Outfits didn't get more expensive, it has to do with the Event Cart system.
"Right now, you will see on the Outfits tab a different purchase price which has been placed due to technical limitations.
This is necessary to make sure the final price of the Event Card bundle items are correctly calculated and the proper discounts are applied.
For example, if you had selected a Premium Set of 3,400 Pearls as starting price, it would be marked down to 2,516 Pearls which is an incorrect calculation.
Please keep in mind that the prices on the outfits will only be shown during the event period of 4/18 After Maintenance to 5/2 Before Maintenance.
After the Event Cart promotion is over, the prices of the outfits will be displayed in the way before this promotion."
Yes the gameplay is fantastic. The combat is the most enjoyable combat I have ever experienced in an MMO. The combat is action based and uses a combo system. There are tons of systems involved in the game. I think the best way I have heard it put is that the game is like The Witcher MMO. You can spend days just talking with people around town. You could also just power grind mobs to max level and fight boss mobs (raid bosses) or GVG, PVP. The game has some faults but overall I really enjoy it. (playing on KR servers)
[edit] wow massive downvotes for liking a game..... k thx reddit
[edit] Update for those who are interested. A Standalone version of the Character Creator is available. Feel free to check it out!! Just release today!!
Meme is funny ok, but you realize letting BDO without a good competitor will only enable PA/Kakao to sell even more senseless P2W shit on the pearl shop without actually pushing them to make the game better because of the lack of any need to preventing player base migration?
I can immagine the scene at their board meeting:
CEO: Guys we must do something to counter this new game our player base might be migrating to, what can we do?
BOARD MEMBER.1: Listen more to their feedback, make a PTR for PVP changes, address the server issues.
BOARD MEMBER.2: QoL changes, give them a way to craft pets and and an in-game way to reset horse skills.
BOARD MEMBER.3: Reward old players as much as we are incentivating new ones, we could increase Loyalty intrinsic value and make all the Pearl Shop items available for Loyalty as an option.
CEO: Hey guys but these are really marvellous ideas! I can't fathom why I never had them myself before ... But wait, wait, wait ... we might not need all that at the moment, the other game failed at launch! *trollface*
Just archive all your ideas in the emergency drawer and just sell our dear and loyal player base another tent, but with the due amount of RNG built into it this time, I don't know can we make the tents breed into RNG tiers? Add wings or fluffy ears to higher tiers to make the shit plausible so they bait better. And no coupons until Christmas!! Gotta go guys, a girl fell off the yacht and she's not even wearing a shark costume lol...
BOARD MEMBERS: *chuckles in Korean*
CEO: Next time, the board meeting is adjourned.
EDIT 30/05/2018: It wasn't a tent it was moar RNG pet boxes!
In the time it took you to come to reddit, click new post, type details in, then click post... You could have just gone to www.blackdesertonline.com and click the news post that tells you. It's right there on the front page.
The Devs decided that it would be a great idea to nerf every class in the game simultaneously multiple weeks in a row while managing to piss off more and more people.
I'll recommend you making a trial account for free. Lvl it to 50 lvl and you will get starter pack for free.
After that just buy 50 $ worth of pearls and you will get explorer package for free (maximal, which costs 50$).
So for just 50 $ you will get 5000 pearls (ingame currency) and free explorer package.
Another way Daum has cheated preorder/package buyers was misrepresenting what they were getting with other items, see the list:
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/shop/GamePass.html
5 house decorations, 2 are BOUND to the house, wallpaper and flooring are one time use.
Horse flute says NOTHING about BOUND to one character, but it is.
I really regret paying $50 to preorder the game because none of it was worth it.
This infograph was made using the data on the NA Nodewar Report with the permission of its owners. We used the data from 3.3.18 - 3.3.19. Our intention was to accurately highlight more stats than the original official ingraph show cased.
Another interesting note that I was not able to include was the correlation between - tier size : attendance size : total fort count. Essentially, the lower the tier the higher the average fort count went. Also, the lower the attendance size the higher the average fort count increased. In this way the average T4 100 man node was around 2 forts; whereas T1 30 mans averaged around 5 forts. With the recent changes to T1s (gear caps added) my prediction is that T2 25-45 mans will offer the highest fort count nodes.
Good work to the NA community, congrats on all of your accomplishments!

