    Hi all, as promised, here's our guild Discord server discord.gg/Hy5qG9b

    I'd like all of you to join, because it's much easier to stay in touch but remember that until the game is not out - Discord is not a must.

    One of the officers will soon post there on Discord, our google spread sheets with a lot of useful information which we gathered after hundreds of hours of testing.
    This will most likely help you get a sneak peak into what's gonna be good/fun/efficient, and what isn't.

    See you on Discord guys, and happy new year to the ones that will take longer to join.

    • Sywo -

      NOOOOO all my hours of casting healing grace in Urtus will be exposed!!!

  • Saraswati -

    Have you seen the official Steam Trailer already?
    facebook.com/BlessSource/videos/1554198034617385/
    No mystic? :(

    • arcdevil123 -

      Mystic will be available. It's on the official EN website. Nice trailer tho, brings back some 2014 memories :)

  • Arthur (Aehr) -

    Hi everyone,
    I am aware this is off-topic, but i wish you a good Christmas (even if you do not celebrate it have a good week).
    Be well.

    • Saraswati -

      Christmas is never off topic :p have fun, eat candy, get fat

    • Sywo -

      Merry Christmas everyone.

    • IvanPD -

      Merry Christmas everybody! Be safe, Be happy and don't let anybody make you afraid of anything ...

  • arcdevil123 -

    Hi everyone, seeing that this website has changed in a horrible way from the guild section's pov, I'll send a message to all of you with Blackhand's Discord server, this week.

    Wanted to wait till the middle of January, so we could gather more, and we'd be basically 1 month away from release, but after these changes here, guilds have very little to no visibility so that means very few to no new members.

    In conclusion, let's move to Discord sooner than planned because there's no real point of keeping in touch here.

    Right now I am away from town with limited access to internet, but I will return next week and share with you all the info - can't wait for you guys to also see our roster, since there's many members that you guys haven't met because they have not been interested in this joining here on this fanpage

    And I'm new to discord since we've only used TeamSpeak.
    Lots of new stuff for everyone next week :)

    Have fun guys

  • Saraswati -

    Any1 playing on JP? just started playing a mage (no mystic available) on hieron side on the long server name.
    English patch is truly great and easy!

    • Sywo -

      Didnt even notice this comment because they changed this website in such a bad way that the guild section is horribly secluded...

      I have a character there but only for putting down changes on our spreadsheets. What class r u leveling?

    • Saraswati -

      mage named Paciphae

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      I am curious, how does the mage play? Pardon my ignorance, but i cannot seem to find videos on players placing any real effort into the rotations and flow of the combat rebuild of mage. Sadly, all i find are people half-assing (excuse the term if people find it offencive) it because its "not their preference".
      I understand i will need to see it myself when the global comes out, but i would like to know if it flows well.
      Please and thank you.

    • Saraswati -

      i will check and see, im still level 7 and most quest are talking to npc :) no real combat yet

    • Saraswati -

      11 level now, and still no real combat. I am one shotting mobs. Game stuttering in big cities on 4/5 graphics on a raden 7870. I think it needs more optimization.

  • Kahn -

    Heyho,

    me and my wife played TERA together in the past and we joined a guild on hieron side and played there when the RU-Servers (I played guardian and paladin to max lvl and my wife a mage to max lvl) were up. We played there till they closed. We have a joung kid (4years old) and we both are working. So we have to organize our time.
    But we love Bless and wanna play again, when there is early access on steam.

    Blackhand guild sounds very good for us. I read a lots of comments here and that there are also some married ppl around.
    We both are from germany and wanna keep in touch with this thread.

    I'll keep on watching this guild here and if you guys think, that we are interesting for you, I will be rolling a guardian and my wife a mage.

    Greetings from Kahn

    • Saraswati -

      glad to see some 'older' kids around like me. i'm 38 ;) hope EU version launches soon and see you guys in game

    • Kahn -

      Yeah. I am 37.

