If your name isn't in here and you'll be with us in 5 hours, quote this post and I'll add you to the list.

We have a lot of cash cows, so we'll have to get at least a 3 guild missions done in the first day so we can get ALL of us 96ers in. when servers go up, ill be in mumble in the BDO channel. I may have to temporarily remove some of you to bring in other goons who have energy to spend on the gathering missions. Don't assume something bad happened if you get kicked; just message me whenever i'm on (lewtt)

So when the servers come up: SAVE YOUR ENERGY. Accept your daily reward that you get every time you log in, and save your loyalty points up.
If you are in a rush for something, you can spend loyalty points on energy restoration potions.
You can use your housing coupons for a bed which gives +3 energy every 3 minutes. Normal Beds are +2/3m.

Talk to ALL npcs who have a "?" on the minimap to increase your energy reserve. Follow the black spirit storyline to get your free donkey, and when enough people have gotten that far, I should be able to up the clan to a guild and start inviting. After about two hours in, I'll check our energy reserves for starting the gathering mission.

We get 90 minutes to gather whatever the mission tells us to get. Usually its like 80 maple and ash, but sometimes it can be 300 pine. All that matters is you GATHER it during the quest. It doesn't care what you do with it afterwards. When the guild mission completes, I turn it in, and all of you get payed out in silver based on how much you contributed to that mission. It's a LOT early on, so seriously, If I start a guild mission, hop straight to that poo poo.

not really. edan was the big boy server with the big boys and big boy tears but orwen is pretty chill too

lewtt: Apr 2, 2011; The Great Twist

tldr:

1. daum puts up servers
2. daum confuses the separate serendia instances; it is actually located on the orwen server when it is LISTED on the edan server
3. orwen serendia was actually ios serendia
4. we all get disconnected and find our characters on orwen
5. did a lovely poll of 20ish people currently on mumble to see if who wanted to go back and we decided orwen
6. the end

we're sticking here with 25/30 (so far) of the people that posted for headstart, so i'm gonna assume hyc is in his own solo/duo splinter

i never trusted the government anyway

orwen now has 40 out of 45 slots filled which was 10 more than said were B1GGBUXXing

the progress is pretty drat good though, despite the early morning fuckery. We had the entire guild out in the swampy forests, murdering pine and cedar to bless the lumbergod. We already have like 4mill $$$ headstart after first day

mushing around waiting for your energy to regen so you can hit a tree and not get the correct lumber was actually fun

anyway im out for the night

Why the gently caress was there drama about joining a server? For reals, what is wrong with goons?

i made the final call to stick on orwen, because after 7 hours in when daum explained the situation, we had people who were with us that would not follow if we returned to edan. I don't recall hearing anyone say they were gonna quit if we didn't go back to edan, so we settled it.

sorry to you fellas who got caught on edan after all the fuckery was done, but the only method of communication I have past mumble is updating the OP and making a post.

didn't have any clue people felt so strongly about edan until after the decision was made. as it is now though, we've got plenty of rp guilds, multiguilds, and animes on orwen, and we're stabilized with 40

Sorry, I was honestly just trying to give advice because this game is different than most wrt power leveling. My sensibilities were shocked by the sailor mouth response and I lashed out.

Play how you like, friend, and please join us on Orwen. I'm not even in the guild and probably won't be let in on account of declaring Lewtt my eternal nemesis for making me reroll an insignificant character.

guild cap is at 85. got one person on backlog and two extra spaces

I'm going to start sending out contract updates regularly, meaning you actually get to see the benefit of slaving over 35 mackerels and all the prior tree murder. the game auto sets limits of max guild pay based on your personal contribution, which you mainly get through participating in guild missions

I'm also going to put up a thread in PGS regarding trial keys once I see them activated in preorder bonuses, so don't post them in here

Razzled posted:

Can someone explain trade to me? Here's how I understand it...

