But not your wallet 😅
you must be getting payed to shill this awful game
I think one of the key things you missed out on this is how active the development is. There's weekly updates. Granted they're not always big but there's usually new things constantly along with events and such.
The game has too much old stuff it has to cut down
@@richardshiflett5181 Absolutely agree. But they've been saying they realise this so hopefully some of the next updates will be some QoL and bloat removal.
@@placeholder_name673 There is an overwhelming amount of quests but you don't have to ever do them. However, they do serve a purpose for the more hardcore gamers. There are milestone achievements and a very worthwhile reward for completing particular number of quests. For 30,000 quests, you get a +5 enhancement chance on all future enhancements and a 300 failstack.
The weekly updates are always fun to look forward to
Most ppl talk without understanding systems like how the market works like no one ever mentions lifeskilling and a majority of these old items are highly important in that realm
I've been so used to playing MMO's that require group content to progress. Ended up having to do so many things I did not want to do to stay relevant. It's refreshing to be able to do what I want in a game and still feel like I'm moving forward.
For real.. been playing and grinding back then in new world and final fantasy 14 and its so frustrating to find a group for high end runs and im so sick of it waiting for parties, teach to them the patterns, gears, skill rotation of each boses because they lazy to watch guides😂
i dont mind group content, i just hate group content that forces me to be on voice coms 24/7 to beat content cough destiny 2. I like how gw2 does it where u can just casually hop on some group content without any setup like the world bosses and have some fun. Cause i have to admit, i like playing mmos solo most of the time, but I like that feeling of being in a populated world and doing things with other people around me
@jgsource552 I just downloaded this and your comment makes me happy to know I can play this without people.
Really glad you had a fun time in Black Desert so far! I hope everyone else enjoys their time in Black Desert too, and we will see you in-game!
As a BDO Veteran, this is one of the best Reviews in youtube, most youtubers in the "mmo review" section are just tutorial reviewers that play 1% of the game and than just jump to conclusions
Respect Stoopzz. You are probably one of the few streamers who actually "TRIED" the game as a new player and I mean played the right way instead of complaining over everything. Your one of the few that can actually review the game from a newbie stand point.
Pretty good summation of the game in a quick little video. The only thing I'd add is to the new players who might be worried about gearing and how pvp works, there are capped nodewars where your gear doesn't matter *as much* and you can still participate and do well if you play well with lower gear. BDO isn't for everybody, and it's not perfect, but I'd strongly recommend everybody at least try it, because I think it's legitimately the best MMO to ever exist. Hope anybody who tries it loves the game.
@@sealteampepega8403thanks for letting me know there's content behind paywall's. Easy skip for me, won't play games that condone these greedy systems. It'll just encourage other devs to do the same.
@@Corusame with the bunch of freebies they handle, specially to new and returning players, you shouldn't feel forced to pay a penny imo, there only two things that ppl might consider "mandatory", tent and decent fairy (if you want to actually pvp), everything else is just cosmetics and minor convenience things, they love to give stuff like pets and maids like candy, you can even get costumes from market if you really want to..., as OP said, BDO deserves a try, most mmos out there, are pretty shitty compared to it.
@@Corusamelease do not listen to that person. None of the content is locked behind a paywall. You’re free to do everything in the game. There’s also nothing that you absolutely need to buy. Yes, if you buy certain products (such as a tent), you get a boost. However, it is completely optional for people that may not want to take the time to grind. They’re also constantly giving free items everyday to help people out. They also implemented season servers to help give players gear that will basically be ready for end game once the season is done. They do a lot to help ensure people don’t feel obligated to pay for anything.
@@placeholder_name673 I'm playing non-p2w games from now on. AC6 coming out next month, can't wait!
I heard that gearing isn't hard to do it just takes time is that true?
Great review! Hobestly the only thing that stopped me from quitting after one week was the Guild I joined. Everyone has been super helpful with questions I have, especially the veteran players there. I was kinda discouraged because the game is overwhelming for a new player and even after hitting lvl 60, there are times where I just dont know what I should be doing next or striving for. So if you are a new player, try to join a guild and ask any questions you have, they will help you.
Great video on your take of BDO! I personally enjoy the character customization, combat, and in-depth life-skilling tree. There's always something to do and work towards for me, but I can always just do some AFK life-skilling if I need to step away. After playing New World, ESO, and Lost Ark, I can say BDO is my favorite MMO and one I have played, put down, and come back to without a hitch. Glad to see so many others are giving the game a chance and hopefully they enjoy it as much as I do!
