Oh, I've been playing every day since it came out and even if there was no free trial I'd tell people to buy it, I just meant if he wants to try it out and hasn't bought it yet, a trial does exist. :)

Bit late for that now if he's already spent the money. But imo this is the only MMO that's caught me since WoW/Eve, and it has enough of the features of both to keep me interested.

I agree, I've been spending too much time in BDO and I'm not tired of it. This coming from someone who hates, *hates* MMOs. My only real complaint is that it's intentionally withholding a lot of character customization because of the cash shop.

It's not even really gear that grinds on me when it comes to cosmetics -- it's the horrifying dye system. Single use, can't be traded/sold, and expensive. A shameless ripoff of the Guild Wars 2 dye system would be great in my book.

If it was a shameful ripoff of the GW2 dye system it would be better than the GW2 dye system, because you can dye more parts of gear, you can dye your weapons, you can dye your horse acessories and wagon, and there's more dyes. The developers have talked about moving on this, which would be great because dyes in this game are amazing if we could just GET to them.

It's because the majority have seen different MMO's with their "GREAT" decissions going to the ground. "Yeah, let's add a cash shop and have 30$ costumes" YEAH THAT TOTALLY DOESN'T SCARE PEOPLE AT ALL. YEAH, 30$ SEEMS LIKE A TOTAL REASONABLE PRICE FOR A BLOODY COSTUME

30$ for a in-game item which makes your character unique scares people off, and thats why these games will be meant for a small majority who can't find a job and have the time to gather x amount of Blackstones to rush through the gear cap and then gank the others who went to work that day. PRETTY F********* FUN GAME, YES INDEED.

But the upcoming content is free, like really? People don't give a F****, they see high prices, they move on. Just like real life, think out of the f***** box for F*** sake like sorry for my language here but... this is just stupid

Ahah. Thanks to the megaphone I've already turned off the "world" channel and I ain't missed it for a second.

On that note, why are there even gold sellers in this game? You can't loving trade. Who is falling for this?!

Edit: pet changes are... hmm...
They each give skill and combat bonuses. The bonuses are now cumulative for multiple pets, that's... cash shop-py. Looks like I might have to go turn off other people's pets.

So the new pet breeding system is loving awful in my experience. I had 2 level 10 hawks and a level 10 dog. I had another unopened dog/hawk waiting from the pet sale on launch. I combined my pets like this:

Level 10 Tier 1 Dog + Level 1 Tier 1 Dog = Tier 2 Dog
Level 10 T1 Hawk + Level 10 T1 Hawk = Tier 2 Hawk
Level 1 T2 Hawk + Level 1 T1 Hawk = T2 Hawk

They added a 4th tier, so looks like over $100 for 3 Tier 4 pets.

That was what was expected from the beginning., extra tier asides. 4 tiers means it's $216 for 3 T4 cats, if you are completely unlucky.

gently caress it. Go all cats. Get all of them. Breed them until Heidel evicts you from your decrepit manor home due to unsanitary conditions. Turn them into leather, and give them to your workers to process into furniture, costumes, and handbags. Profit $$$.

What do T4 pets even do compared to T3, just 1 one extra skill which will probably be +5% crafting exp? Hard to imagine that's worth $200+.

They get one more skill and presumably have more frequent or wider range procs on their racial skill (e.g. resource node detection)

Edit: oh they might also pick up items more frequently. This is all something I hear someone say and have no evidence that it's true

I've seen a house in Heidel that had at least $200 worth of cash-shop furniture, and the +EXP bonus from pets has to be worth more than access to Heidel's investment banks.

Different tier pets look different. Each type has slightly different chances of learning particular "skills."
I believe in korea/russia their pets start at t0 which is why my t3 cat is currently considered grade 2 on that website. They could've also changed the stats for us (especially since they seem to have implemented the new skills system in the patch note where certain skills are common and certain skills are restricted to certain types of pets, which is what Korea got last patch too). I could also be talking out of my rear end.

This calculator is incorrect. This is for the old breeding system, that had 3 tiers. Now there are differences on which skills can stack, which skills are available (each "type" of pet has access to a specific set of life skill XP increases) and each tier increases the amount of buffs they can have by 1 I think.

Yeah, like I said, the skills part seems outdated. It's a good website to browse if you want to check out what the pets can look like, though. :3:
