Kek, nice game
>>146951118
>>146951067
can anyone confirm?
>>146951035
IC is a shit guild, only join if you want to PvE.
Xth for Blade_at Honora is a vagina and runs from fights
>TRI liverto left and right
>no Kzarkas yet
So is gold in fact harder to enhance?
>>146952053
kzarkas are just hard to get
>>146952129
>tfw you have 5
Guess its time to get my alts weapon to TRI :^)
>>146952173
>tfw I can lie too
>>146952225
>he thinks that guy is lying
Dont you know level 58 more than a month ago, 5 Kzarka autist who says that he quit on a daily basis?
Cant force Kzarka or Boss Armor, nice shit system. Only Grunil etc. Fucks sake for being rich.
>>146952726
Why would you even consider forcing? You need an equivalent of 270m in stones to force +18
WaifuHunta is a meme guild
>>146952837
because rng is the worst thing in game, avoid as much as possible
>>146952894
>You have a 1 out of 4 chance to get to +18

WOW WONDER WHAT IS BETTER
>>146952998
Not everybody has 44 failstacks mate.
>>146953058
>You have a theorical 800% chance to succeed
>Better use the 100%!
>>146953290
chance stops at 100 idiot
there is not theoretical 800%
you don't add chances together
is there anyone on from baka that can invite?
>>146953438
whisper imkitingulul
I guess centaurs and cadry are for 58+
cause Im not even going near those as 54 zerk
>cant downgrade my items for FS on
Fucking Heidel river I swear to god.

LMAO
>lvl21
do I put points into few skills, or distribute between all?
>>146950265
>>146949947
I just hate being so immobile as a witch.
If someone runs at me with intent to kill I have to nigger up and fight to the death.
It's really making me consider going to plum or blader.
Witch Pros:
>lots of damage
>good in groups
>cozy and ranged
>bunch of utility
Cons:
>can be super dependent on other people

>>146953928
what class are you?
>>146954216
same for all classes
>>146954268
>>146953928
cant you still hop on your useless sorc alt, murder some horses and suicide few times?
>>146954367
The point is that there is nothing to fucking repair the pieces with. Markets are drained
>>146954468
what about your personal reblath?
Did anyone buy the arabic stripper outfit yet?
>>146954547
Yes.
>>146954547
Yes.
>>146953950
what class are you?
>>146954534
>reblath
>past fucking 15 fail stacks
Never worked for me.
>>146954575
>>146954583
Show some pictures!
>>146954620
I didn't take any, I just saw it around.
>>146954547
thats a yes