Event Cart function has been added to Pearl Shop.
Now you can choose your own outfits in a bundle and enjoy the special discount.
Note, the special Event Cart helps you to choose outfits of your choice in a bundle and receive a set discount. There are total of 3 different discounts you can get: Outfit Set, Classic Set, and Premium Set discounts.
2500 Pearls > 2200 Pearls (-12% Standard Discount)
3700 Pearls > 2900 Pearls (-21.6% Additional Discount)
4600 Pearls > 3400 Pearls (-26% Additional Discount)
Right now, you will see on the Outfits tab a different purchase price which has been placed due to technical limitations.
This is necessary to make sure the final price of the Event Card bundle items are correctly calculated and the proper discounts are applied.
For example, if you had selected a Premium Set of 3,400 Pearls as starting price, it would be marked down to 2,516 Pearls which is an incorrect calculation.
Please keep in mind that the prices on the outfits will only be shown during the event period of 4/18 After Maintenance to 5/2 Before Maintenance.
After the Event Cart promotion is over, the prices of the outfits will be displayed in the way before this promotion.
There is a 7 day free trial you can do to see if it is for you. I enjoy my time with it immensely.
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/tryforfree
The negatives are just that there is a bit of a learning curve for the equipment upgrade system, and that leveling up is based on "grinding", but in my opinion they handled it well and the combat system makes it very engaging. It is streamed regularly on Twitch, with summit1g recently getting pretty heavy into it.
There are also people on Steam that complained about the anti-cheat system that the client uses, calling it invasive...but I never have an issue with it.
Give the trial a shot. If you like it the game is like $10 with no monthly sub.
Hi there,
All rewards have been given out, however it seems that a lot of players did not actually complete the event as they did not mark off the traces in their adventure journal. As you can see on <strong>our event page</strong> the final step is to collect your rewards by completing the Adventure Log.
Best regards, GM Dew
The new years dev letter mentioned the addition of "heroes of the battlefield" aka you can enlist as a mercenary for guilds in node-wars without having to leave your current guild.
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/2221
Siege guilds will most likely merc out their help.strongest members as payment/good will for lower tier nodes.
This nerf is strictly for people who RMT multiple sea monster hunting funds a week.
You're quoting year old information from blackdesertfoundry lmao. In our version combat exp buffs do affect the amount you get(although not for skill exp): https://imgur.com/a/sLVZpHy from https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/1686
If you go to https://www.blackdesertonline.com there will be 7-day trial, you can upgrade the trial to full game and save the progress.
I wouldn't try to convince anyone to playing BDO in any other way by simply recommending trying it out. Combat system in BDO is something that cannot be described in words and more reminds me of a arcade fighting game than MMO.

I need to see the exclusive costume first to decide which package I want.
/u/CM_Oli I call on thee.
EDIT: Oh wait, is it the porcupine armor? pass.............
EDIT2: Okay after watching this, I remembered the original porcupine warrior armor was in the same line as all the other launch costumes. So to clarify, is the exclusive armor the porcupine one for all classes, or is it the launch costume for each (basically the first costume in character create)?
I need to knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... tons of regret for not getting the limited OG sorc costume in KR :(
EDIT3: GG it's the porcupine armor set :'(

I've read it, and although I'm no lawyer, I don't see anything about an immediate termination of my account, unless I've broken TOS. Which I have not.
And now they are changing the website.... after the damage is already done:

Notice the March 3rd box was added
If you go to the main page https://www.blackdesertonline.com/ first thing you will see is that "Headstart is now live!" Me for example have read a few things a while ago about the game, lost it somewhere in the back of my thoughts, and just saw it yesterday that people were playing it on twitch, so i go to the page see the banner mentioned above. So next step for many is to click on the "Order Now" button, her it does not state rather you get a headstart or not, true, but any other game released prior this has given you head start if you actually bought it prior the actuall release. What has always been considered "Preorder". Bought the explore's package, since it seemed more attractive to me at the point, i didn't even know that they had different stages of release until i opened the launcher, because i thought "Headstart is now live, count me in!". I saw there then that it was releasing Headstart in stages, Explore's Package gets to play on the first, little dissapointed at that point already, now today cruising reddit I see that there are allkind of posts that mention this problem now... Now explain how there is something wrong with what i did, on neither of the pages that i clicked on was anything described that i had to preorder the preorder before the 26th otherwise i would be sh*t out of luck. Can i wait till the 3rd, sure. Does it crush your hype, yes... yes it does.
It does not matter how you paid, it does not matter how much you paid, it matters WHEN you made the transaction.
Under European law you have the right to cancel and return your order within 14 days, for any reason and with no justification, source: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees-returns/index_en.htm
Even if you are in NA Kakao needs to honor this because they operate in the European Union, "Kakao Games Europe B.V. is a Dutch company registered with the Dutch Trade register under n° 62780476, having its registered office at Handelsweg 59J 4th Floor, 1181 ZA Amstelveen, Netherlands." source: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/account/AboutUs.html
If you made a transaction for 1000$ year ago, and now you want your money back because the service you purchased has been different, then I guess you are just naive for putting 1000$ into a service that might change.

They should roll back any profit made by this, destroy items or decrease enchantment levels take silver away or whatever. Might aswell ban those people right away as i fully expect them to leave the game if their "progress" will be rolled back
The first thing beyond the navbar at www.blackdesertonline.com is a giant scrolling news feed that includes a link to "DO NOT MISS THE KEY DATES!" and it explicitly lists the date and time that pre-orders close.
The same link is also provided in the "Latest News" section directly under that feed. It was posted 10 days ago. Could it have been posted sooner? Yes, sure, it would have been nice. But, even in the image you linked (which you have to dig harder to find than just going to the main page of the BDO website) says that the exact date would be announced soon. They announced it.
If you do not complete the account transfer, you indeed lose your entire old account including the game ownership, so you would need to re-purchase the game in that case. The deadline to transfer your account is today at 23:59 UTC!

> - Heroes of the Battlefield
Heroes of the Battlefield will be a new system replacing the existing Militia system.
In the current system, when Adventurers become stronger, it becomes necessary for them to move to a stronger guild or a guild that participates in more wars to experience a bigger battle scene.
Heroes of the Battlefield is a system where Adventurers can still be a part of the guild they are in but participate in Node War or Conquest War as a mercenary.
As long as the guild participating in the Node / Conquest War doesn’t exceed the maximum number of participants, they are able to recruit Heroes of the Battlefield as temporary mercenaries.
Adventurers can apply to specific guilds and the guild master of the guild can accept the Heroes of the Battlefield by paying a contract fee.
Once the Adventurer joins the guild, they can participate in any of the wars the new guild engages in. Their contract will end at midnight and they will be returned to their original guild after receiving payment.
This can benefit both the guilds and Adventurers since guilds can always maintain maximum war participants by recruiting mercenaries to replace members who cannot attend, and Adventurers can participate in wars anytime without having to leave their guild. Furthermore, Adventurers can achieve honor by having their family name by getting ranked for the Heroes of the Battlefield.

