorry maybe I'm drowning in bias but I can't seem to find out why people downplay FFXIV combat so much. It has issues but it's not nearly as bad as people say.
It SUCKS and its BOOOOOOORING.
FFXIV is a snoozefest, and being able to solo content as a healer is a joke.
Hey Peon
use this to uncap fps
1- SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > Bless Online > Engine > Config.
2- Open BaseEngine.ini in notepad (or whatever you use to edit textt files).
3- Find bSmoothFrameRate and change its value to FALSE from TRUE.
4- Save the file
they did this while packaging the game i find it useless to put bSmooth and limit it to 62
i will try to make few mods to fix some of the stuff they did wrong on client side
You shouldn't need to optimize a game for the developers, that means the developers don't know what they're doing and will lead to more problems and DIY projects to fix their broken game.
If the foundations are shaky no matter how much you build it will still shake.
Randcarte mods do wonders. Though that doesn't apply to mmos
mods are great for quality of life changes, yes, like DPS meters and stuff like that. You shouldn't need to fix FPS issues due to improper settings in the game. these settings should already be optimized before the game reaches the state of Beta access which is the old name for "Early Access" if this was an alpha test or something it would be understandable, but beta tests and "early Access" should be for fine tuning numbers in your games, like how much Damage X skill does.
Even games like Skyrim shouldn't technically need to be optimized by the player's for the base game(optimization to get mods to function better together are good). using Skyrim as an example, it game is actually very poorly optimized and shouldn't have been released in the state it was in, like most Bethesda games, but it did launch like that, and because the gameplay was decent it didn't get much flak for it(also because Bethesda is known for it's buggy games).
I think when ppl make quality of life mod and upgrades to there games they should give them credit and maybe free stuff then patch it in to the game to make there game better after all they did that much work to help it means they really like your game on some level
My honest review :
- I was so hyped about this game, so I bought their founders pack to get that " 2 days head start " , etc.
- Got stuck on the loading screen for hours with the towers picture, couldn't even create my char.
- When I finally got in, the FPS was crap and I have EVGA 1080 SC !
- Logging out means you probably won't be able to log in again.
- The lag was terrible, the servers were crowded and the fact that WE AS PREMIUM users didn't got a reserved slot on the servers to log in freely without any problems was so unprofessional !
- Constant updates and creating NEW servers was so stupid ! How the hell you want to release a new game with ONE EU SERVER ????
- No auto attacks
- 2 days head start was a lie obviously , more like few hours head start.
CONCLUSION :
- Waste of money right now.
- Too expensive for getting pretty much nothing as a premium user with founder pack.
- I got the refund today and MAYBE one day I might get back, but they need to fix their crap before they lose every player AND now I understand (one of the reasons) why they failed in earlier launches in Oceania and Asia ...
ADVICE:
- Think twice before buying, cause you might get disappointed as I did ... HARD !
"- The lag was terrible, the servers were crowded and the fact that WE AS PREMIUM users didn't got a reserved slot on the servers to log in freely without any problems was so unprofessional"
Literally all the people are premium, how do you expect them to give you a reserved slot if everyone that owns the game is premium, U think they'd choose you over any other premium user? Hell naw.
"The lag was terrible, the servers were crowded and the fact that WE AS PREMIUM users didn't got a reserved slot on the servers to log in freely without any problems was so unprofessional !" i mean to be fair anyone playing before the 30th is premium
Indeed but still, releasing 1 server.. Like what, did they expect a few hundred players? Lmao
I guess they didn't learn anything about the other mmorpgs.
Seeing as you only replied to one of his points i assume the rest was valid. ;)
Nah i just don't really care, i'm also on my way to bed and need the 7 hours sleep and 40$ is 2 times if not more than it is worth,. I'll purchase the game when it's price is 10-15 euro probably if it's 20 euro.
Fundamental for any game "IT HAS TO BE PLAYABLE" you fail in that part you fail the rest of the game
They were allowed to launch, i'm here because i got scamed, steam has lost 1 customer for allowing this to happen again.
True gamers looks for a game that suits himself and enjoy. Sheep players will find a game that suits others(Peon) and enjoy.
Just play LOTRO, Guild Wars 2, WoW or Warframe.... Oh and ESO, these games are still going strong so please I greatly recommend them!
lotro is still going? it looked terrible 5years back
Who gives a shit about graphics in an MMO? No one, its about the experience and general fun and the people playing with you... And yes its still very fun to this day
I thought LOTRO was dead tbh.
I played it many many years ago.
Yes, Warframe!
This game reminds me of Lotro. It runs like shit too.
They knew how shit it was. Its a last chance to grab some cash for them. Game is broken.
