    They give you 2 days because that is how long it takes to get through the early launch queues...

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    How are the initial impressions from people who have played? I'm thinking about trying it when I get paid.

    What's surprising, but happy? On global best sellers? It's all Bless Online- all 3 packs.

    With no advance purchase options that sounds just about right.

    Good luck all. Waiting for reviews before I dive in. Will be sad to miss the launch day festivities, but looking forward to your opinion of the bad AND the good.

    Well this is huge disappointment for me...
    In modern era when every mmo have Steam and No-Steam variant Bless says: F*ck you! Here is only Steam.

    I'm not gonna say it's bad... but I prefer some games out of my Steam...
    Darn need to double think if I gonna buy/try this game now...

    Good luck to those playing, your enthusiasm is infectious but I'd only try the game if it was free (retracting my original statement).

    Very first impressions aside from server login issues: Terribly optimized (awful FPS on a very good gaming rig), combat is awkward and clunky and nothing close to action, character customization is good, classes/skills seem overly complicated for no real reason (fake depth), combo system is a facade (press R + R + R after using a skill...).

    Decided to request a refund. I know it's early to pull the trigger but the really poor optimization did it in for me. That won't be corrected in short order.

    I mean bravo Neowiz! They just made this game B2P, lots of ppl hyped, they got money but game itself is just bad, and what's even more surprising, isn't it like so poorly optimized that even on RU server dunno how many years ago I got more FPS? Because it seems so...graphics is quite fine but don't you really see how bad combat is? but whatever, right? just enjoy the game which will be dead soon

    So far, so fine ... For an "early access" game.

    Cash shop seems fine, so that's good (depending on your view). Localization/translation for voice over scenes is fine, but tooltips/notifications are really, really bad. Performance/optimization seems really bad so far, though, and that is my biggest complaint. I understand it is launch day; I'll withhold judgement on this for a few days/week or so. However, not holding my breath on optimization getting much better since this is was a problem in other regions as well.

    The game feels big and "realistic" but has very little in it. It reminds me a lot of Vanguard: SoH in that aspect; great city scapes, villages, and open world zones, but very little in them with sparse placement of vegetation/characters/mobs. The scale and size all feels realistic, though, and is really pretty to look at.

    I'm willing to give Neowiz the benefit of the doubt, as they seem to have held up to their promise of keeping the cash shop non-P2W (IMO). Perhaps they will be able to pull it together in the next 6 months or so; I think that's a fair shake, given its still "early access" but a "complete/launched" game in several other regions. Their ability to put the other three classes in the game, optimize performance, and keep it free of P2W will ultimately determine the game's success for me personally.

    I'll give it a chance, but don't really have expectations. Really just giving it a shot since there isn't much else I'm interested in for MMOs.

    There's a few live streams going on if people want to see for themselves, like cryy on youtube or a couple of twitch people etc. Just saying if people are wanting to see how the game is looking atm.

    Not my character but this is a cool pic. Armor designs in this game seem really good even at low levels.

    Honestly glad I didn't cave in. Watching sodapoppin playing with his $10-15-20k PC and seeing him lag so much I can only imagine how my PC will perform having in mind that mine compared to his is pretty much a toster
