Resources you will use a lot: A Lovely Map, and An Exhaustive Database Parks and Rec is current goon guild. Join discord and ask for an invite https://discord.gg/tXJYW48. Black Desert Online is one of Korea's latest entries into the long-standing series of time-burning chatrooms, colloquially known as MMO's. BDO has action based combat with a hefty focus on open-world gathering, crafting, and trading systems. A lot of activities like fishing, having a conversation with an NPC, and milking a cow are actual minigames, not cast bars. You can tame some wild horses, chop a bunch of lumber, have some workers build you a wagon out of that lumber, then take your wagon and deliver various trade goods between towns to pay for the furniture and crafting utensils for your ingame house, which you'll probably use to brew beer and start the whole process over again. Or you can just go kill orcs and loot their poo poo until you've died inside, then turn to chatting up half the NPCs in the game and becoming a socialite adventurer. Everything is voice acted, but it's Combat plays like a typical third-person ARPG. You have a few buttons for attacks, and how you combine those buttons will net you a whole bunch of different attacks. Holding W + and tapping LMB on a warrior will overhand swing, whereas holding Shift + tapping LMB will slash the ground so hard that dust flies up everywhere and somehow deals damage to everyone around you. Great for killing swarms of bees! You can even get a pretty pony and perform a few dazzling swordy and shooty maneuvers (Mounted Combat) whilst on your noble steed. There's a hotbar to place skills in, but very few abilities require it and most will actually penalize you with a cost increase if you don't press the native key combination. Breaking from the 2010 norms of f2p cash shop heroism, the game is buy to play and no premium/subscription. The official NA/EU cash shop is The CHARACTER CREATOR is the most important part of the game for a few people. You can even make and export your pretty princess for other people to use! If you don't like the idea of burning daylight to fine-tune half a dozen eye shape sliders (that you will never get just quite right), you can download awkward anime character designs and Angelina Jolie clones from people who won't see the sun anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72rFa_TscYk - Classes You get a normal weapon (like Longsword or Bow) and sub-weapon (Like Dagger or Talismans). These overlap for some classes. Awakened Weapons are unlocked at level 56, and further differentiate the classes. Some classes start use their awakening all the time, whereas others swap between normal and awakened depending on the situation. 56 will take you around 8 hours played to get once you know what you're doing. Warrior/Valkyrie - Sword and Board. Can block frontal attacks with a shield and survive for days. Warrior awakened weapon is greatsword for speedmurder and Valkyrie gets a (great)lance and thigh-highs, which make her good at running towards things. Warrior: Durability, Can Block, Grab, Damage (Awakening) Valkyrie: Durability, Support, Can Block, Grab, Mobility (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKmFx7l700Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6jZaWjq6vM --- Musa/Maehwa (Blader/Plum) use a Blade (katana) and shortbow. They're a melee/midrange mobile class. Best class for running away from everything. Awakened weapons are an asiaglaive for Blader, and a Spear for Plum. Musa: Mobility, Block (Awakening), AOE (Awakening) maehwa: Mobility, Block, More Mobility (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w-_xnWy1kwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOEOFhCWPS8 --- Ninja/Kunoichi are heavy cc assassins. Tricksy trapsie poo poo and a short term stealth. They use Daggers and Shurikens. Ninja gets a whole bunch of extra swords as awakened weapon for anime reasons. Kunoichi gets a giant Ninja: Burst DAMNAGE, Grab, Mobility, Block (Awakening) Kunoichi: AOE damnage, Grab, Block, Midrange (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10nH6qOml_E&t=45shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdtr0F1UgeI&t=10s --- Wizard/Witch - Standard mage class of every high fantasy game. They are the god kings of guild fights and mass pvp, because they can easily wipe out dozens of clumped spergs n' zergs with meteors, lightning, and various wizardry poo poo. Witch is a wizard with boobs, which turns it into a different class. Awakened weapons are the main difference between the two: Wizard gets fiery and icy balls for the big damage, whereas witch grows balls of air and thunder. You also kind of get a pet Wizard: BIGGEST AOE DAMNAGE, Long Range, Pet (Awakening) Witch: BIGG AOE DAMNAGE, Long Range, Support, Pet (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjlYkedLzqA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-72Z4pv8YJc --- Ranger - 720 Trickshot noscope elfy class. Very powerful if you can kite and burst properly. Awakened weapon is a frosty sword. Fast Paced and technical. Tamer - Tiny anime schoolgirl with a dog. Very mobile and bursty, assuming their dog cooldown is up. Awakened weapon is a staff. Ranger: Burst DAMNage, Mobility, Midrange, Grab (Awakening) Tamer: Burst Damnage, Grab, Mobility, Can Block (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w19y1rWUtkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKp2YJDt6_Q --- Sorceress – MMA punchwitch. Melee/ranged hybrid glass cannon, with a complex rotation and high skill cap. Awakened weapon is a scythe, giving some pretty crazy AOE moves. Dark Knights use evil elf magicks and wield long rear end kriegsmessers(swords). Swordmage spellsword. A Sword-slinging super-slicer class, with a flurry of sword stabs and sword slashes with many millions of swings. Disdains swinging said swords like real swords once you get awakening (long-range stabs). Sorceress: Burst Damnage, Mobility, AOE (Awakening) Dark Knight: Bigg Area Damnage, Can Block, Midrange AOE (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfpyZ1ZyX1I&t=20shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAFlOhxRJsw&t=30s --- Strikers are monk fisters focused on fluid combos. Pick up guys by the head and run around. Awakened weapon just gives them golden armor and clones and poo poo. Very fast paced class. Mystic is the female counterpart to Striker. Gets a water dragon spirit animal, but the asian snake kind Striker: Grab, Burst Damage, Reaction Block, Pseudo-Pet/Clones (Awakening) Mystic: Grab, Utility, Mobility, AOE/Debuffs (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp1ysa-vSGc&t=25shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84PLa9yywiA --- Berserker - Giant hunchback guy with two axes. Pick enemies up, then throw them into another enemy. Or throw them onto your axes. Or throw them onto your fist. Awakened weapon turns you into megaman with a crazy cannon arm with wide area damage and range. Very tanky and real grapply. Lahn - Obligatory Chinese Dancing Martial Arts Class class released in attempts to grab a portion of the Chinese MMO market. Gets chainblades for awakening weapon. Berserker: Grab, Durrrability, Midrange (Awakening) Stripper: Grabs, Mobility, AOE, Midrange (Awakening) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myXtkInwqVM&t=8shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuXJW7YKNi4 --- Mechanics and Whatnots - Guilds are a bit weird in this game, but you can own towns and lands and poo poo, setting taxes and getting bonuses for guildies. Parks and Rec is currently active goon guild!
Gear/Equipment itself is pretty simplified in this game. The damage you deal is almost entirely based on your attack power (AP) – their armor (DP), and whatever damage modifier the ability you use has, and whether or not you hit an iframe.
--- Map/Nodes – This is complicated
Housing is instanced and in static spots in this game. There's a few hundred pieces of real estate in the game, and you can own all of them!
Workers are your indentured servants. You buy them once and they work for life. You need them to use workshops, which are how you produce equipment, gear, and most poo poo besides food and potions.
Gathering/Crafting is a big focus of the game. Most of these activities require energy to perform, which is a player resource that regenerates slowly over time (1 per 3 minutes), or faster if your character sleeps in a bed (2-3 per 3 minutes). When you run out of energy, you can't do any gathering or crafting poo poo via your character (workshops/workers are separate). You also can't do conversation minigame with npcs, can't milk cows, and a lot of other poo poo. A lot of quests will regenerate your energy as well. Your energy cap can be increased by completing knowledge tabs about the game world. No, it doesn't make sense.
Processing is how you refine raw materials.
Cooking is mostly about making buffs and being bored while boiling water
Alchemy is super loving complicated, time consuming, expensive, and boring, but it's required for a ton of high end crafting items
Fishing is for when you need to go afk or have the raging desire to play quicktime events.
Farming is an offshoot of gathering, but a bit more complicated.
Trading in BDO means delivering local trade goods from a town or settlement to another town. There's an auction house, but that's not the same!
Hunting is all about shooting dozens to hundreds of bullets into an animal whilst facetanking it
Sailing is all about riding a horse except its a boat and in water and other people can join in on the boredom
Amity/Conversations are for when a npc has feelings and doesn't feel hard enough about you to sell or tell you things. Having the same horoscope as an NPC supposedly makes it easier talking to them Jackard posted:Amity is easy and I don't even understand how card abilities work. TVDinna posted:The only accessories you should ever be enchanting are Crescent Guardians, Tree/Basilisk belt, Ogre/Laytenn, Tungrade/Whale/Khalk earrings. Buy everything else.

