Information from the interview with the developers
During the event, Twitch streamer Arctix conducted an interview with the developers of Bless Online. Questions from the community were asked there.
Premium Membership: Players receive monthly cosmetic content, but no items that affect gameplay. The premium membership costs $15 per month.
Will there be a preload? Currently, the developers are still unsure. They think it would be good to offer players a preload. However, they still need to check with Valve, the operator of Steam.
Can players earn the premium currency? Yes, the premium currency Lumena can be earned in-game. You can exchange PvP points or points obtained in dungeons for Lumena.
Do the founder packages in Europe cost exactly the same as in North America – does a conversion rate of 1 Euro = 1 Dollar apply? The developers want to stick to Valve’s internal conversion system. They might adjust the price (currently, the rate is 1 Euro = 1.19 Dollar – so it would be cheaper in Euro).
PvP to obtain flying mounts
What does the endgame look like in PvP? There will be a specific currency that can only be obtained in open-world PvP. With this, you can purchase special items. This currency is the only way to acquire flying mounts. There will be specific times for instanced PvP when you can sign up for it.
Will there be trading between players? No, this is disabled. However, you can send items to your twink via mail. The auction house will be highly regulated. There will be fixed minimum and maximum prices for items.
Will the UI be customizable? The UI has caused performance issues in Bless Online. Therefore, the UI has been completely redesigned for our version of the game. At the release of Bless Online, you will only be able to enlarge or reduce the UI.
Bless launches with a third of the content
Will there be more game content for guilds? At the release of the early access version of Bless Online, a third of the planned content for guilds will be in the game. More will follow.
How many stances will the classes have? Each class will have 6 different stances.
No more auto-attacks. You will only deal damage through your abilities. Players should switch between their two stances. Stance abilities will cool down even if the stances are not currently active.
How many servers will there be at launch? 2 in Europe (Frankfurt) and 3 in North America (Virginia).
Will there be seasonal events? Seasonal events are planned by the developers. They want to give players the opportunity to celebrate their enjoyment of the game.
What about the Siren race and the Warlock class? Both are expected to be released in 2019. The Assassin and Mystic classes are intended to be added in the next 6 to 12 months.
What does the update plan look like? The developers are trying to provide the game with major content updates every three months.
System requirements for Bless? Powerful test PCs run it smoothly
At the event, the invited influencers had the opportunity to play our version of Bless Online. The game ran very smoothly on the test PCs. They had the following specifications:
Graphics card: NVidia GTX 1080
Memory: 16 Gigabytes
Processor: i7-4790K
If your PC has similar specifications, you should not have any issues at the launch of Bless Online. However, the specifications are quite high – you will then have to see what the official system requirements for Bless will be.
