I'm tempted but I don't know if I want to spend that cash only to dislike it in BETA... I am pretty sure I will enjoy Blade and Soul, but I am more looking forward to Black Desert...decisions decisions....

I too am looking forward to open beta as this will be the first time trying out Blade and Soul. Taking the day off work as I plan on spending most of day one just creating my character just right then diving into the UI and see if I can bend it to my liking. I am happy to see in the live stream that the NA version will have game pad support!

I didn't get the email yet for the client download so with a ridiculous amount of digging I finally found the link on an official BnS page:
page:
https://support.bladeandsoul.com/hc/en-us
direct dl link:
http://cbt.patcher.bladeandsoul.com/BnS ... taller.exe
Note: you must have a valid account that is active for the CBT's (e.g. founders account) to get the launcher to start downloading the client. Looks like 12.4 gigs and good download speed (7MB/s for me right now).
