Bless Online Goes Offline September 9
Among the splendor of the E3 game reveals, Neowiz has announced that Bless Online will be shutting down in the west as of September 9. The title launched into early access on Steam one year ago in June 2018 to a respectable peak of 28,000 players but players very quickly jumped ship due to a number of issues ranging from prevalent botting to balance problems and performance on even the best of gaming PCs. By the following month, the peak count had dropped by 80% and it never quite recovered.
To send the game off, Neowiz is launching a bonus experience event starting June 10th and running until sunset time for those of you who want to grind out some Steam achievements before the servers go offline forever.
Starting after server maintenance on June 10th, 2019 and until September 8th, 2019 23:59 Dungeons wants to be removed, and the Dungeon drop rates will be increased. Players want to see a 100% increase in Gathering / Mining EXP, Guild EXP, Dungeon Points, and Combat Points. Gathering, Mining, and Crafting speeds will be increased by 50%.
Despite Bless failing in virtually every territory it has launched in, Neowiz plans on releasing a version on the Xbox One under the name Bless Unleashed.

Bless Online Promises To Fix Unpopular Balance Changes
Ask gamers what they want out of an MMO and “make me less powerful and the enemies more powerful” is probably not going to be high on the list. So when Bless Online developer Neowiz decided to slash player power across the board, those players were understandably annoyed. With waves of negative reactions to the patch coming in, Neowiz has again found themselves apologizing and promising to make things right.
In a post on the Steam discussions, Neowiz promised a patch early this week to address the following core issues:
- Decreasing ability (HP or defense) of monsters from the field and low-level dungeons. Adjustments will be determined by leveling area and monster level.
- Increasing Chain Bonus values. The more skills you connect, the higher the damage you will do. This will make up for the decreased DPS.
Direct damage increases and skill cooldown and resource adjustment will be worked on afterward.
Bless Online Is A Mess Online; Neowiz Apologizes, Compensates Players
Bless Online launched into early access this week and the launch was a bit of a mess. Between server lag, outages, maintenance, and the existence of a rather treacherous item dupe exploit, players were up in arms with some demanding refunds for their founder’s pack purchases.
In response, Neowiz posted an apology, promising fixes and outlining plans for the weeks ahead. Since the game initially launched with just a few servers, more servers have been added and much of the lag seems to have subsided.
Bless Online’s Early Access was always intended to be a growing experience, with systems and content being added in the weeks and months ahead; this is why we chose the Steam Early Access program. We are sincerely sorry that our players were led to believe otherwise, and we are happy to allow refunds for those who feel they cannot wait for the new content to arrive. We hope that you will return to the world of Bless when the features you expect are in the game and ready for your participation.
As part of its compensation, Neowiz has granted accounts approximately $20 in Lumena, the game’s premium currency.

PSA: Only The Basic Bless Online Pack Is Eligible For Refund
Bless Online launches its head start into Early Access right now, and those of you interested in taking part can do so via one of three early access packs. Available for $40, for $70, and for $150, these early access packs grant various goodies for your in-game characters.
It should be noted, however, that of the three packs only one is refundable should you decide that the game is just not up to snuff within two hours of gameplay or two weeks of purchase, whichever comes first. The $70 and $150 packs are listed on Steam as not eligible for refund. It appears that this is linked to the founders packs constituting DLC, which Valve tends to be more restrictive of when it comes to refunds.
Those of you not too certain on your purchase may want to spring for the cheapest option, or simply wait it out as launch issues are dealt with. Launch issues with crashes and server overload may result in your game time going over the normal refundable period.
