>What is Blade & Soul?
Blade & Soul is a Korean fantasy martial-arts MMORPG developed by Team Bloodlust(NCsoft). The game is heavily grounded in Chinese culture and martial-arts, and was praised for its dynamic combat and high skill-cap PvP. Currently in Korea, its one of the most played games and even has an esports scene that is fairly popular. Recently began NA and EU weekend betas!
>Whats is the class system like?
Currently there are 8 classes with only 7 on NA/EU release. There is no trinity of roles but instead, certain classes act as tanks in PvE while most classes have a self heal or lifesteal ability. Another unique thing is how CC can be applied to almost all bosses if applied enough times.
>Release Date was confirmed for January 19th, 2016 with name reservations beginning January 11th, 2016

Well, you should have 8 stones by that point, so it is easier to get. I dont like spending stones tho, because there are other things to spend them for (like costumes), and purple dungeon ones require lots of unsealing charms, which are pricey. And thing is, scorpion set is totally fine till lvl 45, but you usually grind each world boss a little, so why dont you take its bopae then.

How important is a low ping is this game?
>>123790170
I dunno, man. I think they're pretty cute.
>>123790840
Very important. Some classes like KFM are highly dependent on low ping to play effectively.
>>123790840
Very, VERY important.

I played the beta waaay way long ago and sorta forgot about it until I heard about this upcoming one. So now I'm a little rehype. Do cats actually grow now? Or did I not know about that before?
>>123792492
>pretty...eeeeh
>eeeeh
>>123792774
Wait, Cats can grow?
I didn't think they could? I think Mines been the same size since I started. Granted there's two other slots on the pet bar for Summoner that do nothing to my knowledge
>>123792892
I don't know, that's what the post I quoted kind of implied? Unless they evolve or something. It was years ago, I don't remember much about the game other than I had lots of fun despite the really shitty English patch.
>>123792084
Do you even read bro?
>>123792774
>>123792892
You can change their size at the cat customizers in the major villages (Jadestone, etc.)
>>123793086
Well there's two or three tall as fuck cats.
>Image related
Granted I have SEEN some abnormally HUGE fucking cats. I don't know how it's possible but the siamese cat companion was as tall as a normal human; but that was on a Twitch Stream so I don't know.
This is another players cat, I think it's the tallest one you can get to my knowledge (which is limited)
So what class is everyone maining when the game releases? I am stuck between FM, Sin and Destroyer.
>>123793394
oh duh thanks
shit i just realized the beta i was hyped for already started.. welp. I guess that means I didn't get in. How long's this beta?

It's 12 hours. It says 11 hours when you start it because it rounds down.
Also, FYI the 10 charm and 20 charm crafts are also 12 hours. The hard part is getting the damn refiner, which has an escalating craft time and material cost.

/terag/ why
>>123805569
Why is this even a poll? Anyone with any sense of design quality will say lyn are cuter. People voting for elin probably just believe "Intentionally sexualized" = "cute"
>>123806016
>>123806406
>>123806251
They could also be voting for them because their customization is actually far more limited, resulting in fewer monstrosities.
In which case they'd still be fucking idiots. But it's an explanation.
>>123806251
But Elins are overal superior, they are cuter and hot to boot.
>>123806596
Probably the last one

>>123806785
Yeah, except for the part they're not and you're wrong. Doll faces + noodle arms + oversized hands + negative asses + huge hips does not make for a cute and/or hot combo unless you're into alien freaks. And Elin don't look anywhere near as decent in that picture you posted.
Now fuck back off to /terag/ with your photoshopped shit.
>>123806785
Elins can be very cute, but none actually look like that
I just like that Lyn's have sliders to actually make them how you want them to be, instead of just slightly editing facial presets and choosing a hair color.
Also, its much more difficult to be a smug Elin.

