That really sucks, this is the only AARPG I want to try.
This game was fun, but I think it's getting way overhyped - it's not that great and suffers from end game made-in-korea fuckery. Still, had a fun few weeks with it and a few of the classes are really fun to play.
Definitely needs to be season 2, as it added quite a bit of good stuff to the game. Launch version was still pretty fun to level up in, play a few classes but I ran out of steam quickly at end game.There's a lot of changes with Season 2, some good some questionable, but yeah, it's still pretty Korean. I'm wondering what version NA will launch with. Normal launch version? Season 2 version? Pre-Season 2 with some of the newer classes? The original launch version is pretty shit IMO, but a large part of that is most of the classes I like weren't in at launch.
Japan is launching with Season 2, so NA should get that version hopefully.

Yeah, I played at RU launch for like a month with a Devil Hunter main. Then I played the KR version for a couple weeks (kept getting re-verify banned). Really liked the Lance Master and both Assassin classes, plus the catch up mechanics- Duo versions of the 4 man raids (4 man is way overtuned and a huge gold drain) and bosses dropped way more upgrade mats. Couldn't go back to RU after that, so quit for a few months. Played again recently after RU added LM and Ass, playing 6 characters, because with the daily/weekly limits playing just one sucks ass. Taking another break until RU gets Season 2. Really should be grinding gold/silver until then, but it just gets so repetitive.
Game would be much better if they focused a bit more on the MMO aspects. It's just log in, do your 3 raid dailies, 3 quests dailies and done(forgot about the Chaos Event mini-dungeons, more boring repetitive shit). The ocean content is aids, the 15 minute 1.5 per day tradeskill gathering instances are retarded. The silver money sinks are pant-on-head. Money sinks for a currency that is not part of the economy (only gold is). The questing is really, really boring. NPCs talk too damn much, and you can only skip the dialogue one line at a time. And this lame shit is why the game takes so fucking long to translate. I could go on. I don't bother with PVP with 160ish ping, will probably give that a shot in the NA version if I can stomach the 1-50 experience again.
I know Season 2 helps with some of these issues. Here's hoping that they continue in that direction. The upcoming Scout and Reaper classes look really fun.
I was really tempted to do the translation install and all that for the RU data center > But just like a beta, I knew I wouldnt want to "redo" a character if I got banned or it came to NA. It takes some real boredom for me to truly level a second character of the same class, much less the same experience all over again. But like others, I really just want to play it and see how I like it. I may not play but a month or two, but everything I read or watch about this game hits so many buttons.
