There are rumblings on Twitter that CBT2 keys went out to fansites today, so get ready to hunt for them in the next few days. Some of them gave out CBT1 keys to the first people to click so finding them somewhat promptly is important. I haven't spotted any like that yet though, just the bullshit contests.

Post links if you find any.

Well, I found one but it already ran out, and it was only posted like four hours ago. Ugh.

Could try this raffle but you have to add crap for entries.

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.

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.

This looks like a phishing scam. Specifically, that site's link to the Black Desert site takes you to an mmozone.com page that is made to look like the Black Desert website. Caution.

I didn't log in through the gameitems.com site, I only gave them a (disposable) email and had to click a verification email to get the key. So just don't log in from their page I guess.

How can you drink that poo poo. loving Dunkin Doughnuts went and started making them and they taste like garbage baby assholes. loving savages can't be happy with making a simple cup of coffee.

I hope you die in a forest fire for liking that poo poo and perpetuating their creation. loving cafe hipsters and their bullshit.

tbf they're gonna charge you like $3 for a cup of regular swill anyway no matter what so you might as well pay the extra buck or two to drown out some of the garbage juice with artificially flavored sugar crap

Looks like all these free giveaways are gone the instant they are posted. I'm not sure if I want to shell out for the $50 pack to get into the beta

You don't. It's gonna be the same game when it comes out for $20 less and dead just as fast. If you gotta have something to do next weekend The Division beta is free and you don't need a key.

It's in media res vs a boring infodump. That cinematic actually tells you pretty much everything you need to know about what they did to FFXIV when they rebooted it.

Though you need to play what was (pre-expansion) endgame content or read spoilers online to make any real sense of it. Hooray

I mean, in theory, I will love it, except I won't be using the cash shop when it's not free money anymore. The cat food costs cash too right? Hope kitty likes starving to death.

Is housing unlimited, or can only so many people rent houses from a given town? I thought I remember reading something about having to bid over being able to buy a house but I don't remember.

There might be some exception but the vast majority of the property is instanced and everyone can own a copy of a building in the same spots.

I got answers to most of that, and velia is the tutorial town with all the answers in quest form, but it is a lot of poo poo I don't wanna type. If you end up in the CTS mumble I'll explain it.

The conversation thing is never quite clear even after they explain it. I understand trying to run around collecting conversation topics to be able to score points but actually figuring out what to choose in the conversation is some sort of mathematical guess and check nightmare

Sure, there is a tool tip that reads "CTRL: Share a location with a guild member" and then a bunch of locations spammed when people noticed you could spam your guild members with different locations. Each location is a giant beam of light on the map and in the world.

That... That's beautiful. Please take a picture of the world with the sky blasted to poo poo with lasers
