Neowiz announced a new mode for Bless Online where you will compete with 15 versus 15 players. The PvP mode “Peninsular War” is set to be introduced today, June 1st.
How does Peninsular War work? You will compete against each other in the southern Peninsular on a small battlefield. A total of 30 players can participate, 15 fighting for the Hieron faction and 15 for the Union.
Here are the rules:
- In total, there are 4 normal bases and one special base.
- Each time players capture a base, the team earns points.
- The faction that reaches 20,000 points first wins.
- There is a timer. If no team reaches 20,000 points before time runs out, the team with the most points wins.
The decision on which base to capture is crucial for victory: The strategy in this mode is to capture the “right” bases. If your character dies in battle, it will respawn at the nearest base. Will you split up and capture multiple bases or stick together and focus on a specific base? These questions will arise on the relatively small battlefield.
An event rotation is set to bring variety to the mode
A “Season rotation” against boredom: To prevent the mode from becoming stale, Neowiz has introduced a rotation that slightly alters the battlefield. The basic rules remain the same. However, you can expect to encounter toxic swamps one week, and in the next week, sky bridges will be available.
This is what the weekly season rotation looks like:
- Season 1: Useful items are scattered across the battlefield.
- Season 2: You will encounter neutral mobs that you can convert into allies.
- Season 3: A sky bridge stretches across the map, allowing you to quickly reach important bases.
- Season 4: Mana consumption and skill cooldowns are reduced.
Combat points are given as rewards for participation
Regardless of whether your faction won or lost: All players participating in the Peninsular War receive combat points as a reward. You can earn additional rewards by completing daily quests.
These are the rewards:
- Victory: 700 combat points.
- Defeat: 100 combat points.
- Completing the Peninsular Wars Daily Quest: 300 combat points
- The quest was completed successfully: 75 points.
- The quest was not completed successfully: 35 points.
Combat points are used to purchase useful items in the Special Currency Shop.
This is how you participate in the Peninsular War in Bless
If you want to try this 15vs15 player PvP mode for yourself, select Menu(Esc)>War(b)>Battlefield, where Peninsula War is now listed. Once matchmaking is completed, both teams will spawn on the battlefield. Before the battle begins, there is a waiting period of 2-3 minutes.
Many players assumed that the 15vs15 player mode would be available at the release of Bless. However, this was not the case, which upset the players. In a public apology, Neowiz explained that the missing content would gradually be added to the game now.
When exactly the mode will be added to Bless today is still unknown.
