The game is a PvP game at heart - so PvE players know what you are getting into.
What makes it a "pvp game at heart"? Gameplay wise looks like a typical pve grinder with some pvp tacked on, with the prize going to the players that pve the hardest.
It sounded like mostly open world PvP. Is it zoned or flagged?
It's open world where you're always flagged for PVP unless you buy an item that unflags you for a limited time. I forget how long it unflags you for but it's minutes not hours.
Yeah and that limited item last a total of 10 minutes. Zero interest in this game and all the hype around it. This game failed in 3 markets. The U.S. market is the games last chance. It feels like eastern game companies before they shutdown a game try to see if they can get money from U.S. gamer's where a game fails everywhere else.
I really don't understand why anyone would want to play this game for PVE unless they're really desperate for an Anime character creator fix. It's a game for open world PVPers.

Thanks for that. Do you know if there is any "meaning" behind the pvp besides just ganking/killing other players? Like are there territories or keeps to take, or some way to advance your faction through pvp?

No I don't. I haven't looked into it all that much since I decided not to play it.

I enjoy good PVP as well as PVE. My favorite MMO ever was DAoC and I did both there. Same with WAR, GW2 and ESO. I just have a preference for segregated PVP and what others find fun in OWPVP, the risk of it happening anywhere at any time I personally find annoying when I want to just zone out and mindlessly kill mobs.
PVP done well takes more alertness and engagement while you play. If I had to be ready for that all the time it'd feel more like a job than a game to me

It will interest some players and in that sense it is doing me a favour. While they are busy ganking and griefing lower levels in Bless they are somewhere else, not in my game.
Looking at the list, what an unholy mess. It doesn't matter how much they have revamped the combat when you are getting repeatedly one shotted while trying to play.
Third time's a charm eh Bless? We'll see. This has got short term cash grab written all over it.
As a mostly PVE player...in MOST MMOs, this actually works for me. This isn't free for all death match PvP I thought bless was, since I saw so many people complaining about it. Instead its like DAOC...that is amazing. I loved DAOC faction vs faction system. Same with WoW as well.
People who go into OWPVP game threads to complain about OWPVP and whine about "gankers" "pk'ers" or use insulting words to describe people who play things competitively really deserve to to have all of their favorite activities ganked.

And here is what seems to be the death penalty

Maybe a bit of durability loss if correct and run to corpse. Though I guess can lose runes too if AOE too much and get attacked by guards.
So pretty much like a WoW PvP server pre-BoA
