Make sure your client is patched to the correct version. After that just search "windows 8.1 patch blade and soul". It will give you a link to the dojo site. Make sure you get the right one to match your version. The op wasn't updated and I had to find it in the thread itself. That should work. Don't launch the game with the B&S icon, use the other launcher one.
theres an English translation patch someone put out that helps navigate the ui and such, but yes its basically all Chinese I don't know how the game plays out with a more action oriented class wich is basically everything but summoner and force master with high ping, but the summoners game play feels "ok" at 230 or so ping but the pet helps and being a caster helps as well..
honestly if you don't mind the whole Chinese thing Id give it a shot, it is definitely playable I don't see myself playing it for a long ass time because eventually the whole Chinese thing will get in the way and possibly the fact that I cant combo how I should may make progression rough but, theres a lot of English speaking players I found a random group of 10 the first night I hopped on and have been on mumble with them since, im taking this time to get familiar with the game and combat so that when it is released in NA ill be ready to go, mostly to get a feel for what class I will roll.
you can get skill calculators on the BnS dojo forums.
yeah I can understand that, maybe since I never played an action combat mmo like tera the combat is just such a breath of fresh air to me I kind of ignore all the Chinese and truck through, it will get tough later when I don't know how to gear or skill or even be able to combo because of the lag but I think the summoner is a good choice to combat the lag and still be able to play the class decently. im not looking to get invested unfortunately I wish I could but its a good time burner I think at least for me just for the combat, and I like testing the waters and playing betas so I know what class I will play at launch even if its... like a year or more away sadly. the world is really nice as well if you don't mind all the Chinese lore and shit I personally am a martial arts movie junkie so it fits, fucking love me some shaw brothers.
That's not the actual barrier in playing KR MMOs now. People got around that for years using dubious methods like KSSN generators. The real problem now is that it requires the combination of a KSSNandKR cell phone identification. It's one thing for someone in the US to falsify that sort of info from abroad, but it's something else entirely for someone who's in Seoul to do the same thing with an easily traceable source.
