Their circumstances are horrifying when you discover them (being turned into corrupting pillars, mutated into seeds that causes a Zombie Apocalypse) that many wants to take down the Ebondrake no matter what.

There's even a specific achievement for letting your timer run out if you died.

Achievement Mockery: Due to how achievement notifications work, you can get them in increments from 10 up to 1000 note usually the highest count, but some reach up to 5000, and it shows up on your party's combat log if in one.
Absolute Cleavage: Some outfits offer this, to the point that if the chest area is a little too open, then the women will be wearing bikini tops to make up for the exposure.

20 Bear Asses: The main quest mixes it up in places, but the side content is noted for being fairly bad about leaning heavily on this.
Blade & Soul's combat is halfway between a traditional MMO "skill bar" and a Fighting Game, encouraging you to string together increasingly-ludicrous combos and defend yourself with well-timed counter-moves. Your race determines which class you can choose from. Players can choose from four races based on The Four Gods: the human-esque Jin, the lithe Yun, the goliath Gon, and the diminutive Lyn. Cast into the sea and left for dead, you are miraculously rescued and embark on a journey for justice or revenge. When the school is suddenly attacked by a mysterious Dark Action Girl named Jinsoyun, you are betrayed by one of your own and watch your Old Master die before your eyes. You play as a student of the Hongmoon School, located on the quiet island of Heaven's Reach. The game is set in a fictional world where martial arts reign supreme, with a history ridden with conflict, greed, betrayal, demonic invasions, and martial arts legends. It was released in North America and Europe in January 2016.
