^ Black Desert ^ - Open Beta RU

eekfek · 13 Oct 2015 at 17:13

For those who want to test the game out before it's proper EU release

details ;- (not my work)

Download : - http://www.mediafire.com/download/3npgj2x1lngwx9g/BDO_English_RUver.zip

1. Create an account at gamenet.ru
2. Use google chrome to help translate or something similar
3. Go to https://gamenet.ru/register/ and Register
4. Then go to https://gamenet.ru/security/ and click "Email"
5. That will send an email asking you to validate
6. The email should start with boxy N (looks like a box missing bottom part) -- click the long link in middle that ends with "dummy=1"
7. This will validate your email
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Run PlayBlackDesert.exe
9. Let it run until it asks you to login
10. Exit the launcher (also exit on the systray(bottom right))
11. Copy qgna_ru.qm.qm to C:\Program Files (x86)\QGNA\languages (Default Location) or wherever your QGNA Folder is
12. Relaunch the launcher and most of it should be in English - Merica.
13. Login with the account you made on gamenet.ru (Email & Password)
14. Start downloading Black Desert (It may start automatically but if not click its associated section of GameNet)
15. Once the game has downloaded (30gigs), copy 'prestringtable' folder from 37_Russia_EN.zip (file you downloaded) to the folder you downloaded the game to.- I.E. *folder you downloaded to*\live
16. You should see bin, bin64, Cache, Log folder in there too
17. All done! You should have broken english launcher/game ready to play!

18. Me making fun of the broken english is only my way of showing great appreciation for the people who made this beta work with english -- Truly, Thank you!

The client will take an age to download, roughly 30gig so leave it running and find something to do.

I haven't got into the game yet but hopefully the ping will be as good as the Blade & Soul ru version which was very playable.

Oh gosh. I wanted this for so long but couldn't read Japanese.

Aedus · 13 Oct 2015 at 17:42

it's a toss up between this and blade and soul for me. Downloading now.

Ransom · 13 Oct 2015 at 18:33

any idea how long the beta will last

eekfek · 13 Oct 2015 at 18:34

All working and installed, I'll get some performance and screenies soon.

If you have launcher problems ;-

If your launcher appears to be stuck on connecting with a group overlay popping up like http://i.imgur.com/mz8Wbiy.png, try fully closing the launcher and make sure it is closed in your system tray.

Go to your computer then follow this directory: Users\Name\AppData\Local\Vebanaul\GameNet.

Delete the folder "torrents" and restart the launcher. (thanks sarahd094)

Mines 20Gb downloaded, another 10 to go

varkanoid · 13 Oct 2015 at 18:55

The graphics look really good so downloading this now for a look see.

eekfek · 13 Oct 2015 at 19:06

The character creation is a game within itself !! WOW !!

There's a silly amount of tweakage available, but one thing to note is that some customizations have a 'P' in the box meaning it's a cash money purchase.

So far it runs smooth with High settings and the English patch is decent!

Nice one been waiting for this game for a long time! Downloading as a type

TonyTurbo78 · 13 Oct 2015 at 20:02

I managed to make my way through the Korean version, with my google translater at hand lol. It's going to be an incredible game, it really is.

how long does it take for the verification email to come through guys? ive been waiting 15 minutes now.

varkanoid · 13 Oct 2015 at 20:46

Dont think its my cup of tea. As a giant with massive axes I attacked a weasel, then got killed by a fox.......

Aedus · 13 Oct 2015 at 20:49

I prefer blade and soul personally.

Graphically amazing, character creation is incredible, but gameplay just feels lacking for me.

TonyTurbo78 · 13 Oct 2015 at 21:06

im still waiting for my email for the verification

been almost an hour now

Check your spam folder because it's lots of Russian characters and gmail flagged mine as spam instantly.

TonyTurbo78 · 13 Oct 2015 at 21:20

nope nothing in there.

Edit:finally got it

Twirlywoos · 13 Oct 2015 at 21:26

It showed a cat in the trailer - I'm sold.

TonyTurbo78 · 13 Oct 2015 at 21:33

mate, I sunk 50 hours into this when it was all in Korean, I think this will be a proper MMORPG that's going to be right up there with the best. Think I spent 3 days on the character creator alone lol

One thing I am concerned about is Bitcoin viruses from Russian downloads. They are a dodgy bunch.

Well I've played a few classes to around 10 and most of that time was spent wrestling with the camera controls and just smashing buttons.

I think the problem I found was the ping as you would be clobbering a small mob for ages, taking a lot of dmg in the process, only for it to suddenly be dead whilst I was still hitting random attacks. I reckon once you've got the combo's of the specific class sorted it would be quite good fun.

I'll defo give Black Desert some game time, but Blade & Soul will still be my MMo of choice on release.

What server are you guys playing on? Mine is all downloaded and setup now, just need to pick a server.