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Welcome,
      Hope to see you around and have a few chats.
      be well

    • Sywo -

      Soon we'll need to recruit singles. Groups in BLESS r 5 man and arena is 3 man. And we all know u cant split a gamer couple :D

    • arcdevil123 -

      Finally I'm the youngest in the guild :blessthumb:

  • Shoshi -

    Hello,
    Been browsing forum for a while now looking for a guild that fits my expectations (or shall i say ours since we are a couple).
    We met in a game called Rappelz over 13 years ago and since we got married and have 2 kids now. Still playing games together (Aion). Looking for a mature guild with strong and organized leadership that have set goals but can be flexible regarding its members free time and playstyle :)
    We are the kind of regular players but with limited time, been playing for so long together now that we make a good team so we progress well, we are loyal nerdy couple if you are interested to have 2 newbs in your ranks we will be honored to fight by your side :)

    Best regards Shoshi & Elthan

    • Sywo -

      Sup Shoshi & Elthan,
      I also met my wife in AION long time ago, and we're gonna have a kid in February, so kudos for gamer parents!
      I think Icy's gonna approve this. We could share background baby sounds on discord while on our way to that TotWK world first.

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi guys, glad to see another couple playing games, and yeah, let's do this!

      Feel free to click the "Apply" button that's here on top of the page, on our guild logo - then I can easily keep track of you myself, with any info or guild updates via private messages.

      Or, if you don't wanna do that (not required in any way), you can just keep an eye on our comment thread here or just check our "overview" section.
      I'll post our discord info at the end of this month, or beginning of January, and then you guys can join us there so we can keep in touch before release.

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Hi there,
      Hope you have a nice stay. Having any questions, you may fire away.
      Be well.

    • Shoshi -

      Thank you for the welcomes!

    • Saraswati -

      Welcome guys!
      Hope to convince my wife to start Bless too! We played WOW together from 2009 until 2017.

  • IvanPD -

    Good evening all ...
    Updated (today) version of the JP English Patch:
    discordapp.com/channels/223023…975936/373196841866625044

    These guys have done a superb job!

    Edit: My bad actually. I could've made a direct link to the original post:
    cdn.discordapp.com/attachments…tch-v.29-PureLuck-JPN.rar

    All the gratitude goes to bless-source.com/forum/index.php/User/12314-Weakdayz/ :
    "New Japanese english patch! This version, once you copy it you are done!
    No need to copy it everytime you launch the game!
    The BlessPatcher.exe will be updated to ONLY download the latest version of the English patch , will post the update soon!
    Place both folders into:
    GameOn\Bless\BLGame instead of where you normally place the english patch at Gameon\Bless\BLGame\Localization"

  • arcdevil123 -

    Hi all, a TLDR from yesterday's JP Update Stream:

    - Ranger class has been re-built
    - Class+race choice screen has been redone
    - Character selection screen redone
    - Last boss in Urtus Mine is available
    - Monster arena dungeon is available
    - Mini bosses in daily PvP quest zone are available
    - Main towns are dressed up for Christmas hollidays
    - All changes to go live on the 6th of December

    So i guess Mystic left to go. I also guess EU launch will be with the 1.0 version where 45 is the cap ... kinda sad but good at the same time.

    Seeing that they've completed all the lvl45 content except Mystic (which isnt even a level "45 thing" to begin with), March EU release incoming? :O

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Thank you for the information, Arcdevil. I am curious about what they will release on the 20th though since they mentioned something about Mascu (could be wrong, but there were pictures damnit!).

    • Sywo -

      Since when do u watch streams :D

    • SRTero -

      Seems this is all good news, i hope for EU/NA they are optimising the game too.

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      optimising... that word makes me very happy and hyped. Damn you SRT! You are making my hype illness worse...

    • Noemy -

      I expect them to release mystic during/at the end of December. They'll better!!! And then I expect a release date announcement in December also >.> I am not asking for much! :D

  • Saraswati -

    good morning!
    i was watching a Youtube stream from MMOByte yesterday with this girl streamer playing Bless on the japanese server and she was saying that Bliss was due release early 2018, with rumor has it for February 2018. Any gravity to what she is saying?

    • arcdevil123 -

      I recommend you watch Sywo's most recent video on Youtube. I think he talked about release dates and other things, like 2 weeks ago or something.

