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

    Crimson Desert

    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.

    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.

    Crimson Desert

    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.

    Crimson Desert

    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.

    Crimson Desert

    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.

    Crimson Desert

    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.
  20. Zindan

    Crimson Desert

    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...

    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.

    Crimson Desert

    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...

    Crimson Desert

    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...

    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.

    I've watched several reviews now, they all comment on controls (usually Controller pov), puzzles and mostly small annoying bugs. FightingCowboy rambles on about a lot of stuff here:

    This guy seems to have not played the game at all, not even the media preview (as far as I can tell from his channel), he just extrapolates from what other people have said or alluded too.

    Don't be one of those "ai slop" morons. I do agree that several of the "results" we saw in these demos were trash, but others were quite good. If I were a game dev, I wouldn't let DLSS5 touch my work if what we saw would be the result, but it appears gamedevs will have total control over how...

    Saw a headline from a PCGamer article about this that said DLSS 5 clearly applies AI beauty standards... lol.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Literally AI Slop! /s That Grace image is really close to what you'd see where someone use some AI image generator to recreate her, very odd. Most of the other stuff shown off does indeed look like changes to actual lighting, which looks amazing.

    Some PC performance takes from Digital Foundry. The difference between no Ray Tracing, and the RT supports is pretty huge.

    Here is a video going over every Skill that Kliff can get. Also, you can earn the "abyss point" things by killing stuff, so just grind stuff to get all the skills. I had thought the points where going to be ground items that you'd have to find. Whew.
