Bless Online Combat Gameplay | NEW Revamped Combat System NA/EU 

Does this look at the new combat system change your opinion on the game at all.. for the better or not? If you want to talk games with weird people come join : discord.gg/fevir

I am super excited, I was pretty sure I'd be rolling Paladin but now I'm 100% sure. Keep the Bless content coming!

Thank you so much for sharing this! The gameplay footage was wonderful to see, and your commentary was the perfect accompaniment! I am now committed to buying Early Access as soon as possible. Sharing this with my friends IMMEDIATELY!

One thing I noticed is they move during the combat just to make it look more action packed but if you pay attention is clearly unecessary and movement especially on paladin looks clunky

I didnt expect magic from Bless combat system, but it's alright. Sucks that mystic wont be available though and will have to roll paladin to heal.

Doesn't look too bad, while I prefer action combat, I can appreciate tab target and what they have going on here seems like it has the potential to be pretty fun, especially in PvP.

I'm actually pretty excited for this. Looks pretty fun chaining abilities together for a rotation :O

Oh shit, I just subbed to your channel like an hour ago and you already uploaded a new vid :v

Coming from WoW and GW2. I'm still excited for this game.

Great video. But I disagree about this not changing much. Mage was my main, I played it to cap on KR Rebuild and JP, and did endgame content with it. This fundamentally changes their gameplay. The whole combat flow, rotations, everything is absolutely night and day different. Not saying that it's a good or bad thing, but it is very different. Also, you can now cast and move as Mage. This used to be locked to popping Air Element for Air skills only.

Looks interesting, will have to give it a go cool vid dude

Looks better, looking forward to try it out!

this actually looks pretty fun

The ranger combo system look pretty good 🙂

Looking better the more we see. Cant wait to see what other changes are in the game.

surely MORE excited to try this new system :D

im so sad mystic won't be at launch, that class i was looking forward to the most ;-; i want this combo UI system to be applied to final fantasy XIV, its annoying having controller UI cluttered with all the chain combos at once or needing to switch hotbars sometimes. closest thing they did for this was their 4.x revamp PVP UI having the next skill in rotation replace the previous one in the same slot so it all be the same button to continue it thus freeing up UI space. "FevirPewPew" goddamn that's adorable haha

I heard about Bless Online a while ago and it looks impressive so far

Looks good to me. I was on the fence about this game, but I'm gonna try this out now.

Coming from wow. Im excited for this game. Been waiting for ever for this. Looks fun and different. Still gonna play it no matter what

One thing i like is having like 30 abilties where 10 are key and all others are very situational. I hope all classes works as builders/spenders just like wow does, besides this, looks good so far.

I agree with most of the previous people. It does look nice, but it looks like there is too much stopping in combat. I don't mind if there is some stopping in combat for some specific skills, but the standing around is the part that makes the combat a lot less action-y. More interested now seeing some nice looking changes to the combat, but still not all in yet.

looks really good excited to try it out may 30th

Wow, Paladin looks so cool and fun! Never choose a healer in my life, but this one I might pick up

Damn don’t feel like playing the JP version anymore😓

I think the ui looks pretty good tbh.

Looks great I can't wait for it

Very helpful, thanks!

It’s interesting reading comments about #BlessOnline combat system. I’m curious what people were expecting? 🤔 It was never going to be #BDO and seems like a good mix of #FF14 and #Tera

I really wished they would revamp the whole movement animations too, they just look sooo awkward...but maybe that was hoping too much. Got too used to BDO combat that tab targeting in general feels lackluster to me. Still going to try it out though.

Main worry is definitely about whether or not you'll still have enough customization with the 4 extra skills and two stances. For all we know, the combination of stance pairings you choose may make a fairly large difference on how you will play compared to another of your class, not even counting the general skills. The additional info they gave about how classes like Berserkers have both leech and bleed modes for tanking/damage sound interesting too. Just crossing my fingers that it'll still feel open with customization, even if there are cookie cutter builds (because there will be).

Thanks for spreading the news. Any chance they'll be releasing a benchmark just so that I have an idea on how it will perform?

Combat looks better than it used to be, but im still pretty 'meh' about the game, not enough changes are being made that make me really care enough to want to try the game....hopefully the fact it'll be early access when it launches in may means they plan to keep tweaking things.

I was hoping it would lean towards BDO combat with more mouse-click oriented that feels more like a fighting game you know? Maybe it will feel different. Bless is definitely growing on me with these videos you're putting out, might give it a try. BDO been feeling kinda dull lately so..

Reminds me of Aion a bit with the whole skill chain thing , and i loved the combat quite a lot in that game.

Great. Now i want a mammoth mount :P As for combat... i'm planning to roll a Ranger first. Chaining special shots looks good, but i'm worried about survivability. Will the character be able to plink out combos fluidly, while dodging left and right all the time? Guess i'll have to see for myself.