If you get hit by 2 or more 'points' of CC, you get CC immunity.

please inform yourself before saying anything.
You'd be surprised how many people will be willing to gift you the game, as there are perks that you receive for gifting the game once the receivee has reached level 30. You can see them here on the bottom right https://www.blackdesertonline.com/shop/GamePass.html
For the record, I never said anything about lied. Not sure how that was construed.
From the testing I have done and a lot of others via MaoMao Discord, it looks like the Trout wasn't actually added to any fish table in-game since the last patch with the relevant patch note:
> You can now catch Trouts along the coast of Balenos via Fishing.
It looks like it just wasn't implemented as intended. But their is no official word on if intended, in-game just not found or not added yet.
I made a ticket (others should do also to raise the profile of the issue) and will post when I get some more informed response. Their initial response was fast and said it had been passed up to the Bug team.
FYI The exact same patch note was included in the KR 9 December 2017 Patch Note, so it may have just been included in ours but not enabled yet.
> You can now get Trout from the coast of Balenos.
The main thing is that, after 18 months they appear to have finally got to fixing this anomaly and adding one of the few missing fish species back to the game for use to catch and gain the knowledge/ titles if players don;t have it from prior to the big fish change in June 2016.
Amazingly, they don't. I had a look: have a look at section 12. OP's still out of luck, since the company's not obligated to prove a violation of the TOS to any particular standard, and I doubt OP's going to go to the expense of suing in an appropriate jurisdiction.
use the 7 day free trial to see if you have connection issues or not. it has been a problem for a lot of people although I have been fine.

there are a lot of different game mechanics that you may or may not care to partake in BDO
people don't like him but watch Lazy Peon youtube videos about BDO
keep in mind that he is not always 100% correct about some things, but it is a starting point on getting a general explanation about BDO
Does this violate TOS 11.1.(iii) does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights, trademarks, patents, personality rights (including the right to one’s image)
It seems to me like it does.
Umm.. no it doesn't. It used to, but it does not call itself a Sandbox anymore.

Where does it say it's a Sandbox there? Show me your sources if there are several of them.

Many thanks to u/Writemare for the heads up.
my advice is to ignore anyone saying it's pay to win or that there's anything you have to buy, because both are untrue
far too many people conflate the existence of a cash shop with "pay to win"
but I suggest rushing the event quests here since they give a lot of free stuff: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/3384 (scroll down)
also you get a free 7 day trial just for making an account, though I assume that doesn't apply to steam
They posted the roadmap for the 2nd Quartal of the year https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/2616 , in there you can see they included manos gear in that roadmap, the 2nd Qurtal ends on the 30th june, I fail to see how that is nto "promising manos gear in June".

Also, you can buy it from the official website, but it can't be activated on Steam.
IMO buy the second one if you can. You get a pet (8-10€ value) and a few useful items.
Btw. rookie / returning players now get a free pet on their second day of login.
It was said twice by them. Once in the dev diary we got a week back or so as well as once today in our actual patch notes that a skill won't be having both a defensive mechanism and CC. They touched only defenses this patch and not cc's. Wizards got plenty of skills that still got SA that also currently got CC's. I did a bit of 2+2 and "speculated" that the answer is 4.
Edit: I realized that you actually asked for source
Yes, they've been more transparent regarding how some hidden features, well... not work, but exsist.
Node Level increases drop rate/chance by 5%*NL, 10% of the time - and if they're not BSing, that 10% means that it's applied once for every 10 monsters killed.
And, ofc, that's a multiplicative +% chance, not additive.
I am guessing it would be from : https://www.blackdesertonline.com/ And that you would play on NA (North American) servers.
But, some countries are restricted from downloading/buy the game in EU/NA.
Sorry, that is the best I can do for you.

>I remember the open beta days. At that time, I remember working hard to get myself a noble wagon and doing only trade all day long.

That's what they said during the Calphe:ON ball. https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/4858
Though as you might notice that's mostly about wagon trading. If there is anything about trading overall e.g. mastery then I do not know, sorry.

