Rocky Road to… Bless
Last Monday the Bless Online Advanced Access (for Founder’s Packs owners) went live and on Wednesday the actual Early Access has started on Steam, too. And… unfortunately, both of the launches were rocky. Very rocky in fact. Of course, the problems have started when massive amounts of players tried to log in, create characters and play, all at the same time. Things didn’t go much better when Bless Early Access didn’t start out as intended either, because the base game was locked for buying on Steam for a while. But, most of these things – disconnections, server crashes and restarts were to expect and people who are getting mad because of them aren’t entirely right in my opinion. What is true though, Neowiz tried to handle the problems in an unusual way. New servers were added, yes, but also some of the already existing ones were (temporarily) closed for creating new characters, so…

Bless taming feature & Founder’s Packs trailer
Bless Early Access and Advanced Access are almost here and as many players are eagerly waiting for the launch – the game’s devs gave us some small updates and reminders of what we will see in the game. The first official news update we got this week was a blog post about taming feature. The official post isn’t very informative in my opinion but I guess since the launch is very close – everyone will learn the details “in action”. Even so – I think that if we actually got an update about this matter then it should contain all the important details about it, not just general informations. Anyway, in Bless we will be able to tame most of the creatures in all the zones. The taming feature will give us a chance to turn those creatures either into mounts or into pets (which will not only be cosmetic companions but…

Acrylic painting: Wolf (WIP #03 + finished version)
Another interesting week has passed. Where did all the days go? I swear the last thing I remember is maybe Tuesday? And suddenly BAM! It’s Saturday. But I guess I haven’t just skipped the week because apparently not only I’ve been seen at work but I also finished the wolf painting! It took some work but it’s been a lot of fun too. Also I managed to finished it just in time to gift the painting to my mum for Mother’s Day. Part 1 | Part 2 Unfortunately the last Work In Progress photo didn’t save nicely so below is the finished painting.

Bless Q&A and an open letter to the Community
How is it possible it’s Sunday already? Where did the rest of the week go? Hey everyone, it’s been a pretty nice week for me, what about you? I still can’t really find my place after I finished playing Mass Effect Andromeda (and watching Gotham) but the developers never sleep… or do they? Not long ago we got announcements of Bless Emissaries, the game prices and… existence of a subscription in the game. This week Neowiz has shown again that they not only monitor the community’s reactions for the announcements but they also listen to the players’ voice. During the passing week Bless developer posted two important updates on the internet. The first one was a “Q&A” post that addressed many game-related questions and issues that last updates and press conference brought. The Questions and answers that I personally found the most interesting are below. Q: How does pricing work…

Finished ME:Andromeda
Last night I finished Mass Effect Andromeda and I have to say – it was quite an adventure! I had several months of a break from this game and I’m not sure why, to be honest. Those several months ago when I was playing it last time I really enjoyed it, so I guess something made me drop the game for a while or maybe I’ve had enough of it for that time because I overdosed it and just needed a break. But, several things reminded me of Andromeda recently. First I watched Lost in Space, a Netflix show about a, well, space travelling family discovering new planets. Then I got to try out Defiance 2050 beta and I really liked it but I realized it strongly reminded me of Andromeda. And after the beta ended I wanted to play Andromeda more and more and finally I opened the game…