I don't know why people are complaining, but that combat system looks really nice and a lot of creativity was put into it. However I did notice one thing that I don't like, and that's the fact that players with incredibly heavy armor are running really fast around enemies. If you're wearing heavier armor, you should be slowed down, and I've seen a few games actually do that recently, even though most of the examples aren't mmorpg. What I'm recommending is something like how dark souls handles weight, where the heavier the armor, the slower you get. Tanks shouldn't have great agility and stamina, they should not take a lot of damage because they're using strong, heavy armor.

One thing I've noticed about mmorpgs and what leads to their downfall, yeah game-play problems effect their downfalls, but one thing is the community of the game itself, and its atmosphere. For example, in Bless online, with all of these shutdowns and rebuilds, the community/atmosphere of the game just is kinda revolved around it failing due to its repeated shutdowns or w.e. I wonder, if there was an MMO or any game in general that built it's community during its development stages, and created faithful players to the game, and due to faithful players(that would probably make them less salty and more reasonable) the atmosphere would be better, would this lead to a more healthful game in itself? For example, if Bless, idk, created a RU-vid channel/forum/discord or something that showcased different things in their development, moves, and their mindset going into the game, while communicating good with their community, would things like it shutting down once(though repeated shutdowns might lead to some people losing faith) or just a bad move be less detrimental for a developers? I thought this up because while playing different games, I noticed that once a developers created a mistake(which since this is a bless online video we can relate to bless online) people, whether a fan of the game or not, would have a HUGE backlash, putting the developers in danger. An example of this for an upcoming game, Peria Chronicles, it's been in development for so long, so the atmosphere is kind of being negative about the game, because it's been like years and there hasn't even been much released yet, but if the developers built up a faithful community and showed them their development, then we could ACTUALLY see what they are doing, and make a better conclusion on whether or not the game will be a bust. Of course they don't have to release EVERYTHING immediately, as surprises are always good, just for general things like models and how they are implementing the systems into the game and such. One thing that I wanna say that if a developers actually did this, made their community closer to their development process building faithful players, in the 2nd paragraph I just wanna clear up that I don't want the people to be like minions to the developer's purpose, but instead look at their development and decide whether or not the game will be good, and then suggest things to the developers that they can add/change, and then the developers respond accordingly. And you know, if they don't do anything about it or don't address this, then... We can conclude that they aren't the best developers, and then react accordingly.

Nice Video Fevir! :) Can i run while im shooting or beating enemies? it looks like i have to stop moving to make my skill or hit...

How would you compare the difficulty of this to a game like FFXIV for instance, when titan was an end game trial? I was wondering if this game will contain a similar feel, because final is the only mmorpg I have seen besides runescape that brings challenge to the scene? Also, how do the think the difficulty will be in the western release? I really don't want to get into a game that is mind numbingly easy again, even though I have been waiting on this game since the second closed combat beta trailer. I saw the first trailer, but that is the trailer that got me way back when it was a thing.

So Bless feels like a baby between GW2 and Aion.

Why do MMO's hate Necromancers :'(

looks good and all but, can you get a fov change or further camera distance? cause that just looks sickening

Seems pretty cool!

I just want to know what reason there is to play this over FF14 or WoW. Any special story telling or world design? Etc.

Why can't "skill based combat" mean having 20+ abilities that you have to "skillfully" chose from depending on the situation, mob, etc., rather than some action based system that always comes down to smashing buttons. If I wanted that I could play an Xbox or PS game on a controller. So damn sick of them dumbing games down to having to arcade-like pressing buttons in a certain sequence rather than actually having to think about which skill is relevant to the situation. Every time I play an action based system with limited skill sets, I feel like I am dropping a quarter into a Mortal Combat game at the Arcade. Up, Down, Left, Left to side kick. Down, Down Right to do a leg sweep. Up, Up, Back to flip backwards in the air while kicking. These are games I played when I was 10 years old. Yuck.

The STance Change is a needed action to activate passive buffs/effects on each class

Freaking good!!!!! I'm so hyped though.

this looks like I should just go play tera again

lel. game comes out in 2018, have been changed 3 times, and still can't hold a candle in front of TERA from 2011 in terms of dynamic combat. that running arround while body twists at ridiculous angles and doesn't stop when attacking and still runs and attacks some more looks bad af well, maybe just games like gw2 aren't my cup of tea. maybe unless it's fully non target I can't get into it.

Great video and i agree with most of the points you made. The balance between Blade and soul and Tab targeting is really important and while thin i think it's the best combat system. While the Combo mechanics are more complicated as long as they allow customization of skills it's gonna be worth it, otherwise its an unnecessary mechanic in the game. Hopefully for pve and pvp the difference doesnt end up being gear or level but actual skill ( customization of skills , rotations/combo , understanding max dps a.k.a crit/evasion triggers and not just RNJ ) .

Rift had some support specs that would actually be dps but with aoe heal abilities based on their dps. They were pretty useful in raids.

It's so tab targety, I just wish it would go full action combat.

Your logo looks like a fart

I really like how the combo system works

There will always be a "rotation" of sorts. It's quite literally impossible to create a system where all paths and choices are equal. One setup and "rotation" will be optimal for single target and one will be optimal for AoE. There is no way around that. And that is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the "rotation" isn't spamming 2 buttons over and over.