They tried that and people got SUUUPER pissy about it. There was a short season where you needed to win nodes in succession (tier 1 > tier 2 > tier 3 > up to siege) and if you owned a higher tier node you couldn't do a lower tier one. This meant only a few guilds would be able to participate in siege but it also meant if you got a T2 or T3 you couldn't node war at all basically which people hated and got it changed. If I'm remembering correctly, someone feel free to correct me.
​
What's funny is they are currently [working on territory war]( https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/2221 ) which is even larger than siege.
after the event ends on wednesday, depending on your results of correct choices, you will get rewards.
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/2522
click see results at the top.
It actually said killing doubles chances: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/1428
>Reward loot will be obtainable for world bosses even when these world bosses despawn naturally.
>However, only the adventurers who have inflicted a certain amount of damage will be able to obtain the items.
>Chance to obtain rare loot items for defeating world bosses (not when they are naturally despawned) has doubled.
>For every Node level raised via investing Energy, Item Drop Rate will be increased by 5% for 10% of the monsters you defeat.
>
>For example, if the Node level is 10, you will have a 50% higher Item Drop Rate from 10% of the monsters you defeat.
>
>By 10% of the monsters you defeat, we mean that if you defeat 10 monsters, the higher drop rate will be applied to one of the monsters.
>
>This will not affect Party drop items and junk items that always drop from monsters with 100% rate.

"This is false. First part of the "gearscore bonus" increases your attack stats (AP), but also second part buffs defense stats (DP). Because all players will have their Attack power and Defense power increased the PVP balance will not change. Gearscore bonuses are linear, gear progression is exponential - so weaker players will gain higher benefit for less effort."
This is incorrect. The higher your gear, the more damage you do.
You can check the values here:
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/1266
From 250 AP to 270 you get 80! extra AP.
As you said it's exponential, which means THE LESS GEAR YOU HAVE THE WORSE IT IS
This is what a 570 GS person can do vs 400-450 GS people.

