Black Desert Online was recently released on Steam.

For those of you who play it what are your thoughts on it?

If you haven't played it what are your thoughts based on videos of gameplays and such?

I like the idea of adventuring out at night and just being comfy at my own pace.

The night time looks really great in the game.

But damn the menu and map seem really confusing and taking me a while to get used to.

I wouldn't recommend it. If you enjoy it, the game will take over your life due to how it's designed. Almost every activity in the game is done in an automated fashion that is enhanced by cash shop items, and requires you to be logged in. You'll end up scheduling your life around feeding workers beer and processing items from your storage. It's not worth the trouble.
>>

you can't bring mmorpgs back from the dead, this is real life, necromancers don't actually exist

The RNG, grind and zero endgame all contribute to it being a totally shit game.

The endgame loop has to be the worst of its kind. You literally farm for money so you can destroy a bunch of shit trying to upgrade so that you can get enough gear to PVP to get more money for gear to break.

Sailing is probably fun. I never tried it though. You can get a boat easily, but to get the Epheria Sail Boat you need to chop 8000 trees down. On top of all the other shit you need for it.

There's no raiding, no dungeons. You can grind mobs korea style or you can take part in the great life skills, which will consume your life and are not worth the trouble.
>>
>>379456768
>Is it Pay2win?

Its a grey area. You can use mommy's credit card to gain advantages that other players can't get in game by conventional methods. But it's nothing thats going to enable someone to just curb stomp you. Its faster XP, more bag space, more character weight and that kinda thing. In order for a player to actually buy gear through use of the cash shop, they would need to spend literally thousands of dollars.

It's absolutely pay to have an advantage but I wouldn't call it pay to win. Unless you ABSOLUTELY need a pet to pick up trash items for you

oh no anon. you are so wrong.

you have to chop down 80000 trees. thats eighty THOUSAND.

the grind to get epheria sailboat is the number one biggest grind in the game, bar none.

if you have extremely high processing then tha tnumber might get down to about 50,000 trees, but still. you need so many fuckin logs its insane.

I have a level 45 sorceress currently, but I am realizing that the combat isn't actually the focus now which is discouraging. I like the classes, but I'm probably going to stop playing because the end game is literally just grinding. No dungeons or anything interesting, and PVP is impossible to keep up with unless you're a no-lifer.
I'm trying to find a fun grind, but BDO has no endgame, PoE is just mindless clicking, and Tera is dead.
I like the atmosphere of BDO, but I just want a fun fucking game with similar combat and not a soulless grind.

don't fall for this meme, the gameplay is decent but to get anywhere you need to spend 100+ dollars for your character to be able to hold enough weight and to buy pets that autoloot for you if you don't have these you will be gimped forever

DONT FALL FOR THE KOREAN MEME GAMES THEY ARE DESIGNED TO STEAL YOUR MONEY
>>
>>379456768
I'm not a shill but I will inform you.

>Housing
Players can purchase properties with Contribution Points (which you get from doing quests, quests don't reward XP they reward cont points instead). You can then use these properties for various purposes, either as a personal residence you can decorate and put alchemy/cooking/short duration buff tools in, or as a workshop for your workers to produce something, or as storage space to expand your storage in the town its located in. Housing ties into the worker system a lot and its too complicated to get into in one post.

>Ship-build
Works off the housing building, buy a property, turn it into a shipyard, throw the mats in your bank then have your workers put it together. Takes quite a while for a regular sailboat. Takes you literally 6 months of playtime (thats time spent ONLINE on your character) to make epheria sailboat.

>Sailing/Naval Combat
Get a boat, sail it around. There is a big ocean filled with monsters in between the two continents. The epheria sailboat and guild galleon have cannons you can man to blast the monsters out of the water. They drop stuff. They are also very tough and a long and terrifying fight. As far as I know, no one bothers trying to pvp on the ocean.

>Guild system
Join a guild, get paid every day. Your pay rate is set by the GM so expect pennies unless you are in his inner circle of officers, who all get rich as fuck. Run guild missions to get money for the guild to fund node war (organized pvp) and breed elephants and stuff.

