This is why I dislike NCSoft!
They made a bit of a mess with Aion in the past, though nowadays it's been pretty alright. I guess in the end they still have to make money with a F2P model somehow...

Someone offered me a beta key last month but I turned it down since I was so busy. But now I hear B&S can be installed early?
Anyway, I want to ask:
- Dual wielding swords is a thing?
- Which classes can wield the above?
- What are the perks of Blade Master and Assassin?

B&S can be installed early but wont be open to the general public till the 19th. Head start is the 15th for those that purchased the founders packs.
1. No.
2. None.
3. Blade master is (in my opinion) the highest survivability, with good dps, and an all around easy class to use. It doesnt have alot of utility but is very easy to level due to its long block. In the new raid that will be introduced with the full release they will be more commonly used as a tank for the adds due to the ease of tanking they have.
Assassin I dont know alot about since I've never played it, but from what I've seen it has high damage and has a good amount of stealth for those interested in that sort of thing. They tend to be ridiculous in pvp due to the amount of times they can simply "dodge" attacks without much warning. In the end most classes are pretty balanced at the end while a couple tend to shine a bit more for dps.

I don't see a pause option on the installer. Does that mean I have to leave my computer on overnight? :sigh:

... Well that somewhat scarred a bit of hype.

I plan to play Destroyer, because you can perform WWE wrestling moves and smash people's face against your axe.

I've heard you can actually throw people and they have a collision hitbox.
How many servers are on B&S in the testing/overseas, or is it one giant server and the "servers" are different channels like in Guild Wars 2?

Destroyers are the support dps of the game. When they grab a boss they can keep the boss there for a good 5 or so seconds of uninterrupted dps along with activating a chi refreshing buff that allows people to spam skills with almost no consequence infinitely. Not only that, but some classes can bypass some skills activation requirements easily while the boss is being held (like kungfu master) so it can be a huge boon to some classes dps. Other than that, they have the ability to pick up a player that is in near death status and move them to a safer spot so they can replenish their chi and resurrect without dieing. I believe they can do the same thing with actual dead players and just bring them to someone who can res them but i cant remember. They also have a sort of tornado spin attack that can grab all enemies to them and allow other players to perform alot of aoes to kill tons of mobs at the same time (though other classes have this ability as well).
There was one for alpha, and like 4 for beta. They added another like 10 on release so theres plenty of diversity.

I've heard criticisms that the game stales later on. Not meaning to be negative, but if anyone has to say a con about B&S what would it be?

Not a con about blade and soul but a con about the NA localization.... Ive been in queue to log in for 2 hours now and i still have a 101 minute wait time. I spent 130$ on the founders pack and basically dont even get the head start bonus I was told I would get. If this issue isnt fixed for full release this game WILL die and I will be quitting it....