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Please note that when they first announced project rebuild, i believe they said "early 2018", this can range from January to even June in some cases. I think February would be great, but in my honest opinion i believe this to be a speculation from the assumptions of the future player base.
      I know that the June seems extreme, but things can go south (they did mention possible reprogramming if i recall). The first quarter seems viable, but would not supprise me if it pops up in the second quarter.
      Think of it this way though; atleast it looks like they are building the game to make it more fun and admitted their errors (very rare for many gaming companies) and so far the results i can see from an outsider's perspective without touching the game... it is quite good and their progress isnt bad seeing that there is a great deal of work added recently.
      If you dont like my opinion, i'll ready my shield then, but be free to tell me what you think.
      be well.

    • Noemy -

      They did say early 2018. Also as a reply to the Q&A they have even used the wording "Quarter I". I think, when we'll hear some news during December or when they'd release mystic in the rebuild servers, then February 2018 can be realistic. If not, then the release might be in March or even April, but not later. I do feel they are under pressure to release it ASAP since the hype train wont last forever and they have been postponing it already long enough and need to start making some sort of profit.

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Thank you for the information, Neomy.
      It seems i stand corrected in some departments then.

    • SRTero -

      It would make sense for them to release in the First Quarter because the hype for the game has been dwindling for awhile now and they need to rescue the IP before it gets too late. I watched the MMObyte stream to, her and her bf are actually quite fun to watch and informative :D

  • IvanPD -

    Do you guys know when the Japan OBT will be over ... ?!

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Hi IPD,
      Do excuse me since i might be speaking total horse manure; Usually OBTs tend to stay around for a year or so (unless if it behaves like a CBT). My personal guess (you may say i am wrong here) is that it may go down a bit before the global release (on the other hand it can still remain during this time).
      I am sure it will stay a while for you to enjoy it before the global release. I apologise that this is rather vague, but i hope it helps. Also, dont worry too much about it, it will be upon us eventually (excluding a number of negative factors they may cause it to discontinue which seem improbable at current).
      Then again, please share your view on this perspective.
      Be well,
      Arthur

    • Sywo -

      I think it's gonna last until the middle/end of January.
      Now that ranger is being released in 2 days, they will want JP players to have fun with that, and i assume mystic will take another month at least.

      The question that i have is will they release mystic in the OBT so ppl can see it before the JP release, or will they keep it for the actual release as a surprise.

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      One way to see, wait and see. Sadly i need more hot chocolate...
      Other than that, i cant disagree much, this seems to be the case from what i can see. Who knows, they may even try and finish the warlock before global release (i know, very low chance). Agreeing with Sywo, chances are they wont close JP OBT any time soon if all goes as planned.

    • arcdevil123 -

      Thinking of trying out the JP version IPD?

    • IvanPD -

      Good evening all ...
      Arthur, In all honesty, I'm playing it (for around 10 days now ARCDEVIL123 ;) ) only because I wanted to remind myself the game (played it on the RU servers) and "get prepared" for the EU release. ;)
      Wanted to know how much (approximately) time we have before, since I'm one of the very hyped people for the STEAM release and I highly appreciate your answers guys! Thank you !
      Also, I'm really interested what you guys think, if you're playing at the KR or JP versions atm ...

      ... And once last thing. Currently using "SoftEther VPN Client".
      Advise me please, which is the best (Line Speed, Ping) "settings", when choosing a Japanese VPN server.

  • Arthur (Aehr) -

    As a side note (shoot me down if you so wish); Since i cannot see a Discord server, i would be willing to assist in establishing one or even making room in mine for the time being for easier VOIP if needed. I understand that you know me from nowhere, but if i can assist in some form or fashion in this department I am here.
    Thank you,
    Arthur

    • arcdevil123 -

      Yep, we have a discord, it's set up and ready to go. My plan was to wait with that until we get closer to release.
      Personally I didn't see a point of posting it because i didn't expect anyone would be interested in joining a discord with 5 people that are in standby for the release.

