I've spent almost 200 billion silver so far with this night vendor event, not sure if I'll be able to deplete my entire savings before the event ends next week but I'll for sure get close.

>>2314039
I always thought the pat event was a scam.

>>2314044
Crons are 80% of the vendor price, so great but not quite costume value. I think the other bits are worth given the market value and scarcity right now, the only uncertain part is the Patrigio's boxes but I reckon it'll end up worth it.

>>2314044
If you do gathering its a scam for sure, the cron/bmc may be good but not worth the energy cost
Everything else is not profitable unless you get very lucky with the boxes

>>2314074
Is gathering any decent these days? Not that im expecting grinding trash levels of silver.

>>2314224
pretty good but bottlenecked by energy
and just today they took the energy regen shit off the market cause they want to increase their prices

if you dont have the need to grind for multiple hours in a row then it can be fairly competitive with how much you can make per hour of active gathering (you can barely get an hour of gathering in though, in most cases) (and that's with very high energy pool)

>>2314249
Huh, guess ill dust off the gathering gear again just to mix things up, though I should really focus on getting more energy one of these days first. At 410 currently.

>>2314669
same here.... I got the game for a dollar and it's been super fun so far, but I started outleveling the content of the storyline about 20 min into the game.
I'm almost 60 now and the only time I've used more than 1 skill to kill fight was against that griphon rift boss....
Most of my skills I have no clue what they even do.

Nevertheless the game is really fun.

um...why aren't people flocking to BDO? I was told crimson desert would lead to an influx of players in BDO, but they're already moving on
what went wrong?

>>2315147
I don't know who told you that but they were right and you don't even play the game.

my main gripe so far is the absolute lack of group content so far....
I chose shai because I really love playing support in mmos and now I've got all these buffs and heals but no one to heal......
Does that change later in endgame? Do you just get thrown into endgame without ever getting a chance to learn the support game?

Also please give green skin so I can turn my shai into a goblin....

>>2315219
you can do group content as a shai pretty early since people will want you for your buffs even if you have bad gear, just as long as you can survive the spot and properly buff your party and debuff the mobs. but no this game doesn't have a way to organically ease people into group content or learning how to play their class

>>2315235
where do you queue up for that? just write in world-chat "lfg"?

Another thing that got me wondering...I read that you need to be careful with the shai bubble because "it can wipe your party"...why is that? some aggro reset or something?

bro dont lie to him
there is no group content until dehkia 2 oluns

by the way, group content in bdo just means 3 people (no more, no less) attacking the same mobs, they're not harder other than having triple the hp and giving everyone some loot
its literally just a sidegrade for people that want to pretend to do group content when they're just 3 people solo grinding at the same spot

I made a really cute witch with a log growing from her arm. Are there any must-buy QoLs in the item shop?

>>2315404
Cute.
But not really. Maybe the tent? Only if you're seriously committed, and it's on a heavy discount. You can also craft a lesser one in game.
Events pretty much give out everything you might need, but it's sprinkled in so you just gotta stockpile over time as you play. Pets, Theiah's orbs, maids, outfit boxes etc.
Definitely get maids if an event offers them after you secure an outfit.
I wouldn't spend an additional cent on this game.

did all of us newcuties make witches or something

>>2315404
Depends on what it is you're doing, but acquiring at least five pets is important for PvE later because they provide an autoloot function. There's a handful of free one-offs you can get by following the main questlines up to Mediah on top of whatever newbies get for attendance and also season seals. The buyable packs include Tier 3 ones, of wihch upgrading pets isn't exactly a fun affair if you don't want to risk going nowhere with them, but you'll probably get a fair few free ones from events overtime to alleviate it anyway.

Maids are good but you can also just overload vendor trash onto a horse if you're about to be over-encumbered if grindan. There's a tent item whose 'free' equivalence is mostly a daily silver upkeep and is probably the most notable usable paid item; PA does sell a fair few others now that have practical functions, but they're mostly superfluous, niche, or you can work around not having them. You also get a welfare mythical horse that will eliminate any and all actual need to worry about getting one with all the skills, so no need to fuss around with too many of the Training ones.

Also if you have any Decade-infused Pearl you want to buy at least the following:

You get a free "lifeskill costume" from it, I suggest getting the Venecil(processing) set with it.

i agree with that other anon though, you should start again. the progression is much easier up to a point, but too bad about the pets and outfits especially if they were functional outfits like maid dress to process things from storage

I'm wondering what to do with all the free Blackstar stuff they gave us in Olvia Academy.
I'm way past that on my main Musa but I have a semi-alt Maehwa that I've given most of the freebies and leftover gear to: PEN boss helmet, gloves and boots, TRI Fallen God, TET Blackstar Weapons and PEN Capotia accessories. I could use the PEN enhancement materials and the free PEN to make the primary weapon into a Sovereign, or I could just enhance to PEN and give the other free PEN/TET Blackstars to my next most favoured class, Drak.
Obviously the real solution is to not bother with any of this and just change my tag when I wan to play one of these classes, but I can't make any money off the free gear so I may as well try to use them.

