I just recently ended up buying the game, and while I like what I'm seeing thus far, the cash shop prices are outrageous. Since I'm obviously not going to have a whole lot of inventory space for a long, long time, what tips would you give a newbie?
Christian Reyes
seconding this
Charles Johnson
I love the merv pallet, kinda gay you have to buy it monthly
if you just mean protips about space
contribution points can be spent on storage, and you can get your contribution points back if you move to another town or something
buying a wagon is good if you think you are going to run out of room in your inventory a lot too, they can hold quite a few items depending on which one you get
Aaron Hernandez
After reading up a bit, it looks like I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that I'm going to run out of space a lot.
I don't suppose there is anything like a bank to stash stuff, is there?
Oliver Rodriguez
each town has its own "storage" which you can expand by using contribution points, and buying houses in the town and making them into storage places for more space
I'm at around 100spaces for heidel right now
Samuel Peterson
Yeah, I just found my first one. Is the storage shared by all towns, or is it unique to each town?
Also this game is damn pretty.
Camden Evans
unique to each town
and yea i agree
John Reyes
So, I seem to be racking up levels like Zubats in a cave. Are levels stupid and useless? It seems skill points are much more valuable.
Luke Perry
yea you cap out at level 50 and 55 when it gets around 10x harder to level up for each cap
skill points are really valuable since you get your powerful skills from using them
Robert Collins
dead as fuck shit game general
Ryan Hughes
...
Jackson Flores
Aw shit though, anybody else keeping up with the salt with the Veritas / Meerkat alliance drama? Some no-guild was able to snipe Balenos because of it. Would love to hear from the inside if anyone here is in those guilds.
Lincoln Clark
game is shit, why haven't you quit?
William Cook
Because it's fun, user.
Charles Martin
because I hate myself and I love getting cucked
Landon Hughes
You found meeee! Is this a sleepless night in heiiidel?
Jackson Perez
So what is the highest level of horse that can be tamed in the wild? The highest I've found was a tier 4 south of Heidel..
Nolan Collins
5
Sebastian Flores
>90% of horses i come across are tier 1
It's ok to kill them, right?
Lucas Turner
Yes
Connor Myers
When will Kunoichi actually get some costumes?
Joseph Bennett
Quitar or estique shuriken for kunoichi? Have full grunil as armor
Thomas Turner
This week
Tyler Perez
Beep boop ~
Anthony Mitchell
also wheres a good place to level at 50 with these stats?
David Edwards
it doesnt take very long to do the bag space quests which get you to like 52 slots or so which is plenty (at least for me).
Isaac Price
still alive
Alexander Phillips
No waifu no thread.
Lincoln Cooper
Sleep tight bdog
Levi Wood
You're supposed to wake up, /bdog/.

Daniel Phillips
Chocolate ninjas are best ninjas.
Liam Mitchell
Obligatory post complaining about shit netcode, fucking new netcode or east US servers when?
Asher Adams
you confused chocolate with ganguro.
Connor Sanders
Worth playing or ded game?
Zachary Cook
Absolutely worth playing, but deader than dead general
Brandon Ortiz
I looked for this general for a few nights in a row. It wasn't ever up. Thought it died off. I picked up the game again because ninja came out. Wanted to shitpost with you all again.
I'm the pink hair ranger. Remember me? On phone right now so no images.
Henry Garcia
Just do the Kunoichi and start with a clean reputation again.
Kayden Roberts
>literally who Don't bother. The thread won't survive the night.
Hudson Ross
Why? I was loved by everyone.
Jeremiah Fisher
Nobody was loved 100% here.
Lucas Lewis
It's the lantern light, it makes her look orange.
Because clearly, that's what lanterns do to people.
Charles Clark
Very much worth playing, I'm having a blast.
Nowhere near dead. See Wildstar for an example of a dead game.
Michael Young

Did anyone not explore the Purity node yet? I just activated it and unknowingly skipped through the text.