      Later on i think you should be our discord boss because you seem eager about it and because none of the officers care about these things :)

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Excuse my late reply. It is an interesting thought. To be honest, it wasnt exactly what i was thinking, but i can give it a try. Filled with shock and hoping i dont screw up.
      Your confidence is welcoming, thank you.

  • Arthur (Aehr) -

    Hi everyone,
    I am looking forward in seeing you all around. It would be fun having to speak and play with you guys.
    Be well,
    Arthur

    • Saraswati -

      hello and welcome! Coming from England?

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      I apologise for my late reply. I have sent an application to join the Guild, but seeing that you have asked; I am from South Africa, so the time frame is not to different.
      P.S. Be free to ask more of me when you so please, i will attempt to be more timeous.

    • Sywo -

      Sup A

    • Arthur (Aehr) -

      Hi there, have recently gone through some of your videos to get up to speed with Bless. I most likely have questions for you, but only after the aspects i wish to ask questions on are going to be in OBT at the very least.
      Hope to see you around.

    • Sywo -

      Anytime man

  • Haivan -

    Hey,

    He totally take me up to the Hype Train.
    Im waiting for the EU release, while waiting for the release id like to get in touch with this Guild here.
    In my time at Aion i played a Ranger, so mostly i want to try the Class here in Bless too.

    Id like to aplly to this guild.

    Greetings.

    • Saraswati -

      hop on the bless hype train!

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi Haivan, you can click the button "Apply" on our guild logo, if you want to join and keep in touch until the game comes out (not so important to "join the guild" here on these forums but just saying).
      If not, we'll see each-other in game.
      Like Saras said, welcome to the hype train!

    • Haivan -

      Hi arcdevil,
      thanks for your reply.
      yeah i saw that apply button after i wrote this comment.
      Im looking forward to play with you.
      (i hope there will not be a problem with the Ping. Since i live in germany and want to play on the Server your guild is choosing.)

      comes time comes wisdom.

      Greetings.

    • Sywo -

      Sup H

    • Haivan -

      Sup Sywo ^^ Are there more videos on your YT Channel coming until the Release ?

      Greetings.

  • Snakebit -

    Hi,

    Papa Snake here. If you played Tera, World of Warcraft, Wildstar, SCCT etc you might know me.

    Cheers!

  • arcdevil123 -

    Hi everyone, a quick announcement.

    One of our members, nickname "Hitokiri", is supporting this fanpage, so he has a way to make your bless-source profiles look fancier.
    If any of you want that, write a private message to him, and he can add your nickname to his P.I.M.P group :D

    TC guys and girls

  • Hitokiri -

    Hi BlackHand im very new to this game but not mmoprgs in general iv played pretty much every one out there to some degree but i only found out about Bless a day or two ago. Im a huge fan of the open world pvp i love to pvp in general but i do also love pve side of games taking on massive boss's in raids with guild members and wining theirs no better feeling, anyway i would like to apply to join your guild and makes some cool memory's on Bless with you guys!! Bring on 2018!!! Hype train is real :D

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi, good to see new people interested in BLESS.
      There's gonna be a lot of PvP and PvE so you have a lot to look forward to!

    • Hitokiri -

      ill be honest im so looking forward to random open world fights while trying to level up the spontaneous fights are always the best :D

    • arcdevil123 -

      :D Gonna be a lot of salty tears on the forums

    • Hitokiri -

      hahahaah you know this its going to be beyond epic :D :D :D

    • SRTero -

      I may wake up for pvp, but salty tears are my daily protein to keep fit.

  • Roberth93 -

    Hey Blackhand!
    I can't wait for this thing to start so I have a game to grind!
    About joining the guild...
    I have been playing mmos since I had first got a computer. I started up playing Mu Online. I've played for alot ALOT of years and it was an amazing experience.
    Then, some of my friends from school told me about Aion and how good it is and that I should try it out; What do you know, 4-5 years have gone by and I didn't stop playing it (well, only the last period with the Gameforge shennanigans i jumped in and out of it)...I played for a bit Tera too, I've tried Blade and Soul, and lots of other mmo's but none of them gave me the same thrill that Aion used to give me.
    Now I'm a man without a game, and I was hoping i could join your guild in hopes that the amazing comunity that's going to be built in it, will augment the experience.
    Anyway, I'm rambling..I wanna join, I'm SUPER excited about the game.
    Cheers!

