Familywide lifeskills went in today, which is an amazing QoL change. Most people, me included, will probably still use most of the same characters to do most of the same stuff due to outfits, but family wide auto-ride sprint and not having to take a main lifeskiller over to Liana for dailies will be great.

Also, contrary to my usual absolute shit luck in this game, my Debo neck popped PEN last night, I almost fell outta my chair. I think my stack was around 226, I had just under a 12% chance of success. It was more or less a yolo pull before i take a bit of a break from the game. It's almost enough to make me wanna keep going a bit longer....

Awesome ! This game knows when you are going to quit, then it just gives you that little ray of hope…then 0/15 again 😅

How does the familywide lifeskills work? I logged on quickly and didn't notice anything changed.

For all you guys that have done fallen God armor, can you solo the Turros? With a goofy playtime I have. It’s hard to get a group. I know a group is the best way, and with a loot situation it’s by far the best way. But can you do it solo? Is there a place that’s good to do it, or a certain rotation?

You can but it's inefficient. Imo it's just way faster to buy the armor, or the flame if it's for sale and you want to enhance yourself for your name on the item(last I played there were plenty for sale but that was when they just buffed Dekiah Turos, not sure about now). I did solo for a couple of hours or so there to get the knowledge done it's not hard or anything(I think I had around 295ap and 360dp or so?) just it's balanced around 2ppl so you clear way slower than you should for the amount of drops you get.

Awesome thanks Pyros. Ive heard some people say the grind was worst than anything they have experienced, even with a group. I'll look on the market

Reinstalled and spent 3 hours at blood wolves today on a seasonal scholar and got 1 pity drop, good to see my rng hasn't gotten better since my last play!

Be careful with what you might say in Chat now as PA is sucking the China song now. Hurry words will get you a chat ban or worse.

That was always one of the best aspects of Black Desert. You could let some wild shit fly in chat. Sucks that they've completely reversed their stance, but it just reaffirms my decision to quit.

I started playing again to get a feel for the game prior to the upcoming Ball and the new class. Noticed I hadn't finished the Ulukita msq, so I started it up again. Got to a point where I had to wander around the main city and find the right ppl to talk to... lost the will to continue.

I am sure we will have to suffer through the LoML2 shit to unlock the FG weapons.

I'll never understand why chat stuff bothers people so much. There's a million other places on the internet (like these forums) where you can go to just spend 5000 hours saying all the stupidest/meanest shit you can possibly think up non-stop if that's what you enjoy doing. The only people negatively impacted are the ones who just spam edgelordy stuff in server chat for 15 hours a day for attention.

Right?

I'll never understand why chat stuff bothers people so much. There are a million places on the internet where you can go to just spend 5000 hours in a safe space meant not to offend anyone, even more when you log out of the internet!

The only people negatively impacted by this are people who may have something to say about the Chinese government or their policies and really, they should just keep their thoughts to themselves because no government would ever strong arm a company to remove content that goes against the government, especially not the Chinese government.

Didn’t realize you quit, that sucks.

Yeah, I just realized that the FOMO the game seemed to be leaning into so heavily was starting to frustrate me.

Plus, I really hated that after this long, seasonal STILL dumps you off in freakin' Kratuga. Which is hundreds if not thousands of hours away from places like Ulukita, Dehkia Lantern spots, etc.

It's just a game that favors those who've been playing for years. And I get it, they are catering to the "loyal" players of the game. But it's not a game you can ever really take a "break" from without falling hundreds of hours more behind - hence more FOMO.

Yes, because spamming BDO chat 12 hours a day is the way to bring about change for people who genuinely give a shit about China/Taiwan/anything else. Their courage and bravery truly touches my heart every time. One day, all the gamers of the world will bring about great change through their video game spam.

Stick it to the devs enough and the mmo activists might even reach the pinnacles of change for the good of humanity that CoD lobbies used to achieve (and probably still do, I dunno I haven't played console games in years, do they still spam scream n-bombs and whatever else to try and be edgy?).