Great video, loved your honesty as a new player myself i can agree with most of it.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and praying for you mr man 🙏❤️
Big shout-out for calling out your fellow creators (who we've all watched and benefitted from), and for being a great and even-keeled addition to the community! Cheers.
As a new player to BDO, a refugee of games such as GW2, ESO, I must say.. BDO really takes the spot, it's a very grindy and long-term process but you feel a lot of value in making progress. I just got my first potion piece drop, and my jaw just dropped OMG!! I haven't had that feelin in awhile haha
UPDATE:: JUST GOT MY 2nd PIECE I JUST SCREAMD YESS!! hollyyy shit up to 72 piety pieces about 20 hours of farm xd
DUDE THIS. This is the first game where it feels really good to gain an upgrade, because you know the DEVS value your time and wont replace your new-founded piece of gear with a new expansion that makes it completely useless. Once you get it, you got it.
The heal potion took me 400 hours to get ;) ....was before the pity pices tho :)
Yeah same bro I came over from ESO and the biggest thing that this game hooked me on was the combat, been playing now for over 3yrs and I can still grind for hours just because how beautiful the combat looks
I got the hp pot after grinding for 6 months :)
Solid review bro. Glad you're enjoying it. Bdo is a game i always come back to every few years and have a ball playing. Also was stoked to see you shout out our boy Evildousharm - his videos are pretty much mandatory viewing to understand and get thru some of the bloat!
Blues Elten Piece Clip LOL I LIKE ITt! SOLID Honest Review Stoopz. Glad you be enjoying the game and looking forward to see how far you go :)
hey man i just want to post and say that i hope you get things fixed and get to go home soon. Doctors have told me 3 times that i would not be able to walk without a limp, walk without a cane, ever ride snowboard again. all 3 where wrong. i snowboard more then ever and run in the mountains most days of the week. Keep a positive attitude. you rock.
genuinely my favorite concise and useful review of BDO i've ever seen; too many other vids get lost in the weeds and lose the plot
Best wishes to you man, hope you recover well
I've been trying to get into BDO a few times over the years and every time I just stop playing. The game is amazing for its combat, but my biggest issue is how bloated it is with random stuff. My bank in the first city is full, and I did buy slots many times, but full of random item I don't even know what they do. Tons and tons of systems that are barely explained and a thousand menus. But I do plan to give it a better chance. I've reached lv 53 and understand not even half of what is happening in this game. Like, I had no idea about the tagging system.
I plan lengthy 30+ day breaks from the game, you get bonuses for 'returning' which i see as a motivation to plan breaks. Makes the game more enjoyable to see it as a slow burn.
Honestly this is a great way to play the game. The returning rewards are so nice and they give you value pack time which reduces tax for selling items on the market. That's how I've been playing for years and I'm 700GS. Grind for a week or two and save all your items until you have a value pack. Also if you keep a pre-order up for a 30day value pack from the cash shop they usually fill every month or so. I've got 90 days worth of value packs from the market and events and I haven't bought a value pack from the cash shop in like 3 years.
Underrated. The value you get from taking a break can exceed what you'd get from playing nonstop in some cases. And the safety of Olvia servers is very valuable for players not ready for pvp. I regularly play month on, month off, I consider it a very healthy approach to the game.
Stoopz, your thumbnails are so nice. Really pleasing to see in my sub feed.
im happy the game finally gets his spotlight a little bit. the game was extremely underrated for a while now. it started out bad but it has come such a long way. come in come all in! its nice and comfy here.
BTW: i think adding one of the general News/Updates channels would be good. Anders for example. since there are updates every week for live servers and global labs, that are very relevant.
Im new to BDO and cant decide if Awa Hash or Awa Ninja is for me. Coming from Spear/Rapier NewWorld. I feel like Hash is more a light bruiser, Rushdown class while Ninja is more hit and run style?
One thing to note about pure P2W is how atrocious the conversion rate is. A costume is $30 for 400M silver; which is less than 30 minutes of grinding, this means you'd need to spend $1050 a week to max whale. To get that one item, a pen blackstar, would cost over $5000 for one item, that also has to exist and been made by another player. Keep in mind that whaling the cash shop requires you to sell that costume on the market to another player for silver; so whaling doesn't inflate the economy and also benefits the player-base because they can buy cash shop items with silver. A full set of gear (or 76 weeks) would be over $80k.
