BDO is a game where you build a personal economic empire of paid NPCs to craft items for you and then you sell them on a fake auction house. Then you can grind enemies to level up infinitely and do some pretty standard kMMO PVP. Key words here: "personal", "fake", etc. It's a single player game unless you get ganked. It's a fun grindhouse (I prefer warframe for this tho) but it has pretty much nothing in common with lif.

I am still on newb island in this game. But the biggest difference from what I can tell so far is that in BDO you can't just leave a bag of dung anyplace you like. In Life is Feudal: MMO you totally can. I mean, I don't even think you can get dung in BDO.

Also, in LiF you can at least find your friends and static bases, etc

In BDO, enjoy playing channel roulette.

Isn't BDO more like a theme park MMO? This is closer to wurmonline or something where you build up forts and fight each other with swords and bows.
Earlier today I was out with some random allies fighting a giant chinese base and after around 10 minutes of busting heads, 20+ guys in armor pushed across their land bridge to fight us and it was utter chaos because we only came with 6 players so it was 6 vs 20+ with more friendly fire on their side than damage on us, we lost one and the rest of us managed to retreat with 10-15 kills over the whole fight

Here's a shot of part of the enemy army, taken on the lowest possible settings because my PC is a poo poo heap

  1. Buy the game or convert your Life is Feudal: Your Own steam game over to the MMO.

Ends up I got LiFYO via the E3 2016 Digital Ticket Humble Bundle and already redeemed it June 2016. The MMO shows up in my library, so I set it to download overnight. I setup some account on the feudal website. Do I just link my account to my steam and I'm good? I didn't link anything yet because I want to make sure I'm not loving trapping myself or whatever.

Edit: Solved. Apparently the launcher has you link an e-mail to your MMO steam game the first time you launch, and then it gives you a ticket.

So you’ve decided to be a bloody peasant:
...
• Spawn into game. You will appear on newbie island. It has some RP dipshit name but that’s not important. There are some tutorials there, but that’s not important either. Just look around until you spot the giant blue glowing penis shooting into the sky. Like any good goon game, your first mission is to get that dick. Inside the tower is a ferryman looking statue thing. Talk to him and tell him you’d like to go to the mainland. It is very important that you make sure that you are going to the NA server (Buyan). If you go to the EU server you just wasted money, friend. If you paid 30 bucks for the game, you’ll have a ticket already as well as enough favor in the store (hit Esc to go to store) to purchase a 2nd ticket for an alt.


please advise

I picked "North America" in the launcher, made my character, and as soon as I got to the ferryman shrine this is what I see

no option for a Buyan

I'M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHERFUCKER!

Alright, things I've learned thus far:

#1.) Are you constantly wondering "WHY THE HELL THIS GAME IS TRYING TO DOWNLOAD 300MB MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY?" to which I respond "Of course, me too. It's terrible. In-game days are 5 hours long (Why aren't they some time length divisible by 24 in whole hours? They probably don't want us to systemize stuff), and every 5 hours, the day changes over. When they day changes over, it saves the Terra. I guess that's the earth moving changes or something? Someone can explain what the terra file exactly holds. Anyhow, so every 5 hours, you must download the 300MB terra file for when the day changes over.

Sucks for people like me with 1.5 mbps fixed wireless internet out in the sticks. Anyhow, so that's that.

#2.) Steam client sucks. I think I misunderstood but I thought you had to install the steam version of the game to convert your previous "Life is Feudal: Your Own" game to the MMO ticket so you can send a free character to the main island. You don't need to install it on steam. Don't do it. Create an account on the website, link your steam account, download game client via link in thread, get free ticket. Why not install on steam? Because A.) Steam doesn't really like you playing multiple games at the same time, but primarily B.) I'm pretty sure Steam had me download the latest loving game update twice. I had already downloaded the update INSIDE the client at like 5AM PST or whatever and logged in to see the devs piss all over fiber gathering, but then in the afternoon Steam wanted me to download another 1.7GB.

#3.) If you fall into the moat/ditch around the castle, there's bark boxes every now and again on the ledge of the moat/ditch. Pick up the box, drop the box at a level where you can jump on it and get out of the ditch/moat, then replace the box where it was originally.

