How has this game turned out so far? does this community have a discord.
Oh, there's discord alright. Frequent PKing, infighting between guild members, it's a mess!
Kidding aside, think we have a discord though I haven't used it.

Been focusing on AP upgrades and leveling. Currently Lv 59, full Boss Gear Tri and 204 AP, I keep blowing up Ogre Rings but that is just the nature of the game.
I do see a lot of people quitting since the RNG aspects of this game can wear someone down. You just have to temper your expectations and realize you have bad and good runs of luck.
It seems that the awakenings and new content is bringing in new players and they are improving some of the RNG aspects such as getting a free Kzarka/Karanda box from 100 auras, etc.
I think are server discords but I am just in my guild one.

You really don't have to listen to the black spirit lol. He's just one long quest line but you're not tied to him much.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
What can I do at the beginning? Everything? Used to theme park mmo's so this is a tad overwhelming

Pretty much. If you want to do NPC quests go. Just kill things then go. Explore then go. The Black Spirit quests at the beginning are a pseudo tutorial until a certain point but you don't have to follow them.
Well, Lashley still needs to do some black spirit quests to unlock character specific skills(think there were two).

You wont find it on the forum cause it was deleted but someone snatched it before it was taken from view.

Thankyou just bought the basic package and downloading now. I'm gonna try this game for a while.

What's the normal price? I'll probably buy it either way, but still.
30 USD or 50 USD.
The starter's package is exclusive to this sale, and that's only 10 USD, but it doesn't contain any bonus items.

Take your time and don't worry about catching up go at your own pace.
I do suggest trying to get a horse as soon as possible, luckily for you you're a new user so new accounts get millions in silver for level achievements.

Both are good classes, I suggest making both as this game encourages having alts and you can share your gear between them.

Why do you need multiple characters if its easy to explain? I usually use one character and just explore the world you know do the story missions or fish farm whatever there is to do.
I am not looking to get the best loot or you know do every dungeon or whatever. I may join a guild if there are player controlled territories or building stuff but yea.

Thanks, that's why I thought it was a bit too pricey for my taste, even though I didn't give it a fair chance to be honest.

It's basically for investing energy into nodes in territory's, makes for a faster experience when you rake in contribution points.
Investing into nodes gives an increase in drops and rare items.
But if you're not interested in all of that then just go with a class you mesh with. BDO is all about doing what you want to do when you want to do it.
Wyndstryker
Member
Don't do that, you'll scare other potential victims...i mean newcomers
As stated extra energy, storage/mule , tending farms, investing in node, building fail stacks to enchant gear etc. Hell you can even transform the energy into energy pots you can sell on the market.

Guys, does anyone know of any good video showing off the game? I'm trying to get my friends to get the game. It would be best if it is a video "showing" rather than "telling", as they're not exactly too fond of the English language, so to speak. Something quick that would leave them wanting to try it pretty much.

I reached a major milestone today. I hit like 56 and got my Greatsword for my Warrior!
This was the reason I decided to buy BDO, and it has been my main objective since I started playing. And like clockwork, I hit lvl 56 at 10 days played.
Getting from lvl 55 to 56 turned out to be a lot less of problem than I thought it would be.
BDO is a fantastic game. It's a MMO you need to play on its own terms. Its a game that is fun to log into and play for a while and then log out of. In small bursts as a distraction rather than your "main" game it is excellent.
If you can get into the habit of logging in for the daily, the developers are generous with rewards.
This game can be really frustrating. There are things about it that make you shake your head, but it is also one of the gems of PC gaming. It's a unique game, a deep game and a very immersive game.
I'm really glad I played it. If you anyone here is thinking about picking it up- Do it. the combat, the world, the possibilities, the exploration, the life skills.
Getting into it is what can be really difficult. seeing the genius of it beneath the surface can be difficult. Because you need to play on the games terms and sometimes it doesn't make sense. But then you learn the ropes, and then it makes sense.
The game is at its best when you log in and you carve out something for yourself. you make ultra detailed characters, you fall in love with the combat which feels like soul calibur meets dynasty warrior. it is outragously awesome. the graphics are incredible and the attachment you get to things. you upgrade your gear you get relatively early with stones. you go out in the wild and you catch a horse, and you create your own wagon and you make your own boat. and you hire workers to do your farms.
The game is best if you are not focused on the best gear or by being competitive in pvp. forget about that right off the bat. because the game has pay for conveniences, (not really pay to win) but even that makes no sense compared to the way the RNG is set up. the game is straight up insane. the developers are truly mad. they don't give a fuck and its both a good and a bad thing.
There has never and will never be a game with this design spec. its for this reason the game can not be easily compared to other games.
And if you're looking for a MMO that makes you care. If you are de-sensitized from current MMOs, this might be an option.

So, as someone who loves the fashion aspect of games, I'm really disappointed hearing that costumes are only really available through buying them with cash. What's the deal with that?
I'm really bummed.

They recently allowed people to sell the costumes on the marketplace, so you can buy them with silver

So I have been looking for a new game to play. Have kind of a void right now. BDO looks pretty fun. A big thing for me is progression, and this seems to cater to at least progressing skills, levels, etc.
Is the $50 (on sale for $34.99) Explorer's package worth the $34 price?
The extras you get (housing items, horse, dyes, etc) able to be found in game easy enough?

The horse and pet is really nice, horse makes so you can move around the world MUCH faster, and the pet when used auto pick/loot drops when you kill.
Some of the housing stuff is nice too, the bed makes it that when you rest in it energy recover 3x the speed. The Value pack is nice too, 60 days (30x2) access to change your appearance and color your armor/clothes, extra inventory slots/storage slot in towns, 10% exp boost, and 100 weight limit.

Also the added XP in all skills and a 30% tax decrease bonus from when you sell your items on the market.
The value pack is a really good bargain with what it comes with and you also get a permanent horse whistle you can use when too far to call it using your character.
