Blade & Soul

Yannick wanted to try a new MMO so we looked into a couple and after asking Gabriella to join us we decided to play Blade & Soul.

It's very Asian, which we like of course, and it has some cool features. The most outstanding one is 'skywalking' which is basically... floating through the air!

My class is a Kung Fu fighter, Yannick has a blademaster and a destroyer (big, big axes) and Gabriella started out with a Force Master (something magic) but made a Blade Dancer later on.

My first screenshot is of Yannick who was standing proud on a roof. Good job.

The armor in this game doesn't really matter. They're pure for appearance.

The story is heartbreaking and the conversations have a fun extra with a 'though bubble' aside their head.

This rock split during a quest and almost gave me a heart attack.

Walking on water! Because, why not.

Some armor put you in a sort of 'guild'. It activates a sort of pvp mode where other players and npcs from opposing guilds can attack you.

Aside from skywalking there is something called dragon... something. It's basically portals but instead of boring teleporting you jump on mountains and fly through the air.

Why, hello there.

Taking a break.

It's been a really fun game so far. The skills and combo system is different than in other mmos and the skywalking is just a really enjoyable extra.