Lukas Karvauskas I beg You, hate this games, so i can play without laggs ty
Sedan Schammo Unfortunately even without any players the game will run like shit. You're welcome tho.
I'm playing the game right now and I currently haven't run into anything that's made hate the game.
Had to sorta my graphics resolution out a little, but now it runs quite smoothly while still looking nice to look at, except i'm flying into seperate or different zones, model and areas take a few seconds to load and polish out. Combat is nice also, liking the combo system it has going.
Currently sitting at lvl 21 and i'm semi gripped via the story atm, not that it's bad (playing on empire side.) Cutscenes may need a little work though, nothing too serious, my character just acts all weird sometimes in them.
Did my first dungeon, which was soloable, assuming the difficulty increases with a group. Was a nice way to get gear and exp though.
Haven't tried much pvp yet.
And my only grip was that the assassin class was locked, as well as the three other classes, that was quite annoying for me.
But that's my piece of info, I would recommend people atleast try the game out and for more then an hour if that's possible.
thanks for saving me some money peon. always happy to see a video from you
HKSpades when it's "released" it will be
About the performance btw, the r/ Bless has already found a way to literally triple your FPS and basically eliminate most performance issues by just editing a Settings file.
For all the rest of the complaints though... welp. I guess I'll be waiting a while and see if the devs give a fuck and start fixing things, since I have no other thing to look forward to.
I mean day one review yeah... But when you take into consideration that this game has already failed in multiple regions.. And they haven't fixed any of those issues... Why would anyone buy this
They have fixed pretty much all those ”issues” except some optimization lol. Get informera pls :)))
Is bless made by maker of PUBG where did my performance go
And the wait continues for the GREAT MMO game that was said to be PROPHECY. The 2nd coming of the great savior is upon us all....I just hope to be alive when that prophecy is fulfilled.
Idk if I can see myself gaming as a grandparent but I sure as hell will fuckin try
Is Lost Ark going to be the MMO's community Jesus? I sure hope so.
atta boy m8.
18 hours played stil lgot a refund. BASED GABEN.
i have 4 and they didnt give me one..
i played for 7 hours and got a refund , well to be accurate 1 hour of gameplay and 6 for queues + blue screen +dcs
Master Gaben has looked upon you favorably :P
Played for 11hours and got my refund a few hours ago.
which version did you get the basic one or the deluxe ?
Wow! You go man :D Glad you put this out so quickly, saved me a big hassle and I trust your judgement
Kahsa which one would you recommand and why? Wanna try something other than wow. Im a huge pve end content fan if that helps with the recommandation.
def ff14, pvp sucks tho so keep that in mind
They should do a Bless Online free week/weekend, kind of like what Blizzard does with Overwatch ocassionally, just so people can see if they like the game enough to buy it. With the amount of negative reviews its gotten, I just don't see any reason to buy the game just on the off chance that I might enjoy it, and Steam's 1 hour refund policy doesn't work well for games like MMOs where you need to spend a significant time playing in order to get anywhere.
Its free to play now. Start on 6 mins on steam
guess we goin back to gw2
sKiiTs8 try black desert online :)
try world of warcraft :)
branimir CLASSIFIED That game has literally gone to shit lol.
gw2 is the shit!
Josh Smith no legion is cancer
What does a man have to do, to get another Ultima Online?
Fuck, I give my firstborn for an actually UO 2 or UO remake.
Play Albion.
I tried Albion skill depth isn't anywhere near the same, nor is the exploration/housing. Also, I miss the danger, like danger everywhere. In UO I remember having my ship key pickpocketed in town, IN town. And his skill was high enough that calling the guards wouldn't work. So I tried to chase him but the cat was crazy good with a poisoned kryss.
The guy looted my hold but was cool enough to give the key back. I miss SOS bottled, player vendor houses, the depth of the skills and the fact no one could tell you level/skill by looking at you. UO was just so good, I haven't seen anything else come close.
Legends of aria. Its in early access, and an awesome clone so far.
@RepTicTie, if you ever played UO and Shroud you know what they aren't even close to the same thing. Which is why you shouldn't by into PR BS.
I'm so glad i saw this before buying it. you saved me money! Cheers mate! :D
I don't really understand how you can complain about combat in this game feeling static, and then praise WoW's combat. Any caster class in WoW literally isn't allowed to move if they're using their abilities, and even for classes like Warrior and Paladin that do allow you to move, in low-level PvE there's rarely a reason to, since you can get by just as well by just standing there and pushing your buttons. The only class that's at all rewarded for moving during combat is the Rogue, and even then it feels like you're wading through a pool of jelly just to get your backstab procs.
I'm sure as hell not defending Bless, since I'm sure it is garbage, but it kind of bugs me when people complain about MMO combat without ever criticizing WoW's spam-your-buttons style.
