People don't take context and time into account :(

BDO release was competing with late AA in KR, and they wanted to do it better. What they found is that since much of the playerbase overlapped, and the playerbase wante..

you know what gently caress it we'll skip the holy poo poo patches

+20 is not suicide on KR. It's a quick grind to max, and a hard think about how you want to acquire money to be able to afford +20 gear. +20 is the starting point for endgame, as it gets better than that. You need to think about farming the world boss(es) regularly, camping the market for drops/gains, and making horses sex, so you can sell the sex products for money.

PVP? Na, that doesn't really net you much money but is fun I guess

Have things changed since korean release becase im pretty sure that anything after 15 was in the single digit percent chances and would cause your weapon to lose durability which made you have to buy more of the same weapon to recover it.

It was a loving hell grind. Steparu mentioned as much and the dude loves grinding

If it cuts down the industrial level of gold spam bots in most MMOs then I'm all for it.

Spam bots are still going to be there because gold spamers just want your credit card details, not actually selling you anything. Real gold farming operations dont advertise. I remember playing a game that had zero ways of trading items or money between players and there were tons of spammers anyways.

The issue for me is I don't fully understand the benifits of any of the items included in those packs. Like is the horse invulnerable or can you immediately drive your tier 5 horse to a watery grave...

Horse death, at least in the korean version, wasn't permanent. You could go to a stable and revive it.

No shame in saying you preordered RIFT. At launch it was a pretty drat good game all things considered. Then they sort of stoped giving a gently caress and the game stagnated after the first year.

The outrage on the forums is going to be great. I can't believe they're treating a b2p game like this.

I don't really see the benefit we have over the f2p versions in other countries. Seems like it's just a barrier for entry for the sake of loving over botters. Is there any tangible benefit?

Its not even that, the chinamen are going to buy accounts with stolen credit cards so they can bot and spam. Even if there isn't any trading worth a drat, they'll find a way to make money. Somehow.

Also lets stop calling level 50 a soft cap. This isn't the case anymore like it was during the korean launch and we didn't know about awakened weapons and skills post 50. You'll be unlocking your awakened weapon at 56, and you are still unlocking abilities after that.

Not only that, but also the overall uselessness of introducing expansion content early on. It is somewhat heavily gated, so besides classes and a few other things, there's not much you will really be able to make out of the Media and Valencia content any time soon.
Guild gathering can not be delegated to your slaves, as far as I know.

Just look at the content reviews from Steparu during the Media and Valencia 1.0 releases. There just isn't much there. Following the korean content schedule would be pretty much suicide by lethargy and they basically need to rush down to valencia 2.0 as quick as possible in the states if they want to retain people in the long run.

I bought the travellers pack but it says "head start access only possible with pre-order package". Is there delay in the launch or do my pack not considered "pre-order" because I bought it so late? I bought it two days ago.

Even though the game isn't technically out, buying the game now doesn't amount to having a pre-order. I honestly dont understand why they didn't allow people to buy the game and immediately get into the early access other than Korea or some database issues. Both are equally probable.

Can you make a comparison to Blade & Soul with how the combat works? I wasn't a big fan of that, but the theme/world looks better in BDO.

The combat in BDO is a little more hectic and beat em up than B&S. The directions you press as you use one of your keybinds will influence how an attack behaves. The vast majority of your attacks dont even use the typical 1-0 binds, instead a combination of directions, charges, things like mouse clicks e and shift.

Both combats feel good. BDOs feel like its more free thanks to the input system, I still think B&S combat and classes have more depth though.

How to play a valkyrie-

Valkyries are pretty simple to play and skill, they have like 4 primary abilities that you will want to focus on, but the level reqs for leveled up ones mean that you'll have plenty of points left to put into secondary abilities while leveling.

Primary Abilities

Sword of Judgement (backwards + RMB)- Your main source of damage both for melee aoe and single target. Its a bunch of damage in a frontal cone, drains your holy power at a high pace.

Throw Shield
(backwards + Q)- Lob your shield in a straight line doing tons of damage to mobs and stunning them +flipping them around. Does not stun if on cooldown. Useful for aoe grinding at mid range, by the time the mobs get close to you they'll be pretty much dead.

Just Guard- (while blocking forward + LMB) Somewhat different from the other classes, valks primary method of regenerating resources is by blocking attacks and using just guard to poke at enemies while blocking. Does ok damage, but it lets you keep guard up which helps when pulling massive packs.

Celestial Spear- (backwards + e) Huge burst in a very small area and slow enemies struck by it. You can use this ability to cancel out of other animations. This things would make it good enough to max out, but the real boon this thing has is the boosted crit rate you get after using it. At max level its a whopping 80% extra crit rate for 5 seconds.

Secondary abilities

Punishment (E)- You grab a dude and smack him in the ground knocking him and his buddies on their asses. Good damage and CC, perfect to use after softening mobs with shield throws.

Heavens Echo (Shift + Q) - Your taunt that also boosts your damage and the accuracy of everyone in your party. Its duration lasts longer than its cooldown, always have it on.

Breath of Elion (shift + E)- AoE heal + resource recovery + extra run speed for 10 seconds. Very useful.

Vow of Trust (Shift + Space)- Sacrifice stamina for your attack resource. Dont need to level it up really, but its really useful to have your resource top off before a pull.

Sideways Slash (left or right + left click) - Quick slashes while dodging in the direction you are pressing. Higher levels use less stamina. Useful for repositioning while taking on packs

Does this game have a really cool economy? When it was explained to me it seemed like Eve Lite, but I really doubt that's what it is.

Well the game was supposed to be something akin to EVE but after the developers created a bunch of intricate PvP and economical features something happen (Daum), and they completely neutered both for the sake of not hurting people. The economy now is hard coded, player have even less of an impact on it than in a game like Elite Dangerous.

e-Actually thats a lie, both elite and this have a similar npc trade system.

Valk Awakening Lance video. Probably the awakening that changes the class the least so far? It seems to be focused around charges, just counters, shield pushes and an ability that groups mobs in an area for a big gently caress off jump attack. It also has a small teaser for Bladers Halberd and Plums Spear.

Stormgale posted:

Seems kinda like the greatsword, turning the classes strengths into wide AOE, could be good for group combat

GS seems to have a lot less mobility than lance but usually in group combat wider arcs are more useful than thrusts. And unless the lance has built in guard on most of its attacks, the GS would have the benefit of life leaching too. If lance has a lot of extra CC then I could see it being pretty useful, the sort of forward reach from its rushes could absolutely poo poo over rangers if they can lock them down.

How much effort/time do these awakened weapons take to get? Gw2 legendary weapon effort? Or ffxi relic effort?

You need to get to base 56 to be able to take the black spirit quest for them, then you need to hunt down some world bosses. The world bosses are usually trolled by over leveled and over geared characters looking for easy kills.

How "easy" it is depends on your ability to level and not get hosed over in the world bosses. Its also a brand new weapon that you need to get to +17 at least to not be completely useless in pvp.