#4.) There is no free house inside the castle. The OP is a lie. You heard about the grand goldgoonrush and came running seeking out richestears. There will be many tears, but all the fancy spots are taken so you get the patch of dirt covered in poison ivy and lice. You must build yourself a poo poo shack on the outside of the castles walls. Don't worry, this is no big deal, but it'll be your first sense of accomplishment in the game at having built something.
a.) Go make a shovel by taking a branch from any tree (ANY tree, branches are no big deal), then right click, make tool, and you can see what ingredients you need to make a primitive shovel under tools. You can get flint and plant fiber by doing "Gather Materials" on a ground tile, and then after a wait some crap will spawn around you that looks like rocks and plants and stuff. Then you can level ground. People drop a bunch of two ingredient foods on the edge of autism forest outside the front gate. That said, some awesome person has been leveling a bunch of ground outside the castle to the west. You can easily just setup your poo poo shack there.
b.) You'll also need a primitive axe (also called hatchet by system text), saw, and hammer. You can make these the same way you make a shovel pretty much.
c.) To build your poo poo shack, right click a flat tile, go to build, and residential, and then it should be shack or hut or something. It only requires uh... I think 4 building logs, 10 boards, and... 20 plant fiber? this will setup a construction plot to dump your poo poo.
d.) To get your building logs and boards, Equip your axe and saw. You can do so in the P menu. There's 4 equipment boxes around ye olde portrait of your character. The top two are for two handed items, bottom two are for one-handed items. So put your saw in one of the top slots, axe in one of the bottom slots. You can equip your hammer to one of the bottom slots too.
d2.) Go find a tree. Like the OP says, DO NOT loving CUT DOWN THE APPLE TREES, MULBERRY TREES, OR ANY loving 100 QUALITY TREES. I guess 94 quality trees are okay though? Either way Deadtear-be-his-slave-name will come find you and gently caress you in the rear end if you do. There's some 60-ish quality big maple trees west of the fort. You can't miss them, as they're also autistically close together. Chop with your axe, then start sawing out logs and boards from the felled log. If you want you can strip out the bark too to make boxes, whatever.
d3.) Take your poo poo back, equip your hammer, and dump it into your construction area you made it part c by interacting with the construction area and dumping your poo poo into it. Status bar will play with hammer noises. Rinse and repeat. Eventually you'll get all the equipment and house will be done.
d4.) You may get a message during the last building load saying SOMEONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM BUILDING THIS. You may suspect some officer is abusing their power and revoking your building permit or something (This should be a game feature. Only if I become an officer though). Instead, it's the game doing a poor job telling you that you're standing in the middle of the building, and that you need to interact with the building by moving to the furthest edge of the site without being inside of it so that you don't get stuck in the walls like some horror movie.
e.) Hoorah. You built a loving poo poo shack. You're don- NO YOU ARE NOT DONE DON'T LOG OFF YET. Make sure to right-click the building and claim it as your home. Now when you do cool rear end naked crossbow raids stealing other people's poo poo, once they rape you in the rear end, you won't be stuck in the northern snow wastes a million miles from home. Welcome to Ye Olde Detroit.

Hope some of this helps someone.

P.S. Learn from the mistakes of some dumb karmafleet people earlier and don't be a whiny drama baby. Or do, we could all use the entertainment I guess :allears:

Arven

My advice to newbies is that if you're being attacked by another player 1v1 and you aren't <30 seconds running from a door you can hide behind or water, it can be better to stand and fight rather than run. Most of the people we gank while we're out raiding run from us, and all that does is make it easier to shoot them in the back with a crossbow. It can be annoyingly difficult to kill people in close combat in this game, and if you're able to call out for help over mumble or discord it may buy us enough time to get to you.

If they dismount to fight you (this will most often be the case) hug their horse and strafe circles around it and hit it with whatever you have. They will either hop on it to ride away or have to be careful about hitting you and not the horse. If they are mounted with a lance, hug a tree and yell for help.

That said, we aren't raided much. The few times I have seen it happen the attackers are met and destroyed by a wave of naked crossbowmen.