When looking at the Purchase tab: The price on the left of the good is how much it's currently worth at that location. The price on the right is the base price that the percentage is reflected on. Therefore I want to pick up items that are doing poorly (<100% of base) and sell somewhere it's doing well (>100%)?

So then how do I interpret the prices found on the Sell tab? Just a way to see what is going for a lot in that particular location?

read the op

i dunno why it's so hard to at least ctrl F the OP before asking, you don't even have to read it

do workers whenever you want, but do nodes whenever you're gonna grind/farm there a while

so I've been basically unable to play the game at all since 6pm, since their servers now decide to boot me anywhere between 30 secs to 5 mins after I log in. the lag has just escalated to outright kicking me out
hoping this maintenance fixes it, it since its a seemingly common issue

I had this same problem a week ago. Deleting/moving the bdo folder in my documents fixed it.

i've uninstalled BDO entirely and removed said folder, but nothing was fixed.

i tracerouted to their servers and the connection dies completely shortly after arriving in san jose. I haven't dced yet after the maintenance, so we'll see come primetime if the issue arises again

regardless, I'm assuming they don't understand whats going on and/or are severely understaffed, as this was their response to my connection issue:

GM Felaxus Today at 08:59
Hello LEWTT,

Thank you for contacting the Black Desert Online Customer Support team. You are receiving this message in response to your ticket regarding the Serendia Server Placement issues during head start.

We have brought the Name Swap Registration feature live which you can access via your accounts page.
This service is currently setup for all victims of the Serendia server placement issue experienced during head start.

Unfortunately, due to technical limitations we're not able to offer the name swap page to all users, but we are actively seeking ways to make name changes available in the future.

This will allow you to register two characters on the same region that you would like to swap names between. Registration closes on the 23rd.
At the end of this month on 30/03/2016 the names of the two registered characters will be swapped.

This is in an effort to combat a multitude of issues, two of which we have detailed below.

Spelt character name wrong // Want to change character name:
Create a new character with the correct spelling or name and register them for the swap. This will in effect rename your original character.
Reserved character name is on the wrong server:
Create a new character on the correct region to continue playing now . Register the two characters to bring your reserved name to the server your new character is on.
We are still looking into compensation for victims of the Serendia incident further and will have more information soon.
A few things to note about this system before you proceed.

Registration closes on 23/03/16 at 08:00 UTC.
Everyone receives one coupon to use this system. Once you have registered your two characters you will be locked out from using this feature again.
These coupons will not be re-issued. You will only get one chance to choose the correct characters to register.
Do not delete a character registered for the name swap as this will cause your request to fail. As above, we wont re-issue a failed coupon.
Unfortunately we are unable to transfer characters across regions.
This will only swap the names between characters and all character related information such as items and experience will remain untouched.
Again this is an ongoing process of compensation and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
Click >>here<< to access the Name Swap Registration page.

If you believe you have received this message in error, or it does not address your question fully, please respond to this ticket.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered up to this point and thank you for your patience and understanding while we continue working on this situation.

Kind regards,
GM Felaxus

I had it happen with a boss fight last night and chalked it up to just random lag. Then I saw this video linked from an official forum megathread full of angry people suffering from it in pvp, so I don't hold out much hope for a quick fix.

Someone on reddit posted that apparently this kind of desyncing has been fixed in one of the Mediah update patches but who knows when that hits NA.

I had the same issue for a while. watch your send/receive, and if it's the same issue as mine, it was because of massive packet loss on my sends

I'm under 500 miles from the server on a 110Mb connection. I had no packet loss in any other game

some people reported fixing it by deleting your cache folder in black desert install folder, as well as the black desert folder in my documents

reenabling Nagle's Algorithm/Disabling Leatrix Latency Fix (if you've messed with those) slightly fixed it for me. VPNing did not, nor did any other fixes I tried over the week it occured

let me also add that if you have any network issues in general, it's gonna get exacerbated by BDO; korean networking isn't near as optimized as it should be regarding the infrastructure for the rest of the world
