Warrior has the same problem. Scars of dusk is just better than everything else you have. But I enjoy the silly ammunt of CC warriors have.

In my opinion the fastest place to level at would be sausans. It requires a group, but 50-53 will fly by there.

Blocking is something you get used to popping when you are about to get hit. Valk sort of gets one dimensional when leveling because the ultimate shield throw completely wrecks everything and there is no point in using anything else while killing mobs except maybe the light spear attack that buffs your crit rating.

Yeah. Valkyrie in pve is only sidestep, celestial spear, and spinning shield. It's extremely effective, but somewhat monotonous. :(

At least the lance awakening will change things up a bit. If anyone wants to see it, this guy did an almost 10 hour stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3xgZsyLagM

Speaking of the links, one of them says the following: "First thing I did was make 4 characters. Abuse the early on easy contribution points.
You can get about 80 CP in a day."

What early on contribution points is this in reference to? Beginner quests? I got bogged down trying to do them all on my tamer, and it definitely took more than a day. So I'm assuming this is in reference to some specific sets of quests, or something. Anyone know?

Good question

Just got word back from the Tech Team, there is a network issue between the external server and our server. Once I know more I will update again.

The Velia, Balenos, Clapheon, and Serendia channels seem to be less affected

That's line for line the Sorceress awakening concept art. The tamer's outfit was a carbon copy of her most recent concept art too, so I was wondering if they'd do that but reeeeally hoping they wouldn't.

From the other art that we've seen I'm guessing we can look forward to awesome awakening costumes for berserker, warrior, and wizard, and one equally stupid for witch

People figured out how to link to any item in the database apparently. That's one swanky necklace though!

In wushu, the chat was html, goontang found the escape character and started linking anything including pictures from the database. Then we found out how to link to outside urls.

I hope it is the same problem in this game.

I was actually just thinking about this but guys do everyone a favor and don't say how this was done

BDO runs as administrator on your computer. Depending on how that chat code works there's high potential someone can send out malware to everyone in BDO and running as an admin process will make installing that crap a simplistic task.

Has anyone reported this to Daum?

reported that we could link html pics in chat in completely different game, age of wushu? or that any item from the game's db can be linked in chat, same as in a bunch of other games. no, probably not.

So folks were going on about hidden luck stat a week ago, now the new hotness is some classes have higher weights when loot drops. Redditors are claiming Warriors and Valks have the best loot weights out of any class while sorcs and berzerkers have the worst.

All this speculation about poo poo in this game is great and most of it is bullshit, however this is might be true. Look at Xzov as an example.

To any Bladers/Plums out there who are pressed for skill points, both Chase 2 and Ultimate: Chase are broken and do literally nothing, so you can save some points there.

After many test from various people at many different DP values it's looking like DP actually doesn't affect Musa / Maehwa at all, whether you are 150 DP or 0 you are taking same damage. However there are conflicting test where people are experiencing a difference, but majority do not.

If this is true and it's looking like it is, the two classes are pretty much broken and unplayable at this point. They are also testing in the thread if our AP is bugged or the % on skills are bugged because of the lack of damage, but there is no overwhelming evidence for that yet.

That bug has not been confirmed by a CM, he said he'd ask the devs about it.

If it exists, then it doesn't happen all the time. I don't think I've experienced it.

That's honestly a good thing, my tamer is starved for combat points and if it was life skills too I'd probably just keep doing that. Time to put my new Yuria weapon and Ridell earrings to use and start grindin'!

Check your mail in game if you were affected by the NA server outtages. You get a luck box which has a chance of dropping a Liverto Weapons bundle among other things.

How do they determine if you were affected by this or not, wasn't pretty much everybody affected by this?
