Just incase anyone is like me and misaed it, quest tracking by default is only for combat quests. That means other quest types like crafting and trading don't show up even if you talk to the quest giver.

You can change the tracking in the quest log with "o"

Wait, what?

You mean the quests don't even show up in the conversation menu? Because that would explain a lot, like where all the amity quests I should have unlocked are.

No, it's just the tutorial to start the gathering and production quest chain, but it doesn't seem to appear at all.

Solved it, there are buttons to hide/show quest givers of certain categories. So you need to check "Quest: All" to see them all, so even if they can give them, you won't be able to get them at all. Weird system.
 
I did some testing last night and I'm pretty sure that the daily pay per day for a 30 day contract is indeed 30K. This is based on the fact that it states a 7 day contract is 7K per day and I was able to collect 7K after midnight. The member has to manually collect this amount each day or it is forfeit for that day (daily pay does not accumulate). If anyone else can confirm, that would be great.

Based on our current member cap that would be1,050,000 silver a day if all members had 30 day contracts and collected daily. We could maintain this if we did all the guild quests daily but that might not be realistic. It might not also be fair for non contributing or low contributing members to receive the same amount of pay as those that spend lots of time and energy on actually completing the guild quests.

Just some thoughts as things are getting established.

Note:

For the one member that has a 30 day contract, I think I read that this can be updated after 3 days into the contract (terms can be changed?). If we want to change policy going forward or try and balance things out, the options would be to kick this member and re-add after 24 hours, wait for 2 more days and see if you can change their contract, or ask the member not to collect.

So is there a massive traffic jam (so to speak) in the game right now? As I understand it, mobs are an important part of leveling so I am wondering if there are enough to go around.

I haven't experienced that yet. Mobs respawn incredibly quick.
 
Does anyone here have a guestpass? I wanna buy the game but also make sure its for me.

EDIT: Sorry, I posted in the codebegging thread. I didn't realize there was one until now.
 
Since some people were wondering and since we don't have any 45s in the guild yet, I read somewhere that even if Guild War is declared, you still can't be attacked if you're not at least level 45.
 
Has anyone got the Steam Controller working for this? I got the game working with the Steam overlay fine and I can use the controller as a mouse pointer but it doesn't register mouse clicks for some reason so I can't get past the start screen.

Can the archer use beasts? Trying to figure out who to make while it downloads. Also, what's the key difference between the Wizard and Sorceress?

Yeah, for some unfathomable reason if you're not tracking the right type of quest it won't even show up when you talk to the quest giver.

Played for an hour, and holy shit this game throws a lot at you up front. Very confusing, and I'm an MMORPG veteran.

The combat system seems flashy, but I feel like I kill everything in one or two hits. It feels more like a Musou game than an MMORPG at this point. Still just level 10.

Nice looking game, though!

Where can I download this game and start playing? Looks awesome. Searched steam but couldn't find it. Fairly new to pc gaming so sorry if this is a stupid question.

Fair question. The first Google result for "Black Desert" is some fan site, at least for me.

The official site is here:

Sign up for an account and either purchase an access pack or get a guest code from someone.

Valve said they had planned on adding non-Steam games to the community so people could upload their Controller configurations.

I wonder if that has been implemented yet.

I've been playing with the Steam Controller since the beta test. Working fine here. Much better than an actual gamepad because you can use the mouse with it.

Yup, you can share non-Steam game configs now. I'll see about uploading mine once Steam stops being a jerk about the hour thing on community configs.

Here's what mine looks like right now.

Of things to note: I have auto run bound to V, not the emergency escape. The touch menu is hotbar + Emergency Escape + inventory. The Triggers are "Full Pull Actions" not Soft Pull, so that abilities that require both go off more reliably.

A lot of them dont show up when you import,for other games anyway...dont get me started on the Steam Controller lol...

I dont know how some of you got it working properly,like almost everything else,the 360 controller works better...but going through the menues and all with a controller is hell so I went back to good old k/m.

The game is a load of fun, thanks for the code Bikola!

Does the person that gives a guest pass get anything is the person who used the guest pass signs up?

Wait, you need a unique first and last name? so someone can't be named john smith and someone else john doe?

Right now everything has to be unique, sadly. I wish it was only family name. It's the reason why my witch isn't simply "Sophia" :<

You're welcome. Having played it for about 4 hours it's really really good. I'm loving it.....so far.

I'm not sure if I got anything but I don't think so. Yeh you're signed up and if you end up buying the game you can continue your character and won't lose any progression!

Really wanting to try this out. Saw that there's a tamer class and I'm getting flash backs to beast master in ffxi. :)


Its nothing like Beastmaster though. You get one pet only, a big wolf like beast, to help you. Its still fun though!


I did some trade earlier. Man, I love theres no fast travel, so much life on the roads. Players alone with their bag, with their donkeys, wagons... Its wonderful to just walk around and always see someone busy with their stuff.