>PvP
Extremely unbalanced, laggy mess. Entirely gear dependant, and as such can be wallet warriored to victory. Warrior and Ranger in particular are ridiculously overpowered right now.

>Is it Pay2Win?
Yes, unequivocally. You can't progress in this game without gear. You can't get gear without grinding. You can't grind without pets to auto-loot for you. You can't get pets without buying them for real money, as they are all sniped off the AH by bots.
>>
>>379457873
>but BDO has no endgame
What is endgame? Running the same 2-3 dungeons over and over again like other MMO's?
>>
>>379457009
They are.

It was discovered months ago that a bitcoin miner was hidden inside BDO's code. That's why the game incentivizes you to never shut it off. It was a huge scandal.

I don't know if it's still there or not, but I'm guessing it is since the devs are in fucking korea and can't be prosecuted.
>>
>>379456085
It has no actual endgame so the endgame is grinding and pvp and grinding so you can pvp and not be garbage

>>
>>379457873
To be strictly correct, there are instanced dungeons in the game. Out in the desert you occasionally come across a portal that leads to an instanced dungeon, but these require a party for the most part, drop nothing exclusive, and grinding regular mobs for silver is more effective, so literally no one does them.
>>
>>379458038

So it's shit, then. Thanks.
>>
>>379458202
See this >>379458084
Please define "endgame" as BDO is the game right now with actual endgame. Conquering nodes/forts with your guild striving to be the best guild on the server or just take nodes to get more money. There's not a single person yet that got BiS gear, so there will always be something to strive for.

In your regular themepark MMO all you do is farm your weekly cap of the ingame currency by running the 2 same dungeons over and over again and then you're done.

>>379458326
Pretty much.

Its a shame because BDO has a lot of really cool features that I wish other MMOs had. I love the worker system, though I wish those fuckers would work when you're offline (they finish their current task but don't start new ones so if they are on repeat they just stop until you log back on). I like the fishing stuff, though it really needs more depth. I like the hunting miniskill, but once again it needs more depth and needs an actual point to do it outside of whale molars and fugitive khalk stuff. The alchemy and cooking systems are very in-depth and enjoyable even if its a pain getting the right ingredients, and the combat is really good for an MMO, although PvP is unbalanced.

Its like every good thing that BDO has going for it is counterbalanced by some critical flaw which fucks it over.
>>
>>379456085
As someone who played on launch and again during the Olvia revival I will say that it's really not worth getting into unless you have a lot of time on your hands, love grinding, AND are willing to put a fairly significant amount of money into the game.

Pets are absolutely required at a high level of player. You aren't able to aoe loot or loot pack quickly so you are completely reliant on the pets to loot packs while you keep up the pace. These will cost you around $40 depending on which types you want or the current sales. These are across all characters

Weight limit increases aren't absolutely required but will significantly increase your farming efficiency. $20 to get the most value out of a single purchase (not worth doing smaller unless you already have the higher cost increases). This is character specific so you should figure out what you want to stick with before investing

Maids are basically just remote access to your storage and will help significantly with depositing large weight stacks. $20 for one and account wide

Inventory space is mostly for fishing and not a major deal breaker. In most situations the things that will cause you to slow down during your farming sessions will be based around weight
>>
>>379458390
there is no END to the GAME, BDO you literally just GRIND FOREVER

there is no hardest raid or last boss or best gear and even if there is
>here's not a single person yet that got BiS gear

the game has been out for how long? if you enjoy mindless carrot on a stick gameplay to such a massive degree you may have a problem
>>
>>379456085
It looks great.

Thats pretty much it, its too complex to be a fun mmo unless you get in hardcore, costumes/armor doesn't change unless you buy it so that also sucks, because its so action combat you need good fps to play without getting a headache so you either lower the quality which defeats the purpose of being such a beautiful game.

I would love it if it was f2p.and had a catch up mechanic like Tera does that allows you to get mid-tier endgame gear for basically free.
>>
>>379458564
That's wrong, though. Level is a HUGE deal. A level 57 will have a big advantage over a 56 because they have a greater baseline chance to hit you and you have a lesser baseline chance to hit them.

