It looks like we have quite a lot of $100 ballers. How big can we get the guild during the headstart time?

Someone was supposed to be making a list. Maybe another straw pole is in order.

Because you could use that money to buy a pizza or a delicious ice cream cake.

I will not be buying a pizza or delicious ice cream cake, because I blew 100 bucks on this shitpile.

Is there going to be a big rear end land grab race at the beginning like in Archeage? I was unemployed when that game came out so I managed to get a primo spot on the first day, but I'm definitely not going to be able to do anything like that with BDO.

WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!



Can I get a pair of beats with this logo on the side of them???

I gotta admit, knowing that pvp is going to be a big fuckfest and knowing that I will never want or be actually able to keep up is freeing. This might actually be an enjoyable MMO experience because I'll be freed from the reins of optimal play to jack off all over this arcanely complex world. If I get poo poo on in PvP and it's by a +20 ranger with some sort of psychological complex he earned it imo.

There may be a land grab with farming, but it doesn't look like it is going to be a huge issue

You can pretty much plant down a garden anywhere, though certain areas have a higher groundwater content so they might be more crowded.

You can plant a farm directly on top of another player's farm. Your farm will phase in and theirs will phase out when you gear close enough.

Most of the English guides going around are just broad strokes from NA CBT1& CBT2, so there's still quite a lot of details to discover in the game. This is doubly true for the side-activity skills.
I'm really looking forward to screwing around with crafting and stuff at launch.

I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with their instancing technology. The pop-in everywhere might look a little silly, but the seamless transitions are pretty neat.

I personally had 5-10 tips (because I haven't played the game just watched a tonne of content) so it felt really helpful.

Is the $50 pack worth it if I'm upgrading from the $30 pack? I think I might want the pet.

Well i bought the $100 pack for the headstart so i'm no bastion of wisdom but the $50 pack for the pet is only worthwhile if you want the other poo poo in it because for the $20 upgrade price you could buy 2 pets on the store? ( i think they are 900 pearls each)

The only other thing that stands out is the horse and dye boxes (both of which aren't really important I don't think)

I think I'll just cough up the $10 for the pet if it really bothers me in game.

quote:

By default you have the ability to whistle for your horse to come to you as horses stay wherever you leave them, but the range of this whistle is very short. The horse whistle increases the effective range of this ability dramatically. Do not quote me on this but I believe the effective range of the horse whistle (in KR) was about ~1500m, where as the default whistle is probably ~50m.

The reason I upgraded to $50 is because by the looks of things, a lot of the items in it are almost a requirement to play. I would rather pay $20 now for the Horse Whistle, a Pet, the respect tokens and character slots than find out later on that I in fact NEED the whistle and the pets just to make the game fun. The slots, the tokens, the horse are all just bonuses to me. It feels like anyone who's going to actually give this game a shot will need to eventually get the maximum pets and all these quality of life things anyhow.

depends on how many guild missions people are willing to do with their $100 investment

the starting size of the guild is 15 and we've got about 30 so far who are in the 96 hour headstart, so I can't invite everyone first day until we've done 2 or 3 guild missions

Pre-orders have closed, so if you didn't order the $100 pack before now, you no longer have the option. Congratulations, lucky savers.

Would it be worth having two guilds for a while until guild size grows enough? I'm imagining the $50 start people (like myself) there wont be space in the main guild
