It is almost time!
The next big MMO is almost upon us guys and girls! In about 8 hours from writing this post, you can finally play the new version of Bless online!
You can see a countdown timer until the headstart begins: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?p0=224&iso=20180528T10
Can it live up to the hype?
I really hope it can, since it has failed in 3 regions already. But i am very optimistic since Neowiz (the devs and publisher) have done great work to improve the game and remove all its flaws. They have rebuild the combat and improved the stability of the game itself. It should run better overal.
Rise from the ashes
They MMO genre can really use a new game, since it has been lacking so much in recent years. So even if i am not going to play it that much, i do hope that Bless will be another story of a game that rises from the ashes and be reborn as a good MMO like Final Fantasy 14 has shown that it is indeed possible.
That being said, i will probably not play the headstart of the 28th and the early access release on the 30th yet. I am still gathering content from FFXIV right now and loving the game. Besides there will be 2 classes missing from Bless at this early access release, the assassin and mystic. And since i want to play those classes, i will probably wait until at least one of those are being released.
It has already been confirmed that the assassin will be the first of the two to release. And i think that will be in the early months after the early access release. So it will probably be at least one month before i jump into Bless.
Founder Packs to play the headstart
Since my last post on Bless, there has been some changes to the founder packs, or at least to one of them. The most expensive one with a price of $199,99 has been reduced to a price of $149,99 plus they removed the "priority costumer service" thingy, since that just seemed silly.
To play the headstart of today, you need one of the founder packs priced at $39,99 $69,99 and $149,99. For more details check out my previous post. If you rather start on the 30th you can buy the base game for only $29,99.
Have fun guys!