I've been playing BDO since late 2017 and spent maybe $600 total on the cash shop over 12k hours of play time. Any time I want a costume (for example, the new black knight costume that just came out); I just put up an order on the market and buy it for silver and the order will fill in a few days. There's nothing on the cash shop that I feel required to buy and anything I want I can just buy from the marketplace after a few days of a pre-order.
There's a famous interview on youtube with a hardcore whale that spent over $150k on the cash shop back when BDO was arguably more P2W and I have better gear than him playing semi-casually a few hours a week. Also note that most of the content in the game is gear capped anyway, like node wars and arena content; so the only place "P2W" benefits you is open world where there are so many grind spots and so few whales that in my 12k hours of playing I've never run into one. Also even if they kill you, karma limits how many times they can kill you anyway. P2W is really not an issue in BDO at all IMO.
This comment should be pinned. You have the veterans like you and me saying "p2w, but you're not winning" (obviously meaning simply "ok, but at what cost?") and all the dummies who think they know best are still making fun of us. I know someone who's p2w a little bit when I never did and although he has better gear and progressed slightly faster, we do virtually the same damage to most mobs and clear most spots at virtually the same speed because of how the game works. However, people don't want to understand the game's systems and prefer to believe that someone paying to win is gonna be far better than people who aren't, PERIOD. This is becoming rather frustrating, especially because it can send the wrong message and incentiveze new players to p2w.
To be fair that is not how people whale in BDO. There is no cap to how many outfits you can buy only sell. Most hard-core players are addicted to the gambling part of the game and risking their items for gains. Again this part is not capped. You can swipe millions in a day if your credit card will let you. Buying outfits to Melt for crons and artisans memories is the real p2w in BDO. But like stoppz said it is a chase items and in most cases pvp is capped gear. Even in open world pvp if someone is 20 ap higher then you but sucks ass on their class you can school them. But to say you can not whale is just wrong.
Thinking that selling costumes is p2w is delusional. There's so many other and better ways to p2w lmao.
@@pinie111 IMO the Real P2W no one talks about is buying Artisans Memory at No Cap and Buying Outfits to Melt into Crons. Again there is no Cap on this. Players can do 2 things here. click their gear non stop for upgrades or Click with Crons to sell them Pens. This allowing them to have unlimited funds. Some spend 100s of thousands on this.
@@TehBrownie Yea, I mean just look at the stuff they put in the shop these days.
When you do the math on artisans, or VP and a couple other things
Not everything is just as simple as straight up melting or selling outfits.
The amount of items is what keeps me from returning. My inventory and storages being full of hundreds of items is really hard to get back into
Thanks stoopz! great vid. glad to see the game getting honest coverage and an actual explanation for laymen as to why the game had the p2w label smacked on it, and why that isn't really true anymore.
i don't think the game was ever bad, but they sure have doubled down on improving areas that caused friction for new players. the enhancing system alone has gotten so many quality of life updates. it almost doesn't resemble the old system where people had to learn on their own how to failstack and how to use a negative karma alt to downgrade your +15 reblath lol
Isn't there still paywalled content that's important to have?
@@Corusamenope
the most salient review of this game ive heard, not too hype, not too negative.
Nice fair review. I came back for the dream horse, ended up staying and having a good time. Just pulled 3 of my friends back into the game as well. I think if they continue to improve new player experience, and give us more ways to progress other than endlessly farming & breaking our gear, the game will do very well in the long run.
it needs damage numbers and dps meter and it'd be 8/10
Great video Stoopz, I'm hopping back into BDO as we speak!
What made me stuck with Black Desert is that long term gear progression. In other MMO you spend hundreds of hours grinding for BiS items just to throw them away when the next content expansion drops. In this game the new gears (except accessories) are just extensions built on top of the current BiS gear. Around 2 years ago when I stopped playing I had a full set of PEN boss gears (was BiS at the time), now when I pick the game back up, the Fallen God series is just upgrading those PEN boss gears I already had.
BlueSquadron, whos clip of "Freedom" you used is an amazing pvp shot caller and a Witch Main.
I think you hit on something that a lot of people don't talk about: It's possible to make a F2P, Shop Monetized game that's fun and sustainable for players as long as it's balanced. As long as a good chunk of that money goes back into the game and community, as long as swiping isn't the sole method of progression, and that the game is actually of good quality - players will tolerate it. That's how these sorts of games should be. The problem is when certain companies heavily monetize but don't stick to those rules.
Yep games that rhyme with Cost Park
I've played many MMOs and don't think Black Desert is any worse than the others. In fact I've spent less in BDO than most other MMOs. Most of the shop items you mentioned they give away in bucket loads. Pearl Abyss are doing fine work! :D
Another thing i suggest doing if you like PvP is to join an active guild, to be honest the guild drama is what makes me want to play more xD
The game changes a lot when you have an enemy guild that you want to crush on PvP, makes you feel motivated to learn more about your class and get better gear. Also some guild discords are pretty fun cause is nice to talk with people while you grind for hours.
Glad people are enjoying BDO. I've been playing for 4 years, come n go, with around 5.3k+ hours of gametime. I recently ended my journey with BDO for good last month and switched to GW2. Hope the game receives all the love it deserves.
GW2❤️❤️🏁
Regarding the item bloat, the patch a few days ago introduced a "newbie" bag and categorization of items in your bag.
This game reminds me so much of an older game called Silkroad Online, only that this one is much better. After Lost Ark i really needed a game where I can focus on one character and a game that has this much account/family shared progressions if I choose to play multiple characters.
This vid was hella nice dude. Idk why you were so critical of it on stream 😂 good stuff
I'm not on any socials but heard about what happened in Mexico, hoping and wishing everything goes well and you make a speedy recovery.
Really love this vid^^ And hope you get well soon(hug
#11:42 is this Woosa? what class is it and whats the name of the reator so i can copy the design? ;d
i shit my pants when i saw my own drakania smack in the middle of your campfire shots, amazing video 10/10
BDO had one of the most fun mmo launches I've been apart of. Played it for a solid year or two. Maybe it's time to check it out again
Hi guys.
I just downloaded the free trial but i eill definitely buy the game once the trial is over.
Now somehow i didnt choose trial character but a standard one.
Why was this even an option and what will happen when the trial is over?
Will i loose progression once i bought the game?
A game that can ruin my life? sign me up!
And I don't mean it sarcastically, I miss the games that would make me lose sleep over them because they hook you in so bad you need to see a therapist just to deal with how unproductive you become in real life. And since I have nothing going for me in real life, LET ME ROT IN MY CHAIR WHILE PLAYING GOOD GAMES!
this is the game for you buddy
I swear, this is the game for you. It really is. Just don't be silly and quit playing because you're overwhelmed or something.
@@Matthew-ij3zm you calling someone out? lol
Well usually I don't quit over that, but i hope for not too much inventory management lol
@@framinthor I kinda was. Not you, of course, but so many people start the game and after a couple of hours they start complaining that there's too much stuff to do and that they're feeling overwhelmed with too much info and whatnot haha (inventory management isn't so bad when you learn to use and expand the warehouses by the way)
@@Matthew-ij3zm well ive just been playing GW2 for the last few months, too much to do is already ingrained in me lol
How the tides turn.
This is the reason its good for mmos to have competition even if you dont like the other games, it pressures the companies to improve the games or else people will just jump ship.
I was having a great time back in BDO until it started mysteriously crashing to desktop with no error as soon as a character logs in. Nothing changed, just started crashing one day to the next. Tried all the fixes (driver, roll back driver, delete caches, etc...) and nothing works....sad.
이 영상과 관련된 건 아니지만 최근 부상 소식을 전해들었습니다. 로스트 아크 때 부터 팬이었고, 스툽즈님의 영상들을 통해 즐거움을 많이 받았었는데 그러한 분이 큰 사고를 당하게 되었다는 소식이 제 가슴을 미어지게 하네요. 부디 치료가 잘 되어 완쾌하시길 바랍니다.
I am 2 weeks new to the game and I am really enjoying it so far. I am playing a Nova through a season server...really loving that class 👍
It’s been awhile since I genuinely liked a video on UA-cam due to enjoyment rather than support. Just got the game on ps5 honestly this is the best review I’ve seen anyone do about a mmo. Even the way you discussed your pc at the beginning didn’t annoy me. Keep up the good work bro.
Best decision of my life was quitting BDO, my life, my career, my social life, my love life, everything went uphill since then.
Sound is great man, no issues at all
The 2 big issues with the game are the fact that the grind is real (as you must spend money and time to do anything), and that it is PVP mandatory after you reach the level cap.
