Black Desert Online NA/EU version

So I played in the CBT's and noticed a bit of cash shop p2w. I should say Payouttheass2w with their prices. The whole game seems like it was designed for f2p with cash shop instead of b2p. I expect it to go f2p by early next year. That being said the p2w portions involved things such as, breeding horses for ingame cash and faster mounts, minor stat bonuses from store bought costumes and pets that give passive xp% and other little effects.

On the other hand the graphics were splendid and ran at a steady 60fps (I capped it at 60) on a i5-4670k and a 970gtx. I played as a ranger and had a blast with that classes hidden combo's. I think it is class specific since I couldn't find such things with the other classes. Maybe somebody else plays on the KR or RU version and knows?

The voice acting was so bad as to be hilarious, so I must rate that on the positive column  Cheesy

So you want to know about an exploit?

its pretty smooth overall. The combat mechanics are a nice change from tab targeting that most mmo's use. ofc, there are some times that targeting messes up and takes over so my fireball doesn't hit between mobs, but centered on one. I think it is an issue of operator error though. The use of many abilities while mounted is a nice change also. The one area I dislike is the jumping physics. I am not sure what it is, but it just doesn't feel right.

While character creation is well done, I could make a potbelly female sorcerer Grin , character development is lacking. To start with, classes are either male or female. Skills at low level are varied, but after you cap, you will find you have every skill.

Population was strange, currently it is (day 2) headstart 100$ buyin and yet most servers were packed. I noticed a tiny amount of intermittent server side lag during the 1st day.

I should have gotten some keys, but sadly my email is empty. When I get them I will post here. 37gig D/L.

I bought in at the $50 level to check it out... so I'll be on tonight to get a character up and running.  I only played about 1 hour of the closed beta, so have no comment about the game play, but it was enough to get me to pony up the $50 in case it was something I might like.  Dude I work with says he isn't bothering with it even though his guild has moved to it as it seems too grindy, and he just finished up with Arche Age.

We are both currently enjoying Blade and Soul though, which is kind casual and relaxing to play...

I got 2 friends who seem happy with the game, but I'm not convinced yet.

Watched some videos but it doesn't make me want to buy a pack.

Particle effects and button mashing.

PvE enemies that are completely ineffectual.

Clusterfuck PvP where you can't even tell what's going on because PARTICLE EFFECTS.

Also there's fishing.

slowed down and started doing crafting
some of it is amusing but it seems like a better deal just farming mobs

once you get it rolling the crafting system is pretty good

I reccomend buying a horse/cart though.
Building/catching them is not efficient unless you want the best one.

pvp is A+

hilarious ambushing and griefing.
if you're not retarted you can survive it, but it leaves a big door open.

Like I'm talking Party A engages a dragon, and Party B comes in and wipes Party A. Party A gets bigger, comes back and rapes Party B.

Sounds like fun for the dragon.

some are much more complicated than others.

PvP, Pecking order:
Rangers (pew pew pew) > Sorcs (mid-range brawler) >Wizard/Witch (support, powerful in big groups) and Valkrie (Tanky, powerful 1v1) > Barbarian (controller) > Warrior

Am playing Valk and the interactions of the different abilities are really interesting. Plenty of ability interrupts and combo shortcuts.

Rangers got nerfed and Barbarians buffed recently. Don't know how that panned out.

How heavily into PvP is it? Are we talking WoW-levels? Really, if a game puts any more effort into PvP than DDO did, I don't wanna touch it with a 10-foot clown poll.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

we're talking constant open world pvp
castle sieges (king of the hill type stuff)
battlegrounds (team deathmatch)

you can not stop others from pvping you
the amount of extremely good farming areas are highly contested

you get 300k karma
-60k killing someone
-20k killing their horse wagon

you lose xp on death
you lose more xp on death if  you flagged on someone else (less if they flag on you)

after hitting 0 karma when you die your gear literally disappears (we are talking 50 hours to farm for some of these items)

you regain karma through pve

---

game is hilarious and entertaining
the next expansion is releasing an area for people with negative karma called an "outlaw town" where you can be pvp'd in town---and the guards of the town attack anyone with positive karma---and there is no penalty of gear drop on death

certain things are exclusive to the town.
