ur waifu a shit
Help me pick my outfit bdog. I'm an explosion witch.
So let me get this straight, there's no meaningful form of player interaction in this game is there?
You craft shit, sell it on a marketboard. Not to other players. PvP is only a loss of experience. Nothing to really fight over.
How is this different from a theme park MMO besides being a bit more freeform?
You can sit in some interesting places in this game.
>>135767819
Left.
Where do I get that character model?
so there is no way actually craft potions from scratch? only combine them or buy from npc?
How's my valk look so far?
>>135767819
middle and right are p.cute
Go for the left and you sully the purity
>>135767996
yea
this guy grabs your waifu, what do?
>>135768103
pretty good
>>135767924
http://www.bdotemplates.com/
Under witch, it's theAnna from Frozentemplate, I messed with it a bit but that's mostly the hair.
>>135768103
cute
>>135767890
Literally no meaningful player interaction in the current game. The most you'll interact with is sharing boss scrolls or PKing when they so much as look at your farming spot.
The 'sandbox' mmo bullshit just means 'instead of raids, there's nothing to do endgame. Also, we have a lot of extremely grindy crafting systems that do fuckall'.
Hopefully GvG will make it more fun.
>>135768103
I like her.
>>135768169
He is my waifu
>>135768103
Looks good anon. I would try to bring the nose down a bit to shorten the distance between it and the mouth. Not by much though.
>>135767418
I want to fuck you hard.
>>135768103
would marry and have children with
>>135767507
dank
>>135768250
Last fucking time I let my friends sell me on any game. How do you make an MMO with nothing meaningful to do? These games need some fucking consequence of interaction. Everything is too sterile these days.
>>135768103
I wish I could make something half as decent...;_;
>>135768103
looks good actually
>>135768250
GvG will just be the guild with the most overgeared people steamrolling easily with zero skill involved.
Hope you're ready for legions of faggot rangers and wizards spamming massive, hard hitting AoEs.
what's the point in PvP when there's nothing to fight over?
What are people farming for anyway? Money? Money for what? What us there to buy that's worth it?
>>135768802
>go to catfish or hexe on any channel in edan
>it's always groups of 3 or more people from a big guild
>they're all playing ranger
Don't know what I expected desu
>>135769034
Why did pokemon wanna catch em all?
to be the very best anon
>>135768609
They did a lot of it 'to prevent gold sellers'- but that's a lie. Fixed marketplace prices are how they can pretend the shit you do has any value, when it doesn't. Wanna learn cooking? Well you can't get a friend to do onions in trade for you giving him some oatmeal- no. They have to go on the marketplace. And there are no onions on the marketplace- because getting onions cost energy (another garbage 'anti-botting' feature) and you have to sell onions for peanuts, there's no reason to ever sell them. The only reason to get them is if you need them yourself, and the investment to get them is already retarded.
An alright game totally ruined by the dumbest decisions I've ever seen in an mmo.
>>135768802
Oh yea, and PvP is almost entirely Gear based. Damn, I'd almost forgotten.
>>135769034
because it's fun
You nerds know any outlaw guilds in jordine?
>>135769429
>implying anyone wants to be outlaw
>>135768428
Still the most beautiful character i've ever seen :) Used your template for my valk but sadly choose to go ranger instead.
How do you make your red hair color any good? Been trying out a lot of things now but can't get a good balance with it.
Either it looks way too dark/black or it glows like a neon light.
Anyone got any tips?
>>135769429
The outlaw penalties are outrageous. The entire game is equipment based, and you strike a chance to lose your equipment if you die. You need 80 million worth of equipment to kill anyone worth killing, and you can lose it all.
>get to level 45.
>refuse to buy the ghille suit on principle of the outrageous price and p2w aspect
>can't level anymore because gankers who don't care about their karma constantly killing me
Was a great game pre-level 45.
Now it's just plain not fun.
>>135769553<3
>>135769573
I just went as dark as I could and it looks fine. Still a bit bright at night with the lantern but I find it tolerable
What armour combination is everyone using for their warrior? Also which neck is generally more desired for warrior, bares of kalis?
>join Baka
>have fun
?
>>135769502
>>135769884
You only lose gems when you die, if youre retarded and die in pve you might lose enchant levels also random drop from inventory but whos carrying something else than potions when PVPing?
>>135770235
Looks? This
Armour wise I'm using Aeg until I can get better shit
evening /bdog/
how are you all??
Looking to join NFA EU
Family: Gafur