Don't even try fighting a level 59 or 60 as level 56. After 3 levels of difference you will basically always miss them even with extremely good gear.
>>
>>379458736

>>379458685
I've heard the most ridiculous excuses that BDO players come up with the justify the pay 2 win cash shop.

The excuse the takes the cake, though, the one that I will NEVER forget, was when one particularly salty wallet warrior informed me that "since the game was only $30 i think of the other $30 i spent as for the other half of the game".

What a fucking joke. Never play anything F2P that comes out of Korea. In fact never play anything that comes out of Korea period.
>>
>>379458797
It can be, are you okay with BDO's "endgame" being 3 months of grinding mobs?
>>
I tried the free week out and had a blast, got up to 46. Loved the node system, enjoyed t he crafting. Combat was fun.

I did not purchase the game because I felt I had played all of it's content.

Yeah I could craft better things, could get to max level... but for what? There's no endgame. Only worldboss zerg rushes.

There's pvp, which is fine for what it's worth, but there truly is a p2w aspect of the game, and with so many other titles it's just not worth it.

Solid, novel MMO. Would not recommend,

>>
>>379458797
I'm not him but there is no real 'endgame' unless you can count Node War PvP ambitions. The world raid bosses like Dastard Bheg are largely a joke that people beat up within SECONDS for a tiny chance of a boss gear to drop (it never drops). People regularly make lvl 1 alts and deposit them at the boss locations, and as soon as one spawns (a server wide announcement goes out that they spawned), they will switch over, hit it once, and hope for a boss drop for their main.
>>
>>379458797
Not the guy you are replying to but endgame in BDO takes the form of PVP battles for territories controlled by guilds. Thats the whole point of it

Progression happens as follows

>Hit
>Start doing dailiies
>Dailies give you summoning scrolls to fight bosses
>Bosses drop good shit
>Also you can do world bosses.
>Now you have to get the same version of gear to enchance that gear to best in slot status
>Once you are all geared up, go to pvp and do node battles between guilds.

Basically the same as dungeons but without the dungeon

It's great aslong as you don't go into it expecting a real MMO. It's a 10 euro singleplayer grind game with some pretty great sideshit to do, like playing the economy game. Hell, its more of a business game than a grind game, with a side dish of good pvp.

Also in this game you're not in a hurry to grind through levels, since theres so much shit you gotta do, and doing it along the way is easier

>>379458901
I really did enjoy the combat in the game, but I'm not deluded enough to be oblivious to their disgusting money grubbing tactics, especially in regards to character specific purchases

>>
>>379456768
>Housing

It's cool to customize your house, but most of the good funiture is cash shop only.

If you want to decorate your house with purely in-game obtainable items, then it'll take you a few days unless that's your main focus.

The actual system is pretty sweet, though. You literally buy a house in whatever city you want and own it. (As in, it is an actual building in the world that you just walk into)

>Ship-building
Grindy as all hell, and unless you want to really get into some hard-core ocean stuff, not really worth it.

Actually sailing around with friends and even hunting whales is cool as shit, though.

>Sailing and naval combat

Haven't done it, so can't comment.

>Guild System

"Hey, Tim, wanna make a guild?"

"Sure!"

Three days later...

"Hey Tim, here's a shovel"

"What's this for?"

"Dig my grave for me, Tim."

>PvP

The main End-game, but that's mostly only due to the limited options for combat focused end-game.

It's unbalanced as all shit, you will be shat on, and you might even get one hit if you're against a Wizard.

But it's fun as hell when it gets good.

>Is it pay 2 win

Kinda.

By paying, you can max out your invintory space, and for things like Fishing and trading, this is a huge deal.

That's the only real P2W aspect I can think of though.

Most people will say pets, but I've never spent a dime on the game and I own two. (Bought them off the auction house.)

