Bless Update 2

Well, considering Tera - they failed badly, except for the awesome fight mechnics and nice graphics. The game I need is Tera's graphics and fight mechanics with Lineage2's end-game and character progression...

This! My exact thoughts !

Bless will have better visuals than Tera, but I doubt that combat system will be better. Most classes are tab-targeting. Yet.

Yep, unfortunately
Black Desert will be an option - action combat and also nice graphics, but I think not THAT good, as in Bless.
For now I am monitoring the progress in both games and will decide for one of them upon release.

Black Desert doesn't have level cap and that's a massive con for me.

Well, they sad, that once a certain level is achieved, leveling will be extremely hard, which is quite ok for me - both because your actions will have some, even slight, effect on your character progression, and because - counterpart - characters which grind 24/7 won't be significantly stronger, based only on level.

The thing I like about Black-Desert is
A. They're already far in development. Most likely to come out before Bless even hits NA.
B. Their combat system is truly unique.
C. They bring a fresh new spin on Siege PvP.

Yes
Yes
and Yes!

Gonna get BD and Bless. Ignoring B&S. Lost interest. u -u

Looking at the current state (action-combat and end-game options), most probably I am going for BD only.

Room for improvement. After all, it's not even in Open Beta in KR, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, still not open.
They received a lot of feedback in this regards, so they *might* decide to change... but so far I see no indications for this.
I guess we will have to wait and see...

Yep. And there are changes made to games before going to NA, so we may have the game we want.

Let's hope so!
Well, this would make the choice between BD and Bless even harder

Btw. BD already have NA publisher announced

I heard about that. Pretty excited for it to be translated, edited, then put into its Betas.

The game you want. Personally I am interested in Bless precisely because it has tab-targeting. If they switch to action combat I'm going to be disappointed. Not enough to not play it, but with action combat it won't be what I originally expected it to be.

Oh I see. o -o
I like any type of fighting, whether it be tab or real-action. xP

I like any style too. I started with tab-targeting (because let's be honest, that's all there was ten years ago) and I also played action combat RPGs and liked them a lot, to the point where I have to adjust some games to be more action-combat-feely (like Wildstar and GW2 that have mods/addons to lock the camera to the right mouse button so you don't have to keep it pressed) or they don't feel "right" to me.

But I'm also a nostalgic of the older tab-targeting style of combat and I believe both combat types can coexist in modern games, that's why I was excited when I saw Bless would use tab-targeting.

P.S. Lol well that was maybe a bit harsh-sounding, anyway I wanted to play a tab-targeting game because it's been a while I've played a *good* TT game, and I want to play Bless, therefore I wish they make Bless a TT game; but if they listen to the (apparent) majority and make the combat action-based, well then... It won't be too bad either I guess.

Yep, different players = different game expectations/preferences

I also started with tab-target, and I must say I liked the game a lot (Lineage 2, to be more specific), but after playing Tera, I think I am done with tab-target. Of course, this is a personal prefernce

Action combat was "the future" but now we are going back to the roots. They shouldn't change their game completly because some players want it. Go play hack'n slash games if you want.

Apparently Bless Dev team took heed to player feedback and announced a multitude of changes in combat system.

Someone should accurately translate this.
