Thank you, that’s helpful. I am not usually the best twitch-heavy player and usually do better with characters who have a little more passive defense. I do like sorc thematically so still might give it a go for a few levels.

Lahn is the best low gear class out of those three and she can fly. I think she has pretty good sustain and probably has the best base stats out of the three. I main DK and the succession is weird. It feels overtuned for PVP and worse in several grindspots in PVE. I like it though.

I'm playing Warrior, who seems real fun. Might pick up berserker next because he looks really dumb when sat on a horse and i'm all about that.

You cant go wrong with mystic if you want a tanky powerhouse. She's one of bulkiest classes in the game, with strong self sustain and for some reason is also very mobile and hits like a truck. She doesn't have a succession yet though so its kinda hard to know where she'll fall after getting one but even now she's one of the best classes for low end and high end pve.

Does this game still have a ton of information overload? I tried to play for a while but the Korean style of UI design is really hard for me to follow. How're the P2W aspects these days?

It seems a little weird to tell someone new to the game to completely avoid the best places to grind. Better to scout it out quick and then go to town as per usual, and if someone wants to be a jackass they can enjoy the penalty for killing you. More specifically almost every spot I have been in was marked on the map in some way. Unless you expect them to grind on random beetles/deer/buffalo instead. I leveled a Striker up to 57 prior to the 22nd, and while it is fun to play the sustain is really bad and once I began dipping my toes into the Valencia storyline he was getting mulched. By comparison, the new class is absolutely amazing. Fantastic sustain, good mobility and while their animations are a little slow the skills hit like a truck and you can easily flow into other skills.

It does, but the UI at least looks a little more clean than before. I honestly dont really get the P2W arguments to this game because the amount IRL money you have to dump into outfits to re-sell on the markets to be able to afford high end gear is obscene and with the coming POE like seasons make even less sense since most people might jump into playing that instead of the standard servers. Who knows though how that will play out though

I came back to play this game and I am stuck trying to figure out which of my characters to gear first. All of them are at the point where I need to start investing in boss weapons etc, but I'm struggling to choose between my lahn, mystic, sorcerer and guardian. My main concerns stem from having a broken brain and you guys probably can't help with that but it's worth a shot, so here goes. I like lahn awakening, but I am worried that lahn succession will ruin my fun because it will be better numerically and at the same time less fun to play and that would honestly drive me crazy. Sorcerer is good all around and probably a safe choice except all the talk about how it's complicated to play and I'll probably try and learn it but in the end I might just mash buttons because I am lazy. Guardian seems cool except I am probably riding the new character high and haven't even tried her awakening. I think Mystic is just my safety class, it seems easy to play and I like punching things and there's a dragon! Games fun I am just paralyzed by indecision and know I am a chronic reroller.

Im thinking Mystic is overall the most solid choice because even if her succession ends up being better than awakening its still very satisfying to play and very similar to awakening anyways. I'm liking guardian a lot though and I'll probably stick with her. The hits feel so meaty, she has amazing bulk too, being able to grind a zone with red/purple mobs without taking a whole lot of damage and just leeching it back from her attacks, got from 50-55 in like an hour or two and tagging a level 1 Shai with her caused her to be 54 when I turned in all the shared exp so I can use her to life skill.

Thinking of picking this up on sale, any classes to stay away from for a pve focus? Reading reddit and official forums it seems everything but Warrior and Sorceress is crap, but that's pretty standard for those sources. But sounds like balance might be all over the place with all the awakening and succession stuff so just didn't want to choose something and regret it. Tried the Guardian a bit on a trial and had some cool stuff but might be interested in something with faster animations too.

Really enjoying the Guardian awakening, still retains the weighty feel of the battle axe while being way faster. Feels good to just drag an entire pack of mobs into another one with her sprint and then just decimate them at the same time. Too bad that this game is crashier than ever. I dont even know whats causing it anymore, just straight up CTD without error warnings. I'm going to try opening up my firewall and using a vpn to see if it helps, if it doesn't I'm going to start turning off background apps

The list is insanely long but for starters you should pick up the daily scroll bundle from the loyalty shop for the next two weeks, then make sure you run them with a party of gamers because they're valuable. Fourth anniversary events are starting and they will probably give away a bunch of poo poo so it's a good time to be a bdo gamer.

Started this game back up again. Joined some random guild while I was trying to figure out if I still want to stick with this thing. Bought it about 2 years ago and never used any of the 49.99 pack stuff so I came back to a load of goodies + more. Seems like the game improved from what it was a few years ago but I am not really too sure as I am playing it easy on the olvia servers.

There's no level cap...but essentially levels are pretty hard to come by after 61. I'd suggest trying more characters, or trying out some life skills. Also, there's nothing wrong with playing it and moving on, and maybe coming back for new content. They've been doing a really good job with QOL changes and smoothing out the lovely progression. Also, starting next week*, they're going to give out a tri boss set that can't be enhanced, so you can feel free to sell that or keep it if it's an upgrade / you want to play alts. Personally I'll probably sell the armor and keep weapons to try out a new class to me. *It's happened on every other bdo server but na/eu didn't patch it in this week or announce it but kakao sometimes lags behind on events for whatever reason

So what's your goal in this game? What are you building towards, on a short-term or a long-term basis? Are there raids or dungeons or cool boss fights? Is PVP the main name of the game? Also, which class would you say is the most BDO? The one that best matches the general aesthetics of the game and the sorts of things you will be doing as a player?

A tutorial or something like that would be awesome, because it's not just +1, +2, ..., +14, and so one, instead weapons get a special name and I have no idea what weapon is better.. I played Maehwa. It's melee class. I really like it.

On careful inspection, the Lahn looks classy as poo poo and nicely unique, and I like how they engage with the open world. Anything I need to know about if I want to dive in with one of those first?

Incidentally, what is the pre-ascension Lahn inspired by? I know people say 'Chinese martial arts', but I mean specifically. I've certainly never seen anything like that weapon before.

The edge seems to matter less than the fact that it's a large lump of metal swinging at very high speed. It does make it slightly more aerodynamic, I guess.

The edge only 'matters' because it's just a video game. I was more commenting that it doesn't exist in real life. There are plenty of examples of metal object at end of long chain/rope in chinese martial arts, just none of them are bladed.
