I would be deep in my bewb and soul ache but I am just leveling my kunoichi for DFO and it's something else.

Better to call it the sprit fighter or the soul fighter.

 

[SDBurton]

Class looks so sick. Praying NCSoft will stick to their word and be aggressive with their content updates because I want this class ASAP.

 

[ShinMaruku]

We will know how it is within the first content update.

Did they state that officially or is that your guess? :lol

I think he means we'll see what kind of patching they're doing after the first patch. Like minor stuff/long delay, or lots of stuff at once/short delay.

Ah gotcha. So tired right now, might have an early night. :lol

Exactly.

Has there been any word on who may be doing beta key give aways for this CBT?

 

[Pyros_Eien]

They generally do this stuff 1day before the beta weekend starts, you'll have to wait. You can still preorder, get beta, and cancel if you don't get free keys.

 

[SDBurton]

Pretty much what Pyros_Eien said. I'll be on the lookout for any giveaways and will let you all know immediately when something does pop up.

Looks like Razer is giving away some keys:

[ShinMaruku]

I got my key. :E

This is why I am late on buying a founder's pack. I get in. :E

 

[-Deimos]

Got one too, thanks for posting.

Nice find! Appreciate it!

 

[ShinMaruku]

Gaf has been on point in this thread. I hope it translates to a decent guild. Hell we don't even need 100 or 50 just enough to make us groove.

Thx, got mine, didn't even need to sign up for anything.

 

[GrandHusk]

Got a key this morning
ready for another weekend

Don't know what class I should try this time :x

Seriously, gets me so hyped. Thanks again Atomicfireman for finding that giveaway.

I'm happy to help!

Thanks for the PM.

Also I noticed it said Dec 10-22 when I registered the code. Did they change the timing so it's going to run throughout that entire time period?

 

[Numb]

Thanks for the PM SD.

You are invited to participate in this weekend's Closed Beta test of Blade & Soul! The Closed Beta test will be live from Friday December 11th at 10:00AM PST until Monday December 14th at 10:00PM PST.

Once again, I may give away my code sometime during the day the next beta starts.

Since I already know I love the game, I want someone else to give it a try to see if they like it if they do not get a key.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

@ Guys, do any of you understand the performance settings. In both the Korean, the Russian and now the english beta, have I had major performance drops. My experience looks nothing like the smooth videos I see.


- It feels like micro stutter, but I am not sure what is causing it. Also, my framerates completely tank in areas with rain (like the first open area you visit after the tutorial) and its like my computer has problems loading new assets fast enough. Like you move so fast in the world that the game jitters.


I have 970 GTX and a i7 4970k, so I am thinking it has to be some of the settings I've cranked up.


There is that BnS special AA- Is that better than the default Anti Aliasing? Also, compared to some others. Would love a performance optimization guide.

 

[SDBurton]

No problem!

That would be awesome if so. At the very least it looks like you're covered for the CBT this weekend and the one next week.

Thanks for the PM SD.

You're welcome.

I'll look around and see what's up.

Thank you I just got the code!

 

[shadow2810]

Way too busy playing Xenoblade so I probably won't play this until actual release D:

 

[Astra]

Got my key! Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow

 

[Jotamide]

Got a key! Sweeeet.

 

[Philtastic]

I also just got a code from the Razer link. Gonna try it out for the first time and see what the hype is about!

 

[SDBurton]

Got my key! Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow

Be sure to pm me in game!

I'll be home around 3:30 PST or so.

 

[Ranmo]

I don't think I will have time to play this weekend, but I am very excited about the game and own a founders pack. I look forward to joining the rest of you during release! Would have joined last beta weekend but my Gaf account was still waiting to be approved.

Well a double welcome to you then!

I'm sure SDburton will get you squared away with the faction whenever you can get on.

Congrats on your account approval Ranmo!

You get bonus points for having Vert in your avatar. Best girl.

As Vex Krone said, just let me know when you get on and I'll make sure to get you settled.

 

[ZSeba]

I just installed the CBT and I can't get past the title screen.

All it shows is the title and some moving background, no input works :/

Am I doing something wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong at all, it's just that the servers are down at this time meaning the only thing you access is the title screen.

Servers will be up tomorrow at 10:00 AM PST

Oh, thanks! I wish they'd comunicate that to players, somehow.

Spoiler

yet it's my fault for not knowing the beta dates

 

[Ranmo]

Sweet, and thanks! :]
If I end up having time for this beta weekend I will let you all know!
Last test I was having a blast with KFM. Though I still haven't decided on what class I want to play once live hits.
I still have time to test the waters and decide.

No worries, we'll be here.

So I got ahold of a key for this weekend and I'll be giving it a shot. Haven't had an MMO really grab me in awhile but the combat system in this seems interesting.

Nice. Message me in game (name is Yuridaze) so I can friend you and send you a premium membership. Will help you level faster, get more money from quest turn-ins and mobs, and will give you login priority.

For those of you who are just joining us, be sure to choose the Mushin server, as that's where the GAF clan is.

Oh wow. I'll definitely message you and join up with the Gaf Guild but don't waste anything special on me that would help someone more enamored with the game. This is more of a curiosity test on my part.

Oh its nothing. For the last 3 CBTs purchasing Premium Memberships have been super cheap so I have no problem gifting them out to those that need them.

Oh definitely don't gift me anything that costs money! I appreciate that you want to help people out and it may not be a big deal for you but if I end up not playing the game I'd feel like a super dick for accepting anything like that.

No I mean it's literally 1 NCoin. That's it. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper cheap. lmao

Oh. Well now I feel stupid anyways. lol

 

[Ultimadrago]

Man, it has been a while since I've gotten into Blade and Soul. Tomorrow should be cool.

I'll be sure to. I'll spam you if you have to! >:}

You're here too?! lol

I ended up receiving a beta key from ncsoft after I won one from Razer (Thanks SDBurton!).
ModBotting would be a hassle, so just quote to see.
