Instead of PvP being an acronym for Player vs Player, in Blue Protocol it stands for Party vs Party.
There will be PvP in-game but not in the form you’re used to. Other than dungeons and raids, players will be able to take Missions, which act more or less like Quests with greater rewards and more difficult content. Raids will be 20-players in size, however according to the team it’s possible they’ll increase this up to 30-players if the community wants it badly enough. It’s also unconfirmed if raids will function in more or less the same way. I’m uncertain of how damage will scale both from and towards monsters but it’s an interesting take. Speaking of dungeons, instead of dungeons functioning like they do traditionally: All monsters being within a level or two of one another, instead, Blue Protocol’s dungeons are going to scale throughout meaning that a dungeon might begin with monsters at level 10 but end with monsters at level 30. Unless you count the dungeon footage that they showcased in the livestream last month. I feel like this was necessary, as there really isn’t a whole lot of gameplay – well, there isn’t any gameplay footage captured after the Closed Alpha test last year.
Over the last couple weeks the Blue Protocol team have been slowly releasing class-trailers, showcasing various skills and general gameplay for the Aegis Fighter, Twin Striker, Blast Archer and finally the Spell Caster. The game will become available for pre-download on April 20th, and after the Closed Beta period ends on the 26th, there will be another questionnaire for players to fill out. The Closed Beta test will take place on April 23rd and will last through until April 26th. If the text is red, then you were accepted into this phase of the Beta test. If the text is orange, like mine is, then you applied but weren’t accepted. However, if you’re waiting to see if you got into the Closed Beta – then if you log into the official Blue Protocol website it’ll show at the top right of the webpage whether you got accepted or not. Supposedly, emails were sent out or at the very least would continue to be sent out over the course of a several day period. On March 30th Bandai Namco announced they had confirmed all players who were chosen to receive Closed Beta keys. Let’s start this off by talking about the Closed Beta, since right now you’re all more interested in that than anything else.
