I chose Murabi server and Union, but I'm not committed to anything other than trying this game for at least a few weeks.

OK, I'll admit it. I wasted about a half hour due to idiocy. When I fired it up and tried to play, my camera kept panning up, and I couldn't figure it out. Spent a long time looking at game settings, then tried restarting the computer, looking at mouse options, looking for new device drivers, etc.

Then I noticed an X-Box controller sitting forgotten in a dusty corner, which I plugged in like 2 years ago. Upside down, with one of the sticks wedged up.

So, you can make this game not play like rear end if you edit the .ini files. It completely fixed most of my performance issues.

Below are the settings you should change in the files:

Edit BLEngine.ini

bStaticDecalsEnabled=False

bDynamicDecalsEnabled=False

bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=False

MaxSmoothedFrameRate=120

bShouldLogStatsData=False <------------ add it on line 241

[TextureStreaming]

MinTextureResidentMipCount=7

PoolSize= X ( X is based on your GPU Memory: 512, 1024,2048, 4096 etc)

MemoryMargin=256

ThreadedShaderCompileThreshold=4 (based on the number of your physical cores)

MotionBlur=False

Edit BLSystemSettings.ini

Distortion = False (multiple lines)

DynamicShadows=False (multiple lines)

LightEnvironmentShadows=False (multiple lines)

FogVolumes=False (multiple lines)

StaticDecals=False (multiple lines)

MotionBlur=False

edit:

This the best part. All they talked about for months now is the NEW COMBAT *oops we cut two classes that weren't ready for action combat, then didn't implement it for almost every class anyway.

The "new combat" is almost exactly the same as the Japanese version's combat.

Yeah, combat is bad. Have fun with your combo system that requires you to hit with your first attack. The tank class doesn't get its second attack chain starter in one of its stances for a while, so if you miss with the first one you just sit there uselessly until it comes off cooldown.

That is decidedly worse than the Japanese server's just having a full skillbar, and letting you freely swap between semi-action and tab'ing.

A lot of these complaints sound pretty valid, but at the same time I'm watching some random streamers play and it seems pretty okay. This is a very cursory opinion and I really haven't looked into things to in depth, haven't checked out the japanese action combat, but the combat seems pretty great for tabbed targeting.

The cash shop prices are hilarious. The $70 pack only gives you enough funbucks (2450) for TWO inventory expansions, at 1200 each. The cheapest costumes cost 2600.

Also the currency is character bound.

You know I've looked at the Camelot Unchained website a few times and never seen the "hook" to draw me in.

I'm not saying the product is bad. I'm saying the website doesn't manage to tell the casual visitor "this is why you should spend money here and this is what you're getting" very well.

I have more interest in checking it out once it's playable than this mess though. Didn't buy into the Bless headstart and boy do I feel good about finally learning my lesson from every other time.

I’m pretty sure I saw some posts on Reddit about the devs saying that the per character stuff is a bug.

Edit: Looks like the premium status and currency are account based and tools/skins are character based.

I just got an Assassin weapon. That class doesn't isn't even in the NA version yet.

Time for my first ever Steam refund, if I remembered PoE was starting a new league soon I never would have bothered with this.

May have stuck with it as a side game but the entire game being google translated, and the skill system being double google translated is too awful

Game is hilariously bad.

I've played about 3 hours and nothing makes sense and some of the text is just missing and full of placeholders and is needlessly clunky and the skill system isn't explained at all or just flat out broken.

Avoid the game if you don't like 5 year old free to play style games however I'm currently enjoying playing it because of how stupid it is and some of the spells look awesome.

I watched a few of the Emissaries or whatever live stream the game yesterday. They seemed to be hyping it up as, essentially, 'everything you use to love and then grew to hate about mmos is really well refined in this game.'

I've been around for mmo launches in the past, server issues are expected. I think the game looks nice, despite definitely not having the newest graphics out there. But aside from maybe having refined versions of mechanics mmos have been using for a long time now I don't really see anything special or incredibly attractive about Bless.

As one of the many people that had followed the other versions of this game One of the things that made it great was that it was a truely mature game. Several of us asked that this game not be censored and we were told our feedback would be taken into consideration. Later on several of us were explicitly told that there would not be any sort of censorship. Today the game is released with a surprise Teen rating that showed up only after many of us had already purchased our packs. Instead we have censorship so heavy that cutscenes are altered or completely missing, many quests and entire questlines are gone, the chat and naming filters are insane. This wasn't the game I wanted, it's not the one I was promised, nor is it the game I paid for. The devs are silent on this issue other than the excuse they thought redoing this game as a teen rating would somehow expand their audience and warnings that our access to the other regions may soon be restricted due to the steam release. This is frustrating as the entire reason for playing bless was the mature and realistic content. We don't need another kiddified game and the forums are loaded with people demanding refunds or swearing off the game because of the unneeded and unwanted censorship.

Game bad because censorship

Really quite silly indeed.

As usual I jumped straight in on this with both feet with the mid-tier founders pack even though I've felt sceptical about this, and holy smokes is this a trainwreck in the making. Between the utterly random fps-drops unless you edit ini:s to turn the game into potato mode, the tremendous korean engrish on display, cringey cut-scenes that only barely made sense and a world loading after character select that just got kinda stuck at around 80% doing nothing 9/10 times of the times I launcheed it (assuming I actually got past the title loading screen), I got buyer's regret real fast this time around. For what little it is worth, I played a Lupus ranger.

It's not like the game doesn't have at least a few highlights like a decent character creation tool and the combo system, which would be nice if implemented... Well, half-decently. Problem is that most of the game I saw seems to have been made with an attitude of "that'll do".

And since I bought deluxe, I can't refund? Well, that's also wrong as it turns out, since I got a refund after ~3h playtime citing mostly the reasons above, so if you bought a shiny founders edition there might still be hope if you wish to undo the purchase. And yes, I had opened the package you get in-game.

Anyway, no skin off my back. I went in with low expectations, so it mostly feels like a "too bad, could've been something" affair to me. Also, how do you manage to get performance that terrible from UE3? I mean, it's aged, but no games I've seen run it were ever like this.

Edit: vvvvvv Pretty much that, yes.
