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

William Evans

Grayson Johnson
Only the thread is dead, people post in their guild discords and shit.
Benjamin Johnson
Did discord kill the thread, Is this why none waifu posts here anymore?
Carter Johnson
I obviously spend my time making cat pngs.
Hunter Peterson
poorly making cat pngs
Anthony Hernandez

>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.
Brayden Martinez
>tfw ywn hear burrito stunt
Brayden Lewis
your upgrades still net you 3ap? lucky fucker
I have to grind ~40 hours for a chance at +2 at this point
Landon Bennett
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.
Owen Fisher
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.
Gabriel Ortiz
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)
Aaron Lee
Theses are channels Basically, the world is divided in instances, from which you can swap every 15 minutes
Henry Clark
So I shouldn't worry about it because I can change it or it will change?
Noah Bailey
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.
Benjamin Martinez
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.
Tyler Martin
>even /w*g/ is more active than this
Ayden Cruz
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
Zachary Thomas
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?
William Morris
How would combat mechanics like Dark Souls work in an MMO format? That game is a complete joke with more than 1 player.
Jeremiah Wood
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
Isaac Reyes

Kevin Butler
You should take more picture with Jif
Eli Powell
I have around 110 titles currently.
What's the best way to get more? I want more luck!
Robert Johnson
Jif quit.
Joseph Murphy
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...
Default faces were quite fine, just edited like 4 parts and masked that shit up and I was good.
Levi Robinson
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
Brayden Diaz
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
Ian Morales
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.
Cameron Clark
follow the conversation bruv, nobody was talking about Black Desert
Wyatt Williams
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.

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.
Liam Lopez
What is your problem with Orwen?
Charles Morgan
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.
Joseph Brooks
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!
Mason Kelly
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.
Jaxson Wood
this game isn't fun
Matthew Powell
>there are now multiple pigposters >they get more and more ridiculous >the newest one is already nothing but a caricature of a human being
Gabriel James
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
Jonathan Martin
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.
Jayden Sanchez
I hope you're kidding, old men are literally the most attractive.
Chase Hernandez
Middle aged men > sleazy old man I don't want a knight with wrinkles I want a wizard In his 40s dammit
Hunter Foster
How bad is it? I actually wanted to play as a Sorceress but sorceress isn't an """""""""""""elf"""""""""""
Dominic Price
>I have to play an elf to have fun
Die of AIDS you dumb slut
Hudson Ward
You can make sorcs have pointy ears too if that's what you were looking for. I don't really understand.
Josiah Wilson
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.
Ayden Morales
It has to be a legitimate elf and the ears don't come out too great either.
Eli Sanders
If anyone has a spare guest pass I need that shit rn.
