Black Desert Online is an MMORPG by Pearl Abyss that was recently released for western audiences, with additional changes. It's a sandbox MMORPG that features action-oriented combat, open world PVP territory control, trading, player housing, and more.
I've been meaning to try BDO, but haven't had the cash to pick it up. Opinions?
> Is it worth buying? > Is it worth buying the explorer's package?
Anthony Ward
you should get a 7 day key from somewhere to try it out first, I would definitely recommend trying it since its a breath of fresh air for the MMO scene
explorers package is def worth now that its been buffed
Adam Rivera
Where would you recommend I search for a key?
Jace Rivera
I think I google searched something like "black desert trial keys" and found one
if not you can always try begging on reddit or the thread
Robert Rivera
Thanks for the advice. I found one pretty quickly.
Eli Morales
If there's something I can tell you, it's that it's indigo
Jordan Morales
I can't bring myself to join any guild. How much am I missing?
>just play an even deader game with less than 1000 active players daily!
Oliver Diaz

Bentley Richardson
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS INDIGO MEME furthermore, where are all the roleplay guilds on eu?
Caleb Gomez
>WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS INDIGO MEME It's indigo
Michael Harris

Tyler Richardson
Serendia 1-2 are the roleplay channels.
Leo Barnes
Kuno is GREAT
Logan Wright
Ninja is better
Andrew Carter
Can't be bothered leveling mine.
Colton Morgan
I rushed a sorc and a witch to 50 and now they're just energy mules. Gonna take my time with kuno and do quests and stuff.
Ryan Morales

Jackson Hughes
He's checking out that delicious Indigo
Jordan Brooks
So Musa or Ninja?
Pretty much a giant turbocasual so I'll never be in the top 1%, closer to the average/slightly below.
Just looking for a fun time smacking people and preferably looking cool while doing it.
Isaiah Sanchez
Ninja is a meme and Musa moweset looks like ass.
Carter Jenkins
i like the ninja for mobility, ninja in particular likes to zip around, is very fancy musa used to be weaksauce i'm not sure about now
Thomas White
I think the whole Guan Yu spear thing looks pretty cool though. Although the regular musa moveset isn't particularly impressive visually.
Why is Ninja a meme?
Isn't Musa supposed to be more mobile than Ninja? Musa seems pretty good at least for grinding mobs now in the low 50's.
Camden Ward
Musa and Maehwa are the fastest classes in the game by far (Mae requires WW -command binding to animation cancel basic attacks, which is stupid). Musa is also magical in AOE farming.
Jacob Watson
Doesn't Musa also need the WW binding to move at max fast?
Angel Jackson
As far as I've tried no, Musa goes to racing mode even without the ultimate chase.
Dominic Collins
What exactly do you input?
Asher Richardson
W+RMB
Brody Hernandez
Huh, I thought there was a faster cancel with like WW+F or something. I've been away for a while, last time I seriously played is back when Musa couldn't take Chase 2 or they'd lose their cancel.
Caleb Bennett
Could be also that. My experience is completely anecdotal and I haven't done any combat with that Valencia-trading alt in weeks.
Carter Myers
It's indigo.
Owen Cruz
What classes do you think or even good right now? It seems like all of the males kinda suck and I'm not really into playing a chick.
Andrew Morales
>Why is Ninja a meme? Everything is a meme, user.
Josiah Scott
No, you're indigo.
Jonathan Baker
Wizard and giant are the good male classes.
Carson Watson
Is this game actually dying/dead?
It seems like it might be and this makes me sad.
Andrew Adams
>11 unique ips game doesn't even have enough players for a volleyball match
Owen Hill
its indigo
Connor Morgan
I wanna make a new character.
Tamer or kunoichi?
Mason Nelson

