I felt just as optimistic going into this game but upon playing for a certain period of time i realized it wasn't for me. I could be wrong but I didn't like the gear setup, I like games where you'll find specific pieces for weapon, boots, pants, shirt, gloves etc. With B&S its just one item (wardrobe) and from what i remember it didn't even give you stats.
There are a loooooooot of costumes but true, it's only main clothing, head, face that can be "customized".Also you can transmute stuff. But thats all purely cosmetic/ optic. The gear stats (soulshieds) have to be found,combined, fusioned and all that stuff.

There is definitely a lot of skill to it but I guess I'm not really the solo 1v1 kind of person any more. You can play this casual or hardcore, main difference beeing time/money invested. Thing is, if you are a casual: - Don't expect to be walking around in the best gear a week after release - Don't expect to do the hardest dungeons right of the bat - Don't expect to be the PvP Master.... this takes training, a lot of training. You don't play Grandmaster league in SC2 from playing 1hour a day, do you? The whining in this game is just too damn high, official forum is full of this ^^ Oh forgot: Yes there are bots but they make stuff cheaper so i like it ^^ Perfomance is a real issue, game/ graphic optimization is not done very well
Oh yes, I'm very much agreeing that the pvp has a very high skill ceiling and I didn't expect to get any where near it as a casual. That said the experience of a casual in pvp is atrocious. I remember counting the number of matches that I faced bots in and it was about 40%. That's not at all fun.

I'm guessing you play on NA?
In EU there are far less bots. I'm on my way too Plat right now and i have faced maybe 10% bots.
One thing maybe worth mentioning is: There almost no open world PvP right now. Most of the time one faction is just owning the other so hard that there is no fight.
AFAIK, in Korea/ Japan/... the have introduced some 3v3/ 6v6 battlegrounds, which could be really fun. specially for casuals with 1v1 anxiety ^^

I'm on EU. It also isn't so much 1v1 anxiety but more of preferring to play more social things.

Hmm.. maybe it's a time thing then. I often play on "rush hour" after work. Guessing there are just more players online, giving me less bots, dunno.
Also bots are like free Beans -> Free Soulstones, at least for me since Destroyer are pretty much the easiest match up for FMs so i don't care much.
I mean ofc it's bad with the bots but i have never seen a F2P MMO without Bots/ Multi Boxing/...

Yes, but at least in other MMOs such as WoW it's usually in battlegrounds that don't matter and not in the highly competitive arena. Nor do the bots actually hack and bend the rules of the game, which they very much do in BnS.

Ye the hacks end exploits is something else entirely. And not restricted to bots i might add.
But to be fair, at least those are getting fixed by NC or looked at.
And with the new Zone, they did some countermeasures for bots:
- Soulstones from arena cannot be bought anymore due to lack of dragon certificates (former blue dungeon)
- New dungeon have some anti-botting in place, like specific jumps/ levers/ doors and stuff and also more "instanced doors/ portals"
Thats why they try to get SS now from the PvP dailys

Anyone still playing?
I just wanted to say that i've given up on this for now. Got boring pretty quickly IMO.
I don't mind the grind and all but ... dunno. Why play if it's no fun right?
Maybe I'll come back, maybe i don't