For the PVP; not much you can do: anyone can attack you once you are max level; so if you don't like that, nothing you can do
For the first problem: you are constantly forced to deal with small inventory space, and you get a ton of trash or material you can't use until later, so you have to buy storage, so you have to grind or spend real money... And to advance you have to grind; so you have to invest a ton of time in the game. This is not a MMO you can pick and put down whenever you want; it ask a lot of time of you, and as such it is something you can't play whenever you want.
Other than that, it is a nice one, but those 2 are the biggest blocker for many people
Sick video! Another thing BDO has along with being the best combat mmo. Is the classes, if you are a character fanatic like from league of legends maining a Champion etc, the class diversity and play styles are like no other. Very fun to find the class for you
Try New World :)
Better combat than Lost Ark?
@@Corusame nothing currently out competes combat wise imo, also the camera angle being top down in Lostark doesnt compete in immersion personally
I still feel fairly new to bdo but theres one thing that feels truly lacking and it's a deal breaker for me is there feels like there's no social aspect to it, everything feels single player just with other players floating around in the world, it feels really lonely, maybe I'm missing something or not playing the game right?
I REALLY hope they do something about the items. I've played this since at least about 2016, and as a constantly returning players after putting it down and then coming back - it really sucks and is still overwhelming to me to deal with all the inventory. Considering that inventory slots AND weight are limited and p2w, I hate them constantly throwing out non-stackable kinds of new seasonal and event items that I just can't use fast enough, just to come back and there be even more junk I don't understand. However, it's a solid screenshot simulator and fun combat xD
With how many events there are left and right that gives weight and inventory this feels misleading, capped 2 and going to third on inventory slot and weight around 1300lt. Been free to play since ever -- never had any inventory issues, Magnus quest helped a lot on city chests and it keeps getting better
@@TheReafg not misleading I feel...I have done the inv quests, even spent monet and loyalties on more - I have the valuepack from returning and often try to consolidate...but I still have times where it's not enough. Hell, I don't even have enough [free] maids to do 20 mins of grinding without filling up and not even able to empty the trash loot with maids. God and let's not forget the fact that just silver used to have weight too.
I've yet to see the magnus quest ot increase inventory, only open up the possibility to using more storages as back-up, as if I didn't already do that with some items. But anyone who likes to do any decent amount of lifeskilling and crafting to get things they need, like myself, will have a load of random stuff everywhere. I've got timbers, ores, traces and other trash excavation loot, tools, pots and food (since family inventory have a tiny amount of weight and only like 4 free slots) all taking up most of my storage between calp to altinova. And I wouldn't say I hoard either, considering I don't build and collect a bunch of trade goods, alchemy products, furniture, ect either.
I thought you were familar! I remember you being on the lost ark podcast stuff but that game was just soo much to keep up with
I find lifeskilling the most enjoyable aspect. Sailing around on a ship that I built with workers and whatnot is a great feeling :D
Yeah about the new player experience.. I started playing and there is just so much stuff, so many items and the UI is very small and scales kinda weird when trying to increase it its extremely overwhelming and I haven't logged in in about a week because of it.
lol same, i want to learn and get into it. but man it seems like alot!
Kinda suprised how good this game looks graphically
this mmo was awlays ahead of its genre in the graphic department BUT the "rendered" world was really close to your character
It’s not even close to as good as new world
@@misc328 Lmao it looks way better than New World, you're insane for saying otherwise
@@misc328 go check your eyes buddy
Yeah its on par or better than unreal 5 games
Thank you so much for an actually honest review!
Question is if they got rid of failstacks and improved the armor upgrade system? If not, I'm not going back to it.
Edit: Thanks for the comments for all the changes and workarounds made for the system. Any recommendations on what class I should come back and play? I haven't played it in atleast 3 years at this point.
It's still there but there's some stuff that makes it easier to get around it.
Literally just buy the gear it's not that hard
Season servers give you full tet boss gear and trim accessories basically for free. There are also systems that guarantee you PEN boss gear and a PEN accessory. Enhancing is still a thing but it is not necessary at all.
They didin't but there are ways to safely enhance end-game gear like caphras to lvl 20 or reforming an item to PEN. They also made end-game gear a lot more easier to obtain in the central market even one of the hardest gear to obtain is sitting on the market to buy.
Alright thank you all for the updates good to know!
Might jump back into the game. What class ya'll recommend to start with?
