Black Desert Online

It is nicer if you don't get stuck on things where you would have to keep doing one thing over and over so try and do different things , you will level anyway :) .

It's fine until lvl 45 or so. 45-50 is kinda grindy.

You think? I AFK fished myself to level 50 from 45 in about one week... i.e. hardly did anything. Three fishing trips = one level.
 
Game gets really grindy at 58+.

Valencia is releasing tomorrow. Anyone still playing BDO?

Valencia Part One Expansion Out

My guild, PRX, is doing well. We were one of four groups to take a region in the first round of sieges and are totally pumped for the Valencia content.

Yeah, it's good that the game offers different ways of leveing up, but fishing straight for a week is insanely grindy.

From my point of view I did hardly anything since it was AFK fishing. It would probably take one day or less to level up from 45 to 50 since the patch that made leveling faster.
 
temped to get back into this but my warrior was 34 and my sam is like 17... Kinda hesitant since legion is around the corner and im a huge PVP buff. How is the pvp in this game?

you will need to do a ton of PvE mob grinding to be PvP viable

+16 to +20 released recently so the gear gap has increased

+15 gear might be ok if you're in a small guild that is just fighting over a T1 node, but the node system is on hold at the moment for more fine tuning
 
I finally got my +15 Yuria bow :) I used some fail stacking on my grunil gloves , those for whatever reason can get me over +10 fail stacks (Gloves +8) which was pretty weird having 15 fail stacks my +13 Agerian helmet decided to proc to +14 . Had to start over ended up with 18 fail stacks and went for the bow it needed 26 stacks before it was done.
Maybe I'm lucky this way since now you can upgrade to +16 and +17 and keep it green , that is if it is true that the weapon upgrade (to yellow) bug is removed.
 
Skill Awakening system getting the revised KR version. skill resets will be free up to Lvl 55.

It depends on how you want to see this did you need this before ? IF you could play this game without needing it before you can consider it luxury more then you need it to play the game...

It's pretty hard to call an item that allows you to gain a significantly larger amount of ingame currency a luxury, when all of the best gear can be purchased from the market.

How many Relic Shards do you think you average on a 3 hour basis at that spot?

I started afk fishing instead of afk horse training since Relic Shards have gone up in price so much.

I think I average around 1-3 Relic Shards / 3 hours at a non-Gold Abundant area
 
Game has officially announced plans to introduce Pay2Win starting next week. You will be able to buy items from the cash shop and sell on the in-game markets for silver. In a game where gear is literally everything, you will be able to buy silver to buy gear.

In-game servers are filled with protests, riots etc.

Sadly, I called it early on after several sketchy p2w features kept sneaking in. People kept saying its fine, its not THAT big an advantage. It kept coming, and coming.

Personally I just do what I do and I do not care about what others do nor do I do PvP. However this potentially means that I can buy outfits without spending a single €... I think people overestimate how much money people are going to dump in this just to sell stuff on the marketplace so that they could get silver. I don't think that this will make a large difference in the end. Also if you suck as a player you suck even with decent gear.

I think most people underestimate how much whales will whale, and never played Archeage. Be prepared for some serious trainwrecks as people spend thousands a month.
 
Thousands a month...? No wonder why they would go for a P2Win format.

Literally had alliances and such in Archeage called Credit Card Alliance fueled by a few players that literally were spending thousands a month.

while I do consider the change to allow cash shop selling of items to be P2W, I'm pretty sure power is much more easily purchasable in Archeage than BDO

the highest end armor / weapon gear is still going to be gated by BDO's RNG upgrade system and some of the highest end of accessories (Ogre Ring) are more likely to be used and likely destroyed in upgrade attempts than sold on the Market Place.

the current proposal is 5 cash shop items can be sold per week. how significant this is depends on the price caps placed on the sale of cash shop items. if it potentially allows a person to get a few hundred million of silver a week, then it'll negatively affect certain parts of the game in terms of inflation, but best case scenario for the cash shop seller is that gear wise, they'll get closer in parity in comparison to a no life player. the no life player will still have higher character level & more skill points though which are important whenever weapon Awakenings are released.

anyways, this example of P2W in Archeage is not possible in BDO

 
Full armour sets go for ~19 mil. I dunno about you guys but that's doesn't sound pay2win to me... The ones who plan to use that to "win" are the ones who are getting rekted, especially since you can't dump endless amount of those item there per week.

EDIT:
Grrr... there aren't enough whales out there. I want to buy something for my ranger but they just don't sump enough sheit there.

Also sounds like they are fixing to start coming down hard on the credit card charge back warriors by denying charge backs to those without a truly legit reason. (I played for months and spent hundreds is no longer going to fly)

Dang that's only 95 million for $150. A person would have to be wacky to do that.
 
Wow Tokens, Apex, PLEX were all cheap when they came out too. It will need to be months down the road before effects are roaring through, just like in those games.

They can try to come down on the charge-backs however, Daum stated no p2w, and that nothing like what was added to the game would ever be added in, and there is video proof of it.

They will lose.
