Stupid question that's probably been asked a thousand times, but what is the difference between the Valkyrie and the Warrior? I mean, I can see the skill differences in video, but in terms of how you play the character and their usefulness in a group setting, that's what I don't get.

comparing it to MMO archetypes:

valkyrie plays like a paladin; it a couple some ranged abilities, is very defensive and tanky, and can kinda heal/support
warrior plays like a warrior; a bit more mobile, almost all melee, and has great harass potential.

So what is the end game balance looking like right now? Any classes that I should avoid playing? I hear things like wizards can't really take care of themselves and sorcs are op but this is random word around the internet.

There are neither universally good nor universally bad classes, play whatever you like. Average person crying about wizard is crying that it's inconvenient to hammer nails with a bicycle.

Well that was sooner than expected, though quite welcome. More content is great.

Though I have yet to even grab all the exploration nodes in our current game world. It's huge! And it's getting bigger.

Well gently caress me then, guilty as charged. It'll be great to see 1% of players go ahead and seize the advantage while I study. Too soon, in my opinion, too soon.

Edit: As a sidenote, I'm mildly amused by people crying about enchanting gear past +15. There are no known cases of +20 anything on Russian regions with the exception of superwhales who bought their way through the system, whereas pubbie hivemind is already crying about +20 vs +15. Sure, even +17 will be more than a difference, but :lol: if anyone will have an honest way to their +20s en masse before the fall comes, presuming we don't get enchantment success rate raised for some unfathomable reason.

I'd make a comment about demand for Urbanstones going up because of Mediah but honestly I don't think demand even went down in the first place.

I told you they were going to fastrack content. I'm guessing valencia by early late spring/early summer and valencia 2.0 with most awakened weapons by late summer/early fall.g

Yeah, wasn't Russia caught up within 5 months? And NA/EU were supposed to catch up even sooner, so Mediah within a month makes sense if they plan to have Valencia out within like 3-4.

Nah, I think it was just the fist part of valencia. The big valencia 2.0 update came out in dicember in korea and I dont think thats out in russia yet. It'll take a while to come out here, but I'm thinking we'll get it with most if not all awakened weapons right as it comes out.

Yeah, Russia has only Valencia Part 1, getting it ~5 months after soft release.

Yeah, "caught up" was the wrong term to use, my bad.

Russian version came out in October and they got Valencia (1.0) in the beginning of March. I think they got Mediah very late Nov or early December maybe? So us getting Mediah this soon isn't too surprising if we're meant to get content at the same rate or a bit faster.

Mediah was two months after release, need to get off phone to tell the date. What I'm afraid of is alienation of playerbase with Mediah so soon.

October 5 was Russian headstart, November 17 was Mediah. So a month and a half.

I make steel crates in Epheria Port, sell it at Heidel city, make special sunflowers crates at heidel, and sell it back at Epheria, then go afk fishing and wait till I have enough mats to make steel crates again.

Oh and good thing I saved all my seal and stones. Probably have over 100 of it. Doesnt matter, Ill still hit 40 failstacks to upgrade to a +8, this is why I have so many in the first place cuz I just gave up

You need to get to base 56 to be able to take the black spirit quest for them, then you need to hunt down some world bosses. The world bosses are usually trolled by over leveled and over geared characters looking for easy kills.

How "easy" it is depends on your ability to level and not get hosed over in the world bosses. Its also a brand new weapon that you need to get to +17 at least to not be completely useless in pvp.

Single, specific, world boss to kill once to unlock awakening skills, same boss to farm for legendary weapon. I think you get one awakening weapon from quest, and you can for sure buy another one from NPC, both worse than the world boss drop of course. You could easily expect a couple hundred hours to get the legendary.

In my defense I'm playing on a large screen and the icon is extremely small.

So what's the deal with the expansion? No mention whatsoever of new classes? I'm going to be super depressed if we don't get plum.

No mention of class indeed. I've heard words about complete rework of blader/plum underway, but I'm not sure if that's true and/or related.

E: From reddit:

quote:

This morning Daum Games Europe announced that tomorrow the western version of Black Desert Online is going to receive its first expansion, bringing the realm of Mediah and a sizable increase in world size and content.

In the orginal Korean edition, the release of Mediah was immediately followed by the first new classes, Blader and Plum, which are basically a mix between a samurai and a Korean warrior wielding sword and bow. In Russia, the two classes (which are the male and female versions of each other, but differ slightly in skills) were released together with Mediah.

Since there was no mention of their implementation in today’s announcement, we reached out to Daum’s marketing manager to hear if we can expect new classes as well, or if we have to wait longer. While he did not give a specific release date, he mentioned that new classes won’t come with Mediah, but will be implemented “very soon.”

It’s worth mentioning that in an earlier Q&A, Daum Games mentioned that new classes might not come in the same order as their original Korean release, so we shouldn’t assume that Blader and Plum will be the first to be released. It’s entirely possible for the other pair, Ninja and Kunoichi, to be released first.
While this quote is full of poo poo, it gets the point across if they indeed contacted Daum and also got a reply out of that.

1% chance of new classes coming with tomorrow's update
99% chance of the entire player base unsubscribing when new classes don't come with tomorrow's update