Something where you can pay money and win. Something like, you bought a cash shop set of gear that can only be acquired through the store and utterly BTFOs anyone who doesn't have it. Or a consumable that instant wins the encounter

Meanwhile in the rest of the world it means items that are statistically better than non-paid variety.

By your definition the game could have a cash shop item that literally makes you ten times stronger than regular players and it still wouldn't be pay to win because a person could just stand there and let someone else win.

Fuck off.

Show me another mmo which completely forces you to make your own money and has completely sniped the balls right off cash abuse, while progressively killing any form of botting, because of ridiculously stupid grind and market set ups, that has action combat that isn't pseudo hotkey garbage like tera with proper skill canceling in a seamless open world, where I can run straight into my fucking house from the street outside with no loading screen of any kind with multi guild territory wars that take part in the seamless open world every single day.

I'll wait.

You can always make one of the many costumes ingame. My only issue with that is having to buy a pass to convert the costume from Gear to actual Costume

Sounds like you're arguing for your personal definition of pay2win. And no, my definition means anything that makes you win is pay to win. The absolutely most over powered and broken thing you can possibly get off the pearl shop is a pet that loots stuff for you. Thats it.

You've never played a real pay2win game in your entire life if you don't think BDO is a grey area

I had some good fun in the beta at least. just messed around with a friend in the starting areas knocking each other off the airships and stuff. then on the last day we got a shitty rowboat and sailed all the way to where the pvp island was going to be. after countless times getting killed by jellies and sharks we finally made it, but a message popped up saying something like "a dangerous beast lies ahead you must turn back" and it teleported us back to mainland.

there was also one memorable moment when the game was actually out. this guy got his harpoon boat in the middle of a city and harpooned at invisible walls to drag the boat into the sky and spin it around like a rollercoaster while we hung on to some nets.

There are certain costumes you can make for cosmetic purposes, like the shroud knight outfit. But sadly theres no other way to make it cosmetic unless you use IRL money. The costume serves no other purpose than to take up all your armor slots for looks.
>>
>>379460197
How about a suit that hides your name ingame?
How about players can buy 100 inventory space and the possibility to set up your worker empire standing in one place? Or how you can buy to collect more when gathering?

A game is P2W when 2 people don't only start at the same spot, but one player gains unfair advantage as the game goes on, no matter how hard the other player works. This doesn't apply that much in games where leveling is just garbage you gotta do to get to max level, where the real game starts, like WoW

10 energy per interaction with the value pack on the node connection via map. This does not discover the node for you, nor does it tell you how to invest, nor do people have the energy to waste on that stupid shit, strictly emergency.

RNG is RNG, I been playing since release, no amount of cash shop will save your soul of trying to get your hands on actual boss gear you fucking idiot. I got around 6 billion just sitting with my hands up my ass right now, because bid system garbage.

A few weeks before BDO came onto Steam I was looking at it for an MMO to get into with some friends. Steam was charging $20 to pre-order, but the official game site has a free 7-day trial on the website, so I signed up for that.

My account had to be activated before I could download the game, and that took a day. Once I got into the game it was pretty fun. Combat is fast, clicky and engaging. It feels a lot like Dynasty Warriors, where you just hack and slash everything. The graphics are pretty great too, but it feels like every object is fighting for your visual attention.

Gave BDO up after my trial though. Combat was fun, but holy fuck does the game throw you in the deep end. The UI isn't too bad, but there are so many systems going on it's hard to absorb everything. You have towns, nodes, gathered resources, job, peons, crafting, and so many other fucking things to do - and you're supposed to be involved with all these - I got completely lost. Not to mention the questing aspect is a hot mess. You just run from A to B, kill some X and Y and then your nigger ghost gives you a reward.

A lot of the game is automated, so you'll see a lot of player grinding without actually playing.

All in all, give it a go. If you like it, good for you. If not, then who cares.

And prepared to be completely thrown when a voiced NPC's dialogue doesn't match their subtitles

So let's say both players play 5 hours a day for 2 weeks. Can the player who didn't pay money challenge the player who used all the IRL money bonuses? Especially since he probably used all the extra gold to buy great gear
>>
>>379460135
So, the impossible, got it. Jokes aside;

>completely forces you to make your own money

I don't understand this. By dumping months worth of energy and hitting the same grinding spot for weeks on end? That's the opposite of well done money mechanics.

