Those patch notes checked a lot of boxes for me lol. The indestructible brazier one was funny, because I was having trouble seeing if the arrow caught fire, and destroyed both braziers (there was a 3rd luckily).

"Lowered the difficulty of the ambush encounters triggered while heading toward the *spoiler* boss stage." Yeah I just did that pre-patch today. Holy hell that was a thing. I finally stopped fighting and just trained everything up top. Crazy difficulty.

I’m chasing that guy now (Well after I restock food from the crazy ass ape) and I took a 7 hour hiatus building my base out and gathering all my buds. 😀

Oh also. When you finish a challenge you have to open the locked abyss box out of your inventory to get the abyss fragment. Guess who had 10 of those thinking that was automatic …

Thank God for storage being added. 👍👍

well an hour went by in a flash. If that is 'fixed' controls I'd hate to see what the jank ones are. My 7900XTX seems to be handling it well. Fun times. Back at it again tomorrow.

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 that are not rendered properly (super low res) makes the game look ugly.

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 Reconstruction"

Is the fix for my issue with running RR + Echo.

Nice, really good changes that go after exactly the issues I have.

  • [General] Improved the response speed of the interaction UI.
  • [General] Improved the responsiveness of jump inputs.
  • [General] Fixed aiming to target the center of the screen when using a Lantern or while unarmed.
  • [Keyboard/Mouse] Improved the responsiveness of character movement controls.

also lol

Got myself a "Loafy Cat" pet by following this video. Absolutely adorable.

Hard to choose between him and my droopy eared bulldog, though. Luckily you can just swap them in and out on the fly. I'm honestly having a nice relaxing time just taking my pets with me while I go logging. I chop and they pick up the mats. Lovely game.

Also, the music in this is quite good. Certainly not Jeremy Soule level, but I'm loving it. I actually turned down everything other than the music a bit to hear it better. The base volume was just a bit too low.

No changes to the control setup, afaik, but the menus are snappier to open.

Daidraco 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 Gears I got from opening hidden chests up there into the Camp Provision storage, rather than my own private storage, lol.

I checked out some of the changes.

Auto-Discovery is awesome but some things I learned (And tested)

1) If on a horse, you will not auto discover the mining spots. Only when on foot. More than likely a bug as it works for fires and such.
2) Storage. Glad such a common feature is in.
3) Nvidia Reflex is now available for controllers. I have not tested fishing on wireless yet without the trick I mentioned above.

One thing I noticed and was more seeing if it would work or not. For missions I saw I needed to get more resources again (my Camp is level 2 now) and it was a mission called Warspike Spearmaster. It was blocked currently because it was occupied by bandits so I saw I could send over my comrades to free it but would take a while - so i went over there myself, claimed it, got a treasure chest too and a puzzle for an Abyss piece. Awesome thing is when I went back to camp I could run the normal mission since I took it over myself. That is so cool. SO if you have bandit occupied mission areas, mark it on your map and go kill everything in sight - you get good rewards and save a TON of time.

Not sure if posted before, but current controller mapping for all skills.

Now while initial impression is "wtf", it is clear that some skills replace / go on top of others. So probably doable to get used to it. Though I can absolutely understand the one review/preview that said that while you are playing this, don't play any other games. Because it is its own muscle memory, not compatible with other games in the genre.

PS: Was watching someone stream it, and in the span of 30 ish minutes they explored and found two real cool places. Not marked, just on the way to another place. Exploring looked so fun. So bought the game again, even though my initial refund isn't in yet. I felt spoiled when watching the stream, and I just want to do it myself. Only other game I have on the horizon is the final episode of The Long Dark. I've held off on that for 10 years? since the first episode. Final episode of Winterdark comes out on March 31st. I will eventually probably get Pragmata, but not at launch.

I did a side quest and killed a boss and after, started looking around the castle and found a small nook I crawled into by chance and found a sweet cloak. I might be the only one to have found this thing. 😀

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 all lvl4 gear, used a lot of the normal pills.

Is the combat in this game any decent? And by "decent" I mean Elden Ring / Dark Souls level. Or is it mostly just running around climbing cliffs?
