The cool thing about discord is that literally anyone can set up a splinter server at any time so you can tell Kimsemus to go gently caress himself, pimp your own VOIP-fief, and spend all your time in mumble anyway.

I really don't want to blind purchase this game before I try it, and I keep missing the keys posted in the reddit thread. Are they easily obtainable? There seems like there's heaps floating around.

I thought I also heard something about how which mode you ran it in (windowed, fullscreen, etc.) could have a pretty dramatic effect on performance. I'm mostly just happy that my Radeon HD 6850 can run this game at all.

Buy the $30 pack so you have an extra $70 on hand to invest in Star Citizen ships.

I think we'll get most existing content on an accelerated schedule, but they'll want to release the updates at a steady rate to keep players interested rather than dump everything at once and have players get bored waiting for new content.

My theory has been that they'll keep costume prices high but host frequent, brief sales. My other theory has been that they'll keep costume prices high because people will still pay.

So when you get a knowledge grade for killing a mob it's randomly assigned and doesn't change so you have to reset it at the library and try again to get a higher grade? Am I understanding that right?

Yes, but it's pointless to do this if you're not planning to hang around and kill that mob a lot in the future.

So are there many goons playing on Edan? I rolled there before all the fuckups happened and hit level 22 before checking this thread again. Don't really feel like rerolling now that ive redeemed my pay2win stuff from the conquerers pack.

SFD is playing on Edan. We're smaller and more casual than the main goon guild right now, but we're open to server-shenanigans refugees. My family name is Wildlife if you want to add me.

I'll write a proper guild introduction when I'm not phone-posting from bed.

I just sent this to lewtt to put in the OP, but in the meantime:

Starfleet Dental (SFD) opens its flabby arms to goons on Edan server. We are a competitive Guild Wars 2 raid guild that has branched out into casual Black Desert Online animal husbandry. Great Successor Arus and Grand General Visidan couldn’t be arsed, so Notable Member Probad will be leading the effort. We are an equal-opportunity employer of non-dickheads. To apply, register on our forums and follow the directions in Public Registration.

I didn't see your whisper when I got on this morning (I was AFK-fishing through the night), so I tried to send you a friend request. Let me know if you didn't get it. In the meantime you can head over to our forums to get registered there and get access to our custom-tailored VOIP system.

SFD is very special.

I've heard the same thing about sorceress, but usually with the caveat that her awakening (we don't have these yet) really improves her pve game.

I'll be more helpful: Orwen goons have already hit guild cap and started an overflow guild. I haven't even had to increase SFD's player limit yet. We're smaller if size matters to you.

Been enjoying the game but had an honest realization after finally diving into all the node stuff:

You link nodes to make trade routes, which lets you hire workers, which lets you make beer, which lets you keep workers making more beer... wait, what's the point of this? I assume at some point it'll generate income somehow, I'm just finding that reason kind of opaque from my current viewpoint. Anyone got insights?

Eventually this process results in a fancy boat.

You can make food that recovers more worker stamina than beer does, but I don't know if it's any more energy or cost efficient.

It's in no way more energy efficient, but if you got a guy who just, say, cracks wheat, it's not bad. I use a mixture of oatmeal and beer. Beer is ridiculously easy to make, but oatmeal is worth 2.5 beers so sometimes it feels good to use.
Also I feel bad feeding people nothing but beer.

You can also make Cheese Pie, but that's a waste of perfectly good Milk.
