Oh, so it's like TERA/SWTOR where if you paid any money at all you get preferred status at queues?

Mine. Got an e-mail monday morning (I'm in Japan, so it was night for me), woke up and it was done.

On the other hand, my friends haven't gotten theirs done so.

Interesting. I got that e-mail on Monday as well, so I assumed it was imminent... but nothing so far. It's kind of a pain too because we're past F2P release now and the character I made on OMC ALSO has a name I want to keep. If they do the transfer at a bad time I could lose it while offline :(

Will see how it goes I suppose...

I realize this is pretty normal for every MMO on launch day but a small comedic part of me is imagining the guys in charge setting up the servers and saying to each other 'Guys, guys, let's just be honest with ourselves. No one is going to play our game.' and setting the server pop cap at about 10.

Premium Levels are permanent, and spending anything will put you at Level 1 (which unlocks Priority Queue).

No no no no, that means that if your premium lapses, you will retain that premium rank when you reactivate it. Your rank determines the bonuses that you get when you have an active premium subscription.

I just got the "all queues full" on Old Man Cho for the first time. Mashed the play button 2-3 more times and I got through an instant queue of 10, so try that in the future maybe.

Edit: Didn't realize you lost premium benefits while not subbed. Bummer :(

If I were to buy an additional slot, would that give me permanent status to the queues or do I need to get a premium membership?

I won't actually spend money until I get in and see if it's worthwhile, but I'm curious what my options are if I actually do play.

I have made it to level 45 and based on some of the suggested specs I've found for both pve and pvp, I have learned absolutely nothing about how you're supposed to play a force master. I'm so confused.

Unfortunately I was wrong, you do need to have an active premium membership to receive the benefits (including priority queue). If you're wanting to check it out before the queues probably die down in a few weeks, I'd still recommend dropping $5 on 7 day premium, but I can understand if you're not wanting to put any money in on a game you're not sure if you want to play.

I've been watching some streams and it's nice to see that other people are having the same experience I am in PvP as a Blade Master ie you get instantly gibbed by Destroyers/Assassins/Summoners and there doesn't seem to be anything you can do, at least when you're new.

MB4 and beyond didn't want to map for me but I just rebound those buttons to a keyboard key and they worked. Not sure if your mouse can't rebind buttons ... I'm guessing Autohotkey is banned via Hackshield?

Hajoon server wasn't a bad wait, was only 800 people in queue last time I crashed even :ironicat:

Part of this is because we're in a mishmash patch of level 45 stats with level 50 skills to some degree. It's like WoW's pre-expansion patches.

I dunno man, I'm not at max level or anything. Lvl 30 vs 30 and it's not close a lot of matches, and then I play against another Blade Master or Kung Fu Master and I can do fine.

Edit: Against certain classes it feels like I'm not even playing the same game, specifically Summoners and Destroyers.

Amante

The classes that do the most burst are going to be stronger at earlier levels, due to lower HP pools and fewer defensive tools being available. There are also specific skills (certain CC breaks, etc.) that some classes NEED to do well, so yeah... if you're PvPing below 45-50, things are gonna be all over the place. PvP will be a little weird in general until we get access to level 50, but it'll be fine over time.

P.S. You may also just be bad. B&S PvP requires fighting game level knowledge/reflexes at the higher levels. If you come up against someone significantly better than you, defeat is likely.

Unless the matchmaking is completely hosed and ranks me exclusively against better Destroyers/Summoners/Assassins and worse Blade Masters and Kung Fu Masters I think it's more likely that the balance is hosed at the lower levels like you were saying.

I used my Razor software to create a profile for BnS where the mouse buttons simulate key strokes(8,9,0) then bind my skills that way. Seems to work fine, I have to do this for any game that doesn't recognize 'Mouse Button 4' etc...

Kung Fu Master is all counter, parry, combo which is pretty fighty gamey. Blade Master is probably more character action with crazy sword swings everywhere.