Very imo, have you already got the ones from your Olvia Academy Coins?
If you only need 100 then grinding them out won't take too long, either the pity pieces themselves or going for Atanis' Element at somewhere like Fadus, Pollys, or Miru.

crimson is giving me the itch to return to this game after like 5 years away, i was always a casual that dabbled in some open world pvp and mostly just grinded. can i get a qrd on the current state of the game?

>>2322326
on NA atanis is the 2nd best value after the 350 stack so not very retarded
And you'll still be able to get the 350 stack

>>2322502
they raped and murdered pvp in basically every way possible so yeah basically just grinding and afk fishing is what people do

>>2322502
grinding is fun, grinding for money feels like cancer. i just hunt for treasures pieces these days
gear progression got streamlined and it's good up to a point, then it gets harder and harder and it's cancer
open world pvp doesn't really exist anymore. reds are still very much a thing if that's what you wanna do.
NWs are alive
there's been a lot of QoL, like A LOT

If you want to burn a couple hours every day with 1h grind 1h node war pvp, i recommend playing.

what about arsha?

>>2324744
there's no reason to fight over a spot anymore except to grief someone with an insurmountable gear advantage and 6 dp gems. ppl grind on arsha for the drop rate until a loser asshole comes along to try to ruin their day with some gay shit. NW is alive even in NA but the class balance makes the pvp gay and boring.

if you remember how retardedly overloaded awk mystic was back in the day when any random retard could just reroll to her and mash buttons while hitting you with protected cc dps mobility skills and other obnoxious things like vacuums, cc mobility skills that go behind forward guard, heals and a self PA, all while breathing out of their mouth and drooling on their keyboard, then that's basically how they design modern classes nowadays. seraph is a very good example of this

I want to play Seraph but it's too big brain for me to play...

>>2325013
what do you play right now

>>2325023
Kuno

>>2325024
Sarcasm?
Kuno is about 50x harder to play than Serabraindead

>>2325030
I've played kuno for so long I have the muscle memory burnt in to my mind and can mindlessly grind. Can't get it down with seraph tho

>>2325036
Did you even try, if you played it for 3 days you wouldn't say that I believe
All these new classes are so braindead ez low skillfloor + ceiling

>>2325039
Been trying for quite many hours, just can't get the flow down. Kuno feels like it flows perfectly with every skill I do, while with seraph it doesn't feel as good.
And Seraph has so many skills and you don't know which one you should prioritize and use most.

What does BDO do so much better than other KMMOs that is allowing it to survive and even thrive in the MMO space? I mean all the other KMMOs have died out completely. Lost Ark is most likely going EoS shortly, as they're laying off a lot of their Western staff. TnL same thing. But BDO maintains a fairly large audience by comparison.

>>2325122
The controlled market is surely one of them completely eradicated bot problems and subhuman organizations trying to earn money from western players
Also BDO players disagree but its the best maintained MMO on the market in terms of updates and dev-care

Personal opinion, the lifeskilling and various casual pvp options add a massive amount of s0vl to the game

>>2325122
Maplestory is also doing okay. It's growing slowly and classic seemingly getting a lot of attention.

>>2325122
I gave a fair chance (100ish hours) but ultimately dropped LA because of the gated content, the alts you had to play to pass on the materials and the bullshit currency exchange. It's hard to compare to BDO because they're so different, yes there's some gated content here too but beside that there isn't much. Class balance was also terrible, i like tanking so i made a shield&lance guy, got to entry level dungeons for the enhancement materials and i did 30k damage with small AoE. Made a wizard lady, got the to same point, and had a great time with 200k-1M huge AoE screen blasting. Yeah i know both classes can achieve good damage, but the starting experience was wildly different, and it felt like i wasted my time.
I didn't particularely care for the bots, they infested the game, and more than anything the refusal to address the problem had a bigger impact on LA's decline than the bots had. Just unwilling devs if not accomplices to the RMTing going on, or worse, incompetent devs were really bad marketing. This went on for years AFAIK.

TnL i knew i was going to drop from the start, as i'm sure did many others. It was built about the same as LA, same gated bullshit, same shallow RNG enhancing, but it had the mass pvp aspect. That's a negative in my opinion as it just rewarded whales even more, i've heard a whale could fend off 5-10 people with the gear difference.
I enjoyed the leveling campaign but after getting to endgame my choices were a bunch of quests of "kill 8 undead" to collect RNG shinies and i just stopped caring, i wasn't going to invest my time day after day on such low effort shit. Also i hated the "turn into a mount" system, i'd rather have something my character can ride than turn into a duck or some other animal, and it wasn't that much faster than running to be honest, we have it good with BDO gigafast mounts.