>completely sniped the balls right off cash abuse

By punishing and inconveniencing everyone severely and pushing them to cheat instead.

>while progressively killing any form of botting

Confirmed having never played the game for any extent but I'll humor your arguments anyway.

>because of ridiculously stupid grind and market set ups

A global 35% tax on everything where that tax is being wasted isn't a ridiculous? An item limit on shit you put up isn't stupid?

>because of ridiculously stupid grind and market set ups

Oh my fucking god, stop. It's tab-targeting without tab-targeting, it does nothing right, you cycle through your same shit 4-5 skills and hope for the best.

Hardly matters when the LOD is the worst trash I've ever seen in any game.

>where I can run straight into my fucking house from the street outside with no loading screen

Yeah, your instanced house, no shit.

The point is that it's p2w if one player gains advantage with money. And being WAY ahead of the player who didnt pay sure seems like an advantage to me. Or how about this. I wanna fight a guy who is using p2w. I kill him, he just pays to be instantly revived.

Oh, so it takes a gear slot eventhough its cosmetic?
So those don't basically count unless you RP or something
>>
>>379461120
Absolutely. Once you hit about 56 or so the level difference becomes marginal at best and will be decided by skill, gear and of course how many guild members each side brings to the fight

Also most best in slot gear items sell in the arena of three hundred million on the games auction house. If you go to the pearl shop, and buy a 30 dollar outfit. you can sell it for 20 million. So you'd be looking at a pretty hefty credit card bill for someone to be geared up on money alone.

Like I said. its a grey area. Def a 'pay to get an unfair advantage' but not quite something I'd call pay to win
>>
>>379461303
Kill him again. Simple. It's pvp and you literally gain nothing from it.

Now for the p2w money advantage, what the hell do you mean. You gain plenty of free inventory slots from doing quests, which everyone does. Nobody skips them.

And you're also limited on how many times you can gather items due to energy. Do quests. Get more energy. Have a fucking wagon with you to load up for god sakes.

Does anybody even like games here?
>>
>>379460934
In this case, plenty yes, for a buy to play game nearing the border line of free with the entry price being only $5 right now. Considering I've gotten by with one purchase ever, you can too. I've seen people start with nothing and in literally 2 weeks are the richest on the server, RNG is RNG. This is a standing problem with this game, no matter how much people cry about the cash shop, fucking none of it and I literally mean fucking nothing that the cash shop could ever fucking net you, will ever fucking prepare you to be completely fucking ravaged by awful rng. Fucking Nothing. You could debate me all night on this, but nothing literally nothing you ever fucking say to someone who has been playing a literal fucking year now, will ever buy into your bullshit. Nothing in the cash shop will save your fucking soul from the ass ravaging rng in this game. Fucking nothing, you want to believe your soul is okay that you can just magically make all your problems vanish with a credit card, life doesn't work that way. The lottery is a stupid tax. The cash shop is charity. The RNG in Black Desert Online is by far one of the most insufferable fucking things to possibly exist. And nothing will ever save you the pain of knowing you burn multitudes more hours into watching a bar fill up a certain color based on your own voodoo, because what you believe isn't on your capitalism. It's how much of the devil's dick you wanna suck to get one rank on one item, which holds no monetary value neither here, heaven or hell.

It was good.... for about 4 days.
Then I realized there's no end-game pve content, quests are useless, p2w cash-shop, shit itemization, I look at 53 the same way I looked at level 1, the mega-grind turns on past 50 lvl and doubles every level.
But seriously - no decent pve.

See thats where we disagree. I don't consider something pay to win unless you pay money and win. End of story. if any marginal advantage is pay to win than I can't think of a single MMO out there that isn't pay2win. Hell WoW is pay2win because of WoW coins by that logic.

