Even with the $50 package you still get a 48 hour head start, so you gotta ask if that extra 48 hours is worth another $50. Or if even the first 24 is worth the $30 you need to buy the game at all

All the preorders come with some head start time. Hopefully it will stagger the player base a bit so we don't end up with whatever is going on in the Blade & Soul discord channel.

Yeah you're stuck for that one. And they will give out way more CBT2 keys so there's no point paying for that either if you have any ability to watch Twitter and pick one up. Basically no excuse to pay more than $30 unless you just really love having extra digital geegaws

Nope! Plenty of goons have already posted saying that they paid the $100 for this game already. People did it for B&S too but at least that one gives you a lot of cash shop currency and premium access.

I am fine with this one because I was gonna buy the game for thirty bucks anyway. This "preorder" just happens to have far more bullshit than the normal preorders. But it is all worthless.

The 30 Buck pack comes with:

quote:

The Game ( All I want )
1 Guest Pass 7 Day. ( Worth nothing to me )

3 Housing Décor Coupons ( Useless )
3 Unknown Dye Boxes ( Garbage )
Appearance Change Coupon ( poo poo )
3 Partial Skill Resets ( Worthless )
Steel Toolset Package (All Will be broken by the first day.)

In-game title ( gently caress No )
Family Name Reservation ( Eh )
Character Name Reservation ( Jack poo poo )
Head Start (24hrs) ( Ok I am fine with this )
1 Additional Character Slot ( I don't do multi characters )

The 50 Buck pack has the above plus:

quote:

48 Hour Head Start and assorted additions to the junk above.
Tier 3 Horse ( Useful but easy to get in game )
Horse Whistle (Permanent) ( Extremely Useful )
Pet of choice ( Junk )

Unique Weapon Skin ( Total utter poo poo )

That 50 Buck pack essentially has you paying an additional 20 bucks to play the game one day earlier than the other pack and a horse whistle. The T3 Horse can be roped in game at your own pace and there starting quest chain gives you a free donkey and a free T1 Horse.

Now if you are a complete loving moron you will give them DOUBLE that and make it a cool 100 cheese and with that you get

quote:

All the garbage above
4 Day Head Start
Tier 5 Horse
Some cash shop currency (25$ worth)
The worst looking costume in the game

Which amounts to loving nothing after the game has been out for a few weeks. The cash shop costumes all look better than the preorder poo poo one and the whole deal amounts to no where close to being worth 50 bucks.

Get the 30 Dollar Pack if you have played in the closed beta or watched some streams and think this poo poo is your jam. If not just sit in MMOHMO when the game comes out and snag someone's guest pass.

It will most definitely be poo poo, but if you blow 30 bucks and we get two months of fun out of it or something, I can live with that. :toot:

Huh, interesting.

How can you get the pet/ horse whistle in the game? I was interested in buying the 50$ edition, becouse I am a moron, but if everything useful out of it can be easily obtained in game or in the cash shop for less than the 20$, I might as well not bother.

Have any of y'all played this in Beta yet? I was just interested in the character creator, but the game itself actually doesn't sound half-bad. I don't usually like MMOs because of the Hotbar stuff and lack of action, but this looks like a normal third person open world action RPG instead?

cash shop, non permanent though I believe

i'm debating if even the horse whistle is worth it at this point, because as I found out later, horses are the dumbest creatures in the BDO animal kingdom. If a mob decides to wail on it, the horse chills there until it is sufficiently stabbed/beaten to death. The simplest solution to having a non-dead horse is to just autoride it to the nearest outpost/gateway/whatever, then leave it in the loving care of apathetic quest NPC's (or far outside of the mob spawn radius).

The issue with this is it often took longer to get back to my horse and ride back than it did to just full sprint back to my destination. It didn't help that t3 horses only run at around 115% of normal movement speed (despite a longer sprint bar), and that horses are prime murder targets for being stupid as poo poo (and one of the few actual methods of causing permanent damage to other players)

It's probably useful if you have a t7 ultrapony and enough disposable income to revive/reset deaths, but I doubt you'd see the benefit of your extra 20 bucks very early on

The combat is pretty awesome if you enjoy action based combos as opposed to tab targeting with a hot key for everything. Being able to scale buildings parkour style is pretty sweet too.

with that being said, discord is a lot better than mumble

mumble is good and has the fact that a lot of people use it going for it, but the voice quality is the same, there are a lot more features for Discord, it works awesome on mobile, etc

I don't have a problem with discord itself, but I don't get why we need auth layers like the discord server is for the highest level eve ops or some poo poo. It's a sign that the people setting it up want to do something with it that I don't want to bother with. Like, all you need for CTS is access to PGS and the ability to right click yourself in mumble. The only reason to require more than that is because there are deep dark secret meetings or some poo poo, and we get away with those anyway on CTS because the angerdome is buried under a metric fuckton of other channels so no one sees it anyway.

My 2 cents, anyway.

And I agree, the only auth layer I am adding is just something verifying whether or not a user has an unbanned SA account or not. I'm not going for EVE xenophobia, nor do I care to, there is no reason for it.
