So I snagged a beta key from that website giveaway linked earlier. First, I'm concerned my computer will be able to run this game smoothly with my poo poo GPU. Second, is this another BnS like game, with lots of flash and no content? I love the combat in BnS and this game looks to improve upon that greatly, but if there is nothing to do at max level except PvP then I want to stay far away. I'm considering giving away the key if this is going to be a poo poo tier game. Thanks

Word is it will be a stupid grind to the soft cap and even stupider after that, but there are plenty of side distractions like collecting nodes and buildings, working on conversation relationships and other crafting type poo poo.

Maybe use your free key to come to your own conclusion? It won't be usable for long anyway.

I'm looking for a game where I don't feel completely gimped by not playing non stop.

Scared to get into an MMO because I still want some form of a life! is this game pretty casual friendly or what? I can do occasional raids for gear, and enjoy dungeons etc and love PVP but all combined is the grind strong with this one?

There's an 'energy' mechanic that replenishes over time which you need for a lot of the crafting type things, so playing non-stop can actually be detrimental there. But it sort of remains to be seen how much anyone gives a drat about that crafting and whether you'll find it interesting is anyone's guess. For what it's worth I think all the various systems make an intriguing package but also a bit overwhelming. That will probably be your first reaction, an overload of poo poo going on, then you have to try and figure out what out of the mess is actually not pointless. Even the UI is kind of a mess with crap everywhere to be honest.

It is an explicitly PvP oriented game. It will run reasonably smoothly on most comptuers, if it's optimized well enough to run decently on my laptop on not even lowest settings. As to whether if this is going to be a poo poo tier game is something you will have to see for yourself.

You most definitely will feel completely gimped in PvP by not playing frequently at the very least. The game is casual-friendly to a rather mild extent. There are no raids and dungeons to speak off, few open world bosses aside, which happen to be one of the main alley to feel gimped on as turbospergs from half the server come crushing on you (assuming you actually had scouts online to catch the respawn timer first, you may as well never see the boss). Also right above:

Look, realtalk this game is going to be unfulfilling as heck. I just want to play it so I can be the scythe-wielding tittywitch I know I was born to be. It's like imagine a typical MMO but there's even less content. No raids, barely (maybe) dungeons, laughable world boss encounters, etc. Endgame is going to be all PvP. Endgame for me will be making pubbies cry with my anime lady until I get bored of that and quit forever!!

Good things about this game? Combat, graphics, character creator.

To each it's own, some people wait for meaningful continuation to CC-era Lineage 2. Will this be it, or quick fix - time will show. I just hope it doesn't chokes like both western versions of ArcheAge did pronto.

Considering they've stated that NA release will be 4-6 months behind the KR version, unless in a sudden radical shift in direction occurs I don't think you'll be surprised by any new changes. Despite the NA feedback pretty much going "all of this is poo poo and we'll hate it" and it doesn't sound like they've accepted much feedback for NA except for EXP rates. :cripes:

See, that's the thing. They've shown will to implement dumb changes based on incompetent wishes, so I don't hold my breath that from here on it shall be flawless. Besides that, you never know with modern KMMOs if 90% of population won't abandon the game after a week or two for one reason or another.

How well this EU/NA ArcheAge do after the release? It had triple the preorders compared to BDO.

I'd like to be optimistic, but I was born on the wrong coast for that.

Keep in mind that this is Buy2Play so as long as the cash shop isn't complete and utter bullshit, it'll do well. The general MMO playing public knows the Black Desert name after years of hype so if they're not playing at launch, they'll be playing soon after.

So here's the problem with that. That's a list of the things the game had in it in the closed beta for its actual release that were changed and things that were promised and not delivered on.

Daum and Pearl Abyss hosed their own game ridiculously hard and anyone who has been paying attention to this game for more than the thirty seconds they spent reading lewtt's OP knows that. loving Dark Souls of all things does it better. I'm not bitter about this game for some obscure reason, I'm bitter because the developers took something that could have been god drat amazing and made it a mediocre wet fart of a game that does worse than a single player with optional multiplayer action RPG from 2011.

I've complained about pretty much everything on that list, I'm greatly disappointed that it's not the same game that was being hyped up back in 2012 but I can't really blame Daum's Western division for any of it. Without completely overhauling core mechanics, I don't see what they could've done, especially this far behind where the Korean version is right now.

Velencia looks like it's a step in the right direction, and who knows where it'll be two years from now but I've just learned to settle for what it is rather than what it could be. I have Chronicles of Elyria for that MMO pipe dream.

like in AA we had a guy who was an officer (can't remember his name) who ran this dungeon over and over and over for armor and browbeat goons into helping him run the dungeon

but if this specific high tier armor dropped, it was his, nobody was allowed to roll on it

He had multiple sets of this high tier armor and it was supposed to go to goons

oh wait, he hosed off and left to another guild with the armor



materials for the castle? yeah, we gave all of that to one guy

guess what he did

he hosed off with half a castles worth a stone or something


we pooled gilda to get people merchant ships so they could help people do trade runs

half the people with merchant ships would get mad if you asked to help them do a trade run