>>135770626
>how do I screenshot
Ha!
>>135770167
I don't know what server you're on but I'm 49 and haven't been attacked once.
To the contrary, everyone has been really nice in the end-game areas.
>>135770370
I think the bigger problem is getting assravaged by randoms when you try to do scrolls.
>>135770167
>walking alone down a dark dimly lit alleyway
You were asking for it
>>135770506
Keeping busy
>>135769305
cute
anyone know if Cyclops drop anything cool
So you can craft and gather... And besides money, what does this get you?
>>135771105
They drop blackstones somewhat often, although you can get insta killed by their yelling shockwave attack so it's not worth it imo.
>>135771293
power
>>135770973
That's why you have outlaw bros who you do scrolls with or people who aren't afraid of pvp, the boss fight is instanced anyway, never had any problems and done them everyday since launch. That's in Jordine tho not sure how the other servers are.
>>135771343
How so?
Clap talked me into playing this game with him and told me to play wizard because I couldn't possibly screw it up, but I noticed this enhancement category in my profile. Do I need movement speed critical hit rate and casting speed? How important is each?
>>135771464
as if i'm gonna give some peon the secret to success haha
>>135767819
>>135771368
Well there is pretty much always more than 10 people doing scrolls so you get hit by AoE a lot, try to flag up to PvP at the Imp captain and see what happens.
Is auto patrol still in the game?
>>135771637
Made me laugh more than it should've. gg anon
>>135771741
Oh we don't have that issue in Jordine or our ch atleast, max one or two groups at the same boss which is just fun PVP.
>>135771584
Well alright then... I'm going to assume there is nothing to be gained then
So everyone is just doing these things that lead to nothing because they're "fun"?
I mean, I would understand better if there was something to gain or lose in this game. Something at risk. Fighting over territory, controlling the market through PvP or extorting players.
>>135772007
Scrounge a guest pass and see for yourself but yeah, most people tend to play this game because it's fun
>>135772128
I'm already playing it. Only a couple hours in and I'm already questioning why I'm playing. I hate crafying for the sole purpose of making money when there's nothing to do with said money. PvE is supposedly non-existent? And there's nothing to be gained through PvP.
>trying to link island nodes
THIS IS GIVING ME A FUCKING HERNIA
>two islands next to each other dont link for no reason
>have to go 5 islands back to get the right chain
sdfuiohgsuidfg
Essentially this game is just shinier ArcheAge, but with no dungeons, right?
>Make money, to keep making more money.
>Gank people in the world if you really want to.
>Make that money.
>>135772760
But Anon, it's a fun sandbox because you can do it all in any order!! It's so different.
>>135767819
Stop giving them money.
>>135772007
is this your first mmo? it's all about getting the gear. you won't be able to get maxed out without having much money
>>135772523
The game isn't for everyone. I played it for a few hours at first and dropped it for a day or two because I was sure I hated it. Then I gave it another go and got hooked. I find it fun.
If you hate doing the stuff in the game then it's probably not for you.
>>135772007
>fun is just a buzzword
This might be getting a little bit out of hand.
>>135772915
No it's not. What's the point in gear? There is no PvE. PvP has no system in place, it's just there. There's nothing to fight for.
>>135772997
This game is mostly the fucking same as any other theme park MMO I could go play right now except it had less PvE content and a more extensive crafting system. Ultimately you're just making money to make money. There's nothing to be done with it.
>>135773007
Things are fun when there's risk involved. Everyone in the game isn't competing for shit. Everyone can do everything in time.
>>135773294
>Things are fun when there's risk involved
bro it's cute that you have a very strict definition of "fun" but that's not how it works
>>135773208
Imagine if they had collision and some memory leak like AA had. 10 fps fishing spots oboy
>>135772760
And hopefully without PvPers ruining the game for their circlejerking.
>>135773294
What do you want me to say? I'm not going to stop having fun because it doesn't measure up to your standards of what it should be and I'm sure as shit not gonna sit here and lay down praise on the game to try and prove you wrong.
Play it or drop it. I don't really care either way
>>135773208
me on the right
>>135768103
Pls post template I wanna play with this. It's very close to ikka on Bdotemplates. I'll literally fuck a donkey for it
Some people run the gear treadmill forever on some MMOs, some people run the money treadmill on others.
ALL MMOs are timewasters that will leave you salty when you quit, especially after a long time because of all the time you WASTED, yes, WASTED, but with any luck you'll have had fun and meet interesting people that you'll stay in contact with.
The key is to not go around pretending that your definition of fun is better than someone else's, because you're both wasting time anyways. You might as well waste it playing something that gives you what you want, regardless of what someone else plays or why.
>>135773435
Yes I have a different definition of fun. I'm just questioning why the fuck people acted like this game was somehow different from any other modern day MMO. Everyone is grinding away to watch they numbers go higher. There's no meaningful community interaction that leads to any systematic difference in how the game plays.
Let people fight over land. That would make PvP interesting. Having people fight for resources. Put shit in to buy that actually makes some sort of real difference in gameplay that isn't just better gear.
>>135773294
Not like there is no content to come, but it seems like you just search for reasons on why not to play the game. either just quit now, do your own research or come back later.
>>135773704
I don't really agree that it's guaranteed you wasted the time. If I meet just one cool person I want to stay in contact with after the game, it's been a worthwhile experience.
And I've been lucky enough to do so.
>>135773717
There's a suggestion page on the official forums
>>135773717
dude I agree 100% with this but the game is still fun
>>135773802
I'm doing he exact opposite. I'm looking for reasons to play the game after doing research.
Is there some way to like, drop your tradepack to enable you to fight bandits?
I might be too used to Mabinogi.
whats with girls these days?
>>135773954
That's fine. I'm not trying to imply that everyone here is retarded and not actually having fun either.
It's more that everyone I talked to acting like this game was different. It is in some ways, although I'm not sure I entirely agree with that either. Anyways, it's my fault for blindly listening to kthere about the game.
>>135773989
get a wagon
>>135773982
Then play the game for more than a few hours. Learn how it works, do a little bit of everything and then see if you want to continue playing it or not.
>>135774128
Dont ever blindly listen to people my man. Especially not when it comes to MMOs.
It never turns out right, and you should've known better.
>>135774128
yeah I couldn't tell you much about that, I haven't played a fantasy mmo since guild wars
>>135767819
>crotch zipper
what the fuck?
I get having slutty gear but that's just straight up porn-paraphernalia
>>135770169
Yeah guess I have to stick with the darkest.
But seriously it's just ridiculous how the hair color works in the dark, makes it so hard to choose the right color.
>>135773717
well guilds can siege main cities and smaller nodes, set taxes, bid on guild houses, produce imperial goods etc.
dunno what you really expected from a mmo
>>135774353
that's a seam
>>135774392
Jesus I thought I fucked up or something. Went with dark grey hair that turns neon white in the dark.
>>135774524
yeah don't use grey
I'm close to hitting 30 before even getting to Heidal from fishing/processing/trading.
How autistic am I?
>>135771294
>although you can get insta killed by their yelling shockwave attack
addendum: if you suck
>>135774658
Very.
>>135774392
Yep, it's wild. I originally had a red tint on the freckles and they were like LEDs at night time.
>>135774658
better to be autistic than mindlessly grinding to 50 and whining about no content
>>135774658
Holy shit that's maximum autism. How much money have you made? Still none, I'm guessing?
>>135774446
That all sounds okay.
I expect community based games to let me have meaningful interactions with the community. I don't play EVE because that game sounds like it has the right idea in some ways? Players have a reason to cheat each other. Territory to fight over and other stuff like that. It adds this metagame to the game that changes how the community interacts with each other.
When there's ultimately nothing to be gained or lost that has any value then you end up with a sterile community where nobody can really lose or gain anything.
I realize this all sounds super fucking elitist. That's not what I'm trying to be. The game having that kind of stuff would just make me care more in general.