>Sorc not fixed
Nice game Daumtards
>>146954601
witch
>>146954620
No.
Did I miss a quest somewhere? I'm 52 and my black spirit is still a large creepy fucker, but I've heard at some point at the end of one of the missions he turns into a tiny cute bubble again.
>>146954920
>Sorcs are still pissed that they finally fixed sorcs so they're not godly anymore.
>every female class gets at least 2 new underwear
>except tamer which gets 0
>giants get more new cosmetic items than tamer
this patch is shit
>>146955024
Go to Tarif, that's where I eventually got the quest from.
>>146954920
Sorcs were fixed. They're actually balanced now.
I literally just failed to get PRI 5 times in a row. TOP FUCKING KEK
>>146954620
Looks kind of stupid
>>146956321
It'd be all right without the pants.
How much would it cost to buy enough gear to be able to PvE in Valencia? I'm a pure life skiller and have no gear, but got about 800mil in change
Wow, so you can't force enchant livertos? Is there a chance of downgrade when you enchant it pre 18+?
its lonely out here
>dont have mem frags to actually enhance my Tamer weapon
Fug
>>146956593
Yes
>>146956553
A lot more than you have if you're starting with basically nothing.
I would buy a +15 liverto if you can straight up. It's not worth it to enchant it yourself.
If you have life skills the Mano jewelry would probably be really easy for you to craft and enchant.
This is unbelievable. I just blew another 6 tries and no PRI. What the fuck is going on.
>>146956802
Bad luck.
>>146956648
RIP IC
You won't be missed.
>>146956961
>bad luck
I literally blew 21 stones to get my weapon to PRI always starting at 24 FS. This is utterly fucking ridiculous. Once again this game fuck me in the ass so goddamn hard.
>>146957028
>>146956961
>>146956802
>not just forcing it
ya blew it
>>146957320
>forcing
>Kzarka/Boss Armor
I wish I could cuck
When does the chance for the weapon/armor to delevel kick in?
Is it after 16+?
>>146957562
yeah, im pretty sure theres a 1% chance for it to just disapear too
>tfw all the /vg/ guilds are dead before node wars hit
>>146958053
Good riddance
>>146956374
if it didn't have the pants it would be the sileshi underwear
>>146958620
Indeed.
Hi yes akari des
how do I quit this shit game?
I can honestly say that this enhancement system makes me ridiculously mad, especially when taking the probabilities into consideration. The amount of money I blew isnt funny anymore.
I kind of like this new zone. I hope the city doesn't look shitty like Altinova does
so in valencia you either farm basilisks or basilisks or do hunting?
>>146959165
Basilisk or saunils
>>146951369
you can force base greens. not zarka/liverto
>>146959548
Yeah, I realized that as well. Unfortunately I only have one of those. Apart from my off hand, fuck enhancing that right now.
>>146954137
I would just get yourself a Yuria Blade, get it to +7 (at least, more if you want) and try out a Plum. Keep your Witch's gear in case you decide to go back/ you want to play it with friends or guildies, but armor and accessories can be swapped between characters. BDO is very alt friendly in this regard.
>>146951431
It is.trolleface
>>146959086
I wasnt mad when I deleted yet another +14 in certain korean game
why would you be mad for some silver loss in this game
Just read up on patch notes while having a smoke. So stoked to get back in and play. Have fun Bdog.
>>146960590
>stoked
it's nothing new
camels instead of horses, sand instead of trees
even the new grind area is just sausans 2.0
not worth coming back until node warsNEVER EVER
>>146960553
Because I needed 21 tries to get PRI when the supposed probability of success was 52.5% per attempt.
>>146961000
so what are you so mad about?
just go claim your TRI mos now
DUDE TRI KZARKA, fuck this game, only lucky nerds will win at this game.
>>146960736
Seems like fun to me. To each their own I suppose.
>>146958053
Pettan Co is still alive
>>146961591
>reddit EU guild
nice try kid
>>146961591
But everyone's nearly left already.
>>146960736
>not worth coming back until node wars
But node wars are here?
>>146961793
they were rehearsed
now nodesiegewars are being fixed and delayed until further notice
less relevant news
KR got feature where they can exchange 100 kzarka kills for weapon
and skill awakening system got scrapped and now you choose what you get or something
>>146961793
we got a practice week
now they are delayed with no date
so we're still locked out of 75% of the game and basically the entire reason to play
>>146953950
bumping this question
>>146961404
Know a guy who got TRI with 4 stones. Other guy I know blew 30 for 15 to DUO. Retarded system fucks people once again.
Epheria-ancado is now the best trade box transport route?
>>146963320
somewhere out there is guy who did PRI, DUO and TRI all with single stone
fyi pilgrims haven iron node also prints out rough black crystals
>am being told that Tamer is least played class
>50% of the TRI weapons that pop up are short swords
Ehem
>>146967032
that doesnt mean people actually play tamer
>>146967032
Shortsword is also the Ninja weapon so most people are probably gearing up for that.
>>146954948
Get lightning and residual lightning
those will be your bread and butter skills