    • arcdevil123 -

      No mmorpg gave us the thrill that AION did in 2009.
      Until the moment we grouped up for a lowbie 30lvl dungeon in BLESS. It didn't even matter that the game needed more work, it was that feeling which i can't really describe.... like a raw, uncut, unprepared feeling which we had in early 2010 during FT runs. It had a purpose and it was rewarding - it made you yell when you finally killed a boss and got that loot.

      I'm starting to ramble also.
      I guess we have a few things in common.

  • SRTero -

    Hello there, i have been waiting for bless for 4 years since when i first found out about it. Never wanted to play on KR JPN or RUS, but now its finally coming to NA/EU and im super excited. I would like to join your guild if possible, i am a pvper by blood always in the top bracket of pvp and if its got a leaderboard im on it. I usually play sin/rogue classes or off tank classes for pvp but this game has me interested in archer for pvp (have not played archer in an MMO for about 7 years now haha). I do love my pvp but im an apt raider to and have no issues with pve based stuff, i am a pvx player really and pvp is my time killer.

    Regards,
    Sleepy

    • Sanjuro -

      SRTero i played Ranger at the Russian and he was one of the worst classes in PVP . They said they will fix him thatswhy they didnt gave the class at the rebuild atm .

    • SRTero -

      If it is not balanced enough i will just go to berserker or assassin if need be back to my roots. Everyone is saying berserker is very fun :D Before and after rebuild was out as well.

    • Sanjuro -

      I play now a bers and soloed the first 2 dungeons . Assasin is op for pvp teleports at the back of opponent one hit ready . But dies also very easy . I enjoyed the class and i wanted to try the assasin without ping to see hot it feels

    • SRTero -

      Assassin is Dot based at the moment isn't it? However it has no aoe so not to fun for pvx style gameplay.

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi SR, welcome to the hype train.
      I'm glad to invite you to Blackhand, here on the fan forums, so we can keep in touch until the game comes out. (you'll have to click the "+Apply" button on our logo, and then I can accept the application).
      I'm also glad you find archer interesting. I personally played archer extensively before the rebuild, and it's a very good class to have (and to play) in larger scale PvP. Furthermore, archer is very good to have and feels great to play, in raids.

      Each class has been changed slightly during this "rebuild" that they're doing, most changes were buffs, not nerfs, so I'm expecting ranger to also be buffed, which will make it even "better" in the areas areas where it feels slightly off.

      KiT

  • Sanjuro -

    I played Assasin , Ranger at the very beginning and i was dissapointed in pvp . I played Palladin until 43 lvl in the rebuild server but iwas never been healer in my mmo life and now i m trying berskeker and have to say i didnt expected that he has very fun to play . I soloed dungeons (the 2 first) . I m waiting for the warlock class . I guess it will be my main if they release him from the beginning . If not i guess i ll play the Berseker

    • arcdevil123 -

      Personally I'm glad you enjoy zerk. I rate the class highly.
      Our of curiosity, why are you waiting for the warlock, anything specific that you're expecting?

    • Noemy -

      I have a feeling that warlock will be released in later updates and not at launch. So, I guess I'm welcoming your zerk into the ranks ;)

  • Zilver -

    Hi there Blackhand!
    Regards from Sweden! Been following Sywo´s videos and streams for quite some time now and his neverending source of knowledge :) He's actually gotten me super hyped for this game, and its been a rollercoaster for those of us hyped, but finally it looks like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel :)
    Im an oldschool hardcore mmorpg player that lately has become a bit more casual but have thousand's of hours down in Asherons Call, EQ2 and basicly most AA titles since then. Bless though is the first game in a looong time im really looking forward to, so much that i didnt want to play the Asian versions to spoil the fun for the western release :) Hopefully and maybe i can find a new home with you guys? And Sywo, keep up the good work, your awesome :)

    Regard Zilver

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi mate, hi Sweden.
      Indeed, finally it's official, at one point I thought they'll not even release it anywhere else besides Asia.
      About joining the guild, I approve. You can either apply here through this website by clicking the button on our logo above, or just wait till the game releases and we'll do it then.

