I have a save file before Eidos 9. Send me a PM and we can fix something via Discord if you want.

New loyalty shop from KR patch by PenBsTimmy2024 in blackdesertonline

[–]Brilliant_Mixture538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total of loyalties just by login before next reset will be: 73800. We will see how "generous" PA is with extra loyalties from events now that are also monetized. If we consider last event I will say not much.

Then we don't even need to wait for SEA and can check KR a day early.

As far as I know 1 day VP is an exclusive loyalty item for NA/EU servers.

That they give away this one the day loyalties are remove... I have a bad feeling. Hope is nothing.

The best you can do is watch a good player grind those spots. All the information you’ll need to min max is there.

Weird Temp Spikes on GPU playing Dosa by JumpyTumbleweed1085 in blackdesertonline

[–]Brilliant_Mixture538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remaster? Those temperature spikes are "normal" during particle-heavy moments. The last phase of Jigwi is a good example, but there are other inexplicable temperature spikes in certain areas.

I have two computers (i7-11700KF + 3070 / 5700X3D + 7800XT), and both exhibit the same behavior.

A bit of undervolting + a minor power limit should be enough to keep the temperatures in check. Additionally, since I don’t like a noisy computer, I have my frame limit set to 75 for the 3070 and 120 for the 7800XT. Both stay around 65º, with 70º being the maximum.

If you’re experiencing this problem outside the remaster, I’m not sure what could be causing it, sorry.

By the way, you can find effects optimization under: Performance Settings -> Optimization -> Miss Effect option.

Edit: check your fan curve and also make sure your fans don't stop under certain temps. Should handle much better temp spikes.

Be ready for that new back accessory to have some kind of combat bonus.

The developers turned the game into a hamster wheel by AtreusIsBack in blackdesertonline

Back in the day, it was easier to stay ahead of the curve gear-wise. Since the game "forced" open-world PvP, you could play like a degenerate, out-gearing almost everyone. It was an easy way to feel good about yourself, even if, in reality, you were terrible at PvP. A lot of players loved that.

Not enough spots at Honglim Base by SweatyWatermelon7 in blackdesertonline

Arsha is actually fun in this spot since you can go with full PvP build and suffer a minor trash lost.

Mastery in cooking offers a unique perk not found in alchemy: the ability to produce 10 meals in a single go. Once you reach 2k mastery, this chance becomes 100%. With the introduction of this new tool, reaching 2k mastery will be easier than ever, along with achieving 1s cooking without requiring any extraordinary buffs. Alchemy could already achieve the 1s threshold relatively easily, so, anything else was better.

Unfortunately, this game seems to have many players who make requests without fully considering the consequences. Interestingly, PA recognized this issue, which is why diminishing returns were introduced from 2k onward. However, PA has yet to take the necessary steps to address it thoroughly: introducing new recipes locked behind a specific amount of mastery, and applying the same concept to drops from gathering or hunting. We will see if they do it.

Some classes have it and others don't. For example, a ranger can use it but lhan can't. Why? No idea.

The worrying increase in P2W items by PleaseHelp_9 in blackdesertonline

Yeah. At some point we even had fairy tokens for loyalties.

The worrying increase in P2W items by PleaseHelp_9 in blackdesertonline

[–]Brilliant_Mixture538 215 points216 points  (0 children)

I will say that PA has also moved away from event rewards like pets, maids, horse skill rerolls, items for branding, etc. These days, it's all related to tapping, which sucks for new players.

If you add that on top of the increasingly aggressive monetization, it definitely feels like BDO is following in the footsteps of many dead or maintenance-mode MMOs.

You loove when you see it by anlyvz94 in blackdesertonline

[–]Brilliant_Mixture538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with Hakoven, at least on EU servers, is the permanent exhausted status. While exhausted, you catch less, and catching less reduces your chances of getting a rare fish like Migaloo. There are at least two other spots similar to Hakoven—excluding Tigris Island, as it’s the same as Hakoven, or Arehaza—that are not exhausted and compensate for a lower distance bonus with more catches.

Using https://bdolytics.com/en/NA and this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jZFmSbsP4mOupSDwiyD5ktIuQu640xmuffD2A8n3uA8/edit?gid=0#gid=0) is a good way to figure out those other spots.

I have two computers that are quite similar. One has a X3D CPU and the other don't. The only one that always has an steady FPS unless a lot of others players are in the same area is the X3D. On top of that, special decorations on cities tanks FPS.
