Not the outfits (thankfully) but the story. Here's a recap: https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3twutd/censorship_blade_and_soul_censorship_approaching/

Are you really going to pass up a game just because it's marketing showed tits? LMAO! It would be the best MMO you ever played but you missed it because you have an issue with mammary glands. :lol:

Mech warrior online At anyrate those kind of 'fantasy' in wildstar can be explain as super science or telepathy. Those other fantasy mmo are just magic, gods or spirits which we can get from the old WOW.

Yeah, the UI for this game is teribad. And there is no changing it, you can move things around and shrink the complete UI, but it's very congested. I don't like how you can't move each individual skill queue, which lights up or changes when something procs, but you have to move the entire bar. Oh, faction chat is the worst I've ever seen. Not only gold sellers, which wasn't really there in headstart but the topics discussed. For those not familiar with it, imagine Barrens chat from WoW, Wildstar LFG when no one is doing LFG, Thayd and Illium chat, Housing chat, and gold seller spam all rolled into 1 chat.

Queues for Wildstar weren't 5 hours long. I know some are waiting 12 hours to get in to B&S. Meanwhile, the premium players are @ 1-5 minute queues. And the queue window tells you this and embelishes it in bold while in faded small text, shows non-premium members their number. Think had a few guildies in 8k another, was @ 5k.

Ha, saw that and seemed to be all about B&S. It's a fun game. Yeah, the questing system is a little outdated with alot of kill/fetch quests or go do this dungeon and beat the boss at the end. I say 90% of the quests are these. THe PVE in the game is good for what little there is. But you can get tired of it, because it comes down to dailies at the end to go kill x amount of this, turn in or go kill the big box. And dungeons. The pvp in this game is where it shines, but there is still unbalanced classes. It's close, and skill plays a big part, but there are classes that don't require as much skill and because of this, they are unbalanced. Alright skilled Destroyer player vs Good KFM player, Destroyer will win. Alright Destroyer vs SKilled KFM player, KFM will win. Like I mentioned, people will like it, but get tired of old concepts, and realize that Wildstar is just a better game. People say not alot of content for Wildstar, but after seeing what B&S has, there is so so much more to do in Wildstar than B&S. But I hope that Wildstar does adopt some things from this game. Solo player dungeons or PVE arena 1v1 and each level is a bigger and bigger boss. Be fun to do, but hard to balance. Crafting is a must in B&S, can't upgrade your top level gear without "Item A" from crafting, and some of the stuff to make item A require common ingredients, guild only ingredients and rare ingredients. I actually like this but don't like it because market can get stupidly priced and hurts poeple that don't devote time to farm for gold. But it's an interesting concept to have. So raiders would have to get a drop from DS, but also need a crafted item to "imbue" it to it's full potential. Because of this, crafting would be put back in force for Wildstar. How they do Hoomong currency (Wildstar OMnibits) is an interesting concept. You get a coin that has chance to drop out of reward bags from daily quests. You trade in this coin with something you purchase in game, and you have a random chance to get 100-150 or even higher dpeending on rarity of the "coin" you trade in, green quality get 100, purple quality get around 200 or something. Pro of it is you have a chance to get alot of hoomong with good RNG, but a con is you have to do the dailies to get the coin. They don't drop from dungeon runs or killing mobs or crafting so force you to do the dailies in the game  (I believe and what I've seen, but could be wrong about the dungeon thing).

Pretty much this. BnS excels at PvP which is the main reason to play it, not PvE or crafting or boobs. Ofc many ppl here couldn't care less about PvP since it's something not being valued by the Wildstar community (and devs, lol). Other than that, I couldn't care less for the garbage events WS has to offer. PvP failed miserably, I cleared DS, Dungeons and lower PvE content became rather boring and a no brainer with f2p and we most likely will not see a new raid tier with drop 7. I'm no big housing fan either. So yea, I'm enjoying my time at BnS and will only come back to WS to clear the new raid just to leave right after again.

Didn't uninstall, but for real man....almost two freaking hours just to get INTO a game? This one has "don't ask why, just buy signature membership and all your worries will disappear" all over it. This must be their idea of a quest: "Survive the non-preferred login queue." Seriously, I could write a crappy fanfic in the time it takes me to actually log in.

If investment is driving your motivation to play a game, I think there's a problem... :P

Hey, who are you to judge other people's life priorities? To some people, MMO is their life. Without it, they're not whole; without it, their lives turn upside down. Their entire emotional well-bring hinges on whether MMO of choice remains in tact, welcoming them daily with warm embrace login rewards. I'm surprise Weird Al or Tenacious D haven't wrote a song about MMO players yet.

That's me and every Korean/Asian/Asian-Inspired MMO, that I've ever played. Lots of good visuals/detail on the surface, but covering a soul-less and hollow feeling game, when you actually play it. The world and moreso every character I run in to, feels like a cliched, near-robotic, and poorly-written empty shell. One that's draped in ridiculously hyper-detailed, and incredibly intricate armor designs, as a means to offset their lack of personal depth. Also, "co-sign" on the animations, and "double co-sign" on the lack of housing.

And a secondary question: do they care about it so much that they absolutely will not play anything other than their preferred setting? I find high fantasy settings to be terribly overdone. They bore me. But not so much that I won't give them a try if there's good reviews of the game or something different about them. There's really not a lot of Western games that do Wuxia-themed fantasy, so BnS doesn't trigger that kind of "Arrrrgh not more wizards and dragons" response in me to nearly the same degree that a game like Rift or LotRO did.

Sounds like a good way to grief people, more than anything else. Making you able to deny and steal loot from newer and casual players just from being a veteran player with some money and a bad attitude. "You don't deserve this loot so I'm gonna take it and sell it to a vendor!" or "Haha that thing you really wanted dropped but I'm gonna take it and destroy it and you can't stop me lolololol" Anyway I don't like korean games so I'm not even gonna try it.

Me. I've been playing D&D and reading fantasy books for oh 3 or 4 decades. I've gotten to the point where fantasy settings just feel so hand-wavey. How does X work? uh... uh... Maaaaaagic. That's pretty much the main reason among others. Yes, WS's primal element meta-physics drives me insane. Would I -absolutely- refuse to play a game because of it? In theory no. In practice that game would have to be one to put all others of its genre to shame. Effectively that's a yes. But like you said, fantasy is overdone. Sci-fi and and (sometimes) sci-fantasy is different enough to make people come take a look.

I played neverwinter before (high fantasy). There is something wonderful about the rich, deep setting of Toril, but there is a really tiring trend of "Evil wizard makes monster" kind of theme too. I would say - i love the world but the villians were too cliche. BnS - the storyline is not really conventional (which i love) and I have a huge hunger for a wuxia game. There are so many wonderful movies and novels in that genere and chinese culture is so refreshing from another LotR clone.