      No difference really, but if I have you here as a member, i'll include you in any important messages I need to send to members (which server, etc).

      KiT

    • Zilver -

      Heya!
      Awesome, i just put in an application here on the website then :)
      And im thinking of rolling a Ranger as my first main character, or possibly Mage :) And a question, how many ppl for the endgame raidcontent is there atm?

      Cheers
      Zilver

    • Sywo -

      Sup Zilver, and thanks/

    • Noemy -

      Hey Zilver! To answer your question of how many people are there now for the endame raid content - I'd say half of the raid is filled with sure-sure people, the other half is yet to be decided and taken based on their skill/dedication level in the live game :) Cannot form the full raid at this moment without seeing how well people will perform or how active they will be in the actual game. But hey, that just makes it more fun and gives it an competitive edge when the game hits!
      Ready? Set... GO! :)

    • Zilver -

      Ohh, sorry, you probably misunderstood me :) Bad english from me i guess :) I meant is it 10 ppl raids, 12, 15 or 20+?

      Cheers

  • SEIICHI -

    Hey there saw your video on youtube and i fell in love :) I am interested in joining and probably going to play as a berserker or a assassin

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi.
      Glad you liked it. You can keep track of us here as we get closer to release, without being a "member", OR you can use that button to "join" the guild and then the officers can also keep you in the loop.
      PS - we're very keen on zerks 8|

    • Noemy -

      Zerk! Zerk! Zerk! Zerk!

  • Ecco -

    Hey , interested in joining as soon as the game launches. Probably playing mystic,paladin or mage

    • arcdevil123 -

      Hi! Let's keep in touch.
      Also, your class preferences are nice. :thumbup:

    • Ecco -

      Yeah ! if any of you guys are playing on JPN feel free to add me

    • Sywo -

      Some of us are testing the changes on KR rebuild, but we didn't want to start again in JP.
      Personally I've leveled up 9 times to 50 so I'm keeping my 10th for release :D
      How's JP going though, are there many players around?

    • Saraswati -

    hello boys and girls. Wishing to start this game as soon at it launches on EU. I am thinking of trying an assassin. Is this game melee unforgiving? :) what is a good class for good raid/group coop? I may roll something that is helpful for the guild. See you soon!

    • Saraswati -

      ok i think i am roling a mystic, the spells are fun!

      Hey man, I believe that at launch and a few months after it, playing a melee class (especially a squishy one like a sin), is going to be more difficult than being at range or wearing heavy.
      Not necessarily because of your lack of practice/skill, but also due to the game being new, healers are new, the dungeons seem harder because nobody has good gear, the tank is new, etc.

      For 5 man content, besides the above, a sin has another downside - the fact that they don't bring any AOE besides a couple of mediocre skills. And the dungeons we'll get at release are trash-intensive, so having viable AOE is an asset.
      In terms of raiding, for example, we only have 1 assassin, and there's no reason for more. :)

      In my opinion - assassins could be a good option for endgame PvE. 6 months down the road after release.

      Love.

      PS - sins are Gods in 1v1/3v3

    • Saraswati -

      thanks for the reply boss. Will check other classes too but for now i am going with Mystic. Was pleasantly surprise you don't need to target who you 're healing. Most are aoe spells and 1 cone ability! Nice

      Hey Saraswati! I defenitely recommend you to play a class that seems most appealing to you and fits your playstyle. Playing a class that is "needed" for the raid, may end up you "needing" to pick something that you might not be so comfortable or even good at with. Your own joy comes first and a player who enjoys his class is always welcome to the raid, no matter what he chose to play :)

      As of mystics and targeting - yes, you do need to target stronger heals. The overtimes and aoe heals are not that effective and just need to be kept up, but tank (or whoever has the aggro), needs to be targeted to get those extra heals to actually survive. And with some bosses having rather changing heart to who to target and mechanics that at times are harder to avoid by other group members, this will actually be rather challenging for a mystic :)

      Cheers!
