    I got to play test a corsair before the Heidel Ball and these are my impressions so far

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 11:05 AM PDT

    I gotta say she isn't what I was expecting. She is incredibly fast, mobile and has a bunch of dashes. She can charge into enemies doing a decent amount of damage. She has two separate kicking skills, one can kick enemies with a hitbox that is directly behind her while the other is in front of her, which is kinda neat. Her side-dodge combos into a dash which is really awesome! I tried riding the waves and it didn't work out so well, it turns out she can't really swim which is weird for a pirate class. I don't know what PA was thinking. Her stamina doesn't recover automatically either, I have to consume carrots to keep using skills!? WTF is this?

    Short guide to play NON-STEAM version of BDO with Geforce Now

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 11:28 PM PDT

    1. Launch BDO from the Geforce Now launcher.
    2. When loading finishes, it will prompt you to register an account if you don't have a steam account.
    3. Close that BDO launcher within the Geforce Now window.
    4. Maximize the Steam tab on the bottom of the screen.
    5. Right-click BDO on the left side column and select "properties".
    6. In the text box under "Launch Options" type: %command%aaa
    7. Close the properties window and relaunch BDO in the already opened steam window.
    8. Your BDO will now always prompt you to login like on client.

    Who would use this?

    I guess someone with good internet but a potato PC...

    Some CONs to doing this is that you will most likely have slightly higher ping (+10-30ms depending on where you live) and also will be locked at 60fps.

    Hope this helps :)

    Dear PA, how come we can’t put infinite pot in family storage and share it across all characters?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 09:42 AM PDT

    Since it's only 1 hp/mp pot per family, what disadvantages would it bring to BDO or PA to enable infinite potion to be put into family storage for easy access across all characters???!?!??

    PSA: Hunter seals can be turned in as a daily for Hard crystal shards or Sharp

    Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:53 AM PDT

    As the title states, friend showed me the new tooltip on hunters seals. Apparently it's been in the game for almost a year. I didn't know and there is a significant drought to the hard crystal shard market. Thought it might help someone out.

    Black Desert needs more normalized gear level PvP.

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 01:33 PM PDT

    Building on a smaller discussion that was going on here.

    I've been playing this game in a more casual setting since launch, and over time in PvP I've noticed the gap in gear between newer players and veterans is getting to the point that a new player would have to (ballpark estimate) commit well over 1000 hours of what would basically be tutorial content before actually being ready to play the game in a competitive setting. That's absolutely ridiculous if you want the health of the game's PvP scene to thrive.

    We need to either catch players up from a PvP perspective, or gear capped / assigned PvP such as Tier 1 node wars needs to become more of a focus for the game.

    As it has been clarified to me, there are a lot of more soft spoken players in this game that play for the PvE experience of growing your character, progressing and building up to better areas to grind. With that in mind we can't simply add more and more catch up mechanics to BDO and rush players to end game, as it trivializes the PvE side of the game. Narchillan equipment and Capotia accessories right now provide a good balance. Getting new players in the game quickly and allowing them to build from there, but we unfortunately will ruin BDO's essence of progression if we catch players up to 600+ GS as it will trivialize a core part of BDO - the progression.

    I understand that PvP isn't everything this game has to offer, and PvE has a solid form of progression in it; though not really fulfilling enough on its own in my opinion, yet - we'll see if the new Atoraxxion dungeon can fill that void. PvP still has to be considered though and currently this game's new player experience in regard to PvP is abysmal. As a generalization, the only time I've noticed newer players feel like they're having fun doing PvP (especially open world) is when the Seasonal Arsha server is open, or the very rare occasion that their guild fights another evenly matched guild.


    I propose that we open PvP on Olvia channels, and on Olvia and Velia channels when players are in PvP (none of this would apply in PvE), one of two things will happen (please note these restrictions would not apply outside of the Olvia and Velia channels):

    1. The first option is to assign the T1 Medium node war caps (230AP, 270DP, 9% damage reduction rate) to open world / all forms of PvP in Olvia and Velia channels at all times. This option is the easiest, it reuses existing code and would be simplest to implement. This allows characters to be PvP ready as soon as they have Narchillan gear, so at the end of the Mediah main story questline (provided their levels and skillpoints are good enough). But to be frank, the T1 caps don't apply correctly in all situations as is and honestly are in need of a rework as some builds can abuse some stats that aren't quite capped the way they should be. This would be the best way to quickly implement this though.
    2. Assign the stats provided by the most recent trial character equipment (Arsha's Chest II) to characters in PvP, and ignore all of the player's equipment stats otherwise in Olvia and Velia channels. This would be my preferred method, as this would better prepare players for real world scenarios of PvP and prevent people from running weird builds to circumvent the caps. It uses real stats instead of arbitrary caps, and applies evenly to all classes whereas in some cases T1 caps favor specific classes and prevents some class passives from providing their effects.

    The stats that are provided by Arsha's Chest II trial equipment on a character that is level 60 and has all the journals completed (except Barrier of Infestation, and I made a couple estimations because I haven't completed some of the minor journals on the character I used for reference) are as follows:

    Sheet stats:

    • 277(+148) AP.
    • 277(+148) Awakening AP.
    • 370 Accuracy.
    • 160(+351) Evasion.
    • 206(+110) Damage Reduction
    • 22% Damage Reduction Rate

    Hidden/Off-Sheet Stats:

    • 30% Special Attack Evasion Rate.
    • 29 All Species Damage
    • +5 Critical Hit Level (the Character [P] menu stat that affects critical hit chance up to 20%)
    • 5% Critical Hit Damage
    • 20% Ignore all Resistance
    • 10% All Resistance
    • 10 All AP

    Stats provided by Arsha's Chest II gear that can't be capped due to not being able to apply them to only PvP:

    • 1350 Max HP (since max HP applies to PvE as well it might not be feasible to assign this value, could use it to build a damage model for PvP on these channels and then deal % based damage to the recipient of an attack based on how much HP they would have lost if their maximum was base stats + passives + 1350).
    • 650 Stamina
    • 10 HP Recovery
    • +5 Attack Speed Level
    • +5 Movement Speed Level

    These channels would be labeled as beginner friendly on the channel selection UI, with a tooltip description stating that stats from equipment are normalized in PvP when you highlight over the channel.

    I'm also requesting that using one of these two methods to normalize gear, one of the Velia channels becomes a gear capped / assigned Arsha channel, with less drop rate bonus (20% instead of 50%). That way people who want to play the capped channels exclusively for evenly matched PvP have a place to do so at all times without being restricted by the karma system.