The patch is absolutely horrible.
The "MixAndMatch" is a predatory tactic because new players see it as a "SALE", as it is advertised in the cash shop.
Also very important to note that you cannot MixAndMatch Outfits which right now are more expensive than before.
You can see a lot of streamers and threads on reddit and forums which are very unhappy with the PVP changes.
The no more one shot mechanic is ok. The perma stiff/no more combos one is shit.
Patch notes comes up after the servers are up again. Usually it takes a little longer.
You should be able to see the patch notes here when they're up https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/list/
and the 16 GB patch, it seems like the patches with the Steamclient tend to be bigger, no idea why.
Aside from it being free-to-play, what are you looking for in a game? Do you prefer PvE or PvP? Do you like raiding? So on and so forth. These things would be good for us to know so that we can recommend accordingly. That said, while Guild Wars 2 is f2p now, you'll be restricted in various ways (this list has not yet been updated to reflect the release of the Path of Fire expansion). You'll have to purchase the expansions to get the most out of the game. Black Desert Online offers a free 7-day trial. You'll have to buy the game on the BDO site, or on Steam, to continue past that.
I mainly PVE, there's a lot to do with PVE because there's a bunch of mechanics related to PVE aside from crafting and killing mobs such as managing workers, gardens, trade routes.
Also, PK isn't really prevalent until you're fairly deep into the game and even then you can tell which zones are susceptible to PKing - the very popular grinding zones. PK'ing also has a "karma" system which can negatively affect players.
For $6, I think its worth a punt if you don't mind endless grinding, lack of appearance changes without cash shop item (can be bought through the auction house if a player sells it) and RNG for upgrading gear. The battle system is fantastic.
Edit: It looks like you can play on a free trial if you don't want to commit the $6 by going to their site: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/
On the Black Friday Sale page, there's an image of a Bloody Costume which was also limited to the Halloween season. I'm assuming this means you might have the chance to purchase limited time costumes during this sale.
I don't expect something completely fair and balanced, the red battlefield could probably use a tune-up for the worst geared players not to be so completely useless admittedly (I'm sitting at about 300 combined and there are people on my team of the same class doing half my damage). And if you read my point, it's that the RNG is too much of a factor compared to time spent playing. With how big of a difference gear makes, it seems too random. Korea already has some ways to mitigate this that we don't, so obviously someone there thought there was a problem as well.
Also the game does sell itself as being skill based. Skill based combat is the first thing the website describes for the game. https://www.blackdesertonline.com/game/
I know when I ordered the page as totally different..
https://web.archive.org/web/20160205060632/https://www.blackdesertonline.com/preorder/
The pre-order bonuses where the only reason I purchased when I did.. or I would of just gotten the base version.
48H head start
2 Additional Character Slots
Head start for Explorer’s package holders starts the 1st of March, 08:00 UTC.
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/64
This is the latest news post on their website. Please point out where it says anything about Explorers pack purchased after the 26th dont get access untill the 3rd.
Also this is on their website right now. https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/64
Listed as "Black Desert Online important pre-launch info" rather than "Do not miss the key dates" thats 9 days older.
just gonna paste this response from a similar post pre-order page https://www.blackdesertonline.com/preorder/ (was edited on the 26th) key-dates post - https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/58 they had the info out there, but is your choice to ask for a refund. but they should have named the launch packages differently
7 total "There will be 4 character slots from the start.If you decide to buy the pre-order packages, you will get additional character slots depending on the tier you purchase" SOURCE So 4+3 for Conq pack
They never updated the main page with all the classes. The ones in the character creator are what we're getting on launch. They are all listed under "Classes" here too: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/events/ccm/
Black Desert Online is what you're looking for. Glad someone mentioned it! I'm super hyped for it.
It's an MMORPG coming to NA/EU early 2016. It's very impressive and stands out very much from other MMO's. I hope this games becomes a hit.
(For the question) >I mean you create your own character and has nothing to do with characters from the show.
I'm 100% sure this is the game you are looking for. It has high character customization, impressive combat mechanics, and an open world that definitely feel like Sword Art.
I'm currently finishing up Sword Art Online myself (that's why im on this sub) and a few weeks ago was introduced to this game. It's buy to play (so no subscription) which is a plus in my book.
From all the gameplay that I've seen from the Korean version that's out, at this time, I recommend checking it out since its probably as close to Sword Art Online without directly referencing the show.
I hope this helps! This topic was interesting and just wanted people to know about Black Desert Online. Cheers!
Yes, you can. Go to https://www.blackdesertonline.com/twitch press big login button in middle of screen. Then chose option to login on steam. Then you link to your twitch using button in middle. Then you watch streams for 10h. Then you claims rewards on twitch. Then you claim them in game using redeem. And if you registered account on bdo page then you probably linked your twitch to PA account which steam players don't even need.
In addition to what that guy said, which seems like everything to me, there is currently an event going on for a decent weapon set right now, that is easier to enhance and you can sell for a good profit later https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/1973
After Nov 28, 2018 maintenance it'll be gone though.
Remastered and Ultra is replacing it, read patch notes.
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/1686
- In preparation of Remastering of Black Desert Online, High-End Mode (Beta) under settings will not be available.
No there not since the cc changes.
https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/1266
I believe sorc is bugged with 100% down smashes. The downsmash system was originally set to 50% activation with unlimited count. This allowed mobs to effectively endlessly cc ppl while grinding. They then nerfed it to 30% across the board to all classes. I suspected Sorc to be bugged for awhile now.
Based on this: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/mos?lang=EN
It seems you get rewards after each stage completed, essences. So yeah you get that. If someone that has completed this would chime in that be great.
I don't see a ban for any reason clause. I see termination for cause stuff and specific rules for who can ban who for what.
Only thing that comes close is that they can shut off their servers for any reason.

