For anyone doing farming, is it worth it to breed crops to the special (top) variety if you are only using the ingredients for crafting and not crates? Does the quality have any impact on crafting results?
Edit: Nevermind. Found the answer. I guess it's worth it afterall since blue materials are the equivalent of like 1 normal material.

I picked this up yesterday. Due to the abysmal download speed it was this morning before I could play (good timing on the icy snowstorm last night!).
It looks really nice at max settings. Does run a bit slow, but eh, it's not like 60fps is that important in an MMO.
I really like the combat. Very refreshing to see in an MMO. I disliked TERA's combat because it locked you in place until the animation was over. Blade And Soul just didn't click with me, but this....this I like.

I believe green acts as 4 normal units. I normally do my cooking with green materials. If something needs 4, I use green. Hasn't failed me yet.
Using blue on the other hand is a different value I'm not familiar with.

It seems that Blue = 5 and Green = 3.
I know I already asked but can I get an invite to the EU guild? I haven't been on much and never got around to messaging Amisur and ended up accidentally deleting you instead of messaging you now I can't find you again to re-add for whatever reason.

There might be some inactives or former 7 day pass users that can be removed. More than likely the members with an expired contract and super low energy/contribution points.
I'm thinking this too. We'll remove some people tonight that haven't played in a long time.

Gravity is a myth, the Earth SUCKS!
I see a lot of people taking artistic liberties with the black spirit and doing all sorts of cool things. Makes me think maybe I shouldn't of kept mine so bland.

Servers seem f'ed tonight. Every single shard say's crowded, and I'm getting disconnected constantly. Now it's showing 10 minute queues.

So how do I summon my donkey? I did the quest, registered the emblem (named him "Roach") but when I left click him nothing happens. I'm level 15.
Have had major issues with lag the last few hours. Got me killed 2 times. Fighting elite enemies and bosses. EU Jordine (?) btw.
Taking a break until tomorrow in hope of it getting a bit better then. It being easter in EU doesn't really help tho.
Im still here, just work has been kicking my ass lately. But on that note, it might be for the best for now until more space opens, since we're about to get really busy.
Take out of the stable and ride it.
It's been a while since an MMO kept my attention. I played WoW for years but eventually got bored, EVE got too expensive for me even though I really enjoyed it and Neverwinter got too repetitive. I enjoyed TERA up to about level 20, AION didn't really keep my interest and despite Blade and Soul looking interesting it just feels boring.
Watching some streams of Black Desert actually make it look incredibly interesting, if only because it handles things so differently. From those of you that may have played the above, what are your thoughts on it? I like the look of crafting/gathering in this game, and combat looks fun too. Is there a trial at all?

I made a pretty big post in the Blade and Soul thread, as someone who played a lot of BnS.
It uh, didn't go over well, but you can check it out.
Haha, I don't think your post was bad or inflammatory at all. So far my experience with Blade and Soul has been average at best. Combat fees too loose, the quests are pretty boring and it takes forever to get anywhere. Your description of how you wanted to make horse wagons and the steps you had to take sound like a really interesting thing to try - in other MMOs you'd just collect some stuff and hit craft.
I'm still watching some streams but it definitely helped with some thoughts I had. Thanks
That's what you do in BDO, too.
Only thing is the steps involved to get to that point are a lot more involved in some other MMOs.
(I'm not trying to discourage you, mind. I'm having the kind of fun with BDO that I have not had in years with an MMO!)
Not at all, honest thoughts are the most helpful. I understand of course that eventually it all boils down to getting stuff and pressing the craft button, it's the way of doing that that intrigues me.
I too haven't properly enjoyed an MMO since maybe Wrath of the Lich King (I got bored after it). EVE was the only other one that was keeping my attention but it started to cost a lot of money. It's dropped back down in monthly cost to a more reasonable level now but I'm not sure I want to jump back in, which is why I've been trying other MMOs to see if they can hold my interest first. I may just take the £23 hit and try Black Desert.

It's kind of funny, in a way. BDO even lets you automate the collecting with the worker system. It really is the process of doing that and the way the world works that makes this game as unique as it is.
When you link the nodes and send your first worker off to gather a resource and you see him physically walk out of your lodging in the town and trot off down the road to gather your resources.. I don't know.. it just made an impression on me. It made me think "wow.. my worker actually exists outside of the UI I use to interact with him"
If another game had a worker system, you'd just click a button and after a few minutes resources would start flowing in but you'd never actually see the worker.
edit -
For me, it's a bunch of little things, but here are the big ones that I appreciate -
a) lack of fast travel
b) everything has a physical representation in the world
c) npcs follow the same ruleset, for the most part. (i.e. you pay to have your goods transported to another location.. they don't magically appear.. it takes transit time and you can see the transport wagon, as well as check its cargo on the map)
Great! If you have room on Orwen I would love to join (it's been a lonely journey this far).

It's all good though, since no one here would participate in such a thing.

You guys should be doing this every day. Takes 20 minutes or so the first couple times, but after that it takes about 15 minutes.
Lots of CP EXP. I'm pulling in around 4-5 points a day just from this @ 80 CP.

And there is still gold spam in general. Wonder if the bots got the notice about trading.

Chat ban requests no longer cost energy and are supposed to be used exclusively for bot spam now. There is a huge warning on it. It's a nice improvement but the implementation is a little buggy/clunky and it means that there isn't a convenient way to report people that are being racist, harrassing, spamming, etc. now. All you can do is block them or screenshot it and report it via Daum's customer support.
As they are still advertising cheap pearl shop items, I don't think they have caught wind of it yet. It will probably take some time. All they have left is power leveling services and not many players are going to be desperate or dense enough to hand over their account information. I can't believe that it would be worth the effort for them to even bother with the game anymore at this point.

This is so big for me with this game, the whole world is just so well realized. Calpheon is probably the best city I've ever seen in a game, there's just so much detail. The soldiers in formation marching off to war, the riots in the slums, the busy marketplace, the Valkyrie school where there's students hard at work training mixed with little groups just standing around giggling over stuff, etc.
The battlefields around the city too (Trina fort, Delphe fort, anti troll fortification) are so well realized too. There's the occasional lol of a line of archers just firing arrows into a wall, but for the most part they're some of the best video game battles I've seen with hundreds of NPCs duking it out, cannons going off, monsters climbing over the walls to get at defenders, it's so good.

Best thing about this game is no loading screens. Just the initial login and boom, just play all night.
Seriously, most games today are just run to the next loading screen all night long. Such a waste of time.

One look at OP thread and had to try it.
Game looks amazing and haven't had that much satisfaction beating up a couple (dozen) grass beetles before even checking out the first quest.
Rolled the ranger class and I just realised you can use button combinations for different moves like holding S + Left click for a special archery shot. Very cool, can't wait to level up and explore the map and combat some more.
Having some issues with UI scaling i'm not sure if anyone is playing it in 4k resolution the game looks stunning but I cant read the UI so have to downscale to 1920x1080. Any fix for this?
Hope to see you guys soon once i've levelled up

Ranger or Wizard imo. Valk/tamer are both melee classes, tank and DPS respectively, although this game doesn't really do 'trinity'. But you could round out the AoE and long-range damage game.

Haha, it's a small world. Been enjoying witwix's streams of it, i wasn't expecting him to like BDO
Hmm, that doesn't sound right. Only members who should have been kicked were inactives/ guest pass people. I can assure you that the guild is a casual guild
We can reinvite you tomorrow!
