>tfw 40 year old chain smoker actually cat fish someone in.

I'm not reading all that shit, I'm guessing it's ERP faggotry, do that in guide chat, orange pig.

Will we ever recover?

Nope. I'll stay here though, even though I don't have a character over level 30.

...

its too bad you can't adjust the ankle girth

are you spending your time just crafting and what not?

is this game ded or worth getting into at this point?

Only the thread is dead, people post in their guild discords and shit.

Did discord kill the thread, Is this why none waifu posts here anymore?

I obviously spend my time making cat pngs.

poorly making cat pngs

because thats what I've been spending my time on. Fuck levelling, I need to make beer for my workers so they can gather resources and I can make furniture to make my residence look pretty.

I can't into paint

...

tfw Baka is dead

Pretty residences are nice. Bonus point for comfy.

that's because discord is shit for audio

its only use is a glorified slack replacement right now

>200 beer combines only gets me 1% exp now

>game about autism grinding
>it doesn't even feel rewarding

For what purpose? Even Diablo 3 grinding feels better than this, because at least you can get an upgrade every few hours. Instead I get a fucking chance of gaining 3 AP.

>tfw ywn hear burrito stunt

your upgrades still net you 3ap? lucky fucker

I have to grind ~40 hours for a chance at +2 at this point

Yeah, I'm usually one that enjoys autism grinding too, so I thought this game would be perfect for me. The combination of joining late and the shitty reward system just makes me want to die.

I took a one month break in may. Now they fixed witch earring drop rate. Grinding far spread monsters for days to get a chance of 2 ap. Game is fun.

Someone point me in the right direction
Says a few NA guilds are in Edan but there are like 10 different thinks to "enter"
Which one do I click, Velia, Balenos etc

(I just finished installing the game)

Theses are channels
Basically, the world is divided in instances, from which you can swap every 15 minutes

So I shouldn't worry about it because I can change it or it will change?

I put a few thousand hours into Diablo2. I've got ~800 hours in Dark Souls 1.

Pushing 1.5k hours in BDO currently.

The issue with this game's grind is that it's a double-hitter of grind + fuckyoukorean rng.

If it was just grind for a guaranteed result, it'd be just fine. If it was just rng with a shitload of drops, it'd be fine too.

But it's a ton of grind with a ton of rng involved.

I've got abandoned monastery at level 9, every shadow knight is S-rank knowledge. I've got 8 luck just in case the character sheet lies about 5 being the cap.

I've been down there for 20 hours so far this week and haven't gotten a SINGLE FUCKING MARK drop.

That's just soul crushing.

Server is the only thing that matters, you can freely swap between channels with any of your characters every 15 minutes.

I want a game that actually gets Hardcore right. Nothing gives me a fear/adrenaline boner like dropping to 5% HP in a pack of monsters, only to come out just barely on top.

>even /w*g/ is more active than this

the last game I played that felt right like that was, amusingly enough, Darkfall Online (the original, not the re-release)

terribly grindy game, and a terrible game in retrospect, but godDAMN the first ~6 months was some of the most intense MMO play I've ever experienced

I just want an MMO with the economy, industry, territory control and full-loot systems of EVE, a fantasy setting, and controls/combat mechanics like dark souls

is that really too much to ask?

How would combat mechanics like Dark Souls work in an MMO format? That game is a complete joke with more than 1 player.

by mechanics I mean moreso action/fighter mechanics

dodging, blocking, weapon arcs (no tab targeting bullshit), etc

I want combat to feel like combat, not spamming the fkeys/number keys until it's dear or I'm dead

...

You should take more picture with Jif

I have around 110 titles currently.


What's the best way to get more? I want more luck!

Jif quit.

Out of curiosity how long did it take you guys to create your first character?
There are so many parts to edit on the face...

CUTE!
Have any more?