>Also how about instant revives? How is that not p2w?
Don't know if they've changed them since I used them but instant revives always started me at low health so if I rezzed in a dangerous spot I'd just be killed again.
>>
>>379461867
Even if you start at low hp, wouldn't that still be p2w? You pay money to effectively gain a second life, or if you wanna look it from another direction, you gain money to directly gain more hp in the fight.

If you gotta make excuses for these things, your point doesn't seem very strong

Its pretty great, one of the most advanced mmos ever released. Easy to start but hard (tedious even) to get into top tiers (top gear\upgrades, setting up your daily profit
income, breeding horses etc). But overall it really "incomparable" experience. Visuals,
fun and engaging combat, comfy cities and villages, tons of stuff to do besides pvp\grinding mobs. Its a next step in mmos in general and deserve a lot more recognition then it currently has.
>>
>>379462082
How is it only p2w when you come back at full hp? Is 99% hp not p2w then? 50% Where do you draw the line? A logical line would be where you literally can't get anything off before you die. There's ways to regen hp too, after you revive. Does it matter that the chance of surviving is small? You're still giving you a extra change to survive buy paying money?

>>
>>379462142
How am I cherrypicking, sounds more like you're trying to do so, or atleast before you just gave up in this post. You pay real life money to effectively gain more hp in a fight, however much hp you gain after a revive. Even if it's just 10%, would it be fine as well if you could click a button to suddenly just gain 10% extra hp in a fight.

You just stated like 5 excuses like "parroting" or "no one gives a shit", but it's really fucking simple.

You're paying real life money to gain an instant extra life in a game where PvP is the main player interaction. Nothing else to it.

Also let's be honest here, BDO isn't really an MMO, it's a fun game and all, but the only player interaction comes from PvP and boss crolls, besides that everyone is just a glorified NPC running around

>>379456085

>>379462298
I draw the line where you come back to life and get one shot. 1 v 1 scenarios are something that simply doesn't occur in real PVP outside of the PKers. But for the sake of argument. We'll assume a 1 v 1 is happening. And we'll assume both players are evenly skilled and geared. One player wins and kills the other. No matter how good the winner is, he will have taken a few blows. If the loser can pop back in at full or any decently sized chunk of health. Then yes, it would be pay to win as he can just tap a button. but as it stands now- and this may have changed since I have used one. When you use one of those, you pop into place with a tiny bit of health and are effectively going to die unless you wait for an opportune time. So I can't call it Pay2Win. Because you aren't paying to win. You're paying to skip the walk back. As far as hard numbers? I'd say anything at 25% or more health would qualify it as pay2win while that is not a lot of health. I feel for some classes it would be enough to cause some trouble on a wounded enemy.

You must be nubile. Yes, pretty much every MMO is p2w to some degree now. Back before the industry was unanimously considered dead and shit though this wasn't the case. You paid a sub or bought the game and then every advantage you got had to be earned. The whole "you're better off the more you pay" option did not exist. Everyone was on a level playing field.

Alright, so let's imagine that I agree with that point, eventhough I think it's bullshit, since it's still a clear advantage in combat you paid for.

How about this then. Especially at higher levels, losing xp on death really hurts, you're not losing any when you revive.

Also how about this. On node/guild wars you got a ton of people with instant revive, you think it's not gonna matter? You think the guild with 100 instant revives doesn't have a HUGE advantage?

Also, how about Karma? Some guy comes and occupies your farming spot, so you kill him. Nope, he instant revives. You kill him again, lose karma. Repeat as many times as the other guy wants, until your karma is completely fucked

>What game even does this. p2w would still be considered only a concept if games actually let you pay to be god.

Its become less of a problem over the years, hence why people think BDO is Pay2Win. But there have been many titles in which you could pay for consumables that instant win any encounter or pay real money for a set of gear that will let you one shot people. The biggest offenders are typically browser games. Adventure quest and the like.

Also no, what you're saying is that half of that stuff is kinda irrelevant. But kinda irrelevant is not enough. If these things aren't completely useless ,and I mean "Never ever will use this mechanic", then the advantages you are given with money make it p2w.

