When I logged onto the website right on the dot (18:00 UTC), trying to refresh, error after error occurred. It took 45 minutes just to SEE the screen that would allow me to make a family name and then I got another few more errors. Naturally by the time I was able to log on completely, all the names I wanted were already taken by that point. (And yes my PC and internet are awesome). So my question is, why does EVERY pre-order client get to reserve names all at the EXACT same time on a server that can't even dream of handling that kind of traffic? It's black desert online, not google. (Google and Google logo are registered trademarks of Google Inc.) If the admission onto the servers is staggered, why isn't the ability to reserve a name staggered as well?? It should be staggered by at least a day to give people who purchased conqueror's package a chance to log on and make a name that first day. (Explorer's package the second day, Traveler's package the third.) Or allow people to make names a couple days prior to their ability to play BDO for the first time, as their "Package" indicates. Consider all the people who were at hard work that Tuesday morning (or slacking off at work) and had no chance to make a family/character name. Little do they know ALL good names were gone within the hour! I paid $100.00 for this game and could have EASILY been beaten out by a person who ONLY paid $30.00 for the game and won't even play the game for a few weeks afterwards. (Jokingly) But hey, he's got the name I wanted, so he's set! Seriously though, this definately needs to be fixed! I know of several very angry people whom this also happened to, buying the conqueror's package and not being able to make it onto the website, like some poor man's lottery. People who spent the most money on this game should have first rights to names. Second should have second rights and third to third. Congratulations to those whose pressing F5 skills were impressive. My condolences to the other 95% who failed to click refresh "correctly". Thank you very much for your time and consideration in reading this.

no, thank you.

:eonwe::eonwe:I need a tally of $100 sperglords who will be playing at the 96 hour headstart:eonwe::eonwe:

If we've got enough, it'd be a nice boon to be able to get a couple guild gathering missions in before $50 and $30 so we can increase the guild cap.

Guild Gathering missions are 90 minute timed guild-wide quests that allow you to keep what you gathered; the only requirement is that the guild collects it during the 90 minutes. It also gives both youAND the guild a respectable chunk of money when you complete, with the personal money based on how much you pine/iron/flowers you got. They're not terribly difficult, but they're gonna require more than 4 people to do reliably.

I can't just start a shitton of them and do them whenever someone feels like it; In addition to the 5 a day limit, they take 20k guild funds to start that we lose it if we don't complete it

Sperglord 1 reporting in.
Though assuming it launches at the same time as CBT2 i won't be on for 2-3hrs after launch.

Also this is pretty much overwhelming, I have no idea how to even start planning this out in a meaningful manner.

It is pretty much just the locations and tiers/levels of the crafting system/player and slave housing where higher level buildings craft better gear/items.

I'm not sure if you played any cbt crafting but you basically just invest contribution points which are totally refundable and a bit of silver to unlock the different types of houses all of which don't really matter unless you feel like setting up a npc slave network.

are there benefits to owning a ship other than just being able to use it whenever you want?

You can't interact with the ship at all unless you own it so you can basically just ride it.

If you own it you can use its cargo space which will be pretty important if you want to fish or trade on the ocean.

Well i bought the $100 pack for the headstart so i'm no bastion of wisdom but the $50 pack for the pet is only worthwhile if you want the other poo poo in it because for the $20 upgrade price you could buy 2 pets on the store? ( i think they are 900 pearls each)

that you have to be a level 50 to start a guild. On the other hand, that post was a year ago for a different region. Furthermore, I'm not sure if that applies to clans.

We've started guilds on the CBT before and while lewtt is a pretty amazing leveler i think he was just level 15?

Now that the headstart stuff is over, would anyone be willing to drop some info on the difference between the $30 and $50 packages? Is a tier 3 horse, horse flute, and my choice of pet going to really give me twenty dollars of an advantage over other dudes?

Game looks fun for an actiony game. I honestly know nothing at all about this other than what's been said in this thread which is infinitely more information I could gather from their website/forums. How many of you are planning on PVPing in this? Other than guild wars and castle sieges, this doesn't seem to be made as a kill man simulator. What are your experiences so far?

No its not worth it is the basic answer.
You will basically never use the horse flute and the majority of the time running everywhere is a better thing so you can build your stamina up. ( and it's not that hard to breed a t3 horse in game)

For $8-9 you can just buy the pet which is really the only useful part of the $50 pack.

Oh and about the pvp thing, you can only pvp past level 45 which takes a decent amount of time and only a few goons are currently that high.

I think the total pvp experience of the game so far is one goon being ganked by randoms while grinding mobs and some war declarations which resulted in 0 deaths and 0 kills.
