Black Desert Online

Looking forward to trying the beta again, roll on the 18th !! Will try the Sorcerer this time.

Regarding PvP, BDO is extremely gear dependant like Lineage II/Aion so much that a highly geared PvP'er will wipe the floor with a casual player.
 
if there's one thing i can say about BDO it's this... don't believe everything you hear about the negative side of the game. korea and russia are VERY different in terms of cash shop and pay2win elements. So far EU/NA is buy2play like guild wars 2 and only cosmetic/convenience items in the cash shop.

the game is very dense, so many systems in place, the worker/node system seems very interesting, you can hire workers to mine ore/cut trees etc and you connect the nodes from town to town, the workers can then travel further etc. they can level up, there's different types of workers, they require beer(lol) to function.

when you fish you can use the map to check the water resources in each area, if too many people are fishing in a certain area the fish "count" goes down and you will have a harder time catching a fish etc. you can build a fishing boat to go further out from the beaches.

ive only played korea a little bit so probably dont do it justice but im super pumped for this game. on top of the ingame systems it LOOKS AMAZING! and plays AMAZING! the combat system is so nice. Even though ill probably play a witch when i tried giant/berserker i lol'd all the way, between the WWE style piledriver, the headbutt and the slams it just feels super fun to kill things. none of this 1111111111211111131111 gameplay.
 
Played BNS till 45HM1, combat is great and quite a good story line even though somewhat cheesy. prices are expensive to upgrade after 45 kind of put me off from playing. It's a breeding ground for gold sellers.

That said I will take my time with BDO the end game content is apparently not on par with BNS however it may come in time, think i'll get more out of it with a steady pace levelling approach and perhaps a few toons.

Looks glorious too .. should start to get some pay-off back from my rig ;)
