Black Desert Online

Is he joining us tomorrow or on 2nd?

What is the OCUK Discord address? I will be loading the game up at 9 but by the time i've logged in, started character and setup all my settings, UI etc... it will be about 9am before i start.

where abouts you grinding hordes Dave? I wont be on till 1st as I've only got explorers, will be joining you for sure though if that's cool.
 
We will be on tomorrow (partner and I), we will be on Alaustin as well. Have you lot setup Discord yet?



I was running at 1080p on my 980ti. In towns, it was dropping down to 30fps!!! I really, REALLY hope they have optimised it a bit.

Outside of town, a solid 60fps.

REALLY HOLY CRAP!!

In the beta's I was getting 60fps everywhere fully maxed out out 1440p. Crossfire was working perfect back then so I sure hope it is in full game.
 
Yep the ranger is very much a single target 1v1 death dealing wrecking train in PvP. I made my ranger got to level 10 realised I was on the wrong server :eek:

So, had a dabble with a Sorcerer and will remake the Ranger today !

lol yes it is. Nothing really touches a Ranger at the moment in PvP, Wizard is excellent for mobs though, silly high AoE spells.
 
Isn't it dead boring for normal PvE play? I need something fun basically. Looked like Sorceress would be that, but unsure if it will keep me hooked.

once you start unlocking abilites it's far from boring. But at the end of the day, what class isn't boring when your doing the same moves for months on end ;)

I played sorcerer quite a bit in the Korean Beta, enjoyed it but had way more fun with Ranger and Wizardin Russian Beta. Wizard is mental for graphic effects, seeing a huge AoE spell at work is anything but boring haha.
 
Pah Rangers... I'll just block all that damage then stun you guys to death!! :D

I will setup the OCUK Guild on Wednesday, day of release. It costs 100k in silver to do so. What i do like about the guilds is that you can give your guild members quests to complete to not only give you money but the guild money and experience. You are generally contracted to the guild.

So anyone who is interested in joining, provide your family name when you have it and we can create a list.

I think a high level ranger gets through the block, so your still dead dude lol

what?? When I bought it on the evening of 26th, the purchase options that were available said pre-order now for access on these dates.

As Black Desert Online’s second Closed Beta draws to a close, we would like to thank everyone who participated in our Alpha and Beta stages and helped improve the game in the process. As we are gearing up for launch we have some important dates to share.

The very top pack was not available as I missed the window to get that one, so the next best option was the Explorers which clearly said pre order now to get access on the 01/03/16 at 08:00. I pre-ordered, I hit the pre-order button. Nowhere on that page did it say anything about orders being places on the 26th Westie.

The pre-order page was still up mate, thats why I quickly saw the pre-order info above, I read that to mean get your pre-order in before 28/02/16 to claim your access after 28/02/16 08:00 UTC. This is just poor communication. If I couldn't order the pre-order at that time, why wasn't that option blanked out or say something about the time to place the order to gain access on the 01/03 or something to that effect. It clearly said on that page like I've shown above, pre-order now before 28th to get early access.

This is pretty much shnidey advertising. Way to go, seems they are following the mmorpg ethical code right to the letter lol.

Edit..just checked out the forum, looks like I'm not the only one. Seen an older news page as well about placing your pre-order of the Explorers before 08:00 on 26/02/16 now, but man why that wasn't written clearly on the pre-order page. That's just bad communication, very ambiguous indeed as it clearly said I can pre-order the explorers before the 28th to gain early access. Kinda my mistake for not reading elsewhere I guess, but man still leaves a bitter tastes, just another controversial mmorpg launch. Oh well, will get a refund and buy the cheaper package, see you on the 3rd Westie.

its one big advertising mess. Yes there were notes on the news page about the 26th and the end of pre-orders, yet you were still able to pre-order on the store page right up to today I believe for the early access. Just totally worded wrong, does it come down as false advertisement to not show on a store page the terms you are buying?

Oh well, not the end of the world, put in for the refund, will play on the 3rd.
 
yeah its totally shnidey SS, all that info was missing from the purchase page previously. Because of the **** storm that will now proceed because of it, they have hastily changed it and been deleting posts concerning it on Social Media. Not even a apology we messed up or any type of acknowledgement.
