	Anyone played this or know anything about it? The castle siege scens in the trailer looked pretty cool. https://www.blackdesertonline.com/

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	I played about 200 hours on NA release. PROs - beautiful world. Character models are detailed, and stylized in a fun way. - combat feels good. The abilities are limited but they are very fluid. The combos are fun to do and see. - a good sandbox. The NPCs have personality and the mercanitle missions are actually fun. I spent 20 hours probably just carrying grain back and forth in my expensive ass carriage. - PvP is excellent. You can flag anywhere. The time to kill is about right, and the world is hazardous if you piss off the wrong guild. Grinding spots are highly contested. CONs - PvE is weak. Ultimately this is what drove me off. The game became too static. The lack of a variety of abilities is boring. The enemies are ultimately boring. - PvE world bosses are laggy to the point of being NON-functional; however, to get the best loot you MUST do them. It's just miserable. - P2W came into the game with being able to sell the cosmentics in the world. (They can only be purchased with real money.) - PvP is hard to control TLDR - Game is actually worth playing through once on a character you think is cool. The endgame (like most MMOS) is fucking cancer.

	Thanks for the review, WFB. I think I'll skip this one.

	How is the crafting?

	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.

You can progress by selling other players beer, carriages, horses, food... ...you name it! You don't need combat to progress financially. These mercantile skills are relatively balanced between each other, although grinding world bosses is more rewarding. It's pretty interesting; however, there is a peculiar system of upgrading all of these crafting and combat items... You sacrifice ingredients for a chance to upgrade an item. The more you fail, the better your chances� are of upgrading an item. Here's the kicker: you can transfer your "fail stacks" from one item to another. People buy cheap items and fail on them until there's a reasonable chance before attempting it on the real item. I forgot to mention that attempting an upgrade has a chance of degrading the item. This makes it dangerous. My TLDR still applies to the game. Black Desert may have captured some of the early joy of WoW crafting but it has the same fate... ...you're gonna be stuck doing laggy ass raids. Honestly, vanilla WoW is better.

	Thanks for the info! The search for another MMO continues.
