Alin-Florin Grosu It's coming to the U.S. this winter - 2015. It says so on their U.S. NCSoft English page. Beta is happening and has been confirmed. :3

Uhmm yes xD what exactly are you trying to say? XD I know every information :D It's gonna be up to play in December. Don't know if beta or full content then. Beta might start even earlier or don't know :p

Alin-Florin Grosu i play on russian server too :), that sin didnt even use his mine/grenade x.x he couldve got in a lot more dmg

You don't need grenade in tournaments dude lol. It'll just kill you automatically.

what? how would a grenade kill the sin? the aerial why he had the bm strung up wouldve done somewhere from 4-9k and then the sin could sneak back to stealth...

+ҲҲƛMƁЄƦƑƖƦЄ♠ So far Tera is the only MMO I've played with a combat system I like, though Vindictus looks pretty cool. Should I play it? x.x

+ҲҲƛMƁЄƦƑƖƦЄ♠ vindictus only has good combat, it sucks in every other aspect. low population, horrible servers, run by nexon who only cares about maplestory, garbage pvp, and what i personnaly hate is that too many people make half naked girls or play as guys in bathing suits. no bad assery.

***** That's pretty much every F2P MMO ever xD

+ҲҲƛMƁЄƦƑƖƦЄ♠ I know it's a it late of a comment, but yeah you should play Vindictus. It's especially fun when you play with a dedicated group of friends.

+ҲҲƛMƁЄƦƑƖƦЄ♠ There's also Continent of the Ninth Seal which is like BnS but is more combo-based

Bro Z The guy u see in this clip is known as the legendary blade master of Blade & Soul. He won many tournaments although another BMs was eliminated before 1/16 or 1/8 rounds, it made the difference becos' no one think BM can be strong like that at that moment - or maybe just him. Unexpectly, the class style was change after v2.3 patch and he had quitted the game because of military obligation 1 month before the final tournament (KR vs CN) last year was held. Nowadays, I still don't see better BM player than him, seriously :)

***** I'm more concerned about class balancing itself rather than the players. I've seen it time and time again how BM's defeat other classes. There are even videos proving how BM's have the highest burst dmg above all others. The top PvPers in every server are BMs, LBMs and Assassins. So legendary or not, this guy doesn't seem all that special to me. Where's the balance in PvP?

Bro Z That's just your assumption. Start watching Summoner and Force master videos and see how everyone keeps calling those classes "OP". If you see videos revolving around a particular class then they can appear to be OP when they're not. I'm surprised you didn't even include Kung Fu Master in your list because I've seen manyyy people consider that to be the most OP of them all. It's just about how you see it. Honestly, I think the system is pretty fair for now. There are tons of strong players in every class. It's all about which ones you encounter, your level, equipment, build, and tactical skill level. There's a lot of things that come into play in a match. But there is no class that will guarantee you a win 100% of the time no matter what.

ai i I sure hope you're right. That'll give me something to look forward to when it releases in NA

Bro Z summoner is extremely op especially for sin, assassins are bm counters so they are very op when fighting bm's, this bm was just simply more skilled than this sin. idk what the sin was doing with his z o.o i didnt see him use it once. couldve been the difference between a win and a lose in the first round. But simply put that sin had a equal if not greater chance to win those fights against that bm. But that bm obviously did his homework

search with "I want your skull" from youtube and youll find it (cant remember the band)

UpbeatGaming i'd say around Q3 of this year. Taiwan launched official release on November 26, and according to the release schedule: China, Japan, Taiwan, Russia(and then EU/NA), its Russia's time to get the game. i'd say on Q1 RU cbt will come out

Well with it taking over 3 years to release over here I'd say that's a reflection on how well they will maintain the game.

ri8002 its not over 3 years(actually its not even 2). game was supposed to be released first half of 2013 on EU/NA, but on Q4 2012 they delayed it. i guess cause Aion=fail and Tera that was boasting revolution and no tab target action combat=fail, and harder than Aion. not even 1 year as p2p. they didn't want B&S=fail(especially after Tera failed), so game was delayed for EU/NA and schedule was changed to release in more stable countries 1st. now if you don't play cause you're bored of waiting while you don't know about their release schedule while various sites say about it(game can't be released on EU/NA when its Japan or Taiwan time to get the game, or on the same time), they don't care that much. Chinese server alone has around 15 million players(12+ were just on launch). would EU+NA have that much population? no, so for them its better and more reliable to release it there than in EU/NA. in EU/NA you don't know when the game will fail. in China you know it won't. i bet $1000 than when the game is out on EU/NA people will start complaining and bitching over the smallest things. i played on Korean OBT and nobody was complaining

TassadarGR Ah I see. My wife and I had been doing some research on this game because I remembered seeing something on it quite awhile ago and we really wanted to check it out. I just looked at the Wiki page to see when it was released and it said South Korean launch was June 30, 2012 which puts it at basically 2.5 years old. And yes I agree the EU/NA audience seem to be full of entitled babies. I noticed that when I was playing PSO2 at launch. Seemed like everyone (for the most part) just got along with each other and had fun. While on the other hand we are trying out Tera and to be honest, it seems like 90% of the people on there act like it's a big dick competition. Kind of putting us off. Oh well, one can wish for an EU/NA release, but we all know it will turn into just another generic F2P community. We might look into getting into a Russian or Korean server. Might have more fun there anyway lol

ri8002 don't count when Korea version is out. but if you count that you have to include translation and localization. game won't be released in EU/NA same day with Korea. it can easily take 9+ months for translation and localization. so basically its not even 2 years, and game was delayed too what pisses me off about West community is that they whine only for Korean mmo that come here. for West mmo everything is OK i play on Russian private server, game has its ups and downs, but overall its very good game. if the game fails in West it definitely won't be the games fault. Chinese server alone has way more than 13 million players. in every country the game has been released so far(Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan) its successful

RIGHT NOWWWW

U found out?

my lightning draw doesn't do that doe

+Curt Fornolles it's a legendary skill, u have to unlock it first

+User123 how to unlock?

