As someone who's spent a lot of time training horses with and without the looping waypoints, I'm very much in favour of them. Right now most people are using the semi-afk solution of setting a waypoint far away and then updating it now and then. Looping waypoints is basically the same thing but it removes one tedious element.
I also wouldn't trust Daum to properly balance it otherwise. The Korean version is balanced with looping waypoints in mind, and getting several high tier horses to high level without it would be absurdly difficult.
I predict that they will balance it out by making so that the exp is halved (or even gone, but that might be a bit harsh) if the horse is out of Stamina.
Horse xp is calculated based on distance traveled, so a horse without stamina would be gaining xp at an extremely low rate.

The PVP answers are encouraging. It looks like they're going to try to have everyone reach a specific level (+15 enchant) and leave it at that so everything will be balanced and more based on class balance/skill. Awesome job Daum.
Another good answer I see is that they're considering releasing Awakenings in huge batches instead of just one at a time like KR version. So like 3 at a time, I'd imagine.

It looks like there might be options to get pets and maybe other items without the cash shop in future. I like the sound of that.
Indeed seeing some less premium, "commoner" costumes would be a very welcome change. Or perhaps cosmetic item rentals for those who don't want to drop $20 on an outfit?
With sufficient options, a cosmetic subscription option woukd be pretty cool too.
Interested in seeing how the non-cash shop pet idea would pan out.

THANK GOD for them acknowledging the cash shop stuff. Sounds like they definitely want to change it up, but just need time, which is acceptable.

From my understanding, Internet cafes are the primary Internet source in Korea and they pay for it by their consumption rate. Some of the companies and Internet cafes do some licensing deal where the money goes to both the company and the Internet cafe, so grindy online free to play games are more profitable. Therefore we are getting that same game with tweaks that are OK'd by Pearl Abyss for our gaming culture.
Take that with a grain of salt, I may be wrong and I don't have any official sources, these are just what I have heard.

As long as the dev and publishing teams know that dealing with the western market requires vastly different ways of handling the cash shop and whatnot and they take actions on it then they'll do well.
Yeah but this is the western version. I mean, I don't know if the KR have P2W items for easing weapon upgrading, but Daum could def. change some things about it, just like they did with PvP.
I dunno, I have my weapon at a mere +9 (lvl 46) and I'm thinking to just try to farm the money to buy a +15. Seems like with my luck with MMO RNGs it could be cheaper at the end...

Well there's a an armor and a weapon quest chain once you hit 50 that help with black stones. It also helps if you know to failstack to 5+ fails on crappy accessories before wasting your stones.
Yeah I know about that quest, but with RNG you could waste all that stones for like 1-2 levels...
What cheap accs should I use? cause white ones aren't upgradable, right?

Patch notes are up
http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/65502-patch-notes-april-6th/
What stood out most to me is that they reduced the number of black stones required to force enchant
Hoping it's a substantial amount and not just 1 or 2 less
Edit: eh, seems like it is just a few

I can see that ending up being expensive considering how much failstacks you need...
EDIT: That change, shame its only for force. I was hoping it would make the % of successing an enchant higher. Makes sense tho, force was really expensive, considering how much it lowers durability.

Hey all, I've been looking at some videos of this game on youtube and really wanted to give it a go. Does anyone have a spare guest pass? I'm in NA if that matters. I would really appreciate it!
I noticed that too, love it lol
Sounds interesting, what does it do?
You put on the site the requirements and it tells you the solution to the conversation minigame.

I fought one as Sorceress and i didn't have much trouble, but Sorceress has tons of mobility, so i always was able to dodge out of attacks
This is the greatest thing ever.

BDOTool is great, but still very incomplete.
Too many NPC's in the game lol.

Ugh don't tell me that. I just got a 7 day free pass and going to try this out this weekend.
Luckily you can completely ignore world bosses for the most part.
Did a couple a few times, probably won't do then again.

Umm, just did my first Crimson Battlefield
Laggy as hell (i knocked people down and before i could hit them they were behind me attacking me...i knocked them down why aren't they on the floor?), and extremely imbalanced (i did no damage with my +15 Yuria Amulet of Crimson Flame, i could never escape a stun and got chain-grabbed multiple times to death in seconds)
I hope this doesn't represent the game's PvP, because i am so disappointed right now. My effort means nothing if i don't have maxed gear

Basically. It's gear>level>skill
I've only managed to kill 6 people across the 2 Battlefield matches I've played.
There's always people with ridiculous DP that you won't be able to hit unless you have high accuracy. Resistance gear is also pretty important, the topaz necklaces give knockdown and bound resistance for example, which is what I use. Never had any lag problems like you mentioned though.

Yo yo yo.
Been playing this on and off since launch. It's a really gorgeous game with a lot of neat systems, but something just hasn't totally hooked me yet. I think it's a combination of the physics based movement, and the clunky ui. Something about it just feels kind of like cheap plastic. It's hard to put into words.
I come bearing a gift though:
Code 2 : 3409-6934-A336-42BF-90D2
My last guest pass. If anyone snags it, be sure to leave a message saying that you did.

It's a good game, but I ultimately found it pretty overwhelming too. At least it's b2p so that I can come back anytime

I'm also taking a short break. Just logging in to get the loyalty. I've always planned on maining Plum so I want to play some other stuff for a week or two (still need to play Hyper Light Drifter) until she comes.

It's a sandbox mmo guys, there's tons of stuff to do in order for there to be things to interest everybody, but that doesn't mean you have to do EVERYTHING. Just play the way you like while doing whatever the heck you want, that's pretty much the point of a sandbox. Just keep that in mind when you start feeling overwhelmed.
Most days all I really do is fish. Why? Because I'm Mother f'ing Ahab and I'll catch that elusive white whale if it's the last thing I do! Killing ogres and grinding blackstones is just something on the side.

I'm not yet, but Dark Souls III is coming...
I love fishing but I'm still at the phase that I only get shit. Leveling fishing is soooooooooooooo slow.
Btw, I know Im so late but yesterday I (finally) started to process the fishing boat!

There's a gold fishing hotspot on the shore, no boat required.

As far as I can tell, what you catch with fishing isn't related to your fishing level. I believe your fishing level only dictates how fast you get a fish on the hook. As far as catching crap, that's because you're not fishing at one of the ridiculously OP hotspots.
That's the coastal cave area? I already fish there but didn't notice any difference about getting better fish or more exp.
Btw I'm doing the boad because It's cool, I know I don't really need it
Ah, didn't know that. Guess it's only hotspot and maybe gear.