the ice skills really only need 1 rank of each and t hey aren't a priority
fireball and fireball explosion are also useful to have
so is chain lightning its second ability
>>146960045
I have a 53 witch and a 50 plum but it's hard to get a feel for a class when all you really did is level it.
I'm sure witch fully geared is different than my experience now too.
>>146968878
alright thanks!
>nodes that print water
oh yes
>>146969475
Also just go look at the forums. Plenty of people have builds they post and while playing the class you'll get a feel for what is and isn't useful.
RIP all /vg/ guilds
you almost made it to the real content
>tfw havent even been in Valencia yet because theres nothing of value in part 1
>>146958861
i just quit and sold my account. free money for trading shitty shit shit
>>146972570
where'd you sell it?
post characters?
Tachikaze
>>146967032
least play != not played
the people who are still at the tamer are either idiots who are new, or real hardcore motherfuckers.
source: im a tamer
friend is trying to rope me into this shit, how's the PvP and is there a solid pvp healer class?
my favourite pvp in mmos is being the healer that no one notices or can't possibly beat 1v1 and they end up getting frustrated until I'm swarmed and eventually fall
>>146974518
There's no white mage.
>>146974556
well fuck, what's the most escapable / survivable then?
>>146974987
musa/maewha have infinite mobility but is squishy
valkryie is extremely tanky while being support oriented
>>146969008
I played Tamer up until the Musa/ Plum came out. It was fun learning a new class, but now I'm super rusty on my Tamer. They all take some getting used to. Just try out classes you're interested in, get some friends to arena you or something and see what you like.
>>146974518
>can't possibly beat 1v1 and they end up getting frustrated
Literally Valk
Why cant I just delete my old main and put all his EXP on my alt? CBA starting over even though having a 58.5 char already.
>>146978058
Welcome to BDO goy
>>146978180
I would even pay for it to be honest.
>>146978247
>100 dollars for a class change
they would make millions
>>146954137
Get a fucking horse. That solves all the mobility issues.
Hot damn dude, a Witch on horseback is a lethal opponent in the right hands.
>>146977405
how come everyone says Tamer is unbeatable 1v1 then?
>>146979780
Probably because people are retarded and run into stagger all the time.
>>146979780
Now that Sorcs hit like wet noodles Rnagers and Wizards need a new class to complain about. Tamer is the only semi counter to them, which isnt even remotely as much of a counter as Sorc though. If I had to guess I'd say that this is where this myth comes from: your average butthurt degenerate Wizard/Ranger player.
now that good players have 200 ap what am I going to do with my 130?
>>146980697
Pray for good RNG so you can ketchup.
>>146969475
Don't waste skill points on the fireball until you're in your 40-50's. You should invest in the fireball explosion rather as that's far more effective.
All lightning skills are worth investing into right off the bat.
>boss whale spawn
somehow I got the feel that its going to take 1hr+ to kill since no one has hunting
>>146982256
How are you even supposed to find it?
>>146982641
you wait for someone else to spot it
Musa looks fun, how much do they suck?
>>146982907
fairly alot compared to other classes. Currently they are in the bottom tier class list
Is this game worth playing for someone like me? I just want to be able to get a character or two to max level and PvP all day. I only want to PvE if I have to for better gear.
>>146983295
Whats your gaming time window? if you play less then 6hours everyday you will end up worse then mediocre in both pve and pvp. black desert requires dedication and atleast 7h+ play time everyday to actualy be able to compete in pvp.
>>146983295
Honestly, no. You'll have to do a shitload of PvE and put a huge amount of time in to reach a point where you'll be competitive.
>>146983439
Okay, guess I'll go back to Guild Wars 2. Can't stand the aids that is BnS and no other MMO has decent PvP that I know of :(
>>146983295
Gw2 is the type of mmo u want to play. U can jump right into pvp after character creation
>>146983704
Whats wrong with BnS? I havent played it myself yet but was considering it.
>>146983719
Yeah I have payed GW2 since beta, just getting a little burnt out
>>146983295
just play Ranger and farm world bosses, everyone else doesn't play Ranger and is mad because "muh gear grind"
>>146983871
Honestly mate im also a gw2 veteran since launch and i have completed all the content up to HoT and with gliding in gw2 being so smooth no other mmos compare. Im kind of tired of Bdo since it requires massive dedication and i have a full time job. My advice wait for new mmos coming the next year or so and play gw2 til then.
>>146983869
The bots (literally have to block and report 50+ people a day to keep my chat and friend requests clean) plus I get constant FPS drops even when playing on low (going from 100+fps to 30fps randomly). Not to mention the combat feels so clunky when they lock you into random animations and skills not going off properly (probably due to random fps drops)
