>What is BDO? Black Desert Online is an MMORPG by Pearl Abyss that was recently released for western audiences, with additional changes. It features action-oriented combat, open world PVP territory control, player housing, and more.
>I heard it's P2W Lots of paid convenience features; and some cash shop items, such as most outfits (!) are able to be sold to other players on the marketplace, but maximum price caps restrict making unreasonable bank from them.
Is this game more fun than FFXIV? considering giving it a try.
Nathaniel Phillips
shit I dunno MAYBE it depends on what kind of games oyu like? I guess
Isaiah Gomez
I never tried MMOs and fantasy games before and have 1816 hours in it currently. It's just so damn boring now. I've heard this game has no fast travel and also good open world and better graphics.
Eli Torres
Search for "guest pass" in the previous thread and try it out for yourself.

Is the new Sorceress outfit sexy? I'm still downloading patch.
Cooper Howard
You can find it at the end of the previous thread.
Ian Williams
the one on the left is pretty sexy(besides your right hand for some reason?? it looks diseased, wtf korea), your underwear shows through the holes in the costume too
I don't like the one on the right, the sleeves are really stiff and look weird, only the boots are different, but they decided to make it two different outfits
Austin Martin
i don't know if it was you that tried to sell the eckett outfit, milfsorc
if it was you thanks for the effort, but i didn't get it ;_;
Luke Mitchell
It is not a disease, but a gift. A boon of untold, endless, possibilities.
Andrew Watson
I'd be ok without it..

I used my last character slot for a sorc but I'm kinda more interested in a musa, what should I do
David Davis

Ian Murphy
b-but it's too expensive

Camden Sullivan
Anyone still has guest pass maybe?
Eli Hughes
New zone when? I need a reason to reinstall and explore since I sure as hell wont play this game for the gameplay anymore.
Jace Peterson
somewhere in december we'll get a new continent and lema island gets a big cool ass asian looking port town
Brayden Kelly
Which is better at grinding or more competitive in pvp; Musa or Maehwa?
So I just got this and installed on a drive that wasn't a SSD thinking it was no big deal.
The 'pop in' is fucking awful, along with me having middle-tier specs. Is installing on C drive just a meme or does it actually help the game run noticeably better?
If so, how would I go about directly moving it? Many people just say copy and paste it over but is there more to it than that or should I just clean reinstall?
Lincoln Hughes
>The 'pop in' is fucking awful, it's awful on an ssd too if it's a deal breaker for you, quit now because there's no solution
Owen Peterson
ssd does make the game run much better with horse speed at t6+, but either way it pop in never fixes. Ive never really understood ppl that have such huge problems with it
Angel Gomez
I mean, it starts happening like literally 3 feet away from my character. Is there any difference moving the game to SSD to be worth it?
The only thing that seems to work is high end mode but then the game runs like shit (24-30 fps at best) because it ups graphics to the highest possible setting.
It's not necessarily a deal breaker and i'll probably get use to it but it's annoying considering how so damn close it is. Are there no fixes other than High end mode and possibly moving to SSD?
Thomas Russell
No clue cause I only have an ssd and don't really care about popin cause i play on all low and crop+upscale most of the time to not lag in bigger fights
Dominic Brooks
>Is there any difference moving the game to SSD to be worth it? I've done that and the game loads like 10x faster. Not sure about pop in though
Brandon Sullivan
>Game runs like shit >30 fps >Shit I would sell my character to Chinese gold sellers if I could get to play in 30 FPS. I get 18 fps at best at the lowest possible settings + upscale + cropping and god forbid I have to go into Heidel or Calpheon because my game fucking shits itself and goes to 1 fps for like 2 minutes until it can load everything in.
I think you can deal with 30 fps, senpai.
Daniel Jones
Literally the "but muh starving children in Africa" equivalent of video games
Jayden Watson
But 30 fps isn't even bad at all. That's pretty average despite what anticonsole posters on /v/ will tell you. If that's the price to pay for no pop ins then that's a pretty cheap price.
Cameron Clark
...
Anthony Johnson
30 fps just works
Caleb Morales
I'm actually kind of regretting picking Maehwa instead of Musa now because the Musa awakening is very reminiscent of Vanguard in DFO which I like a lot. I'm not digging the ice spear thing that Maehwa has but I suppose it will still be quitecool once I get to play it.
Brody Hall
if you're under level 58 you can still reroll quite easily
Angel Allen
Shoveling is good for money because you can gather a lot of sharp/hard stones right? Is that the only thing you can get from it. Is the rest of the junk just vendor trash or is there something I can do with them?
Aiden Smith
Rerolling after level 40 seems like a total waste of time to me even if you can level quickly. I guess I'll just suck it up.
Maehwas here that have awakened please tell how it plays
Samuel Myers
If you've designated a character as a "main" and given them weight increases or other store stuff, then I'd agree with you, otherwise you can make a new character and grind up.
Cameron Gonzalez
same as every other class, get 220 ap and 1 shot people, be under 200 and never kill anyone
Evan Brooks
new player here, recently hit 52, wondering if people who are looking for people for their summoners scrolls expect me to share mine aswell. Not like I would, but if I don't have any?
Jaxson Richardson
yes, they do.
when someone else summons everyone in the party has a chance to some loot, on top of what the loot bag that the summoner always gets for himself.
Colton Mitchell
Excuse me? Can I have that again?

