    New World

    Just something simple to make that Fashion even worse: If New World could come close to quality of character model and outfit design as this, it would probably be worth supporting. Edit: Has the game gotten better since last summer?

    Black Desert

    The new Elvia spots were well received by the playerbase because each introduced a mechanic for players to interact with, which made the grind much more fun, so give PA a bit of credit for at least trying to make positive changes to the grind. I hope they continue this trend, but be cautious...

    Black Desert

    Then you won't find the different gear locked dungeons / raids in LA to be meaningful either. Its just higher numbers (the actual raids are getting increasingly mechanic based, so your gear becomes less meaningful once you hit the magic number). The point I was making with BDO being more open...

    I thought if you pre ordered you got into Betas?

    Black Desert

    Both BDO and LA have gear progression that matters for doing content. The design in BDO is much more open ended, where you can go do any content... but it won't be a great experience and not very efficient if you're undergeared. If you're grinding at one of the high end spots, you also want to...

    Black Desert

    Nope, no visible metrics beyond what @Kirun mentioned. We don't even have combat dmg numbers. Seems ok to me. In PvE you see improvement by upgrading your gear which can allow you to grind at higher end spots more efficiently, or by allowing you earn more money at the spots you're already doing...

    I'd be ok if Amazon outsourced their outfit design team to China, if that is the best they can do. Amazingly bad.

    Nice change to Season leveling coming with the new Season: The Main questline has been simplified for existing players who want to make a season character. You follow the questline until velia and then have the option to do the simplified version. For the simplified version all you have to do...

    What chapter have you read up too? I've been reading them at Manga TX, but there was like a month long break before getting ch.89.

    Lost Ark Online

    After you register (I used a throwaway gmail acct) you're supposed to get pop window saying registration is complete. Chrome wasn't letting that go through apparently (even though it let other pop ups go) and would just reload the page as if I hadn't registered. Switched to Edge and got the...

    Has anyone setup an RU account recently? I've been trying to do so today, but registration on the la.mail.ru site doesn't stick, so I can't download. Do I need to be going through a VPN when setting up an account so I can login / download? Edit: Chrome was having issue. Used Edge and got it...

    Lost Ark Online

    From what little I've seen on LA, I think they've fallen into the same trap that Tera and Blade & Soul did in regards to dungeons/raids. Having more and more mechanics does not make a dungeon or raid good. The most mechanic heavy raid in LA right now is the Legion Clown raid, and I think most...

    They have been working on everything they mentioned at Calpheon Ball, and I believe most of the big features will be out this year. The Winter area was scheduled for to be out in 2021, the Land of Dawn (Margoria) is scheduled for 2022. The "endless" dungeon they mentioned is "Terror of the Deep"...

    PA has a tendency of announcing their ideas on what they want to add to the game while those idea's are just that. Also, they announce these ideas way too soon even if they are actively developing them.

    Lots of other info given out, but not sure about anything other than the PEN accessory. We'll get to pick a special version of a Crescent Ring, Tungrad Earring or Narc Earring. Then work on upgrading it over time (up to 6 months) so it can become a PEN version (will cost 10bln in materials)...

    Lost Ark Online

    Yea, we should see a new class for the upcoming beta, no idea which and maybe another for launch. I think people will say combat feels clunky for a couple of reason; Not being used to the hotkey setup, and playing a class that might not have much mobility beyond the Dodge. All the boss fights I...

    Well yea, its a quality game. Its why I think it will be more successful than New World.

    Yea, Alpha stays up til 11:59PM tonight. Game is just really polished. Not sure how people were playing in Alpha at any given time, but I never had any server hiccups. Performance was great even on my outdated system. I can see people getting fatigued with all the cutscenes during the leveling...

    Heh, looks like Amazon made Smilegate change the "race" of certain NPC's (from white to black), but they haven't changed them in the Story cutscenes where they appear in their original forms, lol.

    Still is, that is where I got the link to the build doc I posted. Not really sure how relevant those builds will be for us at release, but it should everyone a general idea on what seems to work well.

    Corsair is the new class, I wonder if its going to be a specialized class like Shai, but focused on Ocean content (I doubt it).

    Right. There are those in this thread who have expressed fear of the game being the "bad" version of p2w, and your posts seemed (to me) to inflate the effect of the Shop on a players experience with the game. I'm going into this knowing I'll dislike that Amazon/SG will be selling ways for people...

    Yes..ok. The costumes give you a minimal stat boost that won't keep you alive, and not having one isn't going to stop you from doing content, lol.

    Lost Ark Online

    Yes, there daily limits to the endgame content, with cash shop tickets to extend how many times you can run. It sucks, but then again you would be paying to run out of stuff to do faster. Not sure how the NA shop will handle that given we are not huge fans of such systems. Since the game is...

    You can swap the mouse buttons back to the normal positions, it's in the settings..somewhere.

    Not sure. I believe the Alpha is limited to a few days, with beta's coming later in July-Sept (Oct release).

    It is the control setup that I find clunky, actual combat feels smooth and responsive. I didn't look around the settings much, but I would prefer to use 1-4 and QWER for skills and Shift +1-4 for potions.

    They are working on unlocking each class, so far it's been the Gunslinger and Martial Artist that have been unlocked (we got the female Gunslinger so far). Patience.

    Hm. Bloodborne or DS2/DS3. I think BB has better combat, but no idea how the combat in ER will be.

    Considering their current issues, I wouldn't be toooo optimistic about playing much today/tonight. Tomorrow is when several sponsored streams will be going on, so they are probably focused on getting to a point that will work (though the Alpha has been playable this week for those streamers).

    Happens with every imported game, so there must be some translation errors, or they are just lying and they bought the cheapest, least reliable hardware/datacenter access they could find. Yet, this is being hosted by Amazon.. so.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I can't see them not allowing for some form of PvP. My biggest concern right now, given that it will have a big open world is whether or not the game will have a map. I'd prefer NOT to have a map at all... let the game world be so well designed that you'll always know where you are in relation...

    Armor has no visual effect at all. You get a base outfit based on class, anything else comes from RNG cash shop or maybe the Auction house afaik.
