The mobile version soft launched in some places, you'll need a VPN for the US though. Been playing a bunch because I'm stuck in hospital, but it's basically just BDO with the node worker thing swapped out for a town you manage. Made a Goon squad guild on the American server if anyone else is a gigantic idiot like me I guess.

I’m down and a complete newbie to this game. What name do you need for the invite? Auto attack is a++++ for dumb grinding games likes this

I think you need to go to Guild and search GoonSquad, or add "Estes" as a friend... I think. I think that's my family name but the story calls me that instead of the character name so who knows.

Applied as Hobo. Also the reddit poopsockers are freaking out s out missing healing skills on classes. It doesn’t seem like a big deal around level 20 to me though?

It's mostly annoying for things like Kzarka where if you're at lower CP levels and bad at dodging you can easily chew through a couple hundred medium HP pots.

Thankfully they're cheap and 150k Silver for 300 of them is nothing by the time you're at that point.

I’m about to hit 45 and the potions don’t seem like a big deal. If I had more bag space I could probably afk overnight but I haven’t dropped any real money... yet. I’ve still only got like 1700 LT which is getting awkward. I can’t find a way to turn off looting either. Can you just house your pets?

I'm not sure, I assume you can unequip them if you have more than 3 but that doesn't prevent junk drops which are the real LT killer. I guess you could just not feed them, too.

Make sure to check your character pearl inventory to see if you have any weight upgrades.

I saw this game had recent very positive reviews on steam. Does that mean they removed the RNG clusterfuck that is end-game gear grind?

As far as I know, lifeskilling on Xbox is pretty much dead, so possibly the best way to make money could be through imperial cook/alchemy sales. Use bdodae.com as a reference for crafting stuff. Also, it's good to have your fishing character(s) stop at level 49 so that you can fish outside of safe zones. If you get into farming, have that be something that you do specifically on one character.

There's even more rng clusterfuck action because there are a bunch of lifeskilling tools and gear to enhance now. But I feel like the game is more accessible than I ever expected, at least for playability through the new questlines. Many good to great qol changes have been made in the past year but the endgame endless gear slog is still there.

Do all the main story quests from the black spirit, they give good rewards to get you started. Also the black spirit will offer some non-story quests that give pretty good rewards too, probably do those as well. You can actually see a lot of the game's quests, including ones you haven't even accepted yet, in the in-game quest log. It'll show all the main story quests for each region and some other stuff in there, and you can look at the quest rewards before you even do them to see if you want to bother.

Other than that, take your time and enjoy the game. There is no rush to max level like most other mmos, this game doesn't even have a max level. Most of the content isn't level gated in any way, so if you wanna try a thing in the game then try the thing. Almost all of the professions (aka lifeskills) and worker node empire stuff you can get started on as soon as you finish the opening tutorial quests. If you want to, that is. Don't do anything you don't wanna do in the game. You can't permanently gently caress up your character, there aren't any absolute must have quest rewards, and so on. There are asstons of quests if you enjoy traditional mmo type questing, but if you don't, then you can skip all of them.

In your skill descriptions take note of any skills that mention "Frontal guard" or "super armor." Frontal guard blocks any attacks in front of you while the attack is happening, super armor means you are immune to CC effects like knockdowns and stuns, and so on.

You're gonna be confused as gently caress, the game has a lot of obtuse systems and poo poo, and the in-game descriptions are often google translated gibberish. Just roll with it and if you have any specific questions I can answer them.

Nah the enhancing system has not changed. However ever since they added the central marketplace system which let most gear actually sell for its true market value, you can generally just save up your silver and buy your gear off the market pretty easily now. There's a few random things that you'll still have to enhance yourself if you want them, like some of the high end lifeskill mastery gear they added a couple months ago. But as far as combat gear goes you can buy a full set of ~competitive~ endgame gear off the market if you have the silver for it and bypass the enhancing system completely. At least on the PC version, I'm not sure how the console markets look.

On average it's pretty significantly cheaper to enhance stuff yourself than buy it, but of course "on average" does mean you can get hosed. But the most profitable thing you can actually do in the game currently is enhance gear and sell it, assuming you know enough about marketplace prices and trends to enhance the correct items in the first place.

Once upon a time I played this, and this past month I've been playing it again.

Lots of changes... it seems less grindy than before, at least for leveling poo poo. I've gotten some characters to 50 in just a few hours, but I suppose gear is still horrific.

I guess I should join up with the guild once more since randoms keep spamming me with loving contracts.

Leveling is probably 4-8x easier than when you last played. Gear is a little easier but still a hell grind depending on how far you want to get. Join guild if you want to--you get some okay passive bonuses and you don't have to do anything

this server is already open but the other two aren’t.. ultimately is there no difference?


unrelated.. I’ve been playing on KR for over a year and was excited to roll on US servers... but WTF where are all the classes!?!?!? Are they going to literally take another year and a half to release them here? if so that’s really fuckin lovely.

It's one server per region, with each server having dozens of channels.

What are you talking about? All of the existing classes are on the NA/EU servers.

Im really enjoying it, I think more so than the desktop version even... the streamlined skills / enchanting as well as auto pathing/combat appeals to my very fickle gaming times. Nice to be able to pop it on auto when I have to step away for a minute for whatever reason

for those playing the mobile version, don't spend your shakalakataku gold coins until you unlock tier 5 so you can pull golds. you will have well over 1k coins to spend by then so it's a nice cash out