>tfw when all the EU /vg/ guilds are dead now.
so what class is viable but not FOTM like ranger or wizard?
>>146984409Sardine isn't
>>146986515Shhh, they don't need to know.
>>146986515
>>146986805
spoilers... misuse... please...
I just started this game
What the dick do I do
What the fuck do I do
I have no sense or semblance of an idea of what to do
>>146986971
GIT GUD
>>146986875
>spoilers used to hide information
>intention of hiding the information on the post
>spoiler misuse
???????
>>146987132
Not him, but that's not what spoiler tags are for. The clue is in the name.
Daily reminder Sardine is a guild that will shitpost about you, and then lie right to your face when confronted about it
>>146987592
catfag was probably right about them being bullies
After asking lastnight i bought a guestpass. But i am now completely lost in the game. And the general chat isnt helping either.
Is there a good tutorial somewhere?
>>146987938
rip catfag
what's the difference between a sorceress and a wizard / witch? which one is more guild pvp viable?
>7 fails trying to get TRI
I am done with this shit. The game literally turned me from one of the richer people on the server into someone who is broke without a TRI main hand. Meanwhile other people just cruise to 3-4 Main Hand/Boss Armor TRIs easily.
>>146988046
Summon the spirit and press guide. It's not perfect, but it'll offer various quest options where you'll get the basics of just about every mechanic. Those not included are introduced later into the game through the spirit's quests. The only thing never taught to you directly is Skill Awakening which you won't get until really late.
Also open your quest journal and select All. That'll give you the tutorial quests for Node management and a few others, too
>>146988395
what happened?
>>146988865
she died irl
They really need to do something about this shitty RNG. The difference between being unlucky and lucky was fine before this update, but 16+ is so utterly retarded its not even funny. Some people spend 20m for TRI, others need 500m for DUO and fail like 10 times on TRI with way past capped stacks.
How do you get inside those named Villas in the Valencia area?
>>146988548
I cant select quest type till lvl 20, so thats out the window. Now lvl 15 and i am completely lost.
>>146991597
I wish to know as well.
Before this patch hit, how much could you make per hour grinding sausages or pirates?
Are Wizards good at PvP and PvE? Looks like them and Rangers are the best from what I'm reading. How do they do in small skirmishes, not just the big GvG stuff?
>>146991650
do you have some form of mental retardation? Literally everything needs a tutorial for children these days. Press O, there's your quest log
press "," there's your black spirit to give you main story quests
neither of those do anything for you?
leveling from 15 to 20 should take you legit 40 seconds by killing mob around you
>>146991650
For now, just do the quests you can, talk to people to register them in your knowledge, check the spirit's guide section and level up by killing things. Remember to select All at 20, then check back in Velia. The guide still includes basic tutorials for things like Processing, Cooking, Trading and Gathering. As soon as you select whatever you're interested in learning more about, finish the dialogue within the option and then press T, it'll autopath you to the NPC with the quest(s)
Can everyone see my Family Name or just me? When do I pick that?
Just about to start playing.
>>146992864
Everyone will see it.
<Title>
Family Name
Character Name
>>146992723
Sorry i dont have the autism required to play this horrible game.
>>146991867
I think this is the best one I've found so far
but I also have no idea how to get inside
It's got some comfy hang out spots up top with cushions
so has musa been buffed to be not-shit or has ninja been released yet?
>walking through valencia unlocking all the nodes
>some random no lifer 56+ instantly kills me out of the blue
and this game has gone to shit, he two shot me when i was in +15 armor.
+20 was the worst thing this game ever did
>>146996918
Some of the nodes cost 5cp to invest in. whyyyyyy
>>146996918
do you mean 57+ ?
because 56 is really easy to get to
>>146996918
remember this is a hardcore PvP game
>>146996918
>they have no life when they kill me
>I'm the superior player when I kill them
typical casual faggots
This game is shit now. Unless you're willing to pay for money you're going to fall behind.
The leader of my guild has spent like $500 to get upgrade mats and is currently at TRI on his liverto staff
>>146998745
how'd he do that?
dyes are dropping in price
>>146999371
idk, I don't buy gold and I don';t plan to. After this next upcoming guild wars if I see myself getting instant killed despite being in what was great gear pre-patch i'll probably just sell my account.
Do you guys think Bless Online will kill BDO?
>>147002072
if it's not coming out within a few months i don't want to hear about it
>>147002072
that looks like garbage
>>147002072
>Wow combat
>Only redeeming quality is porn in cutscenes
No.
>>147002072
Riders of Icarus will kill BDO.Obviously kidding, but the mount combat does look fun as a side F2P game

