Apparently there will be an Alpha test soon and you can signup to get a key on their website in the near future. http://black-desert.com/news/announcing-the-european-and-north-american-alpha-test/
Yeah. I am waiting for that. Probably going to roll a Valk or Warrior. I like the idea of sword and shield.
I keep hearing bad things from the Korean side of the house on the game. Some EU people I know that have gotten ahold of the game illegally stated that the reason that KR can't stand the game is because they are making it very westernized from the get go. Because they feel that the US/EU markets are just ripe for the tapping at this point. Because the lack of a solid MMO besides obviously WoW. They also are doing hard analysis of how AA went down because their game is near the same when it comes to terms of gameplay style. TLR, I'm expecting the game to lose traction in KR, but gain a ton of traction in the Western World. Still waiting to see more and get more feedback from those that are playing with it. Also, Nice name and Nightshade guessing you was a Hib? DT
Thanks, yeah I was a Hib. The main thing I don't like so far is how easy it is to kill the mobs. Just going to pray for getting into Alpha and Beta tests to see if I like it.
I play on the korean servers and it is just insanely easy to kill mobs and level up. Honestly not liking where the game has been going so far. They also just announced that the game is going to be buy to play with a cash shop.
Yea that is what I keep hearing from KR, but the EU guys say its because the point of the game isn't leveling. Its farming/marking/pirating and so on. The grind is just something you do to get to the point where you can mess people up. Why i said I thought it sounded more western. Cause I personally can't stand the grind I just want to go PVPing.
Yeah b2p like gw2 is perfect also fast lvl is perfect as well the important thing is to have good PvP and economy
Eh. I think I am going to focus my attention on Blade & Soul, GW2, and other games (Crowfall/CU) instead of this game. Didn't even do very well in Korea.
Two good vids for the game, some very interesting concepts, especially automation And Part 2 : Part 3 :
Looking forward to trying this one still. Ive been looking up a ton of stuff on BD lately and it really seems to be ramping up. Problem is a lot of the game is half-arsed and kinda weird. This time around I'm going to try and get in with a guild early and be in from the get-go. My beginnings in AA were rough and difficult and frustrating until I joined XoO. XD