Patch Notes - 18th April 2018 [Updated]
[Pearl Shop]
Browsing through and checking out the Outfit and Costume items in Pearl Shop will be done quicker now.
Event Cart function has been added to Pearl Shop.
Now you can choose your own individual parts of outfits in a bundle and enjoy the special discounts.
The Special Event Cart helps you put together single parts of different outfits to create your own individual look at a discounted price.
The new prices you see displayed (4600 pearls for example) are the total amount of pearls you would spend if you purchased every single item of a Premium Outfit Set individually. With the Event Cart you can now combine the look of two or more Premium Outfits and get them for the same price as the Premium Outfit Set.
The same goes for Outfit Sets and Classic Sets as well as .
- 2500 Pearls (the total of every individual Item in a Outfit set) > 2200 Pearls (-12% Discount for individual purchases)
- 3700 Pearls (the total of every individual Item in a Classic set) > 2900 Pearls (-21.6% Discount for individual purchases)
- 4600 Pearls (the total of every individual Item in a Premium Outfit set) > 3400 Pearls (-26% Discount for individual purchases)
Please keep in mind that the prices on the outfits will only be shown during the event period of 4/18 After Maintenance to 5/2 Before Maintenance.
After the Event Cart promotion is over, the prices of the outfits will be displayed in the way before this promotion.

>Dear Adventurers,
>
>As most of you are aware, there has been many concerns from the community regarding the new Crowd Control effect changes since the patch on April 18th, 2018. Instead of waiting until next week’s patch, we wanted to correct some major issues caused from the last patch. We would like to offer our sincere apology for bringing the servers down for an urgent maintenance during the weekend, but we thought this was necessary to ensure that the issue at hand didn’t last long. And as a token of our sincere apology for disappointing our beloved adventurers, we are going to offer some compensation to all adventurers. The compensation list can be found from the latest Dev Diary.

>● The Crowd Control effects for ‘Stiffness’ has been modified.
> - Stiffness will now have the restriction of count. If attacked from a skill with Stiffness, the debuff would be counted as 0.7 and as with other debuffs, it will be applied up to twice. (Knockdown, Bound, Floating, Knockback, Stun, Grapple will be counted once).
>- For example, if Stiffness -> Stiffness -> Stun effects were continuously applied, the debuff count would be 0.7 + 0.7 + 1 which would exceed the count limit of 2 times and thus no other debuffs will be applied for the next 5 sec. except for Down/Air Smash.
>- Down/Air Smash effects are counted as 0 and can be applied continuously
>
>- BDO Team
The SEA announcement said 5 buffs which is accurate (in your sense) because their mervs is separate.
The NA announcement actually says 6 buffs (mervs + appearance change).
If you want to argue semantics.. six is right imo. You get six buffs at the top of your screen. Eating a balenos meal gives you three buffs not one.
There's even 7-day trial version.
I'd say it's worth the 5 dollars if you want to play PvE. Until lv50 it's fun, 50-56 grind as hell and after that should be another good things. There's RNG and microtransactions you will hate but also many features of the game you will feel refreshed with (graphics, input-sensitive dynamic combat, life professions, AFK-actions...).