Tyler Nguyen
Kunoichi

Aaron Moore
Did they fix desync/lag? Is EU still alive? Is Sardine still alive? How hype is the game still or is it a sinking ship?
Levi Nguyen
No Yes Yes Slowly sinking because of no awakening
Charles Garcia
Downloading the game as we speak, any shift in power of the guilds?
Jacob Perry
>Did they fix desync/lag? Partially. >Is EU still alive? Absolutely. Jordine, that is. >Is Sardine still alive? Yes. >How hype is the game still or is it a sinking ship? Bad decisions from the devs and publisher gave it a bad reputation, but it is still very much so alive.
Grayson Watson
thanks for the preset, bashieu :^)
Luke Sanchez
How are Maehwa nowadays? should I drop mine and go for Kuno?
Bentley Evans
I fucking hate the male hairstyles in this game. None of them look natural, they all look like fucking pretty boy garbage that require fuckloads of maintenance, which doesn't fit the character I'm trying to create. Bald is disgusting though. FUCK.
Carter White
>Not wanting to play a Kunoichi (male)
William Gray
The game will continue to sink even with Awakening.
What makes you think it will be such a huge game changer?
>Game is sinking because no Sieges/Node War! >Shit gets released >Game is sinking because no Valencia >Valencia is released >Game is sinking because no Awakening
If it sinks any further you might come back out in Korea right in front of Daums HQ.
Alexander Kelly
I like AoE more than single target. Honestly I haven't found a single class in the game that I actually like though.
Bentley Turner
Post waifu. Here's my sadfu.
Henry Davis
daum doesn't live in korea you idiot haha
Dylan Smith
Here's my bashfu.
Brayden Howard
That's actually rather indigo
Cameron Butler
Any Sardiners online? I want to join the legendary guild with the legendary cat_facts
Robert Cook
Give Karaliset a wee whisper, friendo.
Caleb Ortiz
Daily reminder sardine is a guild that harbors passive aggressive shitposters that aren't afraid to shitpost about you behind your back, as well as lie straight to your face when confronted.
Jonathan Hughes
For RP go to Orwen. EU is empty for RP and it's not worth investing time there.
Brayden Morris
>Playing the game again after 3 or 4 months without playing >See that there's a catalog Hey, that's pretty neat!
>See images of NPCs, back turned characters not showing face, and other things unrelated. We just can't keep the memes to the boards can we.
Caleb Collins
sardine

Gabriel Rodriguez
You got that mixed up Reddit guild is baka
Nathaniel Bennett
Game is full of zombie motherfuckers who grind mobs all day that think they are playing a pvp game.
Colton Morales
Which hairstyle lads
Jack King
right
Jackson Nelson
this. im only level 36 but its just straight up grind.
i wanna play it more but i feel like i messed up my character without doing all this node shit first, and the gathering crap
Nolan Rogers
Do what you wanna do. The game is more fun when you realise that competing is a pointless chore.
Mason Collins
left is cute and unique
Camden Gomez
Left Shrink the bottom lip a bit too I would say but that's just a hot opinion
Brayden Flores
right looks better but is more generic
Robert Campbell
Why do people recommend taking liverto on warriors when your best damage moves have 100% crit chance?
Kevin Robinson
It's cheap man. $30 one time payment.
It's worth checking out but it doesn't have much to hold interest for long, unless you like mindless grinding and mindless pvp. That or fishing. Lots of fishing you can do.
The game is worth checking out though because it's probably the best looking mmorpg around. It also, imo, has the best hack n slash style combat system, and interesting character classes.
My advice, if you buy the game, is to play it slowly. Forget about end game and just enjoy leveling and doing quests and stuff because there is really not much else.
Carter Reyes
because if you are even considering that idea you are too poor for kzarka
Luis Walker
I'm pretty disappointed with the Kunoichi awakening.
They made her just a straight brawler. There is no subtlety or stealthiness to her moveset. I don't know why they didn't make her more like the Ninja and his awakening.
I mean, chakrams are cool and I was really looking forward to seeing what they would do with it, but the results are really underwhelming.
Oliver Jackson
what if i wanna pvp?
Adam Rivera
You literally can't mess up your character. Only things you can ever miss are once-per-account prize skillpoints.
Nodes don't do shit unless you are going to invest thousands of energy.
Also join some shit pvp guild and do node wars.
Juan Howard
is everyone playing or just ded thred
Thomas Davis
Im playing ;)
but since baka and ic and shit no longer shitpost violently in the thread its low activity
Elijah Morgan
Is there a discord for BDO?
Colton Ross
Sure, it's called Sardine
Camden Myers
Is it active?
James Campbell
Yup See the guilds section in the OP for how to join
Henry Turner

Thomas Young
this is lewd
Joshua Stewart
>hit 58 at the end of may >quit the game >just reinstall and login because I got a new computer >still top 3 in growth Fucking pathetic to be honest.
Carter Martinez
what benefit is there to going past 55 right now?
Jack Phillips
Give us a good reason why should anyone grind past 56, since we don't get more infinite mastery or awakening skills past that.
John Sanchez
I think you're the fucking pathetic one here bud.
Nicholas Watson
The artistic view is getting real in this one.
Asher Ortiz
a) you level automatically when grinding money b) to be prepared for awakening weapon power creep because the bonuses from one level are retarded c) for skill points
Doesnt really matter what you think you little twink. Only people who are still playing this game are incompetent slackers it seems. Pretty sad but was to be expected.