>has never played WoW
No.

>>147002650

Flashy effects doesn't make it """""action""""" combat
>>147002775
>WoW with dodging
Okay.
>>147002963
Ok?
>>146988865
No longer a cat or a fag either.
Someone hype me up to log in and play. I've lost all motivation and can't find any other MMO that's even worth trying.
could you imagine if this game didn't have all the bullshit RNG?
I want to love this game so much but this patch makes it even more difficult to continue playing knowing I'll get stomped in pvp unless i tri my liverto and my ulti armor
>>146954137
>not knocking someone down, teleporting behind them, and prison shanking them with a maxed static shiv for 10,000,000,000% damage
It's like you haven't figured out that wizard/witch is a melee class in disguise.
>>146992069
sausans in a decent group, ~4m per hour
pirates solo with good stats, ~6m per hour
>get sunstroke
>get purified water
>drink it
>30s later get sunstroke again
What a fucking horrible game mechanic.
Do we have access to this town? or is this in a future update?
I haven't made my way over to Valencia...it's slow moving around all these high level mobs and mountains
>>147008389
No, the map cuts off right as you enter that green forest.
It'll be in Part 2 I guess...
>>147008484
fuck. I wanted coconuts in this update
Cunt
Well GL guys I'm fucking done RNG has killed me I quit. Gonna get some hacks and a bot and fuck around till they ban me
I'm sorry lads but this update sucks.
I've now finished exploring all the nodes in valencia that we have and it's just boring.
There's no reason to ever want to go in the desert sort of a boss which likely isn't even in our version yet that will reward the top 10% anyway while the remaining 90% continue to get out geared, out grinded, and out played.
The entire game continues to reward the top 10% and furthers the gap between them and the 90%, it's a horrible system made to appease some autitist NEETs or people who pay real life money for items.
I saw a great video the other day speaking about how shit BDO has gone and I can't say I disagree anymore. It's worst, especially now with +20 and people are allowed to pay their way to never lose enchantments if they have enough gold while the poor will get out geared and RNGed
>>147011142
>not selling your account for hundreds
Why are people so surprised than a RNG game update has more RNG?
>>147011142
>>147011404
Samefag. Also that reference to the reddit video was an obvious bait.
>>147011749
Im not a samefag and the leddit video can be reddit as much as it wants, that doesn't stop the truth of it.
Stay in denial idiot, oh wait you're probably one of the 10% so of course you don't want to realize how shitty the game is setup.
>>147011691
This is my first game where RNG is like a huge fucking wall blocking me from fun and no amount of skill can get me over said wall
>>147012270
this desu
not letting me enjoy the only part of the game i want to play and that's pvp
>>147012270
>>147012403
It's been like this from day one. It's been like this for however long the KR version has existed. I'm not saying it's fine just that there has been no reason to expect anything different.
>>147012606
because it's pretty fucking easy to get all +15s and some decent accessories
now all the rich people are boosted way further and can 1 shot me even though this gear was perfectly fine yesterday
>>147012606
You are correct I'm just sort of in denial rn this game could have been so good. I remember when I first watched gameplay and thought holy shit finally an MMO with skill based pvp. Boy was I wrong.
>>147012825
not too late to play BnS :)
>>147012880
I tried that game before bdo came out.
It's really bad desu
Funny part is Koreans don't even like this game it's been doing shit for the past year and half
>>147012880
>RNG the game to upgrade your weapon
nice, same shit worse comabt and graphics
>>146951592
Like to see proof of this, I'm in baka and every time I did anything to him he always stopped and fought me.
>>146967032
All of the Sorcs rerolled to Tamer because Tamer is objectively better at everything the broken Sorc can do.
Should I exchange these guys? I've already got a tier 7 with all the best possible skills. The exchange chance is 30% for another tier 7, but holy shit those skills combined are worth 30 million godamn shekels.
>>147017456
What class is the mostfun?
>>147018048
Wizard on horseback.
Got a buddy playing a Berzerker, any classes pair particularly well with that?
>>147019201
?
this is a single player game

But we used a mod so we could play together on LAN.
anyone else noticed their lantern lighting being really wonky?
and seemingly turning off at random?
>>147022585
Yep. I think of it as a flickering flame, though. I kind of like how it's not completely reliable.

blade please stop trying
So now that we have hunting in the game...how do we level it?
I've been shooting crocs with the contribution rifle since i'm not high enough to use a crafted one
and I can't tell if I'm even doing any damage to it. I've gone through 8 NPC rifles and haven't noticed anything

>IC can't handle that people actually like me
Tip top kek, keep trying though guys. One day y'all might be good.
>>147030819
go shoot whales
>>147032849
if i can't even kill a croc, which is like 2 feet from an NPC with the rifle rental
why would i be able to kill a whale in only 10 shots?
>>147027814
Why did you respond to him you idiot.
I quit today too.
But not because I have a problem with the newest update or RNG or because I didn't like something. BDO is a great game, but I simply played too much of it and got bored. I'm aware most here don't care, I just wanted to make a post to counter these complain-ragequitters.
Now, see you all later, hopefully.