Basically, in my opinion, BDO still has several strong sandbox elements going on that set it apart from the average themepark slop.

>>2325122
Despite all of our bitching about the p2w gear treadmill and whatnot, it's still by far the least brutally p2w korean MMO that's ever existed. It's also a really solid overall game as an MMO, it doesn't have ridiculous insane powercreep in the way something like DN did. Like yeah we're basically playing BDO 3 at this point with how different classes are now compared to in 2016 or even in 2019, but if it were any other korean MMO every class would be a god with obnoxiously large screen wide AoEs with a million hits per skill by this point. It's definitely showing its age as a korean mmo with the large amount of bloat you'd typically expect, but they've at least tried to rear back on it over time so it's not as bloated as it could be.

Also the customer support is very good, getting a ticket answered within a week is unheard of with korean mmos. Nexon used to take literal months to respond when I played maple, dunno if it's like that now. Every ticket I've ever sent to PA was answered within a day or two, maybe a week at most. The CMs are active and actually have a presence in the game, a lot of people are familiar with them and recognize their names. Most of the CMs are veteran players who had a positive reputation in their region before they became a CM, they're relatable because they're all players and they aren't actually shitters either. At this point I think the most common complaint I've seen amongst long term players now is that PA doesn't do enough exciting, sweeping changes to the game that shake things up, and that it experiences long periods of stagnation, only really adding new gear and new samey grind spots here or there, or some new crystal, or a new lightstone upgrade, which I can kind of agree with.

You can turn off many UI elements but i think you need level 20 or something? In any case it's up to you to customize it, if you keep seeing things pop up on screen like horses being registred on the market you can turn those alerts off.
The story is mid, i wouldn't bother with it just for CD.
You will oneshot mobs until you're done with season, ideally around level 61+ (5-12 hours for a new player, 20+ if you take your time or even longer if you listen to the quests). After season you can go to spots that require you to do a skill combo rotation. Everything i said should have an asterisk though, there's exceptions and caveats. Game is notoriously super confusing for new players and a veteran explaining you shit is recommended.

>>2326140
>they're relatable because they're all players and they aren't actually shitters either
i got into aos with 3 of them and they're absolute pvp shitters lmao

>>2326129
it's fun but a bit difficult to get into being a 10 year old MMORPG that was janky from the start and has an accumulated burden of knowledge to match
still there's a lot to dig into and it offers a lot of stuff CD doesn't have. And the new player experience has been fasttracked to an absurd level as you can see.

>>2326161
Etsu, Corruption and Lemoria were pretty well rounded but of course they're washed since they're not actual players anymore, it's been years. Idunno about the EU CMs but I assume Ronin is or was a pvper. I think there's a fine line between someone who is a shitter and always was and someone who's washed up because they got a job at the company. The ones who aren't good at pvp are still fairly knowledgeable about the game since they were dedicated players before they were CMs. What I meant is that this makes them more relatable than some faceless literal who that doesn't interact with the community and has no experience with the game outside of it being a job for them a shitter, which historically has been most GMs throughout all korean mmos.

First time doing Rusalka, she keeps OHKO-ing me and I'm not sure why. I past the stage where she summons the orb-like things at the edge and I have to kill them in the order where they don't have a DP buff, but after that she does another blue AoE thing across almost the entire field so I have to move to the edge, but despite definitely being out of range it seems like I die but with no attack effect to suggest what might have happened?

As much as i consider myself to be a gooner and therefore prone to agree with other goones as we stick together (heh), i have to disagree. Sex doesn't sell, eroticism does. You don't find a sex shop next to a burger king, you find it in a dark alleyway. You don't see a pawg riding a huge dildo on a billboard, you see lingerie ads.
Everything sex related is done in privacy and as anonimously as possible, you might be confused because this website makes very little difference between a hot pic and something more hardcore. A sfw board is next to a nsfw, it's primarely a porn attraction and a gathering place for deviants with some jewish psyop thrown on top.
I especially have to disagree with >>2329521
>sex sells will be a constant as long as humanity exists.
For the past 10000 years, as long as there have been cities, it was quite the opposite. It was always something to be controlled and beside some short periods like when greeks fucked goats and little boys, covering up women was actually the norm. "Sex sells" wasn't even a thing 30ish years ago, not that you're old enough to remember.
So when you say sex sells... it does, to you. It's universally frowned upon that's why the NSFW acronym exists. That's why it's niche like that other anons says.
