I submit "So, quest who I bumped into today" for OT title.

I'm definitely not in MMO shape, it's as if the game is still in Korean for me but I'm trying.

I'm liking the alt system in this game.

Everything is shared basically but your level and gear doesn't have a level requirement, plus the fact that you can level super quick if you grind. There's no reason to not have alts.

Dang, I kept trying to add you guys and it said "Cannot find character" and I figured that list was for the EU guild :(.

Would like an invite when one is available.

I'm going to guess guild membership will already be at the cap once my one-day ban from our mad scramble for guild points is done. lol

I hope my afk fishing results in more gold-ranked fish when I get home from work.

So is there a limit on level exp range?

Like... Is it possible when leveling an alt with a friend, for them to bring my lowbie to a higher level zone and they kill enemies? Or will it just not give me any exp?

We're at cap again. :(

Will need to do some more quests to expand.

I'm surprised this many people are actually playing. The closed beta threads weren't as active so I just expected a small group of gaffers. Maybe we'll be able to do some of the Guild castle sieges/node wars next month.

CBT1 thread was super dead, and CBT2 thread wasn't much better. This is surprising in a good way! The question is how long will many of these members last in this game.

The game practically demands alts for the extra energy it sounds like.

Some recommended uses for alts and their energy pools:
-Brewery: Grab materials to make beer from storage and the NPC that sells mineral water, sugar, and unleavened agents. Process the beer in your residence and feed your workers.
-Human Resources: Spend energy to only hire high-tiered workers.
-Conversationalist: Spend energy to reach high amity requirements with NPCs, including the gold-tier workers that require 500 amity.

There was basically 0 marketing and media coverage for this leading up to launch. The game is good so word of mouth is going to really help pick things up. Every single channel in Orwen is Overrun right now.

Good to know just need to figure out how to do all of this haha. I'm still trying to learn everything. Also, hope I can get into the guild next time slots are open. Gonna keep an eye out next time the guild has slots.

Is the cat on the roof quest bugged? I Wanted a pet :(, did the quest, turned it in and the voucher it says you get didn't show up in my inventory.
 
Is there a way to see all of the free camera controls?

Best I've managed to find is a way to pan it left\right, and up\down. No way to move it forward\backward?
 
What's the fastest way to get a fishing pole and a boat, sail away and live as a hermit on an island? It's hard to get through the intro quests. Is it very far in?

Nah it's pretty early in, once you reach Velia (the second town). Just go by the boat docks and you can start some fishing quests there.

Awesome thanks. Trying to find a class I like but it just sucks they are tied to certain appearances.

One more question. I activated the extra items like the pet, mount, etc. How do I redeem them in game?

Takes up to 24 hours and it shows up in your mail I'm pretty sure. I just activated my stuff like an hour ago and that's what it said lol.

How are the controls for this? It occurred to me that as awesome as the action looks, it looks like it would be better played w/ a controller. Does it support controllers, or am I going to have to learn how to move in 3D with a kb/mouse (I'm totally new to modern PC gaming)?
 
Had to take a couple days off this game after pissing me off the first time I played this game, and came back today to try it again and I get this........................

Hm is there a better place to level as a valk than Khurutos at 32? It feels pretty slow, but see it in leveling guides from 32-36, I cant imagine 3 more levels of this here. Am I just gonna have to tough it out?
 
When the game loads, I can't move my character. In fact, my keyboard doesn't seem to work at all, other than the Windows and alt+tab which is the only way I can even exit the game at that point (esc does nothing).

It just keeps telling me "press <> to move forward." But nothing works. My mouse works in rotating the screen, but that's it.

It's a wireless Logitech keyboard, but it's never had any problems with other games before. Is there a way to bind controls? All I see are graphic/sound options in the main menu.

I must've missed something but can someone let me know why I was kicked out of the guild?

I'm guessing there's some really small player limit for them or something?

I got this problem when I made a 2nd character, I found out that you gotta delete your UserCache folder which is located in Users/yourname/Documents/BlackDesert. Should work after that.

From what I heard it's All-Hands-on-Deck for everyone to be working towards raising the guild rank. So, anyone who isn't actively working on that is getting kicked.

Yeah, Guild contribution is listed on the UI so everyone's kind of working towards that. Nobody's permanently kicked tho. We're trying to make room for everyone. ><;

I'd like to get in on the NA GAF guild if there's room. Leveling a sorceress for now, and very much enjoying the combat.

QUESTION: Anybody else have this issue with the stable where you "recover" your horse and it puts your horse's HP down to 1 instead of, you know, actually recovering it like it should?

Huh. Alright then. I was gone for like a day so I guess I understand. I guess there is a size limit in place. I'll just wait until the limit is raised or something since I can't be around as often as is needed.
 
Ashooooodin. Completing guild quests but people's contracts are expiring. it looks like most of us only had 1 day contracts. I think you might be the only one that can renew.

Edit: Actually might be some kind of cooldown based on the tooltip.

Edit 2: Ishiori is saying he can renew general members but not officers so that might be the problem. I guess only the GM can renew officers.

Ishiori is me, lol. XD

But yeah, I can renew all the regular members, but not Ash or the other officers. I'm not touching it tho, leaving it up to him.

I just got back, so I'll renew officers for the week.

I'd like to ask for everyone's patience on the guild matters; this type of guild is entirely new to me (never had to deal with increasing caps in this way) plus the contract thing is also a very new concept.

I'm getting the hang of things, so things should go smoother as we move along. Thank you.

There is a level of complexity to this I have never seen in a MMO. It's pretty awesome actually.

After some deliberation (and bad translations) I think it's good to start giving contracts for a month for guild members; I'm going to give everyone who joins today a week one, and next week when it expires, everyone gets a month one.
 
That worked. Thanks.

Yup no problem :)

Sounds like a plan, when you have slots I'd love to join. Main character is only lvl 15 right now, been investing into nodes and workers and doing a little fishing on the side. I'll do anything to help for the guild and I plan on playing this game for a while.

Fantastic, I am stuck with a family name I don't want. Support says there is a family name change coupon in the cash shop but I don't see it there.