And even if they really are irrelevant, you said "half of that shit literally doesn't matter". Half. And a single thing is enough to make the game p2w

I have no direction and the game barely explains anything, so I spend a lot of time alt-tabbing figuring out just what the fuck is going on and I still come up empty.

1-50 is going to see everything dying pretty fast. Once you step over to the 50+ zone east of Heidel, everything has life for days and everything hits like a truck

literally got lost on my way to do god knows what

You literally grind mobs for all your levels, and do the quests the coon shade gives you just for the satisfaction of closing out of that fucking pinging

more currencies in the game than TERA at current, and literally none of them are explained

Each town is so copy-paste samish, you have no clue where you dropped all your shit off at without having to look at the large as fuck map and guess basic geographic features

>>379463654
I'm sure you don't play this game and if you do, quit for everyone's sake and if you don't play, don't start. You sound like the kind of faggot everyone hates talking about video games to.

Are you denying that he just used real money to gain an advantage over me?

You keep throwing all these other arguments around, but it's really, REALLY fucking simple.

"Is this player gaining an advantage over me by paying money?"

There's no room for
>Well, you know, it's just a small thing...
>Well, you know, it's only a 10% hp you gain if you revive
>Well, you know, no one's REALLY gonna use THAT many revises, are they?
>Well, it's not like just 7 days of free inventory space, node investment from far away and all that matters...
>Well, it's just karma, you know ...
No, just the one question, and a yes or no answer.
>B-but it's not that simple!!!
No, it really is

You already know the answer, what are you looking for, why are you being such a whiny bitch. Did something actually not give a fuck about the bitch faggot karma system and you realized they going red on you meant nothing as they proceeded to butt fuck you to death all over sausans. Why are you really pushing this hard to hear what you already know. Did you really waste a bunch of money on tears, because you couldn't stop crying tears as you ran into someone who really didn't give a shit about the karma system, because you're a piss ant of a player in reality.

Google it, I can't remember how it works but there is a method to it. It's overly complicated and essentially just a labor point sink. In addition it's not really fun IMO so I wouldn't not advise just using a calculator, which exists.
>Nodes
Putting points in them gives you exp gain bonuses (and/or drop bonuses? can't remember) or allows you to send workers to them. If you're grinding somewhere, or want workers to collect the resource there, connect them to your network.
>why is everything dying in 1 hit
The enemies are really easy for a bit but their difficulty ramps up pretty quickly around level 30 I believe, and get progressively harder per level as the game goes on.
>hiring workers
Use labor points at a worker contractor to cycle through various workers. Some options are better than others, and each race has distinct properties (slower move speed on the giant for example, might want to google that as well). You must have a building they can sleep in (I think a town allows 1 worker without a sleeping quarters if you have a node there). Then you can send out workers to nodes connected to that town and they'll return those items over time to your storage. They must be fed (most optimally with beer) and sent back out again after a designated amount of IRL time. Another use is if you have workshops set up in that town, you assign workers to it and they'll take items from storage to complete whatever item you've assigned them to craft.

It's been a while since I played, so some of that might be a little off.

They really should add some kind of end game pve

Not like a WoW raid or anything but maybe some kind of deep dungeon/open world dungeon that scales with difficulty the deeper you go

>People spending more than 4€ on the game
Just buy it on sale and level up 1-3 classes until you are satisfied then quit the game. Don't bother with life skills just enjoy the combat.

What's the fun in an encounter you have to revise for and know exactly what it contains before you enter it? Also the community are saltfaggots who HATE trial and error so most groups will quit if they die more than once.
Endgame PvE should be more unpredictable, randomized, should be more about reaction times and should insensitive you to never give up.

my thoughts are definitely throw it on to an SSD if you can - noticeably less stutter and pop-in, and probably placebo but I swear animations are smoother too.

One of the only games I've ever seen get such big benefits besides just loading times
>>
>>379456656
Are they going to add things like that in the future?
>>
>>379467517
There is a huge amount of people playing WoW, you can't just generalize at that scale - it will be wrong.
