Fighting through foreign languages and vpns and shit pings to play a beta/alpha is a good way to burn out before release, haha.
This.

I will wait while till it gets here. By then it should be more polished(hopefully), I will have upgraded my comp and I can actually play MMOs again.

Just seems so odd to watch people jump through hoops and pay for Korean "Identities" just to play it right away.

I got it early because its that mmo launch feeling. By the time it comes to north america hacks will be well developed, the meta will be well established, there will be large groups of players who know exactly what they need to do and where to go quickly. It just doesnt have that same exploration feeling.

If it launches soon in NA then you won't have that issue. If it's like any other korean MMO dev, it'll be so delayed the game will be antiquated like AA.

I would think its close at least, since its the same publisher for both. Usually these games look or get publishers after release, plus the delay between the two , so NA version is always way behind.

think theyve said betas starting around march-may with launch in late 2015/early 2016 for NA.

So I just downloaded the whole game from some link on reddit. Popped it into my folder + Google DNS the game is updating now which is nice. We'll see if I can get in and play a whore sorcerer.

I have to say, that info graphic, with equipment affecting movement and swing speed, and not simply raw numerical stats...and how weather affects you depending on clothing, and how mounts are persistent? Really sold me. If they get a decent publisher, I'll be a day one player....That's a big if though.

But really, I hope this is a direction more games take. Where equipment and abilities have non-quantifiable properties; like how weight makes you move and jump. Or how a heavier weapon might affect different mob types differently, or affect your animation (And having consequence to those animations, like Dark Souls.)...Shit like that is what keeps my completely immersed in a world, because it ends up causing so many permutations that you never really pin down "what's best"...it usually becomes wildly different depending on each players abilities.

Dunno. After archeage I really hope its not p2w or an endless pve grind to be able to PvP.

Ok i'm playing right now. I have no idea what I'm looking at. Doing starter quests. I don't know what I need to do. This game has zero issues running with like 30 people in this newbie area fighting shit. Seems like a lot of complex systems. I'm also like climbing over shit rather than bunny hopping. Nice touch.

I feel like such an elitist asshole, but I refuse to play any hand me down MMORPGs that come out a year or more after the original release of the game. As awesome as BD looks, the fact that Korean devs normally don't give a single fuck about releasing to westerners in a timely manner turns me off completely. FFXIV simultaneous multi-region updates gave me a serious hard on. Thanks Japanese devs! These trashy Korean second hand, late and mostly forgotten goods make me flaccid. I think a lot of us were hopeful that this game would be different, and that we would have a timely non-Korean release on our hands, but color me not surprised.

Plus, most of these people are not exactly giving them incentive to release an English version in a decent time frame by being perfectly willing to play on the Korean servers, and make fan-made English patches.

im on Calpheon (???) draegan, second from the bottom on that list. Same server as the reddit guild, only one with a community of english speakers as far as I know.

also the chinese cash shop launched today, people are saying no real p2w elements in it, just cosmetics. Im a bit doubtful with how some of the things look but I dont know what any of them do.
