You wouldn’t think that you could have world bosses without instancing in this modern age of MMORPGs, but Bless Online manages to have exactly that setup. The key, as explained by Steparu, is that there are a certain number of slots available for players to fight the boss, available on a first-come first-served basis. That also means that players have every reason to engage in the age-old art of killing other players to make sure that they don’t get to kill the boss, which means that you might spend as much time fighting each other as the enormous beast.
Check out a video of the boss fight, which includes more than a few sudden death mechanics clearly designed to destroy unsuspecting or suspecting-but-unready players in an eyeblink. Steparu claimed to enjoy the whole “fighting other players” aspect more than actually fighting the boss; watch below and see whether you can’t wait to fight the bosses yourself.