I generally love the whole idea of the mmorpg genre.. Teaming up with others against bosses, pvp, questing, storytelling,etc. I have tried many games mostly F2P and my conclusion is that WoW is the king of those... Yes it is p2p but they give you quality and fun gameplay. And this is coming from someone who hates p2p or p2w titles. It is so disappointing that a 2004 game is the best at 2018.
dude how about you give the game a few days to fix bugs and stabilize the servers before you go and tell people to refund their game. A lot of what you are saying was fixed the next day. Many of the comments you made about the UI and combat systems are just simply not true. Just because the combat isn't a wow clone like you want it to be doesn't mean it is bad. How about you put more than 3 hours into a game before you shit all over it..... smh
Michael Joy they will never fix all the problems
Or want do u think why the Korean servers going offline?
Blind hyped people are so stupid ...
Atlantus Atti over the past few days they have been actively fixing bugs and taking community input as well as distributing population to increase server stability. Granted most of these bugs should have been taken care of pre launch but that have shown a tremendous effort when it comes to fixes.
Michael Joy dude this game is 2 years old
How they can't fix some bugs before release the games
Well He said he'd play till end game. If these issues are fixed it will be noted in the next video on it.
He's not asking it to be WoW combat, he's asking for it not to be a clunky trashfire.
So would you recoment this game?
Now in 2020 the game was re-released in the form of Blessed Unleashed and almost every issue from two years ago still stand for the PS4 version. It's a goddamn joke
Super late to this party, but yes, the halting and freezing are a result of UE3. It doesnt play well with newer hardware in the way textures are called. The freezing is distance texture loading. I hate it.
Also a mega late reply here -- but why do other UE3 games feel great? Tera had great performance.
It's F2P now... which is why I wait and don't buy games when they first come out...
I was looking forward to this game sooo much and after looking at the reviews it sounds like the worst game ever made
Probably the reality is somewhere in the middle, I'm sure there has been a lot of problems due to lunch rush, as well as some that just wasn't handled by Neowiz. If you looked forward to it, maybe try it out, and decide for yourself. Peon seems very quick to jump on the band wagon. I personally prefer to decide for myself.
Wow. At one point this gameplay was amazing, and looked better than anything on the market.
Seems like this is not accidental. I think Bless wants to keep it Chinese.
I think they failed, or they overplayed their hand. You see this more often when something small goes big. I remember KFC changed meat supplier once.
The supplier thought it could handle the *mass* production at a lower price. Hmhm...
Every company wants to make money, gain fame. They either went to grab the money with a scheme, or they messed up. I don't think they wanted to 'keep it chinese'.
Chinese suppliers often also cut the wrong corners. It's apparently crossculturally pretty popular to either be a crook, or a doofus. Excellence is rare.
Play GW2: Path of Fire instead and join WvW. :O Ah yeah! The mist war needs bodies! Plus, you can actually experience a skill curve and not have to grind forever. You will win or lose based on your input to the bloody controls! Not because the guy beside you paid 200 dollars so he could stomach grinding for months to be higher level. Lookin at you BDO!~ Imagine, an mmo where your build and knowledge of the class determine if you win or not. :O
Sahfiel13 You're right about BDO. Might be taking a break soon. Would you recommend any channels for GW2 for new players?
Dulfy, the Guild Wars 2 wiki, Wooden Potatoes are all very good channels/websites to look at. My advice for starting out is to enjoy the experience and realize that although the base/free game is nice the game drastically improves throughout each living world (an update to each base game/expansion.. the in between updates that were free) and expansion. So sticking with it is good.. and if you get super impatient I know its odd to suggest but skipping to one of the expansions might be the leap in quality/accessibility (especially with specializations, mounts and gliding) that is needed to push the game over the edge. The story is certainly good though, but the game is 5 years old and so the early content is blown away by the new stuff. The expansions arent a huge deal though - you have no subscription fee and in the long run other than cosmetics this game isn't going to sap away money other than that.. you get it out of the way once instead of a monthly fee where a company effectively ransoms your data like some mmo or "premium" member scams. The combat starts simple but once you unlock specializations it becomes very visceral and it just feels right rather than the clunky movement and combat of most of these games.
No wonder this game failed in other regions.
i already refunded
disappointing
that's so funny you can refund
Why would anyone even buy this game
How do you refund?
I think the steam version?
Rich Cos in the steam app. go to the help section.
The stuttering when opening menus could very well be a poor choice of font and how that font is being rendered. I have seen this with several games in the past that EVENTUALLY ended up patching the text. If this has become such a problem across so many games, you'd think that game devs would know how to pick and render their fonts by now.
