Blade & Soul Shows How Your Weapon Grows with Your Character
I'm a sucker for weapon advancement. FFXIV did that (and will do more of it soon) with their relic weapon quests. Yeah, it's a pain in the neck type of grind in some games (like FFXIV) but it's one of those "off" things to do and I really like the idea of sticking with a weapon and improving it rather than replacing things you worked for with a vendor item the next time an update rolls around.
Knowing that about me, it should come as no surprise then that I like the news NCSoft dropped about weapon advancement in the upcoming (in the West) free to play MMORPG, Blade & Soul. The idea is basic: your weapon grows with your character. You can use materials to upgrade your weapon to the max. When at max though you can "breakthrough" and continue to upgrade your weapon. It'll take a lot of work to do this though as the materials needed are held by some pretty big baddies. Max that weapon to level 10 and it even transforms into a whole new weapon to continue upgrading.

PC release is still on track for sometime this year.

A 15th Anniversary Starship Bundle also gets its full reveal.

If you didn’t get yours on March 13th, you’ll want to check and see if you get it tomorrow.

Players also now have a way to transfer Pals between worlds.
There is no content in game. The only thing you got is classic quests (crap) and good fighting system (pvp and boss fights). Thats all you got in game. Open world pvp system is dumb. You have to put on yourself the costume of one of opposing fractures to be able to attak some body who wears another costume (white and red ones).
Overall its a good game but with lack of content and lots of grind. Its probably worth playing but not worth the hype. I've been hyped about this game and know what i'm saying. I hope I've opened eyes to some one.