Is hedgehog worth in words: I DO NOT GET PAID TO SELL HEDGEHOGS all results may change at any time there is no guarantee from the developers! be careful!
I have a hard time trying to think of a more efficient money to silver conversion and even if you gather casually. If you are into gathering or gather a hour or so a day or even less I think its a huge increase. Some argue P2W or P2C Ill stay out of that these items speak for themselves.
Things to note: Steam players cannot get this right now, don't yell at me please pm the GMS and on reddit make your voice heard.
Ok so if you have 5 t1 you will get 30% proc rate or if you have 1 t1 same thing, 30% chance. The highest Tier HH will be a higher proc rate(t3,4) (assuming all level 10 which you should rush using aggressive mode anyway and be done in two days or so.
I did not personally check t4!!! I did wait for others to confirm however. Also keep in mind numbers in this game can change at any time due to developers so please keep that in mind before u purchase this. IE later it may be less proc rate or something as it does not say anywhere what the rates are so subject to change!
All tests from me and other were conducted in December 2017 on NA server
Thanks go out to fix8 and also Mao Mao Prince discord and everyone who took time to share data to help others
regurgitating the same hive minded information that you read from every post about Bloo. "He broke ToS" yet you refuse to actually read the ToS to figure out what he actually broke? He did NOT reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble information in those files as stated in 8.2. LICENSE RESTRICTIONS of the ToS, which can't even be trusted because they don't even have a date of when the ToS was last changed... <strong>THIS</strong> is how a ToS agreement looks like (go to the bottom). NOT like this...
they were open unpacked files left in the client by LAZY INCOMPETENT people at Pearl Abyss, which was no fault of Bloo, but PA themselves. If you want to make the argument that it's Bloo's fault for revealing them, sure go ahead, but do it in a less brain dead manner.
Yes he did share the information that is now being implemented into the game to make YOUR life better when deciding on a piece of gear. Try to be less of a hypocrite, hive minded simpleton, and address the situation from your own perspective, and not like every ignorant person that claims he "Deserves his ban"
From me personally, Bloo is a great guy. I just started playing BDO, and I enjoy his stream, and him as a person. He did not deserve the knee jerk reaction from PA when they themselves violate their OWN ToS; if EU got together they could sue PA for an unplayable gaming environment that is Black Desert Online. So check your facts, and grow up.
i can supply you with a code for a free copy of the game if you can get to level 30 on your trial...and if you register at the official site and not steam.
Lemme know if you are interested
I've been playing a lot of Black Desert Online recently. The combat is amazingly fun (similar to Tera if you have played that), and the depth of some of the game mechanics is staggering (which can be very daunting at first), and some of the little details (eg, some trees changed recently to have red leaves to match the season), amount of NPC's in cities, ability to sit on chairs, ledges, anything, leaning on walls, the camera filters, really do give the game some life.
There are some serious downsides though such as you have to leave your computer on and logged into it 24/7 to get the best stats by auto-walking everywhere and it is very grindy at higher levels. They also really push micro-transactions, eg, bag space, weight limits, dyes, xp bonuses, pets, skins, etc.
A big turn off is the quality of the writing, absolutely atrocious, plot lines are quite hard to follow and sometimes don't even make sense, this mostly stems from a very poor translation from it's native language, eg, one old guy refers to his daughter as a filly.

You can buy up to 10 starter packs for other people. When a player gets a character to level 30 on that account it will unlock the ability for you to claim either a polar bear or 1000 pearls on the black desert site, found here
Since the limit is 10, that's the max amount of polar bears you can get, making the optimal choice a T4 and 3 T3's if you are lucky (5 T3's from the 10 T1's, use two of those to make a T4).
If you've given a pack to someone and still can't claim it, then they probably haven't hit level 30 yet
I assume you are NA, you should try to join World Boss Hunting Discord:
and on top of World Bosses you can hunt whales and khalk monsters as a guild:
Later when you level up and improve your gear, there will be some challenging monsters that you can kill as a party, but those are usually contested. PVP is important part of the game, and when you feel confident and have at least 10 members online you can start participation in node wars:
Try here:
https://blackdesert.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
what I did was go to: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/ then at the top you should see "support" which is right next to Account. From there just scroll down at the bottom there is a button "Send a Ticket"
You can check here which country is blocked and which isn't.
Singapore isn't supported, but might be in the future with the SEA release of this game:

You do understand that BDO haves tons and tons of people playing it, a lot of the servers are packed full of players. 6 of the (Not including New player servers) are crowed. The population is really healthy, with 3 million players playing it. Not concurrent players. That probably more around 200K-400K. Which is near/higher than FFXIV.
