Welcome back to the Blue Protocol Database! Several hours ago the developers of Blue Protocol held their third and last YouTube livestream. That means we here at the Database are bringing you the highlights of the stream and primarily focusing on new information. Without further delay, lets get into it.

CLOSED BETA APPLICATIONS

The deadline for the CBT is fast approaching. The developers want you to hurry up and apply! Though the CBT is still only open to residents of Japan. Lucky for you we’ve got your back! Check out our guides on how to apply to the CBT as well as how to create a Japanese BANDAI NAMCO ID.

NEW INFORMATION

Dragon’s Claw Dungeon Preview

We start this livestream summary with a quick presentation of the new dungeon available during the closed beta: Dragon’s Claw. From what we can see, the monsters start with at a low level and continue to level up to exceed that of the group as the group progresses through the dungeon.

Beginning of the dungeon [16:53] – End of the Dungeon [28:26]

Monster Level at the beginning of the dungeon : 9

Team Level : 20

Monster Level before the death of the team : 34

Arena Preview (Party VS Party)

A new concept put forward by the developers is the Arena mode (previously hinted at as PvP, which means “party versus party” and not “player versus player” as we had originally thought). The arena is a PvE mode where waves of monsters appear and you must kill them all before the time runs out to win. This mode requires a large group with organization to successfully manage the waves of monsters. Since the developers were only 3 in the group, the Arena was quite simple. However, the larger the group that you bring into the Arena, the more difficult the Arena will be.

When you finish the Arena you will receive GC Currency, L Currency, and Experience.

R: the Party VS Party system is accessible to all players and also to players who have a great experience in BP. You can either go there with your already predefined group or search for a group. The difficulty depends on your group, there is a big difference between a level 20 and level 30 group. If you are at a higher level, you can easily take monsters all by yourself. Level sync? Don’t impact your stats.
