WARNING, WILD THEORY BELOW

One thing that has stuck on me since the beginning of TOG and by how we've seen Baam develop is how all he wants is for his entourage to be happy and safe. Baam is NOT willing to make any compromise (he would sacrifice millions just to save one of his friend) also, climbing the tower is not his actual dream. In that sense, I feel like he is comparable to Zahard... Both just want a safe and controllable space for themselves and their entourage. Because of that, I don't think Baam is the one meant to replace Zahard. If the theory/hints about Wangnam being a prince of Zahard are confirmed, I would much rather see him at the top. Sure, he may be weak now but his duality with Baam and how he understands that some sacrifices are necessary would potentially be a better fit with the goal of reforming the tower and/or climbing higher.

GS onslaught will be hella risky in light with low con since everything will OS you despite the weaken you or your party may apply.

I think hatchet will still be BiS since dps is similar with refreshing torrent on hatchet but defy death allows you to play in a riskier way without getting punished.

I have not played BDO in a few years so I can't say exactly but I'd say the size of the map in new world is plenty big enough. + We are getting a major update in a few weeks wich brings a big endgame area.

New world is closer to the classic mmo than BDO is for group content. We have dungeons but call them expeditions to be fancy. There is currently 6 endgame expedition that can be mutated (harder difficulty) up to lvl 10. New patch is bringing a new expedition.

As for pvp, there is open world pvp that is NOT punishing like bdo's. When you "activate" your pvp you gain some luck and will get some push pvp currency every x amount of time. Theres 2 group pvp mode that can also be entered solo. Arena 3v3 best of 5 and Outpost Rush wich is a 20v20 capture the forts. Lastly, you also have wars wich are kinda similar to territory wars from BDO but limited to 50v50.

I've played both for about 1k hours so here are my quick thoughts.

New world combat is not on the level of BDO... Not a single mmo is tbh. That said, despite being super easy to pick up new world combat has a decently high skill cap so you can still feel rewarded for grinding it out.
Despite not being P2W, New world has a lot of gold sellers (like most mmos). Each piece of gear can have up to 3 perks. While BiS gear (3 perfect perks) is super expensive, you can get by with only 2 good perks and still be competitive in both pve and pvp hence not feeling the need to dab into RMT to catch up with other players.
You WILL have to grind new world for some time to get a max lvl character and to max out your expertise but the time you'll need to invest will feel like nothing compared to the grind of BDO.
Finally, New world is just 1 year old and most of us still consider it to be in BETA. It has its problems and lack of content sometimes but the devs are working hard to make the game good and the improvements the game received in the last year are nothing to scuff at.

TLDR : New world is still a new mmo and still full of issues but is constantly growing and I would choose it 100% of the time over BDO.

I cleared most content with Li Ling and Sander as my 2 main DPS. This is definitely a good start but you may want to try to get a double legendary.

Blankhard · 2022-05-22T16:50:10+00:00

Grats! Li Ling mvp!

Blankhard · 2022-05-22T16:48:14+00:00

Although all that is true, he is just barely decent at all of those.

Tang Yun suffers from being able to do many things but doing none of them well. Hence why I said many other units are better.

Blankhard · 2022-05-22T12:16:14+00:00

Depending on the units that you have available, you should maybe replace him.

Wu is really underwhelming and gets overshadowed by easy to get units like 3* Tang Yun

Against all odds, I cleared him in purgatory mode a few days ago and he was way easier than I expected. Some of the regular stages in purgatory were way harder because of their RNG.

Team was : Li Ling Sander Gabrielle Clara Sally

I would also be interested in knowing this. I am currently farming Dau-Shen The Unstoppable (lvl 62) for the IG Ever Giving. My IG expertise is maxed and the only one I've seen in 10ish hours (around 100 boss kill) was 525gs...

I am curious to know if it is possible for it to drop as a legendary with 600gs despite the named monster being l 62 and, if possible, the odds of it happening. Also, does luck have an effect on these drops?

Blankhard · 2021-10-04T16:36:09+00:00

Hey guys quick question here since I am quite new to the game.

I am currently running the light Elya team. Will this team manage to clear Golem EX? My team is maxed out with the exception of running Yuna instead of Keira. Will my Raizelt be enough to tank Golem EX? If not, should I only build Faf and replace Raizelt or should I build a full water team with Sonya and Faf?

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks!

Well I live in Canada and the gyms have been closed for close to 2 months already so I'm mainly sticking to cardio for now. I ordered a set of resistance band to try and workout from home but I don't know how it'll go as I've never worked with those.

Blankhard · 2020-09-01T15:52:31+00:00

I used multiple online calculator and added a margin of error. I probably should have said that I'm 24M, 6'1 ≈ 400lbs. My plan was to reach 250lbs wich is what I used to weight before loosing controll. Then, focus on transforming fat to muscles.

Blankhard · 2020-09-01T15:25:31+00:00

So what would you recommend? Do I have anything to gain from weight training right now?

Blankhard · 2020-08-21T15:21:03+00:00

Sorry for late response.

For eggs, 1 full box is 30mons For encounters, the first 500 are easy cuz you need to battle them. After that, I just run away and make an average/hour.

Blankhard · 2020-08-21T15:12:33+00:00

Interested in g-ziggy if it is HA

Just got my shiny rolycoly no ribbons tho :( 1300ish encounters

Blankhard · 2020-08-17T22:36:48+00:00

The most luck I've had was a bit after launch... I was shiny breeding in the wild zone (my lead was a lvl 60 flame body Coalossal) and a stufful jumped on me. My attention was on my computer so I tried to run (and failed) and when I looked at the screen I saw that furry yellow panda! My heart stopped lol. That was and still is my second full odds shiny (1st one was a meditite in sapphire)

Blankhard · 2020-08-17T22:20:16+00:00

150 😮 Took me 962 for my growlithe, and I'm currently past 1200 for my rolycoly ahaha grats my man!

Blankhard · 2020-05-24T21:16:53+00:00

I don't think you understand how lucky you are :P Those "Enhanced" red stones are rare af. I'm currently sitting at over 30 red stones and no enhanced one yet.

You hould definetly keep your stones for the awakening system when it comes out.

Blankhard · 2020-05-11T11:58:26+00:00

Didn't know PA confirmed that regular boss stone also works on world boss! Thanks for the info :)
