Daum should just put out a free day or two trial on their website, seems like there's not enough codes for those who have geniune interest in the game

 

[tci]

Damn, I am weak. I bought the traveler's pack. Might join the EU guild later. First I will probably use the char creator for hours.. lol

 

[scotcheggz]

Lmao at that fishing set, looks like another fucking potatoes sack and that's why I hate fucking cash shops.. Swiping a credit card isn't satisfying or fun. Give me something that looks good to work for BDO!

 

[zonezeus]

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.

Supposedly there are unique sets you can get from world bosses and high-level crafting, but these are all pretty much endgame content at the moment. Worse still, the whole customization system is rubbish - you can't use standard gear as costumes so the only way to mix and match your appearance is with actually wearing all the specific pieces you want, sacrificing stats and set bonuses. It could've been salvaged with dyes, but the dye system is also a joke - you can only purchase dyes with real money, you get a random color and each dye is one-time use only. As someone who always enjoyed the hell out of customization in other MMOs this is really a bummer for me.

Pets are dope.

Hunger is not dope.

"I'll cook some good pet food, it'll be easy." I thought.

It took my workers 17 hours to make a raft. This is after i found out HOW to make arafy, which took some time on its own.

Once you get rolling, crafting becomes pretty easy. Just gathering the mats is the time consuming part. I'm making a bunch of steel tools, especially pickaxes. Soon as I put one up on the marketplace. It just disappears.

Can you use the one time Appearance Change Coupon to change to a paid costume?

just curious, as I doubt you can.

Nope

Nope

literally makes me on the fence about using my coupon just to fix my character's nose then

 

[BebopMcJigglypuff]

The paid costumes are visual items, the slots are the center ring and the 3 things across the bottom of the equipment screen

A lot of the people in my guild bought the ghillie suit costume because it hides your name and makes it difficult to determine what class you are. It's very possible I play with a bunch of dicks, though I suppose it's useful for guild wars.

 

[Jayhawk]

I used my ferry to travel to Iliya this morning and my character has been afk fishing there while I'm at work. I'll get started on the level 2 shipyard at that city.

My coal generation has been good, so I also want to start producing steel tools. I've been hovering around the bottom of the top 30 in production, but I should drop a lot during this work week.

 

[Ferr986]

Where do you get coal?

 

[Jayhawk]

Where do you get coal?

A couple of nodes, near the city of Coplan, that have high level mobs. If you don't know where Coplan is, that town is a few nodes west of Glysh.

Thanks! But man that is far , I hoped I could get it close to Velia/Heidel.

Just reached Glysh today, but I'm kind of low level yet for there.

Things like this are why I am a really big supporter of getting to level 50 first (grinding it out), then going back and doing quests/professions/etc.

You have the whole map explored, you'll have a few million just from drops and rewards for initial investment, and you'll be able to start collecting scrolls for your dailies/weekly for black stones.

Pass the goblin camps near Velia and in the mountains you have coal/copper

 

[Hupsel]

Is there a rogue like class in the game?

 

[mkenyon]

Is there a rogue like class in the game?

Sorceress is probably the closest right now. Ninja/Kunoichi will be added later and is the most similar to a typical rogue class.

 

[Magnetic_North]

Really enjoying this playing as a big ass red haired berserker love it

I love the no dungeons/raids thing makes me appriciate things and just explore a lot of mmos I'm just grinding away till I hit the dungeon etc till I get drops then repeat till endgame

This game I can do whatever might learn how to fish might farm some crops etc

I just wish I could have a few weeks off to play it!

Anyone got a guest pass they won't use?

I'd love to try the game and if I end up buying it, I can give the pass back =D

 

[Anne]

Girlfriend is playing the game, and she's saying the pop in is so bad it's hard to even look at. Anybody got a fix for that, on a 970 with a solid processor so I wouldn't think it'd be an issue.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I have been out in the ocean on a raft for HOURS connecting nodes for a trade route. This is honestly way more fun right now than the combat in lots of MMOs. I really miss this kind of stuff.

Turn up the settings, but no, the pop in is a frequent complaint with no simple fix.

I eventually want to connect Illiya Island with Velia (and thus Olvia) for big profits.

I really hope the open world dungeon areas will be out in the sea too.

This is what I am doing right now. having to discover these nodes the hard way, no help from guides D:

One of the planned expansions apparently is entirely based on the Sea.

 

[Ashodin]

There's two open world dungeons when Mediah comes out, as well as a randomized entrance to a dungeon in Valencia (the desert). Lots of cool ideas there.

 

[Astral/H3X]

I too am wondering this, but I haven't really seen any activity in the code beg thread for a while. I'm interested but really not willing to just shell out the cash up front.

 

[Gromph]

There are 3 from the Valentines event.

Blue, Yellow and Pink.

 

[Hikami]

Finally moved out of Velia, to the superior city south of it.

Two-story residence :q

I need more furniture.

 

[exfatal]

Finally decided to just take the plunge and buy Black Desert. Hopefully i end up enjoying it. Is there any videos you folks can recommended me to watch? teach me the stuff i should know before hopping on the game?

 

[soloscout]

Anyone with the horse whistle: not sure exactly how to use this. It sits in my pearl shop inventory, I can't use it, right clicking on my horse icon only makes an arrow to my hose. Right clicking on the whistle says I can't use it. Anyone face this issue and figure it out?

there are tons of videos on youtube, but one document you want to have on hand for sure is the bible: https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdeser...k_desert_bible_v15_guides_collection_updated/

Check to click the horse icon with the other mouse button, or in other instance just put the mouse over and read the help.

Thanks, I bought it earlier this afternoon but the DL isn't going to finish until sometime tomorrow morning (~.5MB/s :\). Now I'm just looking for stuff like this to learn more about the game.

Does the in-game shop only have costumes? Or does it also have EXP doublers or inventory expansion items that need to be paid for?

Costumes, Dyes, Inventory expansion, storage expansion, pets, horse armor, character slots, etc.

 

[tarheel91]

I take it this game doesn't have multi-gpu support? My performance is horrid.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Can you buy this game as a disc in stores?

31GB is a lot for those with a bandwidth cap.

I'm out for tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow night.

Is there an equivalent to a /who?

Thanks, it's not available to view online so I wasn't sure what to expect.

The installer calculates current DL speed really strangely. I restarted the launcher hoping I might connect to a faster server, and it decompressed the already-downloaded portion of the install. Since I'm on an SSD, it decompressed at something like ~80MB/s iirc, and I think the DL speed the game launcher shows is an average of every data point since the launcher was launched. It's going down right now at about 0.01MB/s every couple minutes, so eventually it'll show close to my real DL speed.

It seems really bizarre that they would calculate it that way, instead of something like average speed over the past 5 seconds or just showing the most recent poll and refreshing that every couple seconds.

 

[Ashodin]

Man trading in this game is really satisfying

So this confirm me that unless you go on the cash shop, you can't have a "good" looking armor (assuming the orange ones are pearls only). I mean, take a look at the Clead set for the warrior. Nothing too fancy, nothing over the top, it basically fit the "epic" tier set on a medieval themed game, you can totally see this dropping on a boss. There is like 3 or 4 different models obtainable by just playing , all of them looks like your average levelling set.

I'm not asking for Cavaro sets dropping all over the place, but at least sets than can make us appear a bit more "important" than your random gates guard. I've yet to advance the story, but I suppose we are more or less special looking at the dark spirit choosing us as an "host".

Although I'm kinda disappointed about this, I'm not the most to complain, at least I have a Shudad set.