>autorunning in calpheon >bunch of fucking protestors blocking the road What the fuck is going on? Why are there so many NPCs?
Joseph Flores
What kind of question is this?
Dylan Parker
Exactly what it sounds like? I was just running around in calpheon and suddenly there were a bunch of fucking NPCs shouting and holding signs. They were blocking the path.
Jeremiah Fisher
Okay? Yes? Don't autorun there then. You should also pay attention to the story to figure out why there are NPCs there. C'mon. This is stupid. Do you also wonder why there are Elrics at the temple?
Ryder Mitchell
I just started like a week ago. Yes, I'm trying to figure out why they are there by asking you guys.
Ethan Bell
Talk to NPCs, especially quest ones in Calpheon.
What's the point of a story if you don't get invested in it?
Owen Sanders
You should ask for story details regarding the protestors instead of going "fuck why fucking fuck are there NPCs shitfuck" like a complete moron

Camden Taylor
wtf i just spent like 5 minutes killing this thing and it didnt drop anything
Ethan Sanchez
has a super low chance to drop best necklace in the game, people that kill them in ~20 seconds spend days not getting them
Hunter Moore
I'm asking why there are suddenly a bunch of protestors. They were never there before. Or at least I never noticed them.
James Perez
Tip: You need a rope in order to tame a tamer
Grayson Long
they've been there since korean beta
Brandon Flores
Really? Nevermind I guess I'm retarded because I've never noticed them before.
Caleb Reyes
but i got that
Hunter Smith
>From what I've heard, everything other than grinding is inefficient and doesn't get you enough money for your time >Want to trade stuff but it seems like it's not very good at all for cash >Trading, training, cooking, fishing, hunting, and alchemy are the only actual professions where as gathering and processessing is just all the crafting lumped into two skills instead of them making a real, diverse crafting system They really went barebones for all the crafting professions, didn't they. So much for "sandbox" when they made grinding the only real thing in the game
Ayden Phillips
I'd say like 90% of the silver in the game gets made by professions. It's something you can do afk so tons of people do it and the people who know how can make upwards of 700m a week.
I do kind of wish there was more traditional gear crafting though.
Elijah Smith
did they stop giving out the event coins?
Julian Richardson
Grinding requires active attention, so ofc it gives it the best money.
I spend all day afk in Trent chopping wood for crates and sitting in front of a cooking station making imperial trade goods and I bring in 300-350m a week depending on if I get all my imperial trading in.
Leo Young
If this is the case, then do you need to be at a really high level in the profession to make money worth your time? I'd say time and effort but most things can be done afk like you said which is kind of disappointing. How exactly does imperial trading work? Do you need to do something specific to be able to unlock it or something? What sets it apart from regular trading?
Honestly it's really easy to level life skills now since so few cost energy. Takes you maybe a week or two to level processing or cooking from level 1 to artisan.
Sebastian Smith
no
Landon Long
now upgrade it
Hudson Rodriguez
why am i not getting any

Ryder Mitchell

Jackson Reed

Jose Gray
How so?
Jason Cooper
It's a kunoichi
William Edwards
Damn shame
David Kelly
is it too late to start?
I used a trial thing back on release, my complain was that it seemed people had to min max their route shit to make a ton of money when not playing, and that people progress too much while idling like watching a movie and making horses run to sell them after they level up stuff like that.
Can I just play this like 4 hours a day and ignore the "afk/idling" things and still be viable and have a guild that wants me and all that? Also probably won't spend more than the $9.99 package.
Joseph James
also is there a way to see if an account has characters on it?
Because I remember making two trial things, I just don't remember which one had my most progressed character... And I really liked the ranger I had, so i don't want to reactivate the wrong account.
Dylan King
Do you remember the ranger's name? You could make yourself a new trial account and try friending that ranger and find out the account name through that.
