I really enjoyed the combat back when I still played. The biggest problem that made me quit is the optimization in the endgame raids. I would have 60fps running outside but stepped in a raid and it reduced to 10fps.
Tbh the early stages of the game are usually dead and the dungeons are meaningless until you finish the story mode or atleast get to a certain point to unlock the ones that matter which makes most people just quest rush.
bro in blade and soul there is no social content to do until u finish the story... u usually finish the game in like 4 days and after that only the latest daily dungeons and raids are played! u usually spend like 5 to 20 days playing the game then forget about it for like 2-3 years... that game was to appear in 2011 but launched in 2016 and was played nicely until 2018 when u could still do story lvl up and interact with some people at some point for lower lvl dungeons but after that ppl got bored and left it... also the money shop is a totally screw up scam
Is it STILL doing that???? I tried downloading the game when they upgraded to UE4 and it did the same thing. It took me 10hours to download the game! If I remember correctly I had to close the launcher, then restart it, let it download the file it was stuck on and when it gets stuck again, exit, then restart. Rinse and repeat until you're done. It's crazy how they still haven't fixed that issue.
Look on my Aion video, i had the same issue i got it fixed when you login with email, dont login with the link to GMAIL or other links, cause it will lock you to a Korean region and the game will keep interrupting the download.
its free to play, so id say give it a shot, its not everyone's cup of tea at the moment due to p2w stuff, most have abandoned the game, but you will still see some players running around.
The worst part it. It's not even pay to win, it's pay and get your 100 hours weekly in the game. Everything you pay for will be worthless in 2 to 3 months because you can get those items in the story again that are way more powerfull. Unless you spend 100 hours a week grinding for all the souls and pets, this isn't a game for your lifestyle and can never beat anyone in openworld pvp if you don't pay 100's of dollars every week and don't play atleast 40 hours a week.
AT LAUNCH, BnS was preeeetty fun. Unfortunately, ping really fucked all South America players (like me), even with VPN. In this game, you really need to have low ping for the fast combat the game offers. The enrage timer on bosses is tight AF. A slower rotation due to high latency would fuck you over because you would hit enrage almost 100% of pulls ON ITEM LEVEL, even if you played perfectly. But the real end-game was the Arena PvP and Factions PvP. The game was pretty balanced in Arena. Some classes were harder to play and had slight advantages or disadvantages against certain matchups, but nothing players couldn't handle and didn't feel unfair. Open world PvP and Factions PvP though were just a freakshow of whales one shotting F2P. A good game, good idea, good combat system in a sea of WoW tab targeting shitshow copies (at the time of launch). It was refreshing but the game had the same fate as almost all games created and managed by Korean game companies: death by greed.
NA bns servers used to be located in texas but they moved the servers to virginia a few years ago.. which is good for me since i live in virginia (what a coincidence lol) but a bad thing for south america since texas is closer to south america
How did you download blade&soul .. I already Download it but its Korean Version Can You help me ? I really want to Comeback at this game Its been years I played it so i really miss it you know
Yeah beginner area is pretty dead. End game area is a bit more crowded. Early days were fun however meo classic will be an updated classic version of the game. Not the same. Still waiting for it tho.
i had a good time in this game back in the day, loved the combos and gameplay, sadly they just killed the game like all the ncsoft games, some times i wish i was filthy rich so i could buy ncsoft and revive these games the right way whatever that would be ;-;
Those areas will be dead by now everyone is high lvl and it gets so much better later on but the no.s are dwindling. An early areas are now just empty of life and quests unlike on release
The veteran player of over 7 years here the p2w comments are bogus the game gave back in the day everything you needed and the only thing you needed to bring was brain this is something p2w complainers did not have and to be perfectly honest the average whale didnt have either in raids if you had th highest dps you were basically exempt from doing mechs. The lower dps people had to do the mechs and ultimately carried the raid. I was that low dps player as a destroyer and 2-4 fps at worst and 24-40 at best 174-250 ping cleared every raid. The problem was lazy and anti-social people If you want to talk about the performance we all can admit it started good then progressively became assier with each update raids we all had to use multitools and bns buddy to lower the effects to bare minimum and on 32 bit. Crashes all the time in raids every week-end i would be emailing the gms to restore my lost dynamics. Senior Community manager after jonathan and bethany left was the absolute worst The game as it is now is a very solo and casual experience. The game pretty much died shortly after the awakening patch. Yet here i am still playing this god damn game everyday with my clan completely dead hopefully theyll come back in neo classic
The game is pay to win. Trove and Favor's fortune existing completely destroy your argument. That said, the grind is allot more f2p friendly than before with almost everything coming from 4 man dungeons. If you can find a group of 2-3 other people with similar gear, you can all clear really well and gear up somewhat fast.

how did you play it? i keep looking for a link to download
@@rochellejoydaragosa9363 when you login make sure you login with your email and password, do not use the links to login(Gmail, facebook…)
Blade and soul neo classic once it comes out to west!
at first it was one of the best mmos out there then came lot boxes... rng p2w garbage and killed it and its coming from a veteran player..
boobs and soul was legit fun as fuck when it first came out. I was there day one
Vanilla BNS up until lvl 45 was peak. Then they killed it.
every single player is in mushins tower, there should be no players anywhere in lower player zones
I really enjoyed the combat back when I still played. The biggest problem that made me quit is the optimization in the endgame raids. I would have 60fps running outside but stepped in a raid and it reduced to 10fps.
I can vouch for that the worst my.fps was was 2-4 fps in the scarlet conservatory luckily I was a destroyer on shadow build
thats why i played explosions gunslinger with auto combat. It was impossible to play otherwise. Just hold right click and hope for the best.
Tbh the early stages of the game are usually dead and the dungeons are meaningless until you finish the story mode or atleast get to a certain point to unlock the ones that matter which makes most people just quest rush.
any mmorpg that could not feed their F2P player will eventually ruin their game.. cuz without F2P player the server will endup dead

I want to try the game out is it worth playing right now , combat looks sick !

Is this the same as blade and soul revolution?
The Mobile game? I haven’t played it but I’m guessing they are not the same
best fighting in Video game history...

the fact that so many side quests were removed from the game is so upsetting to me.
oh shit, i didnt knew about that!
I want to download but I think it's not free anymore.
did you pay to DL it?
Free to play and download
@@ThisisNasko do you have tutorial on it? coz I can't see the direct download on the website all I can see is the membership

For a more realistic feel for the game. you have to finish the story. i know that doesnt make sense, but that how BnS is.
Those areas will be dead by now everyone is high lvl and it gets so much better later on but the no.s are dwindling. An early areas are now just empty of life and quests unlike on release
I hope Youll notice me for this
I'm playing Blade and Soul 2 right now and it's so much fun, I've been playing the game for almost a year now.
oh the end game grind was fun and the pvp was amazing too! too bad ncsoft being tooo greedy as always ruins there own game.
I still enjoy this game.
