>What is BDO? Black Desert Online is an MMORPG by Pearl Abyss, most recently released for Western audiences. It features action-oriented combat, open world PvP territory control, player housing, unlimited levels of grinding, and more.
>Is it 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 and weekly selling limits of cash shop items restrict profit. One CANNOT P2W over a dedicated player.
>NewFAQs If you don't know if the game is "worth it," get a guest pass. All classes can be viable and fun. Ask something more specific. Weapon: Kaia, or BUY a +15 Yuria -> Liverto -> Kzarka Awk weapon: Green -> Blue -> Dandelion Offhand: Warrior & Berserker Accuracy offhand/other classes AP offhand -> Kutum Armor: Grunil -> Boss armor For everyone's sake, read the links, Google it, and Ctrl+F, BEFORE asking the same stupid question other people previously have in the same thread. Max breasts for rare drops
And a bunch more. None of these worked and they're all pretty unique.

Logan Sanchez
>all unique
Andrew Green
>All those shitty normie anime names.
Eli Cook
>pretty unique user...
Zachary Barnes
This game has almost been out for a year user, most anime names are taken.
assuming this isnt bait.
Jordan Moore
I love wandering
Ayden Kelly
You know people reserved all of these before day 1 with headstart names, right? These are about as unique as corner shop souvenirs.
Gavin Martinez
Valk is so fun. Have a Guest pass. JN6O4AF-UEP5364-T161KAE-K3G0H
Ian Lee
are you being ironic, postironic, sincere, or newsincere
Cameron Wood
>unique
Adam Roberts
>tfw someone gifts you something easy to get like an outfit instead of pets or something that's not available on the market I mean I'm thankful, but have some god damn sense people
Owen Smith
kek eat shit
Luke Thompson
man I'm so desperate to get panties for my characters, and this game allows pretty much 0 ways of trading ffs
Most I can think of is spending my loyalties on megaphones and broadcasting something someone needs several times or whatever. I'm never fancy lacey panties on my witch.
Christopher Edwards
Which server?
Bentley Jenkins
NA
Jordan Young
sucks
Oliver King
What were you planning?
Jaxson Lopez
I was feeling charitable so I thought I'd gift you your choice of panties.
Jace Perry
>all these main heroine names
What did you think was gonna happen?
Lincoln Davis
Is the noob free underwear box a random panty or do you get to choose?
I sure hope it's something that matches the apricot outfit. ha ha. nothing does.
Daniel Price
C-Can I get a costume maybe? Premium Sylvia outfit! Or any underwear..
Cooper Martinez
Well, I'm not really feeling it now anymore 'cause I wanted it to be a surprise for whoever this guy was, and I don't like stutterposting.
Jackson Rodriguez
I like the stockings on this one
Ryder Kelly
the sad part is the people desperately want some "unique" name so much, and they can't be bothered to add a number or another letter at the end, like Naruto69, or SakuraH
Ryan Wright
Random. Probably leopard underwear.
ahahaha xXx_Asuna_xXx
Henry Wright
Oh, well dang then. I hope someone else is given a surprise!
Brandon Johnson
How dead is this game? The last second switch from f2p seems like a bad idea. Figured I'd check how it played out.
William Brown
it's too alive imo grindspots are always full with shitters and there are so many people in towns that your fps will drop below 20 on high end rigs
Carson Garcia
far from dead, try to win anything in the market... is near impossible, go to any channel, all grind spots are taken, do world bosses they always have enough people to make you lag
If the game isn't alive then I don't know what it is... the sales have been bringing a steady influx of new blood, but vets quit left and right so it balances out.
Noah Torres
>God King Lucifer What in the name of fuck
Brandon Allen
dead as hell, every other thread falls off page 10, and it's p2w as fuck
Joseph Carter
Possibly the ugliest character/dye combo I've ever seen, congrats.
Lucas Wright
Hello, and welcome to Black Desert Online General.
David Carter
>3/4 of my pet skills went towards fishing What the shit
Hunter Harris
Glad you like it
Leo Gonzalez
So as my penguin levels up he gets more "emotions" i guess? Right now he has "Joy", "feed", "sitting", and "sulky" are these emotes or something i can trigger with him or are they idle animations? clicking on them does nothing
Jack Clark
i've never watched an episode of anime in my life and I know 90% of those names just 'cause they're so normie
i rate this bait very highly
Jack Edwards
I'll never get that outfit. Damn people outbidding me!
Maybe I should just get my maehwa or warrior to 55 before I worry about more alts.
Luis Reed
your mouth looks weird
Justin Howard
Will look into it!
Evan Stewart
Just started playing yesterday. What are the chances of me getting one of those fancy winged costumes before they go away? I hear they're limited.
Ethan Evans
you have a 100% chance of getting one if you pay for it
Mason Stewart
How many "warning points" do you have on the official forums, if you use them at all. I have three I got all at once. Also, what is the point of them?
Christopher Perez
Not very likely. Been trying for the sorc one since the first day and still haven't gotten it.
Bentley Harris
can you buy appearance coupons off the market in this game?
Tyler Rivera
Daily reminder that you will never be 'Cyclegreen', the biggest memelord in /bdog/, /pol/ and the BDO forums.
