Its not totally free form like Tera (and I concur, not as fun) but it's not completely tab/target either, sorta hybrid.

I liked the battle system way more than TERA mostly due to not being rooted to the ground during attacks. I hate that shit. It felt more fluid to me because of that.
I'm also speaking as someone that prefers tab-target to action combat so i'm sure that plays a large part.

http://www.twitch.tv/bladeandsoul
Ncsoft had a twitch steam announcement at 10 am this morning and they answered quite a few questions, showed off gameplay and talked about the game. Here were some of the highlights :
- B&S will be Free to Play
- NC promises they game will not be P2W. (We will have to wait and see)
- Three will not be a segregation of the playerbase based on Patron Status.
- The Kun race will be changed to the Yun race. (NC thought Kun sounded bad)
- There will be no westernization of the character creation. (Big Boobs await)
- The in game cut scenes voice overs will all be in English.
- There will be Korean & Chinese voice over for those who want it.
- Other languages will be available such as French and German.
- Skills, abilities, and such will get the most updated version of the game.
- Content will be capped at lvl 45 and the story capped at Act 3 at launch.
- There will be no censorship of the game.
- Three will only be 2 servers to start. One in NA and the other in Europe.
- There are currently no plans for an Oceanic Server.
- NC plans to have ESports for BnS in the future.
- NC plans on having more communication/interaction towards the community.
- There will be no no IP Block / No Region Block for the time being.
- The Na version will not have a vigour system or a fatigue system.
- The server locations will be in Dallas,Texas for Na and Frankfurt,Germany for EU.
- NC will hold tournaments and Events on the server.
- Founders packs have not been decided yet.
1 server is a good idea, unless they don't manage it well and people can't get in to play. The constant server merging gets old.
Hm, I forgot about that. Used to channel system. Can't remember if CBT had it when I played.
Korean version had channels, don't see why US wouldn't.
Needs more fan service
Jesus Christ.
Remember, some part of this game is about, like... fighting or something... I dunno. Tits.
I'm laughing at the thread title change.
What? I thought it was about the...

and quality pass time ... "customizing" your character...

Lol gulk, your site is flagged by our av here at work.
This thread seems dead, needs more action..lol
Some of those 'armor sets' look more like body paint.
It's to cut back on clipping, honest!
Ok serious news. NCSoft has talked about the monetization of the game here in the west.
http://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/news/...odel-revealed/
When we announced Blade & Soul, we said it would be free-to-play. Now, we’re giving you the lowdown on how free-to-play we’re going to be.
Our Philosophy
We believe in letting everyone play the game as it’s intended to be played – skill-based progression throughout all the available content. No paywalls will hold you back, and no amount of money will give you an unfair competitive advantage over other players. We don’t like pay-to-win, so what we are offering are cosmetics, convenience, and consumables – not power, not gear, not permanent stat increases. We’re also going to make sure that we have a regular schedule of content updates that everyone will be able to enjoy.
NCoin & In-game Coin
Our cash shop in the game will be using NCoin – you’ll recognize it as the currency that WildStar will be using, as well as the North American-published Aion and Lineage II. You can purchase NCoin online or through retail outlets (US Only). With this NCoin, you’ll be able to purchase convenience items like food, potions, and repair tools; quality of life improvements such as character slots, inventory expansions, and Premium memberships; and cosmetic items like costumes and accessories.
We’re also introducing an in-game currency that is earned through gameplay. This in-game currency can be used to purchase many of the same items in the cash shop as what NCoin can purchase, including event-related items.
Premium Membership
An item offered in our cashshop is Premium Membership, which is active for 30 days. Having an active membership will give you all sorts of quality of life benefits to enhance your enjoyment of the game – for example, a special windwalk animation and discounts in the Auction House. The benefits of membership are specifically developed for Blade & Soul West and will keep in line with our philosophy – no power boosts here.
Our membership comes in Tiers; you start at Tier 1 and immediately unlock all sorts of neat benefits that get better as you rise in tiers. Membership tier levels increase with the amount of NCoin and in-game currency that is spent including on Premium Membership itself! Once you’ve unlocked a tier, you will never drop below it but you will need an active membership in order to experience all the benefits; as soon as your membership is inactive, you lose access to the benefits.
Founders Packs
Want guaranteed access to the Closed Beta that’s coming this fall? We’re offering 3 different Founders Packs, and all three come with a Closed Beta key that’s good for the entire CBT period. More details about the Pack contents will be coming soon as we get closer to opening up pre-order on these packs.
Have questions? Join us on our Livestream on June 24th at 10AM PDT
New English video
There is supposed to be a big update concerning the western version of Blade and soul on Aug. 18th.
