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


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.
 
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)

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!

I prefer blade and soul personally.

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

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.

Character creator is really good. I'm sure will be able to do some stunning work with this one. Best creator I've seen in any game by far.

Nice work, it really is a very impressive creator. The only other game that comes close, or did, was APB whose char creator was years ahead of it's time.
 
Just use https://www.wtfast.com/

Add custom start game and configure > use the launcher option direct it to > Program Files(x86) > qGNA.exe

Manually configure the Network Route to Russia RU1 or RU2

Hit play and your back in the game.

You've missed the one and only thing that provides any MMO with staying power for me, really good , vibrant, lively and dangerous world PvP. Whats the world PvP like?

BDO is a decent MMo, but if it's PvP you want Blade & Soul is better.

So far for me, BDO seems to be a button masher with very impressive visuals but atm it's not hooking me in but I need to play it more. Don't get me wrong it's got depth but I'm a PvP'er more so than raider.

The reason I harp on more about Blade & Soul is they are publishing the full version with nothing removed. It has a much better combat system were you can tailor your class to your preferred playstyle, you can have one path for PvP and one for PvE. In B&S you can simply equip a faction costume and you can go PvP basically anywhere.
 
I meant no slight on BDO with the 'button masher' comment, I probably should have explained it a bit more. I'm playing through all the classes and hold my hands up and admit I don't know the proper mechanics behind the combat yet but slapping skills in no order is still doing it for me! From what I've played so far Black Desert is a 100% purchase and I hope we get the full roster of classes on release.

Blade & Soul is actually quite an old MMo now, it's questing is very generic (VERY!!) but the combat and skill system is extremely in depth, it's what makes the game stand above all the other MMo's I'm playing. If you have time check out Pohx initial impressions vid on YT (can't link due to swearing) he explains the basic's quite well.

In all, I just want a new PvP mmo that can compete with the like of Aion or Lineage :D

@Tombstone, neither of these are going to invoke Ultima of old, those days are gone I think....
