Does anyone know if you can transport your boats between docks without sailing them manually?

You could maybe bring it out of whatever dock it's currently at, go to the dock you want it to be at and use remote collection?
edit: nvm, that only collects it to the closest dock

havn't played Blade & souls, but it feels more akin to Tera, being more fluid then guildwars

I'm not that far into this game yet but so far I haven't really made up my mind on this game. The combat is hands down the best MMO combat by far. It beats most single player RPGs as well.

Everything else seems jank as fuck. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing yet, I haven't gotten to the crafting.

This game does have that old school "I dont' know wtf is going on" type of feeling which I like. Makes me want to keep playing to figure things out. I'm just not sure if my interest in the game will sustain me past this learning phase.

NA servers were hammered last night, this game seems to be doing well which is surprising because I had never heard of it except on gaf.

If there is room in the EU guild, I'd like to join. But I am not playing too much at the moment, if that is a problem.

There's a seemingly deep and fun game underneath the jank and badly laid out UI. I agree with you on the combat, love the combo-based system they have got going. This is what a "WoW 2" needs to have to be interesting to me.

It's also by far the most crowded MMO I've played in recent years. I don't think I've seen such crowded cities since the heyday of WoW.

 

[Baleoce]

The combat is hands down the best MMO combat by far..

Yeah it's the most appealing thing to me about the game as well. The lack of targeting kind of facilitates this, but the combat, and the feel of combos etc is so nice. Makes it easier to use controller with this game as well. I love to just turn the UI off with Ctrl+U and just go around smacking things, auto running to objectives. makes the world feel more organic.

I can live with janky UI, poor translation and horrible voice acting, but what really pisses me off about this game is a complete lack of any character customization besides the character creator. I mean I can choose the color of my characters' hair tips and the shape of their lenses during character creation, but once ingame I can only wear potato sacks, potato sacks with a tiny armor plate on them or one of the 3 (horribly overpriced and ugly) costumes which don't even make my character look unique because everyone else is wearing them. It's not enough to dissuade me from the good yet, like combat, in-depth crafting and general immersion of the world, but I can see that growing into a bigger problem the further I progress.

exactly how I feel about this game

even the free weapon skin I got doesn't really change all that much from what weapon i'm wearing, it looks REALLY similar to any other weapon and hell I would not pay money for it

likewise, i'm still having fun with the game, since the game mechanics are really good, but I really want my character to look different without having to spend 30bucks on a skin for one character :/

 

[Keasar]

So when and how will we get those fancy awakening weapons? I am ready to go Berserk with my warrior.

 

[junk]

Haaa... Woke up to 20 activation emails. It's on like donkey kong. So like, are all the classes listed in the wiki available already? And can I be a male ranger or a female ninja?

[NegativeCero]

Alright, this thread has convinced me to try this out. Is there an official guest pass request for GAF users? If anyone happens to have an extra, I would appreciate it (NA region).

Also out of curiosity, which package did most people buy ($30 or $50) and did it make a difference for you?

Traveler's package should suffice. You could buy a donkey/horse pretty easily and even catch one if you want. Save the 20 bones for those fancy armors/clothes.

I got the 50 pack just for convenience. Horse Flute + pet.

You get two donkeys just by questing and a basic tier 1 horse is dirt cheap

escort quests are legit the worst in this game

Spoiler

pretty much every game ever too

if you want me to pay 30 bucks for an outfit then you should atleast give me an outfit that isn't plain as fuck (Tamer)

I got the Explorer pack. I would honestly get the Travelers pack+the pearls for a costume and pet, or even save the money if you don't care about the costume.

Yeah the Tamer outfits both stink, saves me some dough tho

And there is only 1 decent Cash Shop constume for Tamer. Shame as it is my fav class, but the clothing options just suck!

When doing escort quests press Q to crouch than T for autowalk. Your character will walk slower so the NPC following you will not get lost.

I did this and it took so long the npc like despawned before I made it back on one of them.... promptly dropped that quest and didn't look back. Sometimes the npcs can stay with me no matter how fast I go, but if normal autowalk speed is too fast I won't bother as it's far too tedious.

 

[notworksafe]

The escort quests get so boring that even the Black Spirit got tired of that shit and asked me to just sell the dude into slavery.

If I can I just pick up a trade pack and take it along, your speed is fine then and you're training your strength (weight limit) at the same time. Depends where you start of course

 

[Isomac]

Ooh, somehow I missed this game has 30€ pack too. Hmm, that is quite tempting price.

 

[BebopMcJigglypuff]

So... I was trying this out to level my strength, do you know if it matters how close I am to the weight limit or if being over helps? Because sweet baby jesus, an hour of walking like a turtle, killing time for my friend to catch up in levels, and i gained maybe 1.2 levels... which amounted to +1 weight capacity... I'd almost be willing to just drop the 30 dollars on the paid weight increase if that's the kind of gains I can expect.

 

[Ferr986]

I honestly don't remember any escort quest other than the really short one from the farm to Velia.

Guess I'm still missing a lot but man, after a week I'm still overwhelmed lol

 

[Elandyll]

NA? EU?

Sorry, NA

 

[Baleoce]

Like, it seems impossible to co-ordinate quests with my friend unless we literally sync everything we do. Any tips? Any UI things to check that would make this easier to accomplish?

 

[Freeman76]

Great game, kind of wish i hadnt ordered the division now as my weeks trial for this is up on Thursday and i want to get as far as possible so i can make sure the 'new game shine' doesnt look like wearing off.

A lot of the characters I see in this game have that spray tanned look.

Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing!

I've heard some criticism about costume options and gearing in the game. Is what you`re wearing in that pic available in game or did you have to buy that with real money?

Edit > Finally got my confirm email too. Looking forward to starting the process of creating my character. Anyone play a Valkyrie? Looks pretty interesting.

Man, this looks amazing and everything I want a MMORPG to be...buuuut, I don't think my laptop is good enough to run it

 

[Kalentan]

So maybe it was placebo, but when I logged on to Black Desert on my laptop, it seemed like the missing effects on my desktop version where there... If so, I'm wondering if I should just reinstall on Desktop or something. Unless there is a repair option?

 

[Phloxy]

I'm trying to gift my friend an outfit..but it keeps saying item restricted. Any idea how to fix it?

Is it possible to grind for currency to buy cosmetics? Or are there acquirable outfits in-game from bosses or quests? If not and we're stuck with the same threads forever that would be pretty awful.

I thought I read there were costumes you could craft, is this not the case?

oh, did not know that.

I hate to sound like a beggar (I know, I know! &#128532 but does anyone has a spare NA guest pass? I want to try the game and see how the performance is on my laptop before committing to buying. Thanks in advance!
