>NewFAQs Newfags might be overwhelmed by the information overload at the beginning. Do yourself a favor and "turn off system notifications" in the Settings>Game options. Check everything in that window. Avoid lag by turning off High End mode in the Settings>Screen tab. Be sure to check "Remove other's effects" and uncheck "Display other's names" for an enjoyable world boss experience.

Yes, and I suppose that wouldn't fix your injuries either, hm?
Parker Campbell
What do you plan to accomplish today /bdog/?
I'm going to try and get an alt to 56 with some friends.
Asher Wright
>interested in playing bdo >check out the classes >there's only 2 ranged classes, one of which goes melee at endgame >only 1 tank class which also seems to be the only support class >every other class is just a different flavor of melee spammer how is this excusable? especially in a game where the endgame pvp is clusterfucky. I want to be a ranged supporter but the only support is just another melee retard
Luis Perez
Oh it's the autist clown who samefags himself in every thread
Beyond absolutely pathetic
Grayson Rivera
because melee is the kind of gameplay that's engaging and fun
sitting at range is dull
Angel Lee
>Samefag calling anyone else a samefag. lol
Nicholas Gonzalez
you tell em mom
Ian White
that's literally just like your opinion man why don't I have the option to hang back and heal or buff or debuff or cc to help my friends. why is the only way to pvp in this game is smashing your power numbers against your opponents power numbers? seems so bland
Matthew Rodriguez
go play final fantasy
Henry Miller
it's a fucking action game dude, and asian inspired as well meaning it has lots of anime style martial arts shit. there just isnt much material to work with for ranged chars.
Eli Campbell
well I can go play literally any other class based game ever made and it has these options, so why does bdo lack them? the world and systems seem so cool but if theres only one way to experience them it really cheapens the experience imo
Samuel Young
Only numales, gays, and women play support roles.
Grayson Hill
>Why doesn't BDO have the boring holy trinity that all the dead western games have??? If you think melee classes are all the same just because they are melee I don't know what to say to you. Go play a fighting game. Stop being retarded. Idk.
Chase Mitchell
I'm sure the classes all have atleast unique flavor but they all play for the exact same goal, run up to your opponent and kill them.
And I'm not sure how you can call the holy trinity bland when it by definition offers atleast 3 completely different play styles where bdo has 1 outside of the wizard
Jaxon White
thread reminder
Landon Clark
Reminder that witches (like me) are retarded and it's mean to bully them.
Nolan Wilson
>Black Desert >support role
Adam Watson
>3 different playstyles is more bland than 10 different ones. I'm sure the holy trinity all have at least unique flavor but they all play for the exact same goal, win the fight.
Nathaniel Foster
We all know that's you, Cuckuta.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Warrior and Zerker are just support roles.
They only exist to set up kills for the real classes.
Parker White
Not sure if you're being intentionally disingenuous or if you're actually just retarded but either way I'll just agree to disagree
Tyler Bennett
>warrior ult sets up kills for other classes
Zachary Hill
Warriors are bitches for witches.
Carter Campbell
Room for one more?
Adrian Johnson
It's not opposite day.
Jordan Ross
So what's up with BDO's official NA forums? I go to the general section and apparently no one has posted for 3 days. Is it dead or am I not in the right place?
Landon Bailey
we get it karma changes,no most of us dont really care
Carson Reed
Nevermind there's a second forum for some reason and I was in the old one I guess.
No idea what you're talking about dude.
Mason Morgan
You do realize the wizard is melee too, right? All the decent skills are AoEs right in front of the Wizard, and the ranged ones are complete trash. Ranger's bow skills are so bad that you don't even bother leveling them outside of a single skill, which is a shotgun that you will spam in melee range from the time you get it until the time the game dies.
Brody Lewis
There's no heal sluts in this game.
Austin Green
>tfw love playing healer and servicing my team feels bad man, so many mmos shit on me
Lincoln Gray
Eu is lot more alive than na
Leo Clark
Valkyries have a heal, Valkyries are sluts. Do the math
It's okay user, you can still service me
Tyler Turner
Lies! Lies and slander!
Juan Flores
EU has less than half the active players and all the popular grind spots are wide open 24/7.
Connor Cruz
The only thing Eu likes to play is Aion. Black Desert to complicated for their minds.