The running and circling around the mobs all the time is kinda annoying

looks very similar to FFXIV

I would never have played Bless online on old combat system. But now i will.

Well, it start to look better, maybe there is a hope for mmorpg worth take a look, but will see

its going to fail.

LOOKS SO GOOD

Looks a lot more involved than it used to, Definitely better

wow! bless online look amazing! i wan to play it already

That combat has a GW2 feel from the looks of it, me likey.

waited years for them to bring this over from korea. i am beyond stoked for this release.

would like to see more of the party battles and how they complement each other..

Wanted to play it ages ago when I first heard of it, still going to buy it, assuming they ever release the damn date

Looks okay for Tabtargeting ... and I really like the frontline healer too.

Tab-targeting is alright, as long as it isn't slow. This doesn't look slow so I look forward to it. :D

Combat looks fun to me!

So it uses combos uh, it reminds me of BnS. They should add (if they did not) states, such as "if the enemy is on the ground, you can use certain abilities" and things like that, to make it even more dynamic. But as it is, it looks pretty good.

I'm so hypedddddd

It's like Aion meets GW2 I like the look of the new combat system, just have to try it out myself. I'm 100% on board if you can customize the skill chains yourself like in Soul Worker.

Finally some MMO that gets Tera online inspiration in combat... Nice :D

Man if I would have more time. I would really love to develop a fresh and modern approach to mmo classes on paper with someone like you. You know what you're talking about. I've some crazy and in my head awesome ideas and would like to hear your thoughts. I myself am an old mmo veteran and got into the gamedev world (but on the 3d art side). If I ever find the time would you mind giving me feedback? I'll contact you.

Gotta admit given what they had to work with neowiz really did a nice job pulling the combat to a state of near action. Given the games baseline combat system when it came out they did a good job keeping true to the style while really hoping the flow. Looking at just the Jp comparison to the name footage I notice a huge difference. I'm a bit curious about the standing between skills but I feel as though that's more latency or input delay However one thing I'm immensely thankful for is it doesn't seem like there's a global cool down now.

So basically like Blade and souls combo system you saying? For instance I'm a Swordmaster main you have 2 stances draw stance and normal stance, each stance if activated will give you a set of different skills exclusive to that stance and a skill combo activation will pop up a special move like the blade storm thing of the BM's that activates a set skill too. Am I right? Well I can see why they choose this system not just it's very dynamic it is also great for action combat games squeezing out those classes potentials in gameplay unlike tab target hack and slash.

The changes look good to me. Combat seems interesting and I’m looking forward to the release. I don’t think it will fail too soon..

Is there some reason that different classes have different random spaces between their abilities? Pally has 3 then a space, Berzerk had like 4 then a space, mage had 5.

First time seeing this game. Looks interesting

Oh and a lot of people dont really know this, but bless is semi action with tab target elements as well. In fact you can turn on and off the reticle that shows which enemy your attack is targeted at. Not fully action combat. This system looks like a blend between BDO and GW2 now. Should make things very interesting.

gw2 hotbars with blade n soul combo procs. better than i expected tbh

Looks good to me.

I really hope they'll someday update it to being 3 stances, rather than 2 stances.. it just feels like so little skills.. but the combo system does seem like it could be interesting (with an additional stance).

I liked the combat. They have improved and changed many things which is really positive. I think the most attractive class for me was the ranger. I liked the combat and how active it is. So definitely I am gonna start with this class till we get the next 2 :D

Do you get to keep your stats, gear, level, etc when the game is out of early access?

The combat is a lot better ..,I mean, that's how it looks. I hope it is , because this game so far , from what I've seen is awesome, and I wanna play it so bad

I like this combat,i like that its not flashy and,swing a dagger-hit 10 enemies like on BDO.

coming from a guy who hasnt playing a mmo since guild wars (ive tried some just cant get into them i literally loved guild wars, think it was my mmo true love or something) this looks really cool. wish there was a few more skills though

on theory sounds interesting but i am afraid it is gonna be that you have a bunch of choices but one of them is clearly better

I'm still hyped.

Honestly excited for this game. Finally something with both pvp and Pve

Will you be able to play all classes on one character like final fantasy?

Holy shit that looks FUN! I only hope the game CHALLENGES you, you know? Nowdays they make all the MMOs flashy as hell but you're a god on Earth and that's no fun. Makes it a no-brainer if it's so easy your skills and choices aren't tested, then inviting friends to play is redundant too. I'm a co-op whore, I need my fix of tough group danger! By the way, what's the gauge filling by the combo choices? Is it merely a timer or does it affect your output if it's high or lower or at some sweetspot?

So, if i wanted to play a full ice mage, that is not the option anymore?, because from the pieces i gather here and there, i could pick which skills i wanted to use on the rebuild

The Beserker looks awesome. But I don't like how the leg movements are so detached from the upper torso based on the archer,mage and paladin. Moving from side to side while attacking, you can see the legs and torso animations look very much detached from one another. Very light and floaty leg movements.

how do you change the mouse where you can use it ingame where the cursor disappears until you press escape

It looks pretty dope.

i was hoping to play mystic, but now i would need to take paladin. And when is the NA/EU beta start?