The grind x mobs are by far the easiest and most plentiful titles to farm. Gets you some extra energy if you're missing knowledge on them, too.
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EbKiboNFg5V5zXc8tCmlCppx-cwCivt_Hf6IpWmPr6A/edit#gid=0

Default faces were quite fine, just edited like 4 parts and masked that shit up and I was good.

talking to all npcs of (type) in (region) is really easy too, and quicker than killing thousands of random fucking mobs, some of which spawn in low numbers

well, black desert isn't like that at all, it's not tab targeting, knowing your combos matter and knowing what each skill can and cannot do, animation cancels, etc, is very important

I have a lot of those done, I have balenos and serendia. Calpheon is a lot harder, and don't get me started on knowledge that you need but can only be obtained through amity except the dude you need to do the amity game with is impossible to gain amity from so the only solution is to wave at him which rapes my energy.

follow the conversation bruv, nobody was talking about Black Desert

Yeah, but how do you even make the game compelling to play past the end game in that system? The Souls games don't have any skills or attributes, so the combat gets repetitive after a while. I played the first 2 games and already got bored of the combat style. The AI is too easy to manipulate once you learn their patterns, they only have a few animations, 2-3 for melee range, 1 for medium range, and 2-3 for long range, and you can always force them to do those animations by standing at the certain ranges. For an MMO you'd need to make an insane number of animations if you wanted to do the same thing for monsters, it's just completely impracticle for something players will learn to manipulate and get bored of anyway.

Do you actually get to tame any monsters and fight with them or what?

I can carry your unfulfilled dreams for you if it makes it any better. Just put them right there in the bag with the others.

Reading this makes me feel like coming back, hope you're on Edan.

Isn't that the Sardine poster with all the other huge roid rages

Not sure, I've been gone ~a month.
If so oh well.

Sadly, no.

Anyone? I'm guessing I can't tame a horse and have it kick the shit out of goblins.

No, you only have this wolf partner you can summon.

You carry the heaviest burdens, so we don't have to

Is it time to move to another city again?

not him

Got memed by /bdog/ to go on Orwen. I've yet to have a clue what I'm fucking doing but I've more silver than I know what to do with at the very least.

What is your problem with Orwen?

I have to wonder how other people see your character 'cause their clients can't break slider limits. Most likely as a tan lanket valkyrie with no tits or ass.

Oh, that's too bad.
I played on Orwen a little the first week, it had the least memes but the guild drama on Edan was too fun to ignore.
Well surely you'll find a nice manly man, stay strong!

I restored the games default .paz files one time and it was just the regular valk with height and body type sliders set to max, I assume that's what everyone else sees. It is strange though that everytime I'm in the character select menu, it shows up at first with the default valk body.

Nothing really, but from the /bdog/ threads is just seems like people from edan are the ones who're still playing.

this game isn't fun

>there are now multiple pigposters
>they get more and more ridiculous
>the newest one is already nothing but a caricature of a human being

every time I see your character I have a laughing fit. then I realized people are actually attracted to shit like this and I vomit

She reminds me of someone famous,but I can't remember who.

>gender locks on classes
>race lock on beserker and ranger
>age lock on male wizard
Why the age lock of all things. I wanted to make my husbando wizard...

I find it to be comfy so far.

I hope you're kidding, old men are literally the most attractive.

Middle aged men > sleazy old man
I don't want a knight with wrinkles
I want a wizard In his 40s dammit

How bad is it?
I actually wanted to play as a Sorceress but sorceress isn't an """""""""""""elf"""""""""""

>I have to play an elf to have fun

Die of AIDS you dumb slut

You can make sorcs have pointy ears too if that's what you were looking for. I don't really understand.

What? I play as an elf Hunter/ranger in 99% of every MMO I've played. Been doing it since WoW not going to stop now. (Exclude FFXIV because elezen aren't cute)

I love elves don't deny them of me. I even play tabletops as elves.

It has to be a legitimate elf and the ears don't come out too great either.

If anyone has a spare guest pass I need that shit rn.
