Black Desert Online |OT| Come on in, the sand's fine [Mediah Update]

Just an FYI that most probably already know but just in case.

When selecting the high settings in the launcher is doesn't stick and apply to the in-game setting for textures and seems to default to medium.

Definitely click on high and apply, the difference is quite nice.

A few other settings worth trying for performance, turning off other players lanterns, effects and/or their pets.

It helped the overall with the pop-in for me.

And it's great to see filters in the game, basically giving you a built in Sweetfx.
 
Made a character on Orwen Calpheon 1

Name: Lelianaa
Family Name: Vanderburg

When you get the guild up and running please invite me :). Looking forward to playing with everyone. Also all of you feel free to add me to friends as well.

Got a friend code from a buddy of mine. Figured I may as well kick the tires on this since I play every damn thing else.

After getting used to the controls, I've been playing this game like 90% of the time in no UI mode xD 'T' makes that so much easier to stay in. |t's really nice.
 
Whats the benefit of making multiple characters on the same Family Name?

Should I go and get this done now or don't worry about it yet.

Fresh code here!
Both '#' are the same number, and it's my favorite one. Try your luck.

And where are the guilds at?

Character creation tool doesn't feel quite as flexible as I'd imagined.

The issue is that some options are too closed for certain classes or genders.

IE - Wizards can't be "young" because every-single face has wrinkles that you can't get rid of, Berserkers can't be small, most male hair options can't be changed like female (IE you get no options to "move hair" around and make it long/short like the female hair, you only ge ta simple slider for making certain areas short/long (and no where near the length of female hair).

Apart from these it's fairly good, just takes time to figure out how to work things and manipulate the face features.


I suggest for anyone who is having trouble making a character to try and find a good template you like and then work off of it:

Is the cash shop working yet? I spent $10 on daum cash on the website, but in game it keeps saying "failed to request daum cash" :/

All characters share the same max energy and separate energy pools so you can use them to invest energy into nodes. They can also be used to help with various things like leaving them at storage facilities or near farms to take care of insects etc.

Had this earlier. Switch channels and your cash should show up!
For example, while in game go to the switch channel option in the disconnect menu. Click a new one to transfer to, and boom, you should be set.

Yep^

I have one alt just sitting at home all the time that I can just switch to so I can cook up some Beer whenever my workers are low on energy. Saves a lot of time.

Oh gotcha thanks for the reply, If I do this would it be ok to just leave them at level 1? Or do I need to level them up to invest them into nodes etc.

Wanna focus on my main character now obviously, but I don't mind making extra characters for the benefits.

So I have a Witch, Valkyrie, and Ranger..
I've tried out mounted combat for all 3 of them. The first two sucked, Ranger though.. mounted archery is fucking awesome. Much easier to control her combos that way too.

You could but I would recommend rushing through the tutorials and getting a few levels. You can hit level 9-10 in like 15 minutes or less. You can't use the fast character switching system until they reach a little higher level.

I only see six classes at character creation? No ninja or anything. What's up with that?

Ninja/Kunoichi and Blade/Plum will be added in later updates. :(
 
So would you guys recommend just jumping in, or should I check out a beginner's guide of sorts?

I'm worried I'm going to become overwhelmed or just not know what to do.
 
I just noticed that the outfit pieces from the cash shop have stats on them. Was it like this in CBT2?

Valkyrie set for example has: Amity Gain + 10%, Death Penalty -10%, Combat XP +10%, Vision Range 10m, Jump Height .5m
