    180 degrees? To be fair I just got in the zone of unlocking content with blue quests, this was one of them. I had to unlock hard mode dungeons and trials to continue msq/earn the token things to buy gear, and i had to level up my gc so i can sell my unused gear so i had to do fates anyway. So...

    Everyone saying "just wait til ____" question, no spoilers, but does the writing improve? I get the impression that in the expansions theres less "collect 10 bear asses" filler quests so you get more story nuggets and maybe start to give a shit about any of the characters or their problems...

    Thats a pretty cool tool for dungeons, but is there a tool to see where blue quests are? the only ones I can find are levemetes and class unlocks (So you wanna be an ____) but I'm definitely missing some options in various menus. I've been using...

    So I pretty much regret having skipped all the blue quests, Whoever suggested only doing MSQ + Class quests did me dirty. I spent most of the afternoon going around and doing all of them to unlock various dungeons and hard modes (many of these are required for the msq) and game features. I...

    finished the ARR now in the post ARR pre HW MSQ. Actually MSQ caught up and surpassed my actual level, hit the last quest in MSQ and was 49.5. Had to do a duty roulette and a hunt quest to hit 50 and continue. Since everything gets deleveled in MSQ anyway, there's really no point in skipping...

    wow you guys sure are defensive, projecting much? You know what they say, the things that hurt you the most are those things which you know to be true... I'm not being negative, trust me you will know when I shit on a game. There's a laundry list of faults with this game so far, i haven't...

    to be fair I mostly skim this thread looking for answers to my newbie questions. people start talking about story or plot or throwing out random acronyms like i'm supposed to know what that means and it's all greek to me. "just wait til your level 78 in the underdark caverns of qpertq and W#E...

    You mean the "oh geez golly, the inquisitor who is drowning everyone to prove they aren't witches, that's the bad guy" quests? Yes I did that. Go recover a blimp so I can sail it into a fucking tempest, sure, sounds smoothbrain enough. Alright, whatever. Better than the last part which was...

    welp up to mid 40s now and it seems the MSQ is finally catching up to my level, now at MSQ 40. died for the first time in the Titan trial. Seems like there is no death penalty or anything, to be expected. full sprout group, we wiped twice actually. first time everyone ran to the red and got...

    dude for the first month when this game actually had players, none of the invasion portals beyond the newbie ones worked, and OPR wasn't even in. You got all of your azoth from running quests, and that's exactly what the casual experience was, running quests. Yes general travel was hugely...

    New World

    Everything I mentioned affected the casual player. Azoth costs being slightly different depending on faction control had zero impact on casuals. The vast majority of casual players joined green because it was cool, and to a lesser extent purple, probably 65/35 split. zero casuals joined...

    nary a soul said "you know what, I love this game and everything about it, its design, gameplay, ui, combat, story, lore, just fucking love this game. But you know what, the azoth being 150 instead of 50 to travel is just a bridge too far, i'm going to quit because of that" People quit because...

    No this game failed because whoever was in charge kept changing what kind of game it was going to be, from an private server survival game to persistent online survival to battle royale and then finally to an MMO. Given how completely incompetent the devs were at launch I think its safe to say...

    Sure but I was referring to the above quote. Episode 6 was great for fans of the filoniverse and fans of the prequels. It was hot garbage for fans of the original trilogy.

    nah i was responding to the last 2 pages were people were talking about the game in general and comparing it and features they'd like to see, vs various other games, like, EQ, WoW, etc. I don't really get the WoW comparisons other than comparing the reigning champ on decline vs the next big...

    Oh hell nah. Like i said im holding my review til i get a feel for combat and my class, which apparently will be in another 20 or so levels. I dont wanna delve too much into "the rest of the game" until I have a feel for combat, but the "rest of the game" feels very BDO-like with a few major...

    Going in to this episode knowing it was the finale after watching episodes 1-6 you are like how the fuck do they tie this all together? How do they connect these dots? Did a schizophrenic and his 7 different personalities write this show? Yet the finale ties everything together and calls back...

    I've been holding off posting my review/thoughts on the game and comparisons to other games because to me class design/combat is the most integral component to game design and I still won't know until 50-60 levels of tutorial are complete, but so far this is black desert but story gated.

    Thematically yes poison mauradon wing, i meant size and time, about 15 minutes and maybe 40 mobs. Its definitely a starter dungeon but more complex than the first 3 newbie dungeons which were 8 mobs and a boss.

    I did the first i guess you would call real dungeon last night. The 23 dungeon in the msq where you fight the spider to save the flying onion lady? Queue pops and we are all sprouts. We were all deleveled to 27 since its +4 but clearly all of us were new. I ask if anyone knows where to go...

    i've bitched for the last 10 pages about not having enough skills to even know if I like this class or know how it plays and how boring it is pressing 1, then 2 over and over again between cut scenes and your solution is start a 2nd class at level 1 and repeat that experience for another 32 (34...

    you guys really should start a brand new character so you experience the game as it stands currently :p Guess what, you get no skills for like 30 levels. and you level past the MSQ quick. Hence my questions in this thread. per all the new player guides/recommendations in this thread I have...

    Well that's kinda hard since its my first time in any of these dungeons. I am just following someone who knows where to go and when we get to a room i pull aggro on everything. The first 4 newbie dungeons didn't really have many adds, like a hallway/room with a pack or 2 then miniboss/boss...

    well I'm running all these dungeons for the first time and so i'm watching the cinematics, and by the time the cut scene is over i'm all alone in the instance and in the party.
