The limit is more than 8. You need 1 to 4, Z to V, Tab, F, Q, E, Left mouse(or R) and Right mouse(or T). You also need to tweak the setup based on the class you play due to animation cancelling, so you need certain skills available at the same time without R1/L1 swaps to cancel properly, so it sounds kinda annoying to setup. No idea how the gamepad support is for this either, but using Xpadder or similar you could probably make a fairly decent setup.
You should have a pm
GAMEPAD support is native. Xbox prompts included. No issues just plugging in and playing here. You can assign modifiers (up to two buttons) as well. They are called "function" commands (F1 and F2 is how they show up in game). This helps free up buttons for skills.
ugh you cant add costumes to the wardrobe unless you are premium, thats horseshit
anyway Assassin is my favorite class so far, followed by Destroyer. Gonna do Summoner now which actually seemed super fun early on shockingly enough

That feel when you wake up and realize you have all day to play Blade & Soul.
Just wanted to thank everyone for migrating over to the Mushin server. I know waiting in the queue was a pain on Thursday and Friday, and the fact that you guys bit the bullet and dealt with it anyway so Ultimadrago and myself could provide anyone aid and get the clan up and running was super awesome. You guys rock! Looking forward to playing with you guys today until my door gets bodied by trick-or-treaters.
And thanks again ViciousDS for the mumble server, it is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use!
Great, will add you

Managed to get in Mushin, if someone can add me: Shieru Kitsun
Will do!
Edit: Have you joined the Crimson Legion yet? Tried inviting you but it says you're not of the same faction yet.

So another question. The people who are asking for keys, where are these keys actually being acquired from in the first place?

They gave away a bunch and Curse had a key giveaway also, but it's only for this weekend and keys are gone. You can get access to the beta weekends by buying a founder pack, and you can refund it at any point until name reservation(which is a few days before headstart), so there's no real need for a key unless you can't afford the 25$ temporary cost.

I'm on Mushin! Name - Shaolinfire
got Destroyer, Assassin, Summoner and Blade Master to 10 (actually 12 for Destroyer). Destroyer and Assassin are feuding for favorite class, Summoner was a nice surprise, and I dont really like Blade Master, maybe later it gets better.
I didnt like Force Master AT ALL, or Kung Fu Master. Still need to give Kung Fu another try tho.

Weee more Assassins. I love Force Master and Blade Master blossom when you get the latter skills.
Hey man, blame the devs for making Assassin easily the most flashy class from 1 to 10

Is there no way to end combat manually? It is quite annoying trying to run-by enemies and be forced into combat mode when you don't necessarily want to do combat. Makes traveling by foot a pain, which goes into my next thing, why isn't stamina unlimited in/around towns/villages?
there is no way to not aggro mobs if you run near them, in any mmo that I can recall
and stamina should be unlimited everywhere, not just in towns, in my opinion

Wait till you reach 25. But the Force and Sword Master who are flashy just like them. KFM is something else.
I prefer Destroyer for my grappling needs, again, at least up to 10ish
So just like I thought, PvP is a beast. I restarted to try Kung fu master and holy shit the grapples.
You can mount them, and do all sorts of mean and disgusting things to them. The fighting gamer in me is already going around challenging people everywhere. Most people like to fight 1v1 to make it fair, but sometimes others will jump in and do dirty things to you.
I died in my first fight because I didnt know PvP was just 'on' like that when you wore the faction outfit (durp I know, I shouldve paid attention). Dude jumped me while I was in a menu and said "YOU MAD"? After that... I found him, and eliminated him.
...MAN! I had to chase people how bad I was wearin they asses out. > I had people going " I wasnt ready for it!" and screaming as I punched their faces in on the ground.
I just had a Double Ko where I think someone poisoned me after I ko'd them. We both laughed as it was a ridiculous way for me to die after I won.
EDIT: Oh and that leg sweep into combo. DAMN!

Alina Tevos on Mushin. Could use an invite
I have a few questions.
1. If I spend coins now, will I get them back when the game actually launches?
2. I assume nothing from beta carries over, right?
3. Should I use any rewards I get from founders packs? Will I waste them by using them now, or will I get them again at launch?

Is that "no, nothing carries over" or "no, you're not right, everything carries over?"

No, nothing carries over. Your character and their assets are wiped.

Gonna have to disagree there as I generally hate playing melee. Force Master isn't bad.Problem with all these action MMOs is that melee is infinitely more fun than ranged. It's true in this game, too. At least so far.
I want a ranged class that feels as fun.
What we really need is Warlock to be released. Definitely try them whenever they come out.
I think some of the boss drop tables already include Warlock-exclusive items.
Good work, guys.
Yeah they did a great job there. I'm hoping that whatever length of time they're staggering the Warlock release by is a short one.

I don't know how it was in the Russian version, but you have to wear certain outfits to engage in PvP at all (or enter the arena). So it's very easy to avoid.
The topic of animation cancelling came up in-game and I decided to post some videos detailing what that exactly is:
Animation Cancelling with the Destroyer
Animation Cancelling with the Destroyer II
Animation Cancelling with the Kung-Fu Master
As you can see in the videos you're basically spamming the skills that have an instant cast time to them (usually your main attack and another), which causes your character to attack insanely fast. Getting the timing and rhythm may take a bit at first but don't fret, it's not a technique that's necessary until end game content.
===================================
Also wanted to give a heads that later on this evening/night (after everyone is done Trick-or-Treating/Passing out candy) Ultimadrago and myself will be doing Blackram Narrows runs for those who are around the level 20 range so people can get their weapon evolution and spirit shield upgrades! If you're available feel free to join us!

I keep thinking about that Yogi Berra quote: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
I've been making my test characters on Iksanun because I can always get in instantly, which is necessary to try out different classes and such. But I decided to try and stick with Destroyer for a while, so I made a new one on Mushin and I'm hit with an 85+ minute queue. Ah well, if I decide to stick with this game after launch, maybe I'll be able to playing with GAF people.

We've been giving Premium Memberships to people who come over to Mushin so they won't have to bother with the queue anymore.
