Controls

We have introduced a new default control scheme which places attacks primarily on the RT and RB buttons. Players may change their controls in the options menu after completing the Dream Dungeon.

The new layouts are:

Layout 1 is the new default control scheme (Described above).

Layout 2 is the old default control scheme (Attack buttons mapped to the face buttons).

Layout 3 is a new control scheme that moves the X and Y attack button to the Right and Left Triggers.

We highly encourage players to experiment with all the new controller layouts and let us know which their favorite control scheme is.

Crafting

Known Issues

The localization and editing process for Bless Unleashed is still ongoing, as new text is constantly being added to the game during development. However, there are a few outstanding text issues in this open beta that we want to highlight to minimize player confusion. They are as follows:

Mazzini’s introductory blessing quest “A Collector’s Insights” tells players they can activate blessings without visiting an altar by spending Star Seeds. This is not true.

Some of the instructions for how to find the Blessing Fragments in your Blessings UI are incorrect. The correct information is as follows:

Mark of the Wolf is earned by completing the Carzacor campaign quests.

Lionheart Legacy is earned by completing the Navarra campaign quests.

Crescent Moon is earned by completing the Padana campaign quests.

Night Wind memory fragments can be found by completing Lairs and Dungeons.

Storm Chaser memory fragments can be purchased from Reputation Merchants.

Centurion’s Command is earned by completing the “Unending Conflict” campaign.

NOTE: Whenever you earn one piece of a blessing (called a memory fragment), you will now receive a quest that directs you to the locations of the other fragments.

Journals, notes, and other discoverable text is currently unlocalized.

Many speech-bubbles have unnatural line-breaks and/or disappear too fast to read, forcing players to use their chat tab if they want to read the text they missed.

Many NPCs have incorrect voice effects.

Some quests are not properly displaying the target NPC or item in the quest tracker. (This can usually be resolved by checking your quest log and reading the summary.)
