Yes. Starts a bit slow, can feel a bit janky, but if you interact with all of what the game offers, its very good.

Trained the ultimate Controller input skill: Focused Charged Shot: LT to Aim (hold) RT to Charge (hold) LS+RS to Focus (can release) RB (spam 10+ times) Release RT to fire volley. I will never use it in combat, maybe as an alpha strike.

@Springbok What is the pre-req for starting to unlock the Element Imbue? I had thought it was Ch5 and doing the Abyss Islands, but apparently not. Also, those Demenissian Righteous Inquisitors with shields are tough to kill.

Go get this for more R2 AoE fun: Edit: The Ator's Orb shoots out 5 homing orbs that go after a mob(s). Very reminiscent of some of the Sage skills in BDO (along with the name itself).

Also, the Silver Wolf Mountain area seems unfinished, or setup for questing only. I'm running around up there and there are empty forts, towns, and weird behaving npcs, and this little gem: The floating text disappears when closer, and its a puzzle / ancient ruin, no clue how it works though.

Has anyone else seen items like this, with the element symbol on it: No idea what it means. It seems the Deluxe Edition armor is in the game for free, or at least some pieces of it, unless this icon is wrong:

That chart is fucking awful. I recommend ppl ignore it and just look ingame, lol. Also, Antumbra Sword boss is ass. I think its the first real HP check, Kearish the Slayer was a cakewalk compared to this guy, and its not even his final form (final form is elsewhere). I went into that fight with...

No changes to the control setup, afaik, but the menus are snappier to open. @Daidraco They added some of those new teleport pads to areas you've been through. Yet another moment of me being a dumbass. After finishing the Abyss sections last night, I went to Camp and put all but 1 of the Abyss...

Went through all the Abyss sections that were available to me due to MSQ progression, and it was pretty fun. Make sure to search each island for treasure boxes. Got several new Abyss Gear from them. Still very very annoyed there isn't a view distance slider. Being able to see distant objects...

Edit: Whew, and older auto-save fixed my quest issue.

Yea, the patch is live on Steam. Consoles have to wait for verification, I suppose.

Patch Notes: Storage at Howling Hills, first changes for Controls, and better Healing. [Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.00.03 | Crimson Desert Nice stuff in there. I do hope this: "Fixed an issue where screen quality appeared abnormal when activating FSR Ray Regeneration or DLSS Ray...

This was actually funny:

Yesterday I found a puzzle near Kliff's House, used Google to solve it...might have been a mistake. One of the rewards for it displays 7(8) locations for Caves hidden behind waterfalls, and a hidden cave in a village. The village one led to another puzzle, and another reward that displayed...

Mobs are not aggro for a few seconds after using a Pill, so you have time to either heal up and/or start attacking them. Well, you do have a hate-boner for the game, you just shit on what other people think of it daily, lol.

Controller is pretty chill, tbh. 99% of the time you only need to spam Light / Heavy attacks while paying attention to chances for Parry or Stuns. Anything beyond that is just getting some variety into the mix.

I started trying out the seemingly worst Controller inputs, a skill called Focus Shot... and its pretty easy. Press LT to Aim, while Aiming press down LS+RS (can let go once in Focus state) then spam RB to fire off x# of arrows when Focus comes off. Nice damage. Just need a nice bow now. Also...

The person posting that rant supposedly now works for Nexon. Sounds like a disgruntled ex-employee to me.

Sadly, no draw distance slider.

Curious thing. While I was doing that, I happened upon a horse that had what appeared to be the Excavator strapped to its back, like a gold suit of armor with drills for hands. I wanted to try and kill that horse, so I chased it but there were too many mobs to get past. It ran through a big...

He does a lot of cheap damage, but has pretty low HP so when you get the chance to hit him, he'll die fairly quick... its just getting the chance to hit him is a pain.

Had an odd encounter while exploring. There is a location called Torchlight Beacon near-ish Hernand Castle, found a unique helmet there (Helm of Ignition). Now, if you zoom in the map and go north of that Torchlight Beacon tower (just to the right of the second N in Hernand on the zoomed in...

Just now learned that all those Abyss Cresset things at various puzzles are also Teleports, so its just not those teleport pad things that are useful.

Died an embarassing death this morning solving a puzzle in a place called Haunted Hill (north of Hernand Castle aways). You learn a skill there that you then need to use to solve the puzzle by draining some water. The device(s) needed to drain the water require air/wind to make them spin. So I...

To @Droigan what controls felt so janky that you refunded less than 2hrs in? I'm curious. To @Blueweed I don't get the Ultima reference, but at an hour, what jank did you experience?

I -think- you need a better horse than Herspia, or to level it up further for a better Sprint.

Depends, if you wanted to play on a Console, you won't be able to refund if you find the inputs to be game breaking... and there are some shitty inputs for sure. Steam will do the usual 2hr refund, and you can remap the KB/M controls (there are a lot of them though). There is a lot of negativity...

You can remap KB/M controls, but not Controller yet.

First visual issue. When running Ray Reconstruction, while having the Echo skill trained will cause extreme screen pixelation during combat when using dual weapons + heavy atk. Turning off RR fixes it.

Its not that bad. If you want to use KB/M you can switch up keys, but that will take some trial & error. I'm using controller, it didn't take that long to get used to the basic combat flow (with the skills I have unlocked so far). The worst inputs for me atm are RB+Y and RB+RT, everything else...

Its good for Lepic when using his Grenade transcendent mod since you can recharge 'nades via firing.

Messed around with graphic settings a bit. I set everything to that image posted in here, along with using Ray Reconstruction + DLSS Performance. I gotta say the RR is really impressive, but when I set DLSS to Balanced or higher, the image got worse and worse for some reason, and much worse if I...

Anyone able to get their pre-order / deluxe edition items? They are supposed to be in the Supply Chest at the tent you wake up in after reaching Hernand, but its been empty.

Curious about something. Will spoiler it, though its super early on.

Just saw an odd thing about the Abyss Artifacts. I had assumed these were "get it, use it" type items, but apparently not (or it could just be for some of them). When you get one, it has a requirement that you need to meet in order to use it, like "kill 3 mobs in under 30 seconds" or such. That...

I agree somewhat. The "come back better prepared" will work til the really late game bosses, I think, but for those late game bosses you're expected to be fully kitted out, so "gitgud" will apply. There is an item which allow instant res during a boss fight that negates having to restart from...

But but... that just shows they have great impulse control, right??

The 6 from IGN for CD wasn't their "final" review.

Plenty of PS5 footage has been shown yesterday/today. Here:

Eh, maybe? For BDO, it would depend on class by class and whether you would need to focus on survival or not. For CD, there seems to be Trash Combat and Boss Combat, very different difficulty scaling going on.
