Black Desert Online

I got a system message that my level 55 was too low a level to get loot from Kazarka. To try again after I gain some levels. I haven't logged in since.
 
Did everyone get their Red Nose armor? Can't wait for my second chance at more Red Nose armor!
Attendance Reward Box

Greetings adventurers,

We have investigated the reports of users having received only a single item type from the Attendance Reward 'Boss Armor Box'. At this time it appears the item is not functioning as intended, we are taking the necessary steps to correct this issue. Players that received one of the defective boxes will be issued a new fixed version at the end of the event.

Please note you will only receive the second box if you had already claimed the defective attendance reward by the end of the event, in addition to this we will not be removing any of the rewards earned by the original box. Please note that you must claim and open the original box prior to November 2nd or it will disappear.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and thank you for understanding

 
Yep, got mine. Gonna stash it for now and probably sell it after prices go up again.
 
If I had the time would like to try this game out but I'm afraid of seizures.
and eyestrain not many AAA MMOs in the pipeline.

He can recommend whatever he wants. The amount of value you get for 9,99 € is massive and definitely it's worth it.
 
I managed to catch really weird tier 1 horse... At first I though I'll just sell it but obviously no one was interested in paying ~500K for T1 horse so I guess I'll just train it to lvl 30 and breed. It seems to have lots of stamina and it's much faster than and manoeuvrable that the usual T1 horses.

just be aware that if your primary interest is PvP, you will need to mob grind a ton of hours to become PvP viable

PvP viable = upgraded gear, high character level, large # of skill points
 
meh. I logged in for like 20 min, felt overwhelmed and logged out :|

You can also do passive things like level up and discover stuff in the game while questing. Getting knowledge on mobs gives points that you can use to create a worker army gathering resources for you. Create items or just sell the resources on the auction house.

Also you can sell a few items like Black stones when you first start the game to get the big boat for 2.3 million or so. Then stick your character out in the middle of the ocean AFK fishing for hours with the game running in the background. You can make a ton of money from the relics and fish sales. You can even stack the dried fish in the boat storage if you like.

After you get the boat I would keep my black stones. ;)
 
The game is a beast. I would agree that there's almost TOO much to do.
 
D-Wiz said:
True, do not play this game if you are OCD/ a completionist. My ADD acts up so much playing this game. Its like Step 1) go to storage. Step 2) get...ooooh shiny... Step????

But really, play it how you want is my favorite suggestion to people. There is no goal, do as you want, it's a world not a themepark.

Yeah.. that was my biggest issue. I completely burned out after a week of trying to do it all. I'll admit it's more my issue than the games, but man o man. Just don't go there if you have that OCD streak.
 
I pretty much stopped following this MMO in the last few months. Last time I was reading about it, there were some issues with a number of players taking advantage of the lack of server authoritative architecture to use all kind of speed and cooldown cheats. Hopefully that got fixed now. Also if anyone has watched a good / recent large-scale PvP battle video (let's say 100+ players) on Youtube I'd be interested to know about it!

They banned the PVP cheaters. They even banned the life skill cheaters. With every game that has PVP there is going to be a person who cheats. The fact that they actually banned them is refreshing.

I tried some of the siege warfare and my gear was too low level to survive. Here is something similar to what I did, but when I ran in I was instagibbed due to crap gear. :) Just youtube some siege warfare in BDO.

I haven't played in a month or more. I suck at RNG enchanting. To grind very slowly and tediously wearing craptastic gear, save up 40 million by fishing, and blow it without seeing gains just killed the joy of the game for me.

That's why I buy my shit and honestly. It's possible to get 10-20 million with fishing per day quite easily. Then all the daily freebies and you can get TRI liverto or TRI awakening weapon pretty quickly. I don't need the best gear so I'll settle with TRI non-boss gear for now.

Also managed to snipe awakening outfit for my kunoichi... Looks pretty stupid but kinda cute. Got lucky with my horse: Tier 6, currently lvl ten and it has sprint and two seater.

My kunoichi and the reason I love triple float rod.

I heard that they increased fishing gains (money). I needed a break from the game anyways. ;)

I really wish I had been able to get into this game. It's got more styles for eyes than FFXIV has classes...

May try it again one of these days. Loved what I saw of it, but it just didn't click with me (odd for an MMO).

Plus it would give these Titans something to actually work a little at. :p

Noticed they still don't have a normal 14 day trial, just the 7 day guest keys? Not sure even I could spend enough time in a week with work to really get a feel for it again.

Still tempted though.... :)
