Check these 2 video's and you will see what i mean, espescially the lower one  (number 2 in the series) shows the knowledge system, which i really like...

I dont know if i will like creating my own crafting emperium... which is what the Nodes system is all about...  probably not, to much micromanagement for me, but i think it will be possible to succeed at this game witouth it.

    Did you watch and understand those videos before posting that crap...

    there is no reason to ever buy something in that shop, its just fluff...  Equall or better stuff is available in the game...

    Don't waste your time Lord, you as well as I know if folks are angered over a cashshop, they're not going to look at the game as having any kind of merit. That's the way it has always been.

    LOL, how quickly the pitch forks have come out... people don't even bother playing the game anymore... they just start ranting about them as soon as they go live!  Then you have the pre-pre-pre ranters that started before it even went live!

    Used to be, people were looking to have some fun... fleeting or not... now it's all about bashing a game to see if you can get it to crash and burn the soonest.

    Honestly, if you are so worried about cash shops and the like without even bothering to give the game a real go of it, you're not interested in gaming, period.

    You will never find a game that you will like, period.

    And if that past game is so damn hot, why the hell are you even playing anything else?

    Reality check my friend... you are your own self-fulfilling prophecy.

    And no, not directed at anyone in particular... just those who seem it's their life's work to help others to help themselves see the world through their glasses.  Not everyone needs a babysitter... selling it to us door to door doesn't make us a bible thumper... it just annoys people.

    Imagine there is people that think every game should be AAA quallity, free to play witouth a cash shop..  They seem to be a large majorrity these days...  Imagine how i chuckled the day i found out that these are the same people ruining my games because they buy gold from chineese sweatshops..

    i blame those people, for killing the very honest subscription based MMO.. No cash shop, just pay the box and a monthly subscription and work hard for your gear..

    Seems perfectly fair since companies dont even bother releasing a finished game before taking money for it...

    The knowledge system is pretty cool. I've been messing around with it for the past couple of days. It's not like Vanguard's diplomacy but that's what it most reminds me of.

    But many other things about the game I find awkward and annoying:

    • Quests and stories are uninteresting, contrived and don't engage me at all.
    • The beauty and graphical fidelity of the game is spoiled by way too many icons and special effects everywhere... even more so the over-the-top effects when you're fighting that often keep you from even seeing what you're fighting.
    • The keyboard contortions required for combat are also overdone and seem unnecessarily complex
    • The mobs are incredibly easy-- even the boss summons that recommend "co-op" are trivially easy for solo as long as you keep dodging and then pound on the boss when he gets tired and sits down (lol) to rest.

    But yeah, the knowledge system is cool.

    I dont see anything that gives an advantage in combat and you can get items like these from playing the game.
  • KajidourdenKajidourden Member EpicPosts: 3,030
    It offers 0 challenge, that's the whole problem.  For a solo-centric PvE game I would suggest ESO instead.  Even if you never run a dungeon or do an endgame dungeon at the end you've played through an elder scrolls game :)

    Thanx Lord - I couldn't figure out how to get the rewards (quests, buffs, etc) last night when I was messing around with knowledge - there again I was over tired from getting up early to play before work.  So now I'll see what the rewards are from the conversations I've had with my non combat character in the first town.

    Go out at 22:00 when the mobs go super aggressive (seems everything does) and the attacks hit really hard. Try night hunting if you want bad ass mobs and big experience.

    In game time, when it happens there is a red server announcement that goes out.

    Thanks didn't know that.

    Also... macroed a couple of abilities (like S+E or S+F) and I'm enjoying the combat a bit more... it's sort of growing on me lol.

    I really disliked the game(beta) .. i don't really know why everyone says it has amazing graphic etc , it felt so clunky and really poorly designed .. like a really bad version of devil may cry.
    I really wanted to stick to the early story and see if there was any ... no , there isn't one.
    The voice acting is probably one of worst i have ever heard .. ever!
    I will be honest , i spent at best 1 hour in the game because i was honestly having the urge to altf4 already.. and yeh , the combat is ok BUT nothing out of the ordinary ... i guess it's just not my type of game!

    Basically it's from 22:00 to 0:700 game time. You can see the game time at the top of minimap or in the main map with a symbol of the sun or the moon advancing through an arc.

    BDO is growing on me. Tnx for the videos op, but I'm still trying to figure out...should I care about this aspect of the game, and if I don't, what's the alternative?

    It's deeper than that.  There is a good chunk of this site's population that hate anything that comes out of Asia.  The cash shop is simply the most convenient target.

    Edditing can totally change what the game looks like..

    Not just graphics, but also interface but also how the game plays...  
    There is a lot to edit..
