I'm friends with a few people in the Brazilian BU community and it is nice that they have representation here. But, people do often react negatively to self-promotion, even when it's coming from a good place. Asking you to comment on other people's posts now and then is a way to give you credibility. That way it doesn't look like you're just spamming your content for views. I hope you reconsider withdrawing. I would love to see you interact with community more and keep sharing your content

Hah wow that was fast. Good work!

Would love to see this happen

Thanks for this. I know people are disappointed but I see it as a good sign that they want to be fully finished before they release

Hi guitarrist. Sorry, that's just an expression. We expect everyone to be respectful of each other here, and when I feel someone is being disrespected I try to step in. When I feel disrespected specifically, it puts me in a weird position because this is my subreddit and no matter what action I take it could be construed as biased or petty.

Luke asked the same question about my comment on delivery. I hope it's ok to refer you to my response there rather than writing the same thing again.

It's cool I get it. I don't see this between us as an argument. It's a mutually respectful discourse. To me, the entire history of Bless Online is one of promising "this game will be great once we finish it, just hang in there!" until the hype and money ran out before the promises could be kept. Everytime thing's got tight, they picked up and released to a new region, and I worry this pattern is still in effect. Bless Unleashed was never really finished before being ported somewhere new. Roadmap and deadline after deadline got delayed or changed at the last minute. Not out of malice probably, but it appears very much that there are execs at Neowiz who highly overestimate what a human development team can realistically accomplish, and as a result Round8 are scrambling to get done and leaving gaps in the game and its mechanics to save time. And before they get time to fill the gaps, they get slammed with another unrealistic deadline. I find it heartbreaking to watch. When I worked as...

That's still just several people saying the same thing. There are also lots of people saying the opposite is true. Something being present in multiple medias doesn't mean no one is controlling the narrative and you shouldn't think for yourself. If you look at the established pattern by which Neowiz has operated in the last 7 years, you can see what's happening today.

I never claimed BNEA is communicating well. They're absolutely lacking. But when you consider that almost all of the information Neowiz provided for them to pass on has been inaccurate, I understand their hesitancy. When it comes to wanting the community to thrive and get their money's worth, I trust BNEA 100%. Neowiz has a long history of cold cash-grabbing, with short bursts of hype before a launch and then utter indifference shortly after.

I have a great deal of respect for Luke. He's a good guy. But his association with Neowiz potentially makes his opinion just as biased as you say mine is for being...

In no way is that confirmation. It' a supporting opinion. When you act petty or smug towards me specifically, it puts me in an awkward position, because we are in my house right now. Comments like that provoking other users usually result in a warning, or I just remove the comment to keep it from turning into a fight, or I issue a temporary ban in extreme cases. I'm proud of thiss subredit being one of the least toxic BU environments because of these things. Since you targeted me specifically, doing any of those things would appear biased. So I would like to just ask you to respect that people may disagree with you, and that people may correct you when you appear misinformed, without the need for your feelings to get hurt. This entire post is not statement of an informed opinion, it is more of a lashing out, and we have rules against that here. If slander gets out of hand, I remove it. I hope we are clear.

I see Round8 and BNEA is the good guys here, because I see Round8 doing good things and I believe you can't be a dev without having some passion for your work. BNEA is a 3rd party publisher in this setup, more of an intermediary, with Neowiz being the primary publisher that makes most of not all executive decisions that affect the direction of the game.

Sadly BNEA has no say when it comes to design decisions. I don't know if someone was asleep at the negotiating table, but BNEA definitely should have way more influence on the direction of the game than it actually does.

From my perspective Neowiz is the publisher and carries the most responsibility for success or failure across all platforms

I am. There was a communication deadzone for several months between BNEA and the PCCs. It was frustrating for all of us. I feel that is beside the point when it comes to Neowiz's persistent MO of hyping with big promises and never fully delivering. The current influx of communication between Round8 and players also perfectly fits the Bless Online profile, and it down and became very frustrating shortly after launch. I wish people would be more wary before potentially buying snake oil

Congrats!

It looks like bunleashed is down atm. Maybe buxley can shed some light but it'll probably be back very soon

Yes Bandai has confirmed it. It's definitely happening. Neowiz is contracted to keep all releases identical for all platforms. What PC gets, we get

I could link a few where I do but I'm not convinced the effort is worth the payoff

I've never participated in the official discord because it has always been moderated like a drunken pub. I play, but I had to take a break, which doesn't somehow erase all of the hours and experience I put in. A lot of my videos don't make BNEA or the game look like peaches and lollipops. I call BNEA out on their bullsh*t as much as anybody, and I refused to become a PCC until they agreed that my opinions would never be censored. I've been on the inside track watching Neowiz try to sabotage their own project while BNEA has been trying to save it for months. I'm not an authority, but I do know some things, and if I'm not sure when I make a statement, I tell you I'm guessing

I appreciate it. It's getting there^{^}

I've got a bunch of real life stuff happening. Doing my best to be active here and on discords in the meantime

Thanks ;)

Amen

I can confirm it for you now. Awakened is 100% coming to console
