You guys just friggin blown my mind.

Goodaaaamn now I need to level cooking. Any food works?

Might as well start making beer. You'll need tons of it for workers and it levels cooking. Also, do any cooking related quests. You get tons of cooking exp for them for little effort.

Ah yes, I'm doing beer already. I mean, it's the only thing I'm doing right now with cooking.

I'm very lenient with my workers (or more like I'm so overwhelmed that sometimes I forget and don't make them work lol) so I didn't level it up. I think I'm almost at apprentice though.

I hope Daum lets loose the plans for the expansion stuff. This game is already some shit, when the desert and snow regions hit it is going to be a wrap.

Twitter feed said they are planning to release new content each month and said Blader would be coming soon. I can see the bigger content expansions like Mediah, Valencia I-III, etc. being 2-3 months or more apart maybe.

Give us Blader and Mediah at the same time.

I fully expect Blader to be "Samurai" and Plum to be "Ronin". Would be sick class names.
 
FFUUUU

I created my character in Uno and got him to level 11 before I realized the GAF guild is in Orwen

I think you can save the template for the character so you can quickly create an exact copy on a different server. Not sure if you can do it after you've already made the character though, or if it has to be done during character creation.

Hating myself right now, I'm officially part of the problem too lol

Least you caught it quick enough! Level 11 isn't too bad to get back to.

Yup!

Thankfully I was fascinated by that feature and saved my character template haha.
 
So it seems that, on my computer at least, the game is HEAVILY CPU bound... Was initially getting 15-ish fps, then I overclocked my CPU by a mere 300mhz, and now I'm at 45-50 FPS on high settings. Huh.

You'll generally find that every MMO is. Translating game state is a very CPU intensive task.

I don't know how many threads BDO uses, as I haven't really looked yet, but generally this sort of thing prefers really speedy cores over total # of them. If you're playing this game, and have a modern Intel CPU, get that thing clocked to at least 4.0 GHz.
 
Man I'm really having a tough time getting in this game, it's pretty hard to understand I've found.

But i have a hunger to learn more, I haven't been able to play it for long sessions this week I think that may be contributing to my confusion.

Huh? Thats a pretty big difference. You sure it wasnt something else?

Press F4 in-game, you can also save appearance there too

I have the og 2500, non k. It's not exactly a breeze to run this game, and it seems it was more or less at the breaking point. I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU, since adjusting my graphics doesn't really affect my framerate a whole lot. That or just OC even more. :x

How are you overclocking a non-K model?

How come Weeds are always selling out when I put them up on the Marketplace?
What are they used for?

I'm still sub-level 20 and its the only item I put up that ever sells.

I think they are used to create herbal juice when combined w/ mineral water. They are more effective than potions.

Hi everyone! Thinking a out jumping in but I wanted to verify if there is a monthly fee or if its just 50$ then good to go! Thanks!
 
Just got to Calpheon.

Okay, I'm impressed with the world building. The way it's all building up on each other makes me interested in seeing what's going on later on. Heidel having contempt for Calpheon, and showing artisans who were royally fucked over by this crafting guild, and then hitting Calpheon and seeing the names coming up again, it's actually fairly well done.
 
Honestly, my only complaints about the game are pretty minor:

1. Out of the 3 male classes, one is a cro-mag looking motherfucker and one is a mandatory old dude. That means that I can literally only make a decent-looking young guy as a warrior. Thankfully, this will be rectified with Blader and Ninja, but it sucks right now.

2. No trade. I know why they did this, I'm not arguing the logic of it, I just like helping my friends out and it sucks I can't send them spare gear.

3. The pop-in is crazy, even with everything maxed and high-end on. Game's gorgeous otherwise.

I'm thinking of starting a guild on the NA server UNO, I'm tired of reading general chat whilst I'm fishing lol. Anyone play on UNO?

So I just started.

My character is beautiful and I am in love.

Picked a Valkyrie because I can never not heal in an MMO.

Hoping for great things!

Just bought this game.

So far I've barely touched the actual game itself, but I gotta say it is hilarious when the male classes are nicely varied, but for female classes they all look like they're from a K-Pop girl group. Typical of a Korean MMO lol.

FF14 in a sense handles it better in that regard.

Not really, for example Sorceress dont look asian at all. Also, you can customize their faces a lot, hence why you see things like Emma Watson.

She looks like Kasumi from Dead or Alive!

lol true! Nice char.

Nah, some classes don't look korean/ aasian at all. My Sorc looks FAR from korean/ asian

Leveling in BDO has been the most satisfying leveling experience since vanilla WoW for me.

Feels like I can do anything as I level and it will benefit me at any level.

I saw a super chubby lady fishing the other day, legs like tree trunks. You don't see many of them in kpop girl groups!

I CAN CONFIRM, WORLD BOSSES ARE A THING

I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE

I love how Sayloo just doesn't care at all about your plight and is more shocked about food lol.
