I'm almost done downloading the game but I dont know if I will get to play it. I'm having some indigestion that made me pass on HP rush tonight, and I just read that all the servers are practically overflowing and NCSoft will be creating more in the next 48 hours. Going from 2 overflowing servers to all of them is a good start for this game. I just want to see how it runs on my PC and try some combat. I'm probably going to be a Yin Blademaster. I noticed each profession has a difficulty to master meter on the website. The Destroyer looks fun, and will be my back up in case I don't like blademaster.
EDIT: I shouldn't be up this late, but I had to play... quick notes
1. The customization is amazing for character creation
2. I'm going to have to get use to these controls... they are like GW2's action cam... attacking with the mouse buttons is awkward for me. I'm going to have to rebind all the keys when I have time. There is a gamepad option too, I might try that out as well.
3. The game is beautiful and runs well on my PC
4. I paid $5 for 7 days of premium. I waited mere seconds in queue as opposed to being #647 in line when I initially tired to join in game.
5. The combat is smooth and fast. Feels really good. Healing is based on consumables. You heal very slowly out of combat. Blade master has blocks, so I feel right at home with her.
6. Map chat is useless right now. Endless gold selling spam. These bots are taking up server space while people wait. When they put the AFC kick timer in I doubt it will help kick these bots. There probably running against a wall somewhere.
