Black Desert Online

[Z3GR4M]

You guys hear about this game?!  It literally just came out, OMG, amazing man, its amazing, been playing it for 4 days now due to headstart and its the most fun fantasy MMO I have ever played.  

Its kinda like a weird mix of this sandbox, farm simulator, life sim, crazy &#! huge open world thing.  And graphics are 11/10, I have no idea what devils they worshipped or how many goats they screficed to get the game runnung as smoothly as it does with that much stuff happening on screen!

Dudes?! No loading, no instancing, no fast travel, trade, life skills, fishing, boats/ships, crafting, horse/pet breeding, PvP, guild wars, PKing, world bosses, no tab targeting (active action based combat), imersive like 3 levels above anything that has ever come before it, im talking witcher 3 levels of imersion!  In an MMO!!! And a pleathora of other features...

Game is blowing me away, I CANT EVEN!  And that right there basically say's it all XD

Anyways, check it out!

Worth looking into if you are looking for a new MMO, to be clear though its not you traditional game, its more like EVE Online, doing its own thing.

EDIT:. Launch trailer to blow your socks off!!

I've sworn to not play another MMOPRPG and i shall not do so.

I'll stick to Dark Souls 2 instead. And then to 3 when i will purchase it. IF i will purchase it.

Played closed beta and read/ watched a ton of stuff in the last months about the game. Game is really nice from the beginning, but there is near to zero endgame (even worst than Warframe, lol) and it's horribly optimized.

Also there are a lot of gameplay problems as the the small endgame it delivers is mainly a open world PvP experience. Yes, it's a PvP game. Although it doesn't tell you so from start, but PvE is trivial and the mobs are weak and dumb as bread (again even worst than in Warframe).

You can drink health potions all 5 seconds. Resulting in PvP pot battles and even moar trivial PvE. Also there is a extremly grindy upgrade system where you can enchant your weapons and armor to +20. +15 is the "standard" and beyond that the grind gets real. You will remember the "good" times you had in the Void with all those wonderful Bo Prime ornaments and RNGsus screwing you over when you have to grind days for a chance to get your equip one level higher. For every fail your maximum durability takes a hit (down to almost unusable) and if you fail after +15 the item will reset to +15! No matter what the level was before.

To make worst (sadly) there is a massive power curve after +15 resulting in players with complete +18 equip outright destroying an entire +15 group in PvP. Yeah... its Luck > Equip > Skill in a game with the hands down best combat system I've ever seen in a MMO.

Also there is genderlock for classes and the class determines the look of your body. You can do crazy stuff with the remarkable character editor, but the body is mostly locked by the class. -_-

And the cashshop prices are... unreal. A full costume for your character costs 29€! Also the game is Buy-to-Play. (lol)

So yeah. Could be a really good game, but it has just too many problems to bother with. Also the developer is struggeling with those problems since years! Black Desert already failed to acquire a large playerbase in Korea, Japan and Russia. So don't expect those problems to be resolved soon™... sadly.

Spoken like someone who has made a very astute observation based off of other people's opinions.  

There is a metric crap ton of stuff to do in the game, its just not your standard MMO people are used to.  This game will never be WoW or (insert generic game name), ever, thank god.  But it can very much so become the next EVE Online, the game is very player driven, certain tweaks need to be made for western players, but overall its our kind of game.

That being said, loving every minute of the game thus far, and we will have to wait and see where the game lands in the future, but I have a good feeling about the weatern release of it.