How is the pop in? Any better?
I tried the game multiple times, but it's too confusing for me, I just can't pass the leveling. I had 1 charc at 56 at one time but no different, didn't know what to do, like million things....with no priority
Honestly, even with all the p2w stuff still in the game (which isn't even thaaat big of a deal, if you follow events and do respective quests to get bombed with free shit, like current event has a free storage maid!) this game really grew on me fast as a world to dive in and do my stuff, whereever, whenever and however i want to. the recent developments of this game made that feeling even better and i hope they continue to put as much effort into the game, bc for what it is rn, it hell deserves it.
+ jumping into twtich streams every now and then (like i did with Elly for example) REALLY helps flattening the learning curve for new players. i haven't met a single streamer that doesn't take their time to answer qustions you might have.
I tried playing about a month ago because the combat has always intrigued me but BDO just feels so overwhelming tbh.
What was your Stamina level? what was your AP/DP? Wht level faming or gathering did you reach? Did you know that some actions have more than one benefit?
Didn't think so. Oh and who is Hadum?
Been playing for over 7 years, before NA/EU launch even. Really glad to see Stoopzz and many other people giving the game another chance. I whole-heartedly believe BDO is the best modern day MMO. Sandbox MMOs are the best, and a sandbox MMO with Devil May Cry/fighting game combat is so sick. To all the new players: Welcome to BDO.
i played vindictus before and now since they add those solo bosses it looks actually interesting to try bdo again just for that
just wish they would let you do boss blitz more. its the only other combat pve content other than running in circles for 8 hours or the buggy ass attoraxion.
I just downloaded the free trial, i hope my pc will run it and then i will probably buy it.
@@418792316 Vindictus was great for its time. Both Vindictus and TERA were great steps forward towards true action combat MMOs.
remember that you cant sell 35 costumes at the start. you need to play to sell that many. you need to get family fame to sell the maximum amount
But you can buy an unlimited amount and melt them for crons right off the bat
@@KaboomOxyClean true, but u can endup with nothing, spend 130k euros like that guy and have the same gear as a new player done with season!
:D
@@1F-ANIMAL I mean you can get caphras stones on failed cron attempts with most gear, which you can sell for silver as well.
Are the seasonal servers more active than the regular ones?
currently yes because of the large influx of new players but normally it isnt especially near the later months of season. most veteran players spend only 1-3 days on season to quickly pump their tuvala gear to pen, then go back to their normal main. They only do seasonal for the seasonal rewards which can be earned in a day.
Yes
Should mention that the items used to help you progress, are so available for free with Loyalty points. And you get like 200-500 points per day or something?
Imo the only thing you really need in the cash shop is the campsite & the horn to call your mount from anywhere. But you could even get the campsite for free ingame.
I hope they add more content like the morning light and put more islands or put some things to do on the different islands. The ocean is so vast in this game.
What you think about soloqueue no wow?
Man I really want to like this game but everytime I try to play it I just get so bored after like 2-3 hours and I uninstall it again.
It looks so cool but when I play it idk ...
If you find the controls are wonky with your mouse and keyboard. You should try a gamepad. Bdo's combat flows like a fighting game or a devil may cry game so it might click better for you on a gamepad
Me as a warframe player rushing to download this game as soon as you say the new player experience is hard to get into and that I’d be overwhelmed
Can you participate in node wars if youre not in a guild as a solo player?
kind of but not really. There is a war hero/mercenary system which allows a guild to give you a paid contract to join them for 1 war, where you temporarily join the guild and automatically get kicked out after your contract is over. That is the closest to solo nodewar you can get to.
Idk i just keep coming back and atleast try to get every single class to level 61 as i still have not decided for a main class i enjoy. I started on release lol. Ninja got my attention now, might stay longer than just a few weeks this time. Before 61 being so easy and seasons were a thing, i used to get each class to awakening and then swap class or stop playing until i got the urge to level up a new class lol.
New player experience has been pretty awful without some sort of guidance from friends. I found myself just watching guides for hours while playing, which is not fun, felt like I was studying for college. Uninstalled, will maybe comeback if they make that experience better (I did finish the season).
i wish they would close the disconnect between pvp and pve when it comes to gear. nowadays theres no incentive to farm gear anymore since theres equalized gear in arena
You forgot JaykunTV he is the woosa who helped you in the dungeon and really helpful in answering new player questions.
