Black Desert Online

I am hoping for some dedicated PVE content. It doesn't even have to be dungeons. Open world PVE areas are fine by me, a la Ultima Online. I think fighting over spots where mobs drop certain loot or gear with other players would be amazing.

I never forget a time in UO where I went to a certain area to grind scrolls (can't remember what they were for). I spent hours there and just as I had finished a PK got me and took the lot. Frustrating but bloody exciting too. Any further trips would result in looking over your shoulder and the never relaxed feeling in case it happened again. Then seeing someone and pooping yourself but they run past you etc.

I see this game as similar in not having end game content but permanently increasing content if that makes sense. The players themselves kind of making the endgame, with guild wars, making traders etc.

I played Wizard, Sorcerer and Ranger in the Russian Beta to about lvl 25 on each. Really enjoyed the Wizrd, but the Ranger is so OP kitted out. I'm sure that class will get a huge nerf come the 3rd March.

Love the visuals though, always found the AoE spells to be particularly pleasing at dusk Sega, I'm not surprised you videoed that haha .

Are you enjoying the game and the class mate?
 
Yeah I'm enjoying it aand just trying to get my head around the many features so I'm ready to go next Sunday.

PvE is easy mode by the looks of it and the Wizard does a good job of aoeing everything in sight. I'm 80% sure I'll start with a Wizard but going to break my trend and play a female and go Valkyrie tomorrow.

I couldn't get on with archer but no doubt they're op like they are in most gsmes.

Are you part of a guild or soloing it?
 
Valkyrie looks very good for pvp, could be an interesting class. I tend to go for classes that are engaging, I'm so bored of doing the standard warrior type bashing game. Definitely going to roll with a hot female ranger or wizard next week.

Nope never guilded it, just lone wolfed. Will be looking to get in a guild tjough, there's just to much to do in this game.

Really enjoying the beta, It's a 100% purchase.

Just a quick overview of my experience so far.

Some people are going to find BDO annoying and frustrating especially those who lack patience , It's not a spoon fed game alike a number of MMO's I've played - there's a lot to learn and research. I've spent around 20 hours so far and the game is only now starting to feel rewarding now I have some basic understanding, Personally I like this coming from a EQ1 background where you actually have to work things out.

Graphically it's awesome, had a exploration over to Epheria Port and along the way have been blown away with some of the details and immersion this game has to offers.

It does lack the grouping need as I ended up playing this solo even with a group of players on teamspeak, this ofc could change given the guild siege , dungeons and pvp elements. If you prefer to group with players I think joining a well organised guild and not a clan will be the way forward.

I still need to understand how the afk tray mode works, i.e. in using it with fishing the idea sound great however not got it working yet, Also not fully worked out the node system ,Plenty of guides out there though to digest during the 1 week wait.

It does have it's niggles mainly the UI - The quest acting is poor not up to Witcher 3 or BNS standards.

Combat feels a little flat in comparison to BNS that may be just my opinion at current.

In all with a few niggles that could be easily ironed out this game is superb however it won't tick everyone's box, In comparison to WoW / BNS it feels in general aimed at a more mature audience.
 
You'll only see 1% of what this game has to offer in a day mate, you might as well watch some youtube videos and take a punt next week on for release.

Tbh think im just going to get it if i dont like it then its another game added to the list i dont play.

Trying to make my character using the creator but keep getting a 0xE019101A error. malware bytes is not showing any threats so i dont have a clue whats causing it.
