I'm tired of making these threads edition
>What is BDO?
Black Desert Online is an MMO by Pearl Abyss currently in development on an English language port for western audiences, with additional changes. It is a sandbox MMORPG that features action-oriented combat, open world PVP territory control, trading, player housing, and more.
>What is the difference between the KR/JP builds and the NA/EU builds?
The NA/EU builds are using a new, Buy-to-Play model.
The KR/JP builds of the game are free to play.
The NA/EU builds also do not have the blader/plum/kunoichi/ninja classes.
>What are the details of the NA/EU buy-to-play model?
You pay upfront, 30 dollars (minimum) and there is no subscription fee. There will be a cash shop, which allows you to buy cosmetics, pets, and vouchers for things like skill resets. You also get access to the next (and possibly final) beta test (CBT2) by pre-purchasing.

It will stop most of the hues which as an American I like. I guess Russians won't have any issue bypassing it, but I generally like slavs. They're fun to PvP with and the French are a much worse problem on Euro servers.

it's still CBT right now, what makes you think it won't be different once the game goes live?
regardless of whether it'll end up p2w or not, their goal right now is to just sell as many preorders as possible so of course they'll be saying that
>hurr its gonna be p2w
>hurr its not gonna be p2w
who cares
when it comes out one of you is gonna be right and one of you is gonna be wrong
and that'll be that
>>127350525
Sorry for stating facts.
>>127352265
the fuck do you mean "who cares"
the game being p2w or not is the deciding factor for a lot of people whether or not they want to spend their time/money on this game
you cannot possibly be this dense
>>127352789
Archeage was p2w and it did great
>>127352929
i hope this is bait
>>127352929
haha nice meme dude
The game will end up p2w because the greedy publishers will decide that a flat 30 dollars plus cosmetics is not enough, no they need the flat 30 dollars plus as much as they can jew out of the community.
It's amazing that no one has gone to a model like Tera's, considering how successful that particular game is. Just goes to show that business types literally cannot think outside the box beyond "how can we FORCE people to pay lots of money???"
>>127353125
Maybe you are one of those guys that played in the very start, but the game is great right now. Especially now that they released new restart servers that is free of exploited gold.
>>127351928
>yeah guys it'll be p2w trust me, even though I have absolutely no facts to back that up
>>127353293
you know tera's literally only relevant still because of elins
it has nothing to do with the business model lmao
>>127352274
go back to your mainland filthy comme
>>127353623
It is the business model. It's free with a cash shop you can use to dress up cute girls.
If no one was spending money on it the game would've stopped running years ago. They're pretty clearly doing something right.

You know, pw2 isn't the only way to make money. Protip: look at Vindictus's "1 out of 250 boxes" gacha costumes.
what soundtrack is this friends?

>>127353674
I'm AMERICAN. Sorry to offend you frog.
>>127353826
wow and guess what, those cute girls you mentioned are the elins that make up an overwhelming majority of the playerbase in all regions. if elins didn't exist then the game wouldn't be nearly as relevant
business model has literally nothing to do with it, by your logic any f2p game with cute girls would be selling well and be successful which isn't true at all
why am i even responding to such retarded posts
>>127354116
Even ellin players would have quit if the business model were shit. Ellins definately helped the game, but it would be dead without a fairly good business model just like ll f2p games.

You're an idiot when there are 3 publicly available versions to try.
>>127358806
2 of which require a VPN and another a 7bucks account
>>127358806
To be fair the preorder includes some cash shop items and you will still have to buy it to play NA/EU servers on release. Kind of shitty we are stuck paying for better ping because I honestly doubt they won't make it p2w.

I'm running around recording the soundtrack where it isn't the exploration or horse-riding theme after failing to rip them from the game files.
Mostly for personal use, but can take requests for whatever the ****.also give tips on preserving audio quality for if I encode things for youtubes

I love Nyono.
>>127375163
Marketing dude in that interview says, "we will have a cash shop with some vanity and convenience items, but nothing that relates to a pay to win model"
No p2w confirmed.
>>127389050
nyono doesn't have a fishing boat like we do
>>127389801
For now. We will have to see whether they keep that promise. I'm sure the p2w will come eventually. Maybe just not the first few months.
>>127390312
Maybe everything will be good
>>127390501
Usually everything is mediocre, which means relatively mild p2w (compared to something like Aeria for example.)
>>127389801
>No p2w confirmed.
Dont be delusional. they said the same shit in archeage but the p2w was clearly there just in an underhanded bullshit way through crafted gear and increasing your chance of success at upgrading items exponentially if you bought items through the cash shop.
It'll be a fun game to play for about 6 weeks before the whales ruin everything and the only ones left are the hardcore ERPers who dont care about gear and the creditcard pvp warriors.