>>123808793
there are two tipes of nodes.
The gathering guild related ones you collect it one time and order the rest from the guild.
The water and ore nodes on the map are shared for all players on the server with a cooldown (first are is 40 minutes).
>>123809263
Am I the only one who thinks this is really stupid and takes all the fun out of crafting?
>>123808859
Even if Elin had the cutest faces ever, they would still be offset by their terrible bodies. Its like the designers couldn't decide if they wanted to make little girls or mature, tiny sized women, and the results are horrific.
YOU DESERVE

>>123809027
I've made a Lyn preset a few threads ago, but I've never personally made Lyns for people, so I can't guarantee it won't turn out looking like shit. Though, if you have a Lyn already made but can't perfect it, I can try my slider-fu on it if you provide the preset.
>>123789298
Dezzro, Mushin
>>123810285
I can't even decide what hair style/tail+ears I'd want for a Lyn, they're all equally weird, and I'll have to make a LBM/Summoner sooner or later.
Anything that looks sleepy/smug would probably do.
If you want to go above and beyond, you could try doing something with orange/red skin.
Right after a cutscene I was sent here. Bless the escape button.

Upgrade fodder, which you can find plenty of throughout the game. I'd guess that in later patches they'll add Attack 1 weapons that are meant to be glamoured that can only be crafted by Blacksmiths.
Until then, make hammers.

Furfag strikes againI enjoy some furshit from time to time but only if I can actually find something that isn't extremely gay, extremely shit, or extremely disturbing, which usually is 90% of any furshit. The furfags who make that shit are living, breathing, disgusting, obnoxious turds.

>>123823810
Yeah sure, when you're 20 or maybe 30
Do I need to fix anything? Other than the spaghetti fingers.
>>123821914
That outfit in particular makes your feet look bigger than it actually is
>>123821914
I'm on cynderlands and didn't find any outfit that looks better on a Jin yet. I hope this changes on the future.

Here's what I came up with so far. Never tried anything with orange skin, so I tried my best to make it work somehow.
Are you supposed to be getting something from farming faction kills?
>>123824618
The face and bieber hair.
>>123825118
You're lying. If there wasn't anything then I wouldn't see people farming and complaining about getting killed while farming.
I just want to know what they're doing it for..
>>123825303
Someone told me you unlock wall running from faction rank, but I just hit the 40's and haven't grinded any yet so I don't know for sure.
>>123825398
you get wall running in the last area of the current playable game but farming PC kills will give you +piercing at 100 and 1000 or 10000 cant remember
>>123825398
nah, I have wallrunning and I've done no open world pvp stuff.
>>123825303
Depends on what faction. If you meant crimson/cerulean it's mostly equipment and outfits. The only faction that matters outside of that is bamboo guard/blackram to farm for the tokens to get the outfits.
>>123824682
Eh, I think they're platform shoes like most.
>>123824779
There's a few.
>>123825580
>>123825542
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
and I forgot about the +piercing stuff, so it does pay off to camp people, I better get my jerk shoes on for live.
>>123824618
Ayy lmao
>>123825772
> I think they're platform shoes like most
Was enough to make me remake a few of my characters
>>123789298
GUIZ GUIZ I HAVE A SITUATION/PROBLEM
I need to know if I should main Force Master, Destroyer, or both!
Is leveling two characters at once too grindy in this game? Or should I max one then go onto the other?
>>123825582
I meant factions in general, but more specifically bamboo/blackram
>>123825542
I heard this too but I don't know what faction is supposed to do that
Does anyone have anything concrete to tell? I want to know what faction I'm supposed to be grinding. I also don't see where the costumes are that are unlocked by faction kills. The shit I find from google is really just heresay and I don't see a wiki page for this unless I'm blind and retarded
>>123826662
I dont think leveling 2 characters is to grindy, I have a summoner and a LBD around the same level and Im not bored yet
>>123826662
leveling is a breeze so do both if you want. I'm pretty sure the game starts with 2 character slots.
>>123826775
i think its any faction PC kill
>>123826494
Here's a (you) for you, too, anon!
