I'm a filthy anti-poopsocking casual so I'll probably make 50 after a month regardless of the grind speed.

Polegrinder posted: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 Maybe use your free key to come to your own conclusion? It won't be usable for long anyway. If you hate grinding stay away.

Demarolath posted:I learned nothing from my $150 on ArcheAge and bought the $99 founders for this. If there was any lesson learned from Archeage it was never trust a guild leader with anything more difficult than cat herding. (that and gently caress Trion) Also nobody should try and give goons orders like "don't attack these dudes because fishing pact". That's like waving a red flag soaked in meat juices to a half bull half piranha. Just let one's fellow goons roam free, like wildebeests.

gwrtheyrn posted:The funniest thing about the "fishing pact" was it was written so badly that kimsemus didn't actually break any of the rules Gold farming was so Serious Business that angry goons chased him into/out of other games. I have no idea if there were other reasons - I don't really know him personally - but it was funny to watch goons act like exactly like the pubbies we make fun of.

kalstrams posted:Goon AA drama sounds amazing. It was  I missed a lot of it though. Since I'd already played with "the gang" during the Archeage alpha and spent extensive time listening to personality A causing friction with personality B etc, etc, I saw the goon infighting writing on the wall long before release and come launch rolled on a different server with a small group of other goons I knew separately. It was the right choice, pity about that game turning into what it was though. Hindsight is easy now of course. I'm sure that won't possibly happen with Black Desert again!

I like all the pubbies going nuts over not getting a CBT key for a B2P game that gives you CBT keys if you buy it. I'm not sure if they've thought yet about how they plan on playing the game later.

AA is fundamentally broken on a client trust level and Trion turns everything they touch into rancid poo poo like the retarded brother of King Midas. Tying a red ribbon on a turd to pretty it up doesn't stop it being a turd.

You can always destroy a guild with neglect. Invite tons of goons, then invite some pubbies, don't promote anyone to officer rank or give anyone else invite privileges. Then just don't log on for a few weeks and let nature take its course.

Drinkfist posted:Motherfuckers never learn. Make a world for someone to live in and they will keep players around. Make a single player game and people are just gonna beat it and leave. What's worse - that it keeps happening or that we're aware of it and keep playing the drat things regardless like the gormless chumps we are? Trick question because the answer to nearly any MMO related question is a fresh pile of cow manure sticking to the bottom of your boot. We then walk across the non dry cleanable white carpet that was once our sense of self respect.

If any goon who kept up with any MMO drama at any point across the past 5 years falls for the same old poo poo that happens every single time we play an MMO together then we just need to point and laugh. It's for their own good really.

Buffs and nerfs are forever an ongoing thing. Pick the thing you believe to be "cool". I mean it won't be because goons make terrible life decisions but at least then you won't be slamming your genitals in a car door when [thing] gets nerfed in 6 months and [other class] is rolling your rear end and you're left with nothing but a character you never really liked to start with.

This is like a 4 day beta that is getting wiped after and you're focusing on guild recruitment and poopsock levelling  You are definitely in for the long haul come launch.

Glad I made my character before I went to sleep. "Full" server but everything seemed really nice, except the mob areas near the start were too crowded but what can you do about that during a new character rush anyway? Valk combat feels very kinetic so that's nice, the AOE and sustain is pretty good so I think I'll stick to it come launch. I've already resigned myself to being terrible at PVP so I'll take the heal & shield thanks. The graphics are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but looking at the game world it reminds me of when I first played Far Cry 1 those many years ago.

PurplieNurplie posted:So if you connected the first time on EU servers, is there no way to force the launcher to hit the NA ones? I've changed it back and forth on the launcher and launched it a bunch of times to no avail. I have a feeling you choose server selection during the install process. Maybe there is a way to change it afterwards but

Jackard posted:What am I looking at? How do I join the correct server? I wasn't paying attention before. I have the same server selection and my launcher is definitely set to NA - it tells me that at the login screen and everything. If this is the EU sever selection then I don't know. Are you Oceanic like me? Maybe we get tossed in with the Euros by default. Or perhaps it's just bugged? Well for what it's worth the game didn't feel excessively laggy like most of the times I play multiplayer games with Euros from Australia. It actually felt really good playing it... so gently caress it. If I'm stuck playing with Euros then I guess I'm actually going to be ok with that.

NeurosisHead posted:This game looks cool; how grindy is it to feel like you're making progress? Korean games are notorious for being focused on grinding, and every streamer I catch seems to be really into grinding too. I'm a filthy casual who likes to do a few quests and feel like he's making progress though. It's Korean so very once you get into endgame. Though how much that actually matters to you is a good question since endgame is pvp focused not raid focused - I don't know how much tossing bodies into the fire works vs a smaller number of better geared folks. We probably won't until some time after launch really. Anyway it plays well enough which is a tick the box for me. So long as Daum hasn't taken too many pages from the Trion playbook I can probably find some value in playing this for a while.

LegalPad posted:So after testing it out, I can confirm that there's virtually no player-to-player trading as reported. I think all you can hand over is a select few consumables like potions and beer. If it cuts down the industrial level of gold spam bots in most MMOs then I'm all for it.

Lt. Lizard posted:Middleish Europe. I am getting 200-300 ping on average with a 300+ spikes if there are a lot of players nearby. It would be annoying but playable in no-action MMO, but here it is extremely noticeable, especially when using any mobility skill, which usually ends up with lag and me either rubber-banding or being randomly teleported around. On EU server I have sub 100 ping, and the difference in how the game feels and plays is incredible (duh). That's like a normal day for any Oceanic player used to playing an a NA server. I get 400 or 450+ on an EU server in most games. You get used to it but if you have the option for a better ping then sure, go for it.

Third World Reggin posted:Rift and GW2 are good games for these guys to look at to fix their model. Rift now has gear slots (earring slots) locked behind the paywall and you can no longer grind them out with in game currency. You used to be able to but Trion decided they wanted more money from their remaining players so they changed it. Daum copying Rift's cash shop model now would be a pretty bad thing.

The greatest benefit of you owning a ship is saving me the bother of having to get one myself. Besides it's not like naval combat is exactly going to be a solo activity. You'll want bodies to toss at enemy ships for boarding and so on.
