>What is BDO? Black Desert Online is an Korean MMORPG by Pearl Abyss. It features action-oriented combat, open world PvP territory control, player housing, unlimited levels, life skills, and more.
>Is it P2W? Yes if you're willing to drops hundreds of dollars. Three critical things that will aid you in progression are having 4 pets which you can buy with real money or in game money, buying weight limit increases with either loyalty or real money, and artisan memories which you can buy with either loyalty or real money. These items are more accessible when spending real money considering the marketplace is sparse regarding pets and loyalty takes longer to get than real world cash.

If you party with people significantly higher/lower level than you is it a waste of time?
Need to figure out if I can play just one character with bros or if I need to make one for solo play as well

holy gooks leveling from 56 to 57 is already a pain in the ass with olvia channels
Chase Ward
Downloading the game for the first time after a friends recommendation and was curious about the PvP Scene and how bad or good it is pertaining to griefing.
I'm a fucking care-bear, pussified PvE player and I'm not big on PvP especially not World PvP where you get ganked countless times, had that problem back in WoW trying to level in STV.
What's it like and is there anyway to avoid it at all?
Lucas Miller
word I'm way too impatient to get anywhere in this game I forced myself to grind to just 56 and it already felt like a pain for the last 30% now 10% into 57 I just gave up
Jack Davis
>had that problem back in WoW trying to level in STV.
>is there anyway to avoid it at all?
you should cancel now
Gavin Nelson
Even on double xp weekends I've never ran into too much trouble with PKers at the popular end game spots.
Yeah I somehow managed to get 57 without killing myself but I'm done grinding forever now. I just do comfy lifeskilling and world bosses now and it's fun.
Benjamin Jones
I'm going to find out who you are and camp you
Thomas Ward
It's not as bad as people itt will make it seem. There's a lot of anti-social faggots playing this game and they'll leave you alone most of the time unless you try to grind in a few commonly contested areas. Even if you do come across a pker there's plenty of other areas to grind when you're around level 56+ as long as you've 160~ AP.
You shouldn't miss out on the combat in this game just because some user tells you to cancel. The combat is top tier.

I mean I'm find with some PKing it was really bad at some points in WoW though. Holy fuck did I get destroyed by people camping me for weeks or months. >High level player comes into a low-level zone >Proceeds to kill all the NPCs, haulting any progress for a few hours

trying to justify it is even worse

Nicholas Fisher
Well, its kinda comfy in here. Tho there's a 30 feet long shark near me what is kinda scaring me.
Landon Johnson
It took a long time but I just went straight north west from Port Euphoria. There were lots of sharks that almost killed my boat but you're actually able to outrun them without taking any hits if by just going straight forward in one direcetion for a while. If you accidentally got really close to one, or god forbid just fucking hit it with your boat, it will hit you a few times but if you just keep going and hold shift and W you should be okay. The boats (Probably pirates) aren't really anything to worry about as I just steered clear of them and they didn't chase me or didn't chase me much either one.
If you see ANY splashing in the water in the distance then turn the fuck away from them because it's always a shark. If you have to go in the opposite direction just to make sure you don't get near one then do it. Don't take any chances.
I feel like playing Wind Waker so many times gave me the seafaring experience I needed to make it without dying. youtube.com/watch?v=w0IPkWMBZGk They're called "Nineshark"s so I assume they're nine feet long.
Noah Gomez
>what is kinda scaring me. based esl

>hold shift and w Wait this actually works on boats? I haven't noticed any difference in speed
Benjamin Taylor
that was kinda beautiful...
Juan Torres
So this might be odd to ask but how is the story and lore of Black Desert? I know this is a MMO but I still enjoy a competent story in my MMOs.
Gavin Garcia
No you're still a dumb faggot frog poster.
Kevin Peterson
how long did it take you in total? fuck I'm scared I don't wanna lose my boat in the middle of bumfuck nowhere...
Carson Bell
i just answered my own question anyway because someone put 3 pieces of a set on the marketplace
thank you anti-frogposter
Lucas Nguyen
Tons of lore but the actual story is utter shit until you get to Mediah/Valencia
Nolan Parker
the main story is not very interesting but there are tons of side quests with quite fun/interesting but usually very short and self-contained storylines
Gabriel Parker
Well I'm not 100% sure either but I can tell that autopathing in a boat feels slower than usual so if it's anything like horses I assume it does help. It might just be me and it doesn't work but I'm doing it anyway just for the placebo effect as I pray for the shark not to kill me. I wasn't keeping track but I'd say about an hour. I was probably just as scared and just kept going without stopping. In game, it took from about 6 PM to probably 4-6 AM, not sure how long that is in real time since night is faster.
Jonathan Bennett
anyone in this thread have an extra guess pass?
Hudson Gonzalez
Finished the magoria questline. Literally nothing else to do here, there's an invisible wall right next to port ratt. Underwater gathering is also completely pointless, nothing unless you want the new coral accessories but they are garbage and cost 50m for +0 just for the manos.

Does that diving mask you get actually do anything? It seems like it doesn't at all and it doesn't say it does either. I guess it's just to look dumb.
Gavin Harris
did you use any ship repair kits?
Connor Rodriguez
I don't think you know what avatarfagging is
Zachary Thompson
While I was getting attacked by sharks I was wondering why I didn't think to take any with me.Definitely would have made things a lot less terrifying.
Jose James
okay cool I'm gonna stock up on some then, I believe I can make it
Andrew Nguyen
Lore is kinda entertaining, but i don't think it's told well. I feel like i get most of the lore from just observing the world.
The story is awfully generic, and hard to follow because you level up so fast that the main quests start overlapping and sometimes you do them out of order accidentally, and then it eventually just sort of ends around level 50, and then i don't think if there's even another story because up until 56 it doesn't seem like i've gotten another story, just random quests.

So my ship got destroyed on the way to Port Ratt, how can i repair it and where?
Easton Jones
That spoiler doesn't surprise me in the least, i mean, it's painfully obvious that he is up to no good.
I probably wont ever get to do it because i'm not autistic enough to grind to higher levels so it'll take me about a decade to get to whatever level you need to be to start that questline, unless they increase the soft cap first.
Lincoln Richardson

Christopher Edwards
>he isn't sailing with the GMs LMAO
Nolan Sanders
What does the sailing skill actually do? There's only like 5 total boats and you can drive them all without a skill restriction.
Isaiah Garcia
I think it's just for the guild galleys but I might be wrong
Caleb White
wtf where is this happening?
Jordan Price
Why the fuck are they able to get away with two literal pay to swim cash shop suits and leave the swimming so fucking horrible? I don't get it. Why the fuck do they think anyone wants to do that shit. This is probably the only thing I think is actually pay to win and it makes me mad. It's a lot more than convenience as the current boats are actually worse than the cash shop suits and swimming regularly is so unbearable. Not to mention it takes like a half a month to be able to craft one of the new boats so most people will either need to spend hours traveling to the new area to do 5 quests or just ignore ALL of the content for the half of a month. Why?
