So I tried to purchase the Traveler's Package edition and it's like the game is trying to warn me to stay away by giving internal errors when I try to check out.

It's doing you a favor.. this game is hilarious/fun/terrible all at once. I regret buying it on account of how much time I've wasted doing repetitive poo poo for hours on end and having fun doing so.

Hopefully Daum doesn't deviate from standard protocol and runs the game into the ground in a few weeks/month.. otherwise some of us are going to be in trouble with this one.

People have said that you get more login rewards for having more alts. Is anybody else not getting any login rewards? Even on my main, I only ever received my Loyalties on my first day, and now the "Play every day" task stays greyed out on my Task tab...

Aside from maintenance, their website doesn't like Google Chrome. I had to use Internet Explorer.

You collect reward once per day per account, not character, through reward button in bottom-right corner of the screen.

You will want alts for energy sooner rather than later, but not necessarily from the start.

So, last night me Vrath and Hor (I forget your SA names :shobon: ). Were out exploring 30->45 ish content for grinding. With just 3 of us grinding out mobs the XP rate was pretty decent. Once you get 5 people into a group though holy poo poo is it ever a force/time multiplier. I think my "alt" might be a Valk or a Warrior because they can pull and group mobs so very nicely. Highlights of the night were:

Hey guys, boss mob over there, don't attack it it just killed me. 3 minutes later someone pulls it and it AOE wipes the part :derp:

Hey this orc automaton is flashing red I wonder wha......*BOOOM* dead.. :gibs:

Hey guys, swift boss mob here, let's kill it. *Dies* Swift boss mobs are not to be hosed with.

One thing they do that is very annoying is that their login page runs a javascript script that prevents you from pasting your password from the clipboard. Which is dumb as poo poo. So if you run into this, just disable javascript on the login page.

This may be a weird question, but I'm honestly not having any luck with it on the official site or through Google, so maybe someone here knows something.

I got a code for this game, which I'm supposed to redeem on the website somewhere. Only I can't find any place to redeem any kinds of codes anywhere. The only references to anything like this on Google are to old beta codes, which naturally wouldn't even work anymore.

Does anyone have any idea how to actually redeem codes?

Oh that patch client looks weird. Like something birthed by ANet. In the korean version you used to boot the game from their web page, through a hook that would start up your client in your computer.

Yeah I keep thinking that my monitor is dirty, then i realise it is just the weird dirty white the use on the client.

Can you make a comparison to Blade & Soul with how the combat works? I wasn't a big fan of that, but the theme/world looks better in BDO.

Way, way loving better. Combat is much more fluid.

The combat in BDO is a little more hectic and beat em up than B&S. The directions you press as you use one of your keybinds will influence how an attack behaves. The vast majority of your attacks dont even use the typical 1-0 binds, instead a combination of directions, charges, things like mouse clicks e and shift.

Both combats feel good. BDOs feel like its more free thanks to the input system, I still think B&S combat and classes have more depth though.

I'd say BDO has a lot more positional Depth, like with spacing dashes etc but yeah the actual classes arent super complex

Someone actually went back to Age of Conan and adapted directional attacks? My word.

I would like to say that like many goons, I am hopelessly addicted to this game, and am very happy with just how much depth is in BDO and the amount of things you can do. I haven't even really left the starting "area" of Velia yet and still have bunches to do, yet somehow feel very satisfied in that.

I'm also happy to see everyone working together and helping each other so much, I would seriously be lost right now without the advice of my fellow MMO spergs. :wooper:
