Heard the hype, and got the pre-order. So for the last 4 days, I've been playing Black Desert. It's okay. Very shinny graphics, sort of like FFXIV.
The character creation is pretty nice, but the options are limited. Sort of like FFXIV graphics, but with some facial options CoH had, and then some.
Combat is rather dynamic, with use of combos. For the berserker I made, I'm constantly moving around. I even got a new keyboard and mouse for macroing. Plan to try it in WoW too.
I wasn't able to get a horse, so I'm running from place to place. Something I know difoj loves. So Travel is boring if you don't have an animal transport. Even then, you need higher tier ones to move fast.
There are a few things (Contributions, Trade, Gathering, Housing, Knowledge, Inventory, Conversations ) that are a bit interesting, but haven't fully understood. Some things like Cooking and Processing I haven't even started.
Certain tasks are mini-games - like fishing. Instead of casting and reeling in, you have 3 attempts to hit the space bar as a bar goes back and forth. Hit the space bar at the right time you catch a fish. Then you have to type letters quickly to reeling in the fish. Any wrong moves, and you lose the fish.
There are no personal instances, other than housing, so it's a free for all. Once you hit Level 50, you become PvP enabled. PvP is sort of the end game. After 4 days, people are already Level 50, and Guilds are declaring war on each other. Guilds are working on controlling areas, so there will be Guild wars over trade routes and land.
There are no penalties for dying in the game, which makes PvP a little more acceptable (unless you are targeted). Just you respawn at the nearest town or node (that you placed a contribution in).
I've only reached Level 19 with limited playing time.
If any one plans on trying it, I am on the UNO server (North America), Calpheon U1.
My main in named - Grimmsun. Family name is Eye.
If anyone has any questions about the game, let me know.