Im playing this game since 2019 and im rly glad to see so many new players enjoying the game
Worth starting bdo even now?
Even as a veteran-ish player of BDO I thought this was a great review! Makes me want to boot it back up again xD
Ive tried to get into this game many many times but the learning curve and all the things it throws at you in the beginning is really overwhelming.
@@placeholder_name673 i've met people with literally 2 brain cells figure out black desert. you aren't going to understand everything at once, so don't try to, lol. just take one thing and enjoy it til you need to learn about the next thing.
I don't understand why people quit playing instead of continuing and learning at a slower pace. I remember being a bit overwhelmed too but I was captivated and instead of forcing myself to lean all at once, I just took it slow and it all worked out. I mean... I'm not even trying to be mean or anything, I just don't get why people keep saying they stopped playing because they found the game to be confusing like this is a strong argument to quitting a game. Just means you're not that smart or, to be fair, that you weren't that interested in the game to begin with.
@@Matthew-ij3zm True.
There are also many new players that are just lazy though, I've had 2 guildmates recently who started playing and we tried our best to teach and clear questions they had, but they didn't even try to learn, they would often link a item to the chat asking what is that for, when the description of the item says exactly what that item is for. They just don't bother to learn.
The main reason BDO is popping off so much is how much freedom the game gives you. BDO is a sandbox where you establish your own goals between many different activities and there are many ways of getting silver and mats to progress your character. Don't get me wrong it's still a KMOO, however players who came from Lost Ark where they railroad you into gatekept raids experienced a whole new world here. Restricting gameplay is a fatal mistake for MMOs and BDO went with the complete opposite philosophy.
BDO came out before lost ark though 😂. Let's be real, lost ark players aren't moving to bdo because they want an open world experience.
@@TiMEbeatsNoW tbf bdo was also not near as polished or new player friendly when Lost Ark released. Now it is almost a completely different game for new/mid tier players. SOO maybe the lost ark players are now comin over here for the open world experience after hearing the changes? Or maybe you're right, just outside perspective
@@TiMEbeatsNoWthey are moving because its full of bots
Is it too late to get the mount?
Lucky you, its extended!
What class is he playing at 3:47
Love the video and good luck to anyone buying 35 costumes a week.
does it respect my time like lost ark?
Yes
Yes
It respects your time and money. Hella free shit, and also everything’s obtainable f2p 100x more easily than lost ark could ever
The way that BDO respects your time is, as long as you don't do really stupid shit and like sell your progress or something along the way, every hour you sink into the game progressing your gear is pretty permanently there. No expansion that they come out with or new region will ever invalidate progression that you've made in the past. It's a really nice feeling for if you need a break from the game and come back later.
Man With the way i see people on different mmos talk about how many people dont like doing content and just chill Palia is about to be huge.
have not played in a fat while but is 3:41 the new boss rush thing?
@@Meme23322 ahh does the atoraxxion dungeon have loot as well? dungeon looks sick af though
what is a gm?
Is it worth playing this on ps4
I played the game for like 6 hours and it was so boring that I couldn't continue. All the weird items and pop-ups were overwhelming and the UI was so confusing. I also hated the fighting game like controls. As someone who is into group contents like dungeons and raids, I couldn't find any fun from this game.
one thing i want changed about the game is the weird graphically lighting and colour contrast. like the character graphics are nice and the environment is quite good but cause of the bright lighting is makes an ugly faded black rim around your camera. sometime the colours are so heavily saturated it looks like a blob of a single colour. that's my beef on the graphics. it's great that BDO has been doing well so it can force Lost Ark to do some much needed changes, which they have been doing now.
You can tweak this selecting one of the filters and/or disabling remastered. Very High looks excellent, a lot of people think it looks prettier than remaster.
If you’re on console the combat is extremely fun, simple button combos do some pretty cool stuff fyi if you feeling like trying it out
black desert GM's are the best of all mmoRPG's by far
day ago i start to play bd i play archer that is imposible to hit two buttons and its constantly jumping left right and shooting with auto aim but yeah game is confusing af
I just need to get out of the tutorial area, i always drop off there
I am Lv 30ish and been playing for 2 weeks. The game is beautiful and has very involved combat. This is a Solo Game for the most part. You will play solo on questing and against the PvE. There is a player driven marketplace and end game PvP , thats about all the social game systems in the game. Glad they added a little Group Content in the new expansion but it is very limited. Basically its Solo to cap then --> PvP/money farm.
