is it worth

[loreleidiangelo]

Currently playing Blade and Soul in favor of this ATM, but I won't deny that endgame is dull as hell right now. On the other hand, combat and comboing are super fast-paced, fairly skill intensive, and rely on quick reflexes in some aspects (a good PC/ping in others...ugh). Going back to XIV's 2+ second GCD just feels positively glacial in comparison.

If you're interested in something more pvp-focused and casual, BNS is great. Log in, do dailies, thrash some peeps in arena, log out. If you're looking for a game to sink endless hours into and foster a friendly, helpful community...avoid it like the plague. There's a real lack of side content that hasn't been remedied in the games' native Korean origin, and the NA community is just frothingly angry all the time.

"Dying" is a bit relative...XIV's been doing it for years, if you believe the forums every pre-patch lull. But people aren't exactly wrong about bots and lag (though I experience none of it myself, playing on the East Coast). Class imbalance exists, but is much overblown by bads who pick high-skill melee classes then wonder why they can't furiously roll their face over their keyboard in a horizontal direction and do well. Better balance patches will occur when the level cap is raised in a few months, but I don't find the game too bad as it is.

tl;dr, it's good for a lark and free to try, so give it a go. If you don't like it, all you waste is your time, whereas with this game you're out $12 lol.

what game do you find more casual blade or ffxiv? because in blade yeah you have dailies but it takes more time to do than ffxiv i think (im not 60 yet) it takes me like 3-4 hours to complete all blades dailies without alt

I guess the simplest way to describe it is....the hardest content in BNS is not as hard as the hardest content in FFXIV. On the other hand, the easiest content in BNS is way harder than the easiest content in FFXIV. If you're a midcore player, you should be able to clear everything in BNS with enough gear and practice, though I'll never recommend pugging.

If you're using "casual" as a reference to time spent rather than player skill, then BNS is way more grindy/hardcore than FFXIV. Boatloads more. The content is pretty ACCESSIBLE, but as you mentioned with the dailies, very time-consuming. I like the combat enough where I don't mind spamming the same two raid zones for money and upgrades, but the combat can only carry the game so far. We'll see what the level cap raise in a month or two brings.