Sebastian Cox
let this pay2win garbage retard grindfest die
sage
Parker Kelly
why did the game lose so many players? This general used to be decently active
Aaron Allen
We are not many different posters here and there is a lot of people that dislike each other. So everyone is pretty much hanging out with each other somewhere else with their guilds.
Kevin Gonzalez
pay 2 win shit added class balance being fucked because no awakenings lying about forcing to +18 everyone learned node wars are just zerg fests rng too much to handle no cute costumes ever boring events required 8 hour a day grind to stay semi competitive open world pvp essentially getting removed shitty carebear community
there are lots of reasons, and for me the reasons to quit outweighed the reasons to stay
Adam Gutierrez
this +
Game slowly became less of a pvp game and more of a pve grind game to the point where it wasnt worth it as a pvp player to continue putting in the work needed to compete just so you can kill people every once in a while. Devs kept listening to shitter carebears who hated pvp and making decisions based on them
There are other pvp games I can play that require less nofun autistic time commitment and provide more of a level and fair playing field instead of putting in absurd hours just so i can seal club retards who dont stand a chance against my nolife gear
Alexander Thompson
And too many waifus kills it for days.
Landon Jenkins
unfortunately carebears outnumber pvp players which is why every pvp mmo except eve is dead or became a pve mmo
Hudson Diaz
D E A D
G A M E
Chase Moore
BDO wasn't a "pvp mmo". The game had to be made into one for NA because people wanted archeage
Nathaniel Ramirez
the game is/was literally based around open world pvp, guild wars, and node wars
like pvp is the end game content for most people
Henry Jackson
I remember the first week of release. 2 anons wanted to do Gluttony RP by using a fuckton of appearance coupons to change size every time they had 'dinner'.
Good times.
Ethan Brown
Nodewar and Castle siege is. And as you have noticed it's on specific channels only. PA wanted PK to be more like actual murders. They mentioned a few time they wanted people to think carefully before assaulting other players. This is why it cost 200k karma in the original game. This is also why you can lose item if someone kills you as a criminal. In Valencia 2 they made PKing a little less harsh when you're in the sandy desert. GvG is rather new. Like not even a year in Korea. They removed exp loss from PK before GVG was even something in this game. At first it was like 10m to declare a war. Then they changed it to 3m declare cost with a 300k per 2 hour fee.
Owen Foster
but if you murder someone they usually die in this game they just pop back up in a minute
Gavin Hill
that's a huge jaw
Henry Gonzalez
>make a ninja >not even finished with the tutorial and I already have too many moves to remember fug
Blake Murphy
Perspective.
Also sorceresses in general.
Jose Hughes
could still have the mouth lowered a bit tho
Jason Ross
Any good guilds one Jordine that's not dead or an ERP guild?
Bentley Mitchell
Join gevlon's guild :^)
Luis Ward
Is there something I can heat for mythril
Mason Butler
Does the typing indicator only appear over people's heads if it's gonna be a message you can read?
Dylan Williams
Also the only profit of PK is the chance of getting to grind alone for a while. Which means you gamble exp and crystals for absolutely nothing.
Fuck rangers.
Jonathan Cruz
for like 2 minutes at best if they dont want to add the backwards progression on getting pk then force them to respawn in town if no one resurrects them
Gavin Brooks
>Getting towned at Kuit. Good luck justifying that to casual scrubs.
Adrian Cooper
>gevlon Who?
Robert Reed
I'm a new player, no real bias towards the game, but.
This "dead game" nonsense isn't true. I always have 1-2 people on my mini-map. Every town I've been to has had a handful of people in it.
Compare that to Aion, Wildstar, and even GW2 - I never run into other people while playing those games. Everyone in GW is either on their way to a world boss or just hangs out in Lion's Arch all day.
Christopher Cox
no it doesnt?
also your waifu looks garbage
Zachary Brown
lmao it looks like someone shit in your hair and you couldn't wash it out
Leo Hall
Should I just shove all my money into black spirit until he throws up TRIverto? I have pri armor and plain accesories.
Bentley Rivera
>Aion >I never run into other people while playing those games I bet you play Asmodian.
Also there's almost no new players. Everyone and their mother is in Endgame territories and capitals.
Oliver Young
Go gathering until you hit artisan and then punch that black penis-worm in it's teeth with all the shards you have.
Also never enchant to +15, buy it.
Kayden Lewis
>tfw bought a +14 liverto >already had 25 failstacks >try blackstone >+15 first try
Nicholas Russell
If you don't add details on what you think that looks wrong I can't change it.
Going to try that later then.
Ryder Walker
like i want to give some faggot advice on his ugly "waifu", kill yourself
Aiden James
>Fail 16 times at +9 starting at 15 FS.
Kill yourself
Jordan Cook
I already said your hair looks like someone shit in it, just look how mangly the ends look
>purple hair >ever just stop
inb4 you have some special snowflake reason why she looks like a crack addict
Jeremiah Torres
you shouldnt care what others think, people will always point out the flaws but not what they like about a character
also people just like to troll to make people think their character is ugly, when its personal preference
Jacob Russell
Here's a good point: You managed to not completely blind your character with that eyepatch and emo hair combination that I see daily.
I hope you find your sasukesniper69.
Lucas Flores
What's the best spot to grind for silver?
Ethan Rodriguez
Silver mine
Chase Nelson
There's nothing wrong with pointing out flaws and if you post your character here then you should welcome it. I'll take constructive criticism over praise any day because it's actually useful.
Oliver Parker
EU waifus>NA waifus
James Reed
It's not purple. If the hair is looking like shit because of the mangly ends, its fine since is as intended. So the garbage looks you are talking about it's not a problem.
>people will always point out the flaws but not what they like about a character
Well that is what I expect so I can see what I should change or not. People like to troll (Nice try kids) but if they don't details what they are disliking its usually an obvious troll.
Ayden Moore
>It's intended to look like garbage. So you just can't do any better.
Caleb Taylor
One man's trash etc
Isaiah Lee
>Literal garbage looks good to anyone.
Listen to yourself.
Benjamin Edwards
Please show a picture of your beautiful waifu yourself before bullying others.
Adam Rodriguez
Nice try kid
Noah Collins
At least it's not the shitty raised hair one.
Kayden Stewart
hey guys i wanna try this game before i buy it anyone have one of those 7 days passes they're willing to give me?