Alright so I'll use this threadkalstrams posted:Sorceress, Blader, and Ninja have some learning curve. Everything else is playable from the get go. Doesn't the required leveling account for the learning curve? Based on the XP rates, you'll definitely have time to figure your class out.

kalstrams posted:Not really, since even bad players pose significantly higher threat than any mobs in the game. You will learn what your buttons do, there's no doubt in that, but the key tricky bit of all three classes, i.e. being extremely squishy, is not something put to a test during the grind. Sure, mobs can and will kill you, but it won't be Ranger McSpergisson which kills you in 0.5x A presses that you will gain your levels upon. Oh yeah, I've heard that there's practically no difficulty in a review someone did of the Korean release. I look forward to taking advantage of this in the PVP early on.

Are people exaggerating how grindy this is? Because I want to play, but I'm definitely going blader (when they release the class) so that means two characters. Not to mention the poo poo I've been reading about how NA's XP rates are like 4-5 times less than Korea's, which is insane to me.

Alexander DeLarge posted:Are people exaggerating how grindy this is? Because I want to play, but I'm definitely going blader (when they release the class) so that means two characters. As to your future Blader, just transfer all the amour and poo poo from the old character. You will then need just to figure out the weapon, provided your old class was "compatible". I don't know how to gear out Blader, so I can't say you which class would work better for that. Another thing is that Blader is being completely remade, so it can turn out to be a poo poo unfunny class you loathe. Godmode Enabled posted:Ground Floor
