The Bless Online Steam page has been updated with a forward look at Item Enhancement changes coming with the game's next patch on November 7th. The goal, according to the post, is to make it a simpler process to "navigate" the system and know where and when to use Enhancement items. Think "streamlined and intuitive" and you have the gist of the post.
It's a big day for Neowiz and Bless Online as the free-to-play Steam version has officially launched. Early Access players will take home some special items and extra bonus goodies in thanks for their participation. Those who purchased a Collector's Edition will see a lifetime premium membership subscription added to their account as well as exclusive skins.
The Bless Online and Steam pages have been updated with a retrospective look back at the Early Access phase of the game with an eye to its upcoming release as a free-to-play game. The letter begins acknowledging that the game is "a passion project for Neowiz" and that they wanted to achieve the goals of a wide multi-national reach". Part of that was to go to Early Access. While Neowiz wanted this to be a time for "development and changes", the community wanted a more polished game.
On October 23rd, Bless Online will officially launch out of Steam Early Access and will arrive as a free to play game for everyone. Founding members who supported Bless in EA by purchasing a copy will receive a number of in-game items and perks in thanks for their support. This includes anyone who may purchase Bless ahead of the F2P launch. For instance, Collector's Edition owners will receive a lifetime premium subscription. All other edition owners will also receive subscription time.
Today's a big day in the Bless Online world with the announcement that the game is going free to play on October 23rd. We managed to catch up to Neowiz developers to learn more about what players can look forward to in the future and what compensation players who purchased the game in Early Access can expect.
Bless will be getting a beefy update next week with the arrival of a new 10-player raid and a series of Halloween events. The dungeon, called Patala Ruins, is for max-level players to take on once a week and that sports six encounter bosses including the final boss, Ananta, that drops some pretty great loot.
The Bless Online Steam page has been updated with the news that October will feature a login event that will net players some pretty sweet goodies including XP buffs, gathering items, taming scrolls, magic stones, Lucky Spirit Chests, gold, mount skins and more. The full list of each day's rewards is published, so players will know what to expect when logging in.
The Bless Online community is being reimbursed for a server rollback due to complications after the deployment of the last game update. Progress between 1:00 am September 20th and 7:40 pm September 20th has been taken back. Players will receive a package of compensatory items including Lumena, a 3-day premium buff, combat points, dungeon points, gold, reign points and full recovery of redeemed paid items (Steam inventory).
Bless Online has been updated with The Rift of Space & Time that brings players two new level 45 activities to participate in. The Rift of Space & Time is a "horde-mode" instance where players face off against increasing numbers of enemies who also become increasingly strong. In addition, the Random Dungeon feature in the Dungeon Finder is now active that "allows level 45 players to earn additional rewards for defeating the final boss".
The Bless Online Steam page has been updated with a preview of a random dungeon and the Rift of Space & Time that will be released on September 5th. Both are aimed squarely at level 45 players.
Today's announcement by Bandai Namco about its first-ever console-only MMO, Bless Unleashed, has spurred a lot of questions about whether or not this is a port of Bless Online to XBox One (it's not...) and others. The Bless Online site has been updated with a new FAQ to provide answers to the most common questions that illustrate the differences between the two and what the development of Bless Unleashed means to the future of Bless Online.
On August 8th Neowiz delivered on their promise to have the Assassin class in the game, and it's made quite a splash since. While the game is still currently labeled as Early Access, Neowiz was kind enough to give us a fully leveled character so that we could taste a little of what makes the Assassin stand out and why a Bless fan might be interested in giving them the opportunity to become their new Main Character.
The latest Bless Online Community Update has been posted, this time with an emphasis on the recently released Assassin class. Some launch statistics are revealed including how many reached level cap, what stance is most popular and more.
The latest Bless Online Producer's Letter has been published on the game's Steam page. The big news is that all players will be gifted 500 Lumen as a result of a difficult deployment of the recent update. Those with Premium Membership will also receive an additional hour.
Today, Bless Online is getting one of the biggest updates in the game’s tenure. The anchor of the big expansion is the Assassin class along with some sweet new PvP activities. We had a chance to chat with Lead Game Designer Junyoung Hwang, Combat Designer Seongil Ma and Chief Creative Officer Jangchoel Rhee to learn more. Check it out!
