It's a poor take, just that. I'm not going to try and convince you the game is better than you have come to think it is.

I'm not sure I can respond to such a poor take.

At first yes, but now, there is no specific relationship other than then CD having some NPC's from BDO that have the same name / personality / use, like Shakatu, Patrigio, Hexe Marie, Kutum, etc.

Never understood the term "soulless" in regards to a game. In every instance I've seen it applied to this game, it has come down to the person using it wanting a more guided experience through the game vs. being rather open "do as you like" type experience.

There is a demo for the game if anyone is interested in puzzle mini-game combat.

Oooh, they finally fixed the noise issue with RR enabled and Nature's Echo trained. I finally play the game in the way it was meant to look.

Bofuri and Bookworm are back with new seasons? Wtf. Is that ever evolving Spider show coming back too? Or Tanya the Evil? Edit: Is Bofuri (100% defense stat girl) back?

Look for Patrigo wandering around Greymane Camp and Pororin from 10pm til 7am, buy his fishing rod and never worry about reeling in again.

I think it was Ch5 or Ch6 where the Story finally took the shape of a "world in danger" aspect vs. the previous stuff being mundane. My main criticisms with the MSQ is that after Hernand & Pailune, it doesn't do a good job at integrating the other kingdoms, and it doesn't really mesh with the...

Do every Hernand side quest that opens up, even it takes far away. Doing so will eventually unlock the legendary beast mounts.

All good changes. I wonder how well the higher definition of distant objects will work out.

I was not in the right state of mind to be going through Ch11, maybe if I had been in a better mood it would have been cool af, but no... it was complete trash and I'm not even done with it yet. Advice though for those not there yet... get the Kuku Bismuth Spear, it will make things less tedious.

The MSQ does send you to every zone, and the Witch quest does as well. Sadly the Witch quest line doesn't feel that developed given its importance. Maybe there is a big lore dump after I kill this final big bad. In regards to Damaine, her gear isn't really an issue. Its more of learning how to...

That convinced me to never play that game (if its an actual maze).

The game does seem to have the ability to check what you've done previously for quest chains, so hopefully once you unlock the quest to do what you did it will auto-complete for you.

There is an item you can get from some side quest that gives you a permanent buff to Dispatch rewards (+50% more). Yet lots of people say it bugs out after awhile, and I think I found out why. You can get the Golden Beer (the buff item) long before doing Chapter 9 (unless you just burn through...

A tried and true form of game design as seen in countless other titles. We will probably never have an rpg game that doesn't involve such tasks.

Anyone unlock the Chainsaw? Its from the Dewhaven Research Institute, but the npc to talk to doesn't have the quest to start it up. I think it is locked behind Main Story progress, but no idea how far. I'm at the start of Ch9.

Here is a video from a well known BDO streamer, EvilDoUsHarm, going over combat stat scaling. tldr; Double crit from accessories is a myth, you actually want 15 points of Crit from gear regardless of what the stat sheet shows.

First dispatch mission to Timeworn Ruins finished yesterday while I was farming up enough small bones to upgrade all my gear and got a notification saying I had learned about Natima's Horn(?). Had no idea what that was, so I looked it up and apparently it is an item you can craft which resets...

New patch out... Storage up to 1000 slots. [Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.02.00 | Crimson Desert

Controls are not that bad, but for you they will feel awkward because they are not what you're used too having played so many other games that all share similar control setups. CD just piles on many other skills. That being said, there are some skills which simply fail to fire off due multi-use...

He just wasn't given many lines. Yann and Naira are MUCH more verbose, while Kliff is mostly silent. Really weird, imo.

If you haven't yet, go up there at night and check out the view. Have never seen a view like that in a fantasy setting.

I've never experienced a worse designed fight than this Keglord. Edit: Natures Snare + Stab = easy win. I feel bad.

Remove all those gears except Crow's Pursuit, replace them with Atk, Crit, Atk Spd. Less flashy of course, but way more effective.

Once they are unlocked you have the option of Summoning them to fight with you, or to play as that other character.

Yes, from what I've seen all the armor types are the same within their types, with few exceptions. All the Plate Chest pieces will top out at 41 Defense, All Leather Chest pieces at 32 Def, etc. The Kairos Gloves and Boots are both 1 tier lower than the standard for Def, while the Scorched Plate...

I dunno what the purpose is, I got to a mission where I could use Damaine again and she has a Demeniss disguise, but I get slept right as I get to the door.

Yea, I'm in the same boat. Took a week off at launch, put 100hr into the game, now I'm back at work with a few hours / day to get stuff done, lol.

I've seen several videos showing that route, it just doesn't work. Only possible way for it to work, afaik now, would be: Finishing Ch8, or having enough Demeniss Contribution to buy a Disguise Cloak. I've seen many other people mention they get sleep darted as well.

If that is the Dark Marksman set, how did you get the Chest piece? The place where it is located, at least the one I know of, is inside a castle where I get sleep darted as soon as I step into the tunnel leading to the chest. Made the Kuku Bismuth Spear today as well, but I'm kinda...

Found the recipe for Gold Bars while exploring Spire of Insight. Not that difficult to make, but it seems to require having the Ice imbue unlocked. I also did some Beggars Alliance quests, and that finally unlocked the House Grace quest line..., so not done with Hernand yet (again).

Legendary Beast mounts are very meh. No gear, no skills and slow. My wolf doesn't even fight.

Anyone fought a Queen Stoneback Crab? With a controller. Basically, you need to Cling to its back and do some attacks, but when I'm up there and get the Cling prompt, it wants me to press L-stick, but all that does is use the Axiom Grapple. So as of now, its impossible to defeat it. Edit: Got...

Everyone on the subreddit is raving about how much improved the base PS5 performance is after this latest patch.

So glad I unlocked the Legendary Beasts yesterday. First thing I'll do later is kill White Fang and ride around, no more horse! I think you can take an item from other Legendary Beasts to Elowen and she will give you a contract to summon those Beasts as mounts. Also, White Fang will fight with...

No button mashing for sprinting on horse or for character, less stamina use while flying and moved storage chest to Kliff's tent. Big wins.

Yea, the ??? will be explained after Ch5, you'll begin your journey to meet the Waifu's of Crimson Desert. ;p

I would go to Chapter 5, chill for awhile and explore / work on Witch stuff and finishing as many of the House quest chains in Hernand as you can. Then push to Chapter 9. Then chill for awhile to explore / gear up. Do all the Abyss islands that unlock after you go up Spire of Stars. Go find...