+Curt Fornolles it will come with the hongmoon skills

I think you can get it from bloodshade harbor, double check on that though.

WildManTheGamer I was thinking the same thing

+oughchim ayoub wait level 50 with blade master they are far behind right now you need 2 legendary skill to be effectiv in pvp : lightning draw and sword veil don't worry assasin won't be a big trouble after this

+Kryless777 Are u playing good with BM? If yes, could u reccomend me some actuall PvP build (i'm 39 lvl for now)

its not few. each move is a skill. and yes they mostly use 2/3 skills of their classes during the fight because some skills require enemy's state(or consume alot of chi) to activate and they only spend chi on skills that are effective,why?because its not wise to flip and spam skills all over the place(easy to pick up a counter and this game is all about countering). further more its good to prevent your chi from running out as well as saving skills for combos when the chances to strike come. thus its hard to time all the skills cool down + keep an eye on your chi while looking out for enemy's attack so its best to use short-combo. btw have you played the game? cause if not then i dont think you'll comprehend what im saying

naughty bee555 ^

naughty bee555 Okay I understand what you said. I'm a little new in BnS

+Beleth lol ive being checking out a lot of BnS videos and i see a comment of you in every single one hahaa

Reynaldo Lazaro Can't help it man, I'm obsessed with this game c: Can't wait for the official BnS to come out!

arent you playing in russian server?

Reynaldo Lazaro Yeah I am but it's an really old server and missing many things from official also ping isn't that great. I mean I have no lags but it doesn't run smoothly and that's the main thing for BnS.

Beleth oh yeah same for me xD, i cant wait for western release xD

maybe nxt month b4 new year

フジタダイスケ Nah. Probably in a year.

Probably never

Fresh Tofuman No it is! Even check the main NCSOFT website and go on Blade and Soul it says they're working on translation and combat for us.

yeah since 5 years ago...

nah the class as a whole is extreamly difficult with a high skill cap

+Mohammed Rached do you know if in the video they are lvl 45 or 50 ?

+oughchim ayoub 50.

personally I think its extremely easy to use. I prefer assassin/kung fu master and force master.

+TheWassag are u kidding me BM is the Facking Weakest Char right now not a single BM reach top 20 in arena ranking all are like top 30+ and Sum Des or KFM are reigning the arena right now

If you grew up watching soccer or anysports and get excited over it, it's the same in Korea. Most people grew up with it.

+goku1259 He stopped playing because he got drafted into military service, actually. Look it up.

i mean the game lets you buy gold for rl money sooo

***** Yea, it was one of the big reason i quit.

+Marvin Meyer not that i know. usually NCSoft games are pretty fair.

PvP is completely and utterly balanced. There is not even the slightest bit of advantage you can get with money.

+Tigas165 well that was quick lol

+onur sancak Assassin is the one whos vanish and teleport back all the time. Did u really use ur mind and eyes when watching this or not?? and of course blade master is the one who have the sword in their hand because they are blade master

+Johnny Nguyen off course i can't see cause yesterday i dowloand him this blade and soul so i just watch with 240 p this video so i don't understand wtf is this going on

HAHAHAHA that joke was funny!!

Roberto Bahena sep8 2015

+ILLmazing7 Actually it's Trivium - Skulls... We Are 138, a cover of the misfits but still. :)

ah I knew it sounded too good quality to be the original lol

hard to play

N, they're low tier.

noobs? that was an amazing fight!

KZfaq commenters.. the proest gamers of all times... only in youtube comment sections.. lol

BM was even more OP before they removed most of summon sword skills. what pisses me off is that they don't nerf these 2 classes(BM and Assassin). KFM was OP till cbt 2, and on cbt 3 he was nerfed to the ground. but these 2 classes and LBM still not nerfed

He's reading the opponent so that way the next round gets easier, awesome!

So much big talk, must be one of the stinky ones, huh?

Yh Kim this assassin is really so bad and you can see it in this video.blademaster for noobs and assassin can beat the blademaster.this lonelyday doesnt start a combo? he have more chance to start combo but just backflip and doing tricky flips.its not good assassin play.

Eyup Yucel Show me that you are better.

Eyup Yucel Because the blade master keep the tab skill unused, there is no chance for the assassin to start a combo.

+darcslayer1 fuera de hay lambon haha

Bayram köse they are just good. lbm's are veryyy op, so are sins vs bm's.

ok lol

+Paul Monroe it does look intimidating at first glance but its a great mmo. this game is balanced, despite what u think. everything in the arena is skill and knowledge. this Blademaster is a great example of that. why? Cause the assassin is the hardest match up for the Blademaster. its worth giving the game a try ^^