But I want to keep sinking boats
>>135775172
I've killed 12 now while underlevelled before realizing their drops don't justify it yet, and you seriously shouldn't be getting caught by any of their stuns.
whats the difference between the Luck stat and investing energy into nodes
Anyone found a comfy grinding/fishing/whatever buddy yet?Sadly I've not

I've played a little with my guild but I still want to find a close friend I can do fun stuff with.
>>135775452
Does my gear have chance of dropping upon death? I read that somewhere, but all the info on that is over a year old by now.
Would you have sex with my character? I kind of want to draw porn of her...

>Russian cheaters the guild
Why are they even playing on EU when they got their own servers?
I can understand that some Russians wants to play on EU/NA client because the insane numbers of cheaters and such on the RU client, but these players are obviously not trying to escape that.
>no /vg/ on orwen

>>135776873
If yo aren't hype now then don't get it. It's nearly single player and there is very little you can do with friends (or at all) besides various types of grind. You can't even outfit your friends with equipment.
>>135776927
No
The durability bar uses the one of your equipped armor
>>135777021
It's the first MMO I've played where I regularly stop and just look around.
>>135776359
Comfy in the rain.
This game's story is confusing the hell out of me. It feels like there's shit I'm already supposed to know that it's not telling me during these main story quests.
>>135777749
Because you lost your memory. The Black Spirit knows.
You don't.
I'm pretty sure he just likes not filling you in on the details.

am i playing this game correctly?
>>135778121
1-50 takes 15 hours, so no you arent
>>135778121
Nopebut there is no correct way.
>>135778121
no ur supposed 2 grind to 50 in one day and then cry when you dont know what to do
Which class is the easiest to play?
Does it even fucking matter? Seems like there's nothing to fight.
>>135778265
>muh comfy
>>135778121
In case you didn't know, quests (almost) never give xp rewards. You get xp from killing things and doing professions.
So if you want to level up, kill stuff. There's a couple vids on best grinding spots 1-50 on jewtube.
>>135778403
I've played ranger, tamer, wizard, witch and sorc. Wizard was the comfiest and easiest one imo.

Hello anons. I'm going to use an appearance change to fix a stupid thing with the neck, I was also thinking of ditching the elf ears because they don't really fit. Is there any other details you think I should alter? Overall I'm pretty happy with the look.
I can give out a trial key too if you post email and decent criticism

you didnt post any contact info how are they even supposed to send it to you
>>135779825
I actually do have 2, but I would never give away to someone who doesn't post cute anime girls when begging.
And I'd also only give to someone who posts my waifu, which is very unlikely.

>>135779614
I've been trying to copy it exactly since it was posted. It's not easy
>>135779975
It's hard to tell from this angle but I would consider moving her eyes slightly closer together. I would also bring the nose down a little to lessen the distance between the mouth and the nose. Maybe widen the mouth slightly too, though again it's hard to tell from this angle if she needs that or not.
I like her though, and get a 30 day coupon if you're planning on buying one too.
