That would be cool.

Too bad I'll be busy playing RPG MO instead. ^_^

Well i am on Twitch a lot and they NEVER made any big deal about any game unless it is a paid for sponsored event.

I do not see any deal with Blade N soul as is,a few already stream the game for some time now and VERY few seem to care.

I watched the streams and the game imo does almost everything i don't want in my rpg.

combat=spammy
Boss=similar to FFXIV staged in a boring small area that is also hued with ONE color,everything either looks gray or blue,really bad lighting.It's basically like watching black n white tv.
stereotypes of Korean games?Yep it's all there to even the hunched over running animations to outfits that look out of place.

Bottom line is why play BnS when you can play a MUCH better version in FFXIV with way better graphics.

Daikuru

Maybe even release date? Beta is in fall, so maybe they announce both?

are you really sure you watched bns streams? i mean:
1. bns is action combat, ff14 is tab target dice roll combat (only comparison to bns is tera)
2. bns runs the unreal 3 engine, everything is very colorful an bright, its rather ff14 with the washed out colors
3. anims on bns are gorgeous and one of the most fluid in any game, the "hunched" running is wuxia inspired, its like martial artists run
4. bns combat is anything but spammy, if you just spam you lose, you have to react to what your opponent is doing, block, doge etc.
its rather ff14 and other tab target dice roll mmorpgs where you just faceroll your keyboard.

so yeah, i dont think youve play or watched any bns.

Hopefully they have the Microsoft 10 issue resolved fast (ie before CBT) or work around it before launching CBT. They already fixed it for Japan, so I know it will eventually get done. I just don't want to have to roll back to windows 7 or 8 or use an old PC to play the CBT if it isn't fixed before CBT launch.