the game is built on empty promises and we all know deep within that they will never EVER change anything why can't I stop playing this fucking shit game what the fuck is wrong with me
Jaxon Flores
>anti-social retards playing MMO
You know who you are. Fuck off from my genre, you fucking cancerous turds.
Blake Torres
This is an anti-social mmo tho.
Carson Sanders
>finally nearing KR patches like they promised, and all of a sudden they slow down tremendously and now we've fallen behind again No they haven't. We are 1 week behind KR in technical terms, it's just they are selective in their update process because the localization team is horrible.
Jackson Rogers
why is the game so unpopular in eu?
Wyatt White
That's why Aion is superior to Black Desert.
Xavier Reed
Did Striker awakening not just release yesterday? You're complaining like this game hasn't been touched in years.
William Martinez
yeah but none of this effects me because I don't play this game. i just go fishing
Henry Ortiz
which channel sardine sluts use and that samefag clown?
Hunter Baker
Truly the hero we need. I see a man of taste before me.
Isaiah Kelly
>Vjera calling other people antisocial retards Keked.
Owen Edwards
Calpheon 2.
Charles Perry
Calpheon 2, why did you want to know?
Leo Perez
So I can level a striker and rerun the same content I've already run past 7 times, skipping most of it and blazing to level 56 only to go back to the exact same 3 desert spots I've been grinding for the past half year on my other character since I can have the gear carry over.
sure seems like a GREAT amount of content, the only content besides dark knight which is more of the same really that has been added in the past 6 months
unless you count cash shop costumes content
Brayden Sanders
Go play another MMO if you want content white boy
Robert Brown
Post your irl waifu, now.
Connor Gonzalez
>:thinking: Go back to WoW faggot.
Also, kys.
Joshua Miller
We don't want you to play this game
James Walker
I don't understand why they can't just add more spots to grind. It's not like you need to program combat for the NPCs, because there isn't a single enemy in the game that fights back.
Gavin Stewart
>STILL playing wow in 2017 wew lad
Caleb Nguyen
Just started, how's my character look?
Lucas Moore
Looks great.
Michael Cooper
So blindingly beautiful I cant even see them
Angel Garcia

Camden Taylor
Better than anyone else posted here.
Andrew Carter
Would hold hands/10
Ayden Ramirez
Does the distance from storage/lodgings to the nodes workers are gathering from affect gathering speed?
Owen Green
cute
Cooper Powell
sorry, here he is
Ian Evans
Yes that's what their "speed" stat is for
Logan Hall
>White bitches on a hunt for BBC
Cooper Wright
I take back everything I said
Wyatt Nguyen
To the trash it goes friend
Blake Harris
Kill, fuck, and marry.
Evan Taylor
I see. Haven't gotten any workers yet. Should I have different lodgings in each town connected? Wouldn't that be a pain to manage?
Robert Phillips
>that armor >those weapons
Holy mother of fuck am I glad I left after TBC
Jason Walker
>Shultz Garrison added last week >Hurrrr no new content
Kayden Jones
You'd have to transport the materials around, yes
Landon Collins
Idd, just add new camps that are of higher level. Here is me pulling some straight out of my ass: >Southern part of mansha forest revamped into a 53-55 zone with a bit more density than it has now >Southern part beyond/within the canyons at giants a 55-56 zone that rivals gahaz >Sidecaves with shadow warriors where nobody ever goes near trent and make it a 55-56 zone as well >Make oasis's in desert drop heatstroke/hypothermia >make desert naga and frogans rival gahaz >add an island or 2 with something equivalent to pirates, like saltwater catfishmen or something No need to thank me daum
Daniel Rogers
>could've added new camps and variety to ANYWHERE on the map >decide to add another standard sausans camp WOW SURE IS GREAT CONTENT
Joshua Wright
Wait isn't pic related from FF14
Ian Nguyen
>Open quest log. >Mark destination on my map. >Close quest log. >Quest tooltip stays on my screen. Every time this happens there's this distant enraged screaming I can hear echoing in the back of my mind and it keeps getting closer and closer and I'm afraid what's going to happen when it gets too close.
David Torres
It's content that is neither Striker nor Dark Knight that was added in the last 6 months. Which means it's all that's needed to dismiss your claim.
Ayden Hernandez
So at what point does it become worth while to do that
Charles Flores
alright enjoy your noncontent lol
William Brown
and enjoy your nothing since apparently you're that bored you need to come here and type your shit out no one cares
Ryder Young
So you can play the game starting it from the launcher, and start it a second time launching it from Steam. Is it considered multiboxing or whatever? Can you get in troubles?
Asher Williams
pretty sure xigncode stops you from running multiple instances of the game from the same pc.
Kevin Collins
Something must be fucked then because I'm doing it right now.
