Tokyo Sexwhale posted:You can beat the captcha by clicking said item and losing, but then leaving the captcha open and waiting for the item to pop again, you just hit enter and the captcha takes whatever you had in there as current and correct. That might work with more common items, but Outlaw rings only sell a handful a day. to fail and leave the captcha up I could potentially be waiting hours, occasionally even days before the next ring was posted.

For what it's worth I've bought like, 7 rings since the black captcha came out. Snagged the PRI outlaw ring last night, too. I do think that on occasion you are competing with bots. But I don't think those bots are kept on all the time or on all items. For bigger items with the B lottery it doesn't even matter, because all it means is that you have to get lucky as opposed to being the fastest person. V  V

I know this is going to sound hard to believe but I may have been hasty and overly dramatic cause I got both the rings I needed in the middle of the night without much hassle. I know its not like a goon to jump to conclusions and get upset easily but Im a special snowflake what can I say.

As a warrior I'm tempted to get the outlaw rings because they are cheaper but I feel like the extra damage from the marks of shadow is more important since my offhand only provides defense.

I have 2 Pri Outlaws, and -2 ap for +10 dp is a good trade in my book. If you have the stomach to camp the market and/or farm elrics getting two pris isn't too insane. As opposed to getting Pri Marks or something like that, gently caress that noise.

Hi posted:That was you?! It sure was! Or at least I got the third one ever sold on orwen, anyway. Those rings aren't that bad to get on the market because I'm not sure everyone wants the AP/DP combo. They are great on my valkyrie though - I don't think she really suffers from lower AP but she has a shitton of DP on her and can take a bunch of hits. Plus the rings are much cheaper to buy (and thus attempt to PRI, already failed once  ).

I finally decided to make the move to Calpheon, but I am feeling completely overwhelmed by the number of real estate choices. Is there a guide out there of recommended choices or perhaps one of you would be kind enough to take a screenshot of your setup and posting it here? I don't need the ultimate sperglord setup with maximized contribution point efficiency, but a reasonable starting point to work off of would help.

I wasn't expecting that. Why Heidel? Location plus the house in 9-4 or is there more to it? I am primarily interested in Calpheon only because I see that the max tier for a lot of crafting locations is available there and not in Heidel. Do most of you make Heidel your main base of operations and just cherry pick for crafting purposes from there?

LegalPad posted:Leisurely leveling from 1-50 was such a great experience that I thought perhaps this was a game I could casually play for a very long time, but the endgame grind of upgrading your gear+++ is absolute fuckery and I guess I'm pretty much over it at this point. Having the fruit of several hours of grinding and inventory management be a couple more failstacks is simply soulcrushing. You can still have gear upgrading be pretty casual... Save your scrolls and do one scroll group a week, that should get you 50+ stones from the drops and hunter seals. After that the only cost is gear to repair durability, which can either be bought cheap or farmed for depending on what set you use. Then just continue casually enjoying the game and do what you want. Oh, I also have a theory... I think that you get a significant bonus to your upgrade chances once per day. I found I had decent luck, especially at higher +'s with my first try, and if I kept going I'd get hosed. So now I just go for one + a day for my higher enhanced gear and it's been working pretty well. I have nearly +15'd everything and I play pretty casually and fish a lot.

Why is Heidel so much better? Isn't there poo poo you need to be in Calpheon to even make? I know Grunil is made there, and I assume there's others Edit: Nevermind, Xavier434 already asked it better

Really, Heidel is probably best because it's so central. You can go out west to Trent etc if you really need to, you can get to any of the world bosses from there quickly because they're all around that area, and you can head east to Mediah (instead of needing to head all the way east out of Calpheon). When Valencia comes out, Calpheon will be even further away from the most recent and relevant content. If you need to craft something, you can still buy up the buildings in Calpheon and transport materials there to have workers craft them. Grunil is actually not something you want to be crafting, and anyway there are armor workshops all over (glish/keplan actually have them I think, as does altinova). Really the only reason I have things in Calpheon is because I do Calpheon Timber crates and I'm not sure I'd recommend those to someone just starting out anyway.

I got mine off the marketplace because I'm an impatient madman and I haven't gotten that far yet, but yeah... once I get into upgrade hell, amity sounds better than crafting it from what I've heard. I like the idea of living out of a city central to world bosses and current content. I'll probably go that route when I get there, and just pay for Transport to/from Heidel like I'm doing from Velia now.

PVP doesn't seem fleshed out, balanced, or rewarding beyond grief value. I dismissed the early reviews of the game complaining that there were interesting systems but basically no end-game content. I guess that's pretty much how I feel now though. I should probably stick to more traditional MMO's.

Calpheon with maxed storage slots (192), 12 workers, Taritas defence gear forge, T2 clothing workshop and T5 furniture workshop. Not shown, the 3 CPs worth of storage space in Delphe castle. Not necessarily the most efficient setup but a reasonable 69CP total. I could probably shave a few CP off that if I put effort into rearranging the storage. Technically Heidel is my main city too, but I ended up turning Calpheon into alchemy central and needed every single scrap of storage space.

It describes relevant activities that are usually unlocked upon reaching max level or close to it. BDO isn't so different that it doesn't have an end game. Like basically every other MMO, daily quests and repeatable content are usually emphasized. Like I said though, I should probably stick to more traditional MMOs.

It takes zero effort to get high tier gear. You won't get a liverto or anything but you can just buy +15 everything you need and it really doesn't take that much work to get money. You could literally just fish and get as much gear as you want eventually. It's very easy to play bdo casually. Especially with the auction house system keeping prices lower than they would be on like a wow style game.

BDO isn't so different that it doesn't have an end game. Like basically every other MMO, daily quests and repeatable content are usually emphasized. A lot of the progression systems that traditional MMOs offer at end game are things that BDO allows players to engage in throughout most of the experience even at lower levels. Case in point, one can participate in lots of different good money making activities even at early levels of BDO. Gear is not locked by level and you can begin enchanting it very early on. You can explore just about anywhere even at low levels since it is relatively easy to avoid combat if you want to. What I think that BDO truly lacks at least in terms of PvE are more extensive and time consuming progression systems which ultimately lead to a result that is something other than stronger gear. I'd love it if they introduced more ways to get things like dyes, costumes, furniture (this one isn't too bad), and pets. I know they are now talking about having more events which provide that stuff, but I want something significant added to the core game.

BDO isn't so different that it doesn't have an end game. Like basically every other MMO, daily quests and repeatable content are usually emphasized. To those of us who don't care for the more traditional MMO model, it can sound pretty drat hilarious. A lot of people use it as a catch-all criticism of anything that doesn't have raids and a permanently rotating gear treadmill, no matter how rich in other forms of content the game may be. It's a wide umbrella term that gets constantly used to support a very narrow perspective. There is a genuine western gamer school of thought that there is only one acceptable way to make online games, and it strikes me as pretty loving weird. So while you probably aren't that guy, and you have semi-valid beefs, when you say "no end-game content" what I hear is "where's the pve gear treadmill" Different strokes for different folks indeed.
