Bah, annoying. One of my potato farmers seems to have bugged out. I have the option to start work with him, but get the message they're already working. Then the game brings up the work progress bar of what my other worker is doing. They're different level workers, so I know it's not just the same one.

EDIT: Seems like logging out fixed it.

Rafts are mind crushingly slow. I mean so bad you'll hate yourself for building one. Build the rowing boat instead (Called a ferry in game for some reason). It's much, much faster.

Well I wish I knew that last night, for some reason I thought the Ferry would be something else. Oh well, at least I know how the crafting systems work now.

I took my raft out to see and was tempted to just drown myself so I could get back to shore.

Rafts are the worst. Super cool for about 10 seconds, though.

I'm really debating pulling the trigger on this. I played WoW for a good 8 years before getting away from MMO's. I tried Guild Wars 2 for a bit, but it failed to recapture the flame.
 
I was mainly talking about performance, not gameplay(forgot to write that though since most people in their plea for guest passes added that they wanted to check performance before buying the game)

Mainly because there is a lot of people that is interested and isn't really sure if their computer could run it. You kinda don't get to know if your pc can handle it reading previews and the like, as there's very few that mention how the game would run on a lower end setup. Here on gaf and reddit you see a lot of people wanting to try out this game so they can see how it runs on their computer before buying.

I took a bit of a leap of faith when buying this game when it was closed beta 2, luckily it ended up running fine on my kinda shitty computer.

Besides, more games SHOULD have demos these days, especially on pc when people have such a wide variety of hardware

Yep nothing wrong with desiring a stress test on a pc game. Doesn't have to be a trial, but lots of games have these so it'd be great if there was a public one anyone can download.

So, I'm absolutely inexperienced with Online games, but I know some games have a monthly fee while some have not afaik. But with this game once I paid the price mentioned on the website I don't have to pay any monthly fees, is that right?

I have a guest pass some kind soul gave to me and if I like it and it has no monthly fees I might get it.

Yup, no monthly fees.

Says Ceath is offline, did you change chars?

Yeah, I logged off to get lunch. I'll be on my main (Ishiori) for a few minutes if anyone needs an invite and there's still space left.

There's no monthly fee.

I'm not sure that you can if it doesn't show as available when you hit F4 on your ranger. I would think an item like that would be for the account, but who knows.

Yeah it's not available on my ranger and doesn't seem like I can transfer it. Bummer, oh well. Thanks.
 
I would suggest we have people ask online officers in discord because it's alot faster to get a hold of someone than on GAF. Dunno if Ashodin wants to set it up any further and add a separate rank in discord for officers
 
Is there a way to check latency in game?
Not directly in game, but you can view it in Windows (7 and later I think). Open the Task Manager and on the 'Performance' tab, at the bottom click the which says 'Open Resource Monitor'.

Now in the Resource Monitor, go to the Network section and scroll down to view 'TCP Connections' and then look for Black Desert on the list of programs. This will give an approximation of the ping, under latency.

The FFXIV esque control system for Steam controller is coming on well. There's a few limitations though, mainly in that you can't seem to assign multiple mode shifts to the same buttons. The layout for mode shifts is a bit weird tbh. They should be manageable through the button that shifts it directly, rather than going to the button that gets modified as a result of pressing something else.

In this case, I can't seem to assign the face buttons to be mode shifted through both the left trigger and the right trigger. It only supports doing it for one of them.

Noooooo! All my beautiful work! My precious!!!

Someone actually made a thread about it on the official forums after a community manager said they were open to suggestions. If you'd like to be able to repair your boat go here and leave your input. I have no idea if they'll actually listen or if that community manager was simply trying to placate people, but it can't hurt to try.

Also I do not recommend straying into the general section. That was a poor decision on my part.

Probably never going to happen. The economy relies on stuff being destroyed and replaced. I need you to buy my deluxe wagon over and over again. :D

Most of the suggestions in that thread (including the OP's) suggest repairs costing materials and people have put forth the idea of max durability degradation on repair so implementing repair doesn't necessarily mean destroying the economy.
 
Beware of buying Daum Cash. I bought some on Sunday and tried to buy pearls, I got a Daum Cash retrieval error and it all disappeared. Support has not responded to my ticket, no acknowledgement on the support forums, and nothing through social media. Some have reported they heard a reply through twitter saying they are aware, but no clue when it will be resolved. I feel like my money has been stolen.
