  How did you configure your controls for strafing?

  
  
  I'd like to know that too. The only thing I know I can dodge with a high success is attacks that target an area and it indicates it with a colored spot on the floor. Then I just get out of that spot. For normal attacks no matter what I do it's like the enemy is using aim hacks and hits me no matter what I do. I've had melee based enemies manage to hit me while I run past them...

  Normal attacks arent normally dodgeable, you have to use your invuln abilities or block the attack.

  Day 1: Jumped into Yehara.
  20 hours after launch: 3.5k players on queue waitlist.
  2 hours later: I crash, log back in, 3k players on queue waitlist.
  
  Bullshit. Are NCSoft trying to goad people into buying their premium services for priority queue? Are they not going to do anything to remedy this, such as removing the countless gold bot spammers?

  I see Accuracy and Evasion stats... So it's a mix of WoW and Tera style combat. Are they trying to be creative? It seems rather confusing.

  Queue times suck, luckily i'm the kind of person who doesn't mind spending 10 dollars a month to play a game i enjoy, i did it for years with runescape, tera, ....way too much on mabi, i'll gladly pay 10 dollars to skip blade and soul queues. Suck for people not working or going to school i guess, but that's life lol

  To anyone here that wants an extremely good weapon really early into the game.
  When you get to the first graveyard area with the wheel of fortune minigame and the world boss that spawns super fast 2 feet away SIT THERE AND FARM, YOU CAN GET A DISGUSTINGLY STRONG WEAPON FOR 0 COST.

  A lot of people REALLY don't understand the breakthrough weapons/equipment thing. Everytime i look at someones equipment it's always trash, or still level 1. The power difference is disgusting, and they literally give you everything you need to +10 this weapon, actually they kinda force it down your throat somewhat. World boss spawns every 2 minutes, he gives you spins, spins give you weapon fodder, they also give you the potion required to breakthrough.
  
  Don't stop the weapon at 5, do some of the quests, get the potion and rng that wheel for the weapon required for the breakthrough, it's totally worth it.
  
  It'll speed up your leveling significantly. like 5-6 hours easily past the point where i got this weapon and its still by far the best you can get.

  So far our early level doesn't give us much poisons to work with. I only have two poisons and one bleed at level 11.

  I'm still learning. Early on since enemies are squishy, we just rush in and stab them. If you want to get creative you can Landmine Setup -> Swap -> Detonate -> Shadow Dash -> Stab/Leaping Stomp. We also have a good number of evasion/counter skills, so generally we shouldn't get hit at all.
  
  However, we're also squishy. I did one solo instance around level 11 and I was steadily losing my HP as I went through because I forgot how to use my evade rotations. We're also quite lacking in our area of effect skills.
  
  I'm a little disappointed that we don't have a skill that lets us stealth out of combat, unless its hidden in the skill tree.
  
  Back on track, you haven't said your own class yet.

  Speaking of solo instances, I found a treasure chest in two but I couldn't interact with them? One was in some graveyard and another was in a gold mine.

  I like this weapon system.
  The same applies to ring/necklace/earing once your quests give them to you.
