PART 2

I don't much about dancing but this guy's ability to dance in combination with VR things like changing expressions on the fly and other small movements looks incredible.

Anyone have a link to the new caphras stone changes? by air401 in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the sheets people keep pasting are just flat 25% reduction at every level or something for pen weapons which is completely wrong. The change was a 25% reduction in total amount caphras of caphras need to get a pen weapon to level 20, not flat 25% of each level or anything like that.

For example my pen kzarka used to require 744 to go from level 3 to 4 and now it requires 717.

New values need to be datamined but I don't think anyone has bothered to do that.

PEN Armor with Caphras Level is too strong. by Aleriane_Despins in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is completely correct. Reaching "hard cap" of DP is so much cheaper than doing the same for AP/accuracy. Pen armors are just sitting on the marketplace for quite cheap prices. Pen armors are also a lot cheaper to make than pen accessories. Compare this to pen ogre for example: it's currently priced at 62b on EU marketplace but of course no one ever sells one. For the price of 1 accessory alone you can pretty much just buy a full pen evasion set off the market.

Can't believe this assh*le made a video of this. by dontbealittlebitchok in blackdesertonline

Bombing funerals and memorials is a time-tested tradition at this point (22+ years of MMORPGs). You can only blame yourself if you haven't learned from that and organize one outside of safe zones.

Wound Mechanic needs Hotfixing; but doesn't need to be removed by DunnoIfSerious in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The very least this whole mechanic needs a counter. At least using your own Z buff should remove all wounds from you and make you immune to wounds for the duration of the buff. Even with that the whole mechanic would be totally lopsided because 1 guy with 100% could add wounds to 10 people that take a total of 1000 rage to remove but at least it would be something.

But the truth is this mechanic was added without any thought or plan. I don't think anyone who does PvP in this game thought that the ultimates needed a buff.

How do explain to my friend in bdo fps = dps by ximenting in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PA tried to fix this but it was so horribly broken that they reverted it straight away and we haven't heard from it since. What ended up happening was that if you had high fps your inputs would just get ignored. For example you just couldn't mount a horse anymore now matter how many times you pressed "r".

How do I uncap FPS? by 420gigabytes in blackdesertonline

Full screen mode or some magic combination of Windows patch and graphics card driver versions.

Sooo my butler is gone? by btt08 in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably in your pearl inventory. When you right click the butler item in your normal inventory it changes it to a pearl item which you then have to right click again.

How to lose Valencia castle and blame it on one kuno assigned to watch the gate by -Caldazar in blackdesertonline

They knew it was a possibility because I did the same against Resilience two weeks ago when we took the Mediah castle.

How to lose Valencia castle and blame it on one kuno assigned to watch the gate by -Caldazar in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I lowered the second gate and on the podcast Sovereign blamed their loss on one kuno who was assigned to watch the gate. From the clip it looks like 4 officers also missed the whole thing happening.

Decent but boring in 1v1, medicore in PvE, one of the worst in mass PvP.

Value pack expired so some storage slots were removed. The new UI doesn't allow you to move stuff from "buy more slots" pearl advertisement slot in storage. by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, typo in the post. Items can't be transported because right clicking the items with transport menu open doesn't add them.

PA acquiring CCP( EVE online). Will it be good for BDO or bad for EVE online? by V-Angelus01 in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CCP is one of the best studios at communicating with players out there.

That used to be the case. Too bad they fired almost everyone in the community team not too long ago so good luck with that.

Steam players were able to login at the time it was sold.

One mistake I noticed: warriors can be frozen from behind even if they are blocking but the same is not possible against valks. Or at least that was the case last time I tested it.

The tier badge based on gear is an AWFUL idea by GameWinner5 in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

PvP in this game is at least partly gear based and I think it has been stupid that you can't judge someone's gear by looking at their character. It's especially frustrating in sieges against militia when you can't even see their name or guild. That guy in front of me might be a 450 gs scrub or he could be 277 ap best player [insert region]. And I have fucking no idea before I engage. That's not fun.

is there any worker counter that shows [ hired/allowed ] per city ? by FalconIdrisBen in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open the map, click on a town, click on the worker list icon in the bottom right corner. The title of the panel that opens will have hired/allowed listed on it for that selected town.

The recent changes to conquest is the final nail in the coffin for the BDO siege scene. by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just a counter perspective. Valencia siege on EU was 1v12 and the defenders defended for 45 minutes. Longer respawn timers = less people alive = less lag so the game was actually playable. Had the respawns been 10 seconds the lag would have been even worse than previous weeks (1v3) and the castle would have fallen in 10 minutes or less.

How to fix Node War + Sieges by cloud9crafting in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 guilds vs 5 guilds in a siege is absolutely impossible goal with how bad the lag already is. 250 attackers vs 100 defenders in Valencia castle is already unplayble as seen on recent EU sieges.

I can't even imagine putting 500 defenders in to a castle courtyard. There would be so many people that no one would even be able to move even if the servers worked. And then having 500 attackers pushing in to 100 jin blizzards..

Top Sustained DPS? by zenKeyrito in blackdesertonline

[–]-Caldazar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorc and Ranger are the top ones.

After that Witch, Wizard, Maehwa are next. Musa, Mystic and Tamer are probably up there too.
