I had that for a while, same as hotkey bindings resetting.
It may be a bug.
For the graphics, click the setting icon in the main launcher and change some stuff there and see if that helps keep the high setting saved in game.

Any decent guides to set it up, and get BDO to attach to Steam properly? Are people emulating the 360 controller setup, or mapping keyboard controls to the pad?
Yeah that's most likely it. I'm sure this kind of stuff will be ironed out before long.
This was my starting point earlier this morning:
https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/48rwni/the_steam_controller_thread/
Goes through how to add it to Steam to get the overlay working and also shows a button config. But really just I downloaded the most popular community one on Steam for the game and altered that to my liking.

You're right, I was on the wrong server!
Fixed.

So yeah, if anyone can send me an EU Guild invite, I'd appreciate it.
Gotta look for the wheat through the chaff.
I tried mapping gamepad controls and didn't like it one bit, so I switched over to a pure KB/M configuration. Works like a charm now, and I could play the whole game on controller in theory.
My configuration should be up on Steam now, if anyone wishes to see it. Make sure your shortcut is named "Black Desert Online" in Steam.
Well, in my attempt to manage my inventory more I tried to use the auto transport function to move some items I'm not using yet to another town... and they disappeared? Maybe it's just a bug in the display, but they're no longer showing as being transported and the destination town has nothing in it. I read that function is immune to bandit attacks, but maybe it's not? I never got a message about anything happening to them, anyway.
If I can't transport things between towns safely I might just stop playing. I don't think I can deal with the extreme inventory limits when the game throws so many ingredients at you for life quests. Not to mention the annoying oversights when it comes to the inventory. I guess I could just grind it out until 50 and then go back and do crafting once I have more inventory space, but unless I can safely transport goods between towns automatically I'll really start to get irritated eventually.
EDIT: And literally right as I finish typing that I get a message transport is complete. Guess it really was a display bug with the UI. Annoying that /reloadui didn't fix it, but at least my stuff didn't poof out of assistance.

I'd love a Guild invite too if theres any space!

I am going to try this again,thanks.
UI has some big issues right now.
Earlier I was trying to make a worker to do some crafting. Even though the UI showed he was idle, I couldnt make him work on anything because it told him he was already working. Relogging showed me he was gathering (something that didnt shown before). So yeah, sometimes the game fucks up.
I don't know what I'm doing yet but I love this game already. I can only imagine what it's like for those with high end gfx cards. Oh... how do I fish? I have a fishing rod and I see others fishing, but I don't see a prompt. Also, is there any reason to buy property, especially at the beginning of the game? Seems like something I might regret doing.
Equip it, move to the water, press space. Press space when you catch a fish, then press space again inside the blue part of the bar. Then play a WASD minigame of repeat the code.
Move to the water first, then equip your fishing rod. You move awkwardly with the rod equipped. >.<;
GAF Guild fishing our hearts out for a fish that doesn't seem to want to drop.
Edit: NATURALLY AFTER I SAY THIS WE GET THREE OF THEM -.-;

Man, that just doesn't sound right. Do they not let you edit payment separate from time?
IDK if you're cancelling contracts, but it'll be midnight UTC in about an hour. We'll see definite proof of this contract business. That would definitely suck if we can't set longer times.

If for some reason you can't get ahold of me in game (because I'm afk fishing or whatever) then you can also direct message me on the Discord channel. Pretty much a guaranteed way of ensuring I get back to you, and get you invited if there is a slot available.
First thing I do tomorrow morning

I don't think I've ever had the "knowledge" to talk to NPCs and I have no idea how to "get knowledge."
This game.... it's not very intuitive =(
This game.... it's not very intuitive =(
Put simply, you get knowledge for anything you do. Talking to an NPC for the first time gets you knowledge. Exploring places gets you knowledge. Killing an enemy enough times gets you knowledge. And so forth and so forth. All this knowledge is shared across characters on your account too, so there's no need to re-obtain it on each alt. In regards to NPC specifically, once you've obtained enough knowledge about a particular subject (for example, merchants may be interested in the other merchants in the city you're in. So talk to all of them to get it.) you can start the conversation minigame with them to learn even more stuff. If you can't start the conversation minigame, or an NPC wants specific information before you can even engage them, then it'll tell you what they're looking for.
You have to talk to other NPCs to unlock some of them, or complete quests.
Knowledge is... knowledge of NPCs, monsters, places that you see and unlock as you go.
The game has a lot of systems that you have to learn, but once you do everything makes perfect sense.
It just requires some brain effort for a couple of days to understand things.
I thought that just meant they have a quest for you? I was under the impression that the ones marked with a "?" on the mini-map are the ones you haven't talked to yet and would typically grant you the first-time talk knowledge.

Sent whispers to both. You will need to reply back with a whisper so I can get to the context menu that will let me send the invite.

Only 2 spots left atm!
Whisper me once more! So sorry!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there anyway to extend environmental and shadow pop-in? Game is beautiful, but this is distracting as hell. I have everything maxxed and this just doesn't seem right. =/
The game has those issues, apparently it's innate with the engine they created. The only thing that somewhat relieves, granted not by much though, is enabling high-end game mode in the settings. Hope that helps!

Thanks - I'll give that a try!

Sent you whisper but it said you were offline. If you can send another that would perfect!

So this seems odd and janky - I'm not used to Korean MMO's or something. Like I'm reading quest text and people are saying shit that has nothing to do with the quest text and it's like sensory overload or something.
First thing I do tomorrow morning
Already taken care of. :b

Theres a fun game hidden under a ton of jank and awful interface.
Depends on what you hate about most MMOs. There is a bit of grinding, but it's not like low level quest style grinding in other games. Quests in this don't even give traditional experience; you get other rewards that make them worthwhile. There's also a huge variety of quests. Quests for combat are there, of course. But there's also quests for exploration, tradeskills, gathering. We just completed a guild quest to gather tons of logs from trees and were rewarded with a ton of money, for example. Many players opt to skip doing quests entirely, and simply go find the hardest things they can to grind for their levels. A lot of what you earn is shared across alts too.
As for the combat.... even one of the slowest classes in the game, Wizard/Witch, is still significantly faster than most MMOs. The speedier classes are really fast, and it's akin to a fighting game.