William Cooper
buy a value pack instead
Isaiah Walker
>I've been outbid on the premium Sylvia outfit 5 times in a row.
What the fuck why can't they ban the botting assholes.
Luke Baker
that's not how the system works, buddy it's more like a lottery, you just keeping pulling the wrong number
Christian Campbell
pls assist
Caleb Price
I don't get these bids though. Everyone is forced to bid the same amount as it says, and then the game just RNG's who gets it?
Ryder Morgan
>5 times kek come back after 50 fails
Jeremiah Allen
yes. everyone bids the same amount then some magical wheel of fortune is spun, and whoever's name it lands on is able to buy the item
Cooper Gutierrez
>unique I'd post gore in your honor, that's how bad this is.
Angel Bennett
But I've noticed after constant refreshing it says "Buy" and then "Item has already been sold" or I get "Failed bidding".
Andrew Cooper
it's the same shit, it's a korean game with poor translations and implementation, and no they're not doing anything about it we're fucked
Chase Walker
just means you lost
Noah Powell
Previously, you had to type in a captcha to buy anything off the marketplace. I haven't had to enter it at all since coming back, so I am guessing they got rid of it.
There was a chance no one would win the bid on the item, so then it would go "free for all" and whoever could click buy and type in the captcha fast enough would be the one able to purchase it.
Noah Jenkins
I bet once you reach a certain count you get banned from the forums and maybe muted in game. Don't be an asshole.
If you lose in the bid you get "Failed to purchase the item" or if someone's ping was higher to check the purchase and he got it already before you even checked your bidding you'll get "Item has already been sold."
If it didn't get sold in the bid phase it'll go free for all and the lowest ping with the fastest response to m1 -> enter gets it, in which case you'll also get "Item has already been sold." This also means some people might macro that and you might never have had a chance at all, or they just come out on top because of their lower ping instead of being able to type the captcha faster than you, at which you might have excelled and won the item in the past.
Jaxon Evans
should I be spamming refresh during the "counting" phase?
Levi Hughes
I wasn't being an asshole intentionally, I was pretending to mock someone and they interpreted as real harassment despite the obvious sarcasm in my opinion.
Josiah Hughes
Now there's a familiar name.
Dominic Long
idk i like the epheria marine fishnet stockings.
William Bailey
almost all of mine went towards karma recovery.
life sucks.
Blake Phillips
The stockings on most are fine, it's the bras and lace that all look silly.
Spear is fun, but there are no Pris up on the market to snag and no green duos either. Too poor for this game.
David Turner
Nah, you don't need to, you've got 20 seconds to check your bid to see if you won or not. If you're waiting for the bid phase to end you should never refresh as it actually hinders you. So, just don't refresh at all.
Mm, sarcasm or just a pranks bro aren't always that obvious in text, I most likely don't get at least 50% of it directed at me and think the person allegedly being sarcastic is trying to start something. Pepper it with winky smilies or equivalent softening measures if you have to be sarcastic and you've got face to lose.
Adrian Price
Yeah they are. Glad there's a way to remove the bras while keeping the panties on.
Thomas Barnes
this was a mistake but oh well, at least I got an outfit, pearl item tab in the marketplace is a warzone
Owen Gutierrez
...
Nathaniel Bailey
Talk about rubbing it in anons face, dick.
Jace Lewis
such an ugly outfit ranger literally doesn't have a single good one
Jonathan Turner
Good face
Levi Martinez
user-kun semenpai cum shave my pits for me UGUU
Oliver Anderson
I'd...do...it...
Lucas Harris
there was some guy that hates low res textures here's to you, you fag
Asher Peterson
I like this one
Landon Ward
Which class has the largest breasts?
Brayden Reed
also snow it actually looks ok, but my card is literally melting
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Clead looks alright if you dye it modest colours. Like most costumes...
Jason Parker
ranger clead shows bellybutton? how lewd!
Andrew Anderson
I hit level 54 and I just spent 30 minutes of 200% EXP at Susan's. I only got 40%. I thought the grind wasn't supposed to start until after Awakening?
Ayden Anderson
The grind gets exponentially worse after each level over 55.
Jordan Baker
At least I was having so much fun I didn't even notice the 30 minutes were gone, but damn.
Aiden Stewart
Progress is still progress. As long as you're not losing stuff then it's fine.
Hudson Baker
started a 7 day trial last night and I'm liking this a lot. feels a little rough around the edges at times but there seems to be a lot to the game.
Is there a monthly fee? Sorry for the dumb question but it's not made obvious
Kayden Campbell
there is no monthly fee
Camden Garcia
no the only monthly "fee" is getting a value pack from the marketplace and that's barely 10m in silver coins the problem is, unelss you're one lucky motherfucker you ain't getting one
Levi Ortiz
Cool, definitely gonna get this before the sale ends.
Jason Cook
value packs aren't hard to get, like sure you won't get it on your first try, but they're pretty common you can easily get one in three days casually bidding, unlike pets...
Leo Diaz
>I got a pet and a value pack yesterday without bidding
Pretty good haul post christmas.
Gabriel Butler
New to the game. Struggling to decide between Witch and Berserker. I enjoy both, but I want to go with whatever one has a more central role in PvP while being fun/not quite as repetitive.
Anyone have any opinions? Curious which you guys consider a little more fun
