    There isn't such thing as a Gunner class as far as I know. I'm going to play Lock because I like pet classes and can't stand the animations and theme for Summoner.

    Agree on the Summoner. Took one to lvl 45 and just wanted to stew the cat by the time I got there.

    Yes, how impressive... cutting content out at launch so you have fresh monthly content for your game...

    They have years of content they're basically just localizing and shoving out to people. Whether it helps or not, it can't be too big of a strain on them to push it out this fast.

    WTH  O.o

    Curious to know if Warlock is going to include some of the balances that came later. They were pretty OP out of the gate when first released.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    Actually it's a great idea to release Warlock which everyone has been clamering for. It might keep them busy in Blade and Soul. In fact, BDO is probably the main reason they're releasing Warlock so quickly.

    Btw, it's also worth noting that everyone is getting an additional free character slot for Warlock. They really want people playing Warlock.

    As for me, I'm a little turned off by the latest BDO news. I'm waiting to see how Daum responds before plunging into that game. Blade and Soul has become totally surprisingly fun and utterly addictive for me, so I'm not as anxious as I was to drop it for BDO. Not to mention it's totally free, and with the new gold exchange system, you can unlock pretty much everything for free with gold. I have premium too for free- you just have to find someone that you trust to gift it to you and give them gold for it. Premium doesn't do much but it's nice to have.

    The game is set up to function in a certain way based off the games development. If you just jump to a certain part, you nullify content that is suppose to be in place. How they are doing it they are working it from patch to patch to catch up, meaning they are working from the order it came out for the official game. With the Warlock class, I believe they are purposely trying to rework things to fit it in to allow NA/EU a chance to have more classes available to aid for the competitive element, something that is a lot trickier then you would think to get working. 

    So long as they are releasing it all steadily and not trying to milk players through the cash shop, I have no problem with the format they have set up. It keeps an active feeling of the game and lets players experience elements of the game in brief as they work to catch up to where the official servers are.
