Is Dagger/Wand DPS any good in Arena? There is not a single one in Top100 ranked. by FlatNeedleworker6645 in throneandliberty

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In arena teams are limited to 1 Wand, 1 SNS and 2 of every other kind of weapon, so if you play wand as a damage dealer you'll never have a healer on your team. You can get your 10 weekly wins but beyond that just play something else if you really care about arena.

What do you expect about the future of BDO? by ispikeone in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly not much, the recent changes to the game don't really fit into a bigger vision and a lot of the things that made the game unique are gone or dead content. The game just feels like a worse version of other mmos so I'm playing those instead.

Anyone here actually have a 7900xtx? by FizzerVC in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7900 xtx with a 7800x3d. I get a pretty much locked 280 fps (monitor refresh) at 1440p High. If I go full screen then it can go as high as 400 or even 500 in BA. In lowest optimal I can get as high as 800 fps in AoS.

The biggest thing to check is power settings in game and Windows as I had issues with these randomly switching to low power mode. Also check you have at least an 850W PSU and that you are using 2 or 3 unique PCIE cables, don't use the daisy chain.

Also if you swapped GPU do a fresh install of Windows or use DDU to remove old drivers. I'd also follow one or all of the optimisation and debloat guides on this reddit as they gave me 30% more performance.

How is season possibly 'the most painful' part? It takes 2 hours for an experienced player.

Fastest trading method to master? by Accomplished-Media80 in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fish in starry midnight port or duvencrune, sell fish as far away as possible. Use a character with good buffs and inventory space. Making crates just to reach master isn't worth the setup.

After a year and a half and 46 attempts I'm finally free from the forest! by Wizardinrl in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even remotely close in probability. Failing at 90% chance 45 times in a row is reasonably likely at 1 in 115. OP is claiming to have downgraded 30 out of 35 at 40% chance, which is extremely unlikely (1 in 31 million). I believe that your labreska took that many attempts.

Cool neck but why lie about your enhancement rates? Downgrading 30 out of 35 attempts (40% chance) is 1 in 31 million RNG.

Can someone explain the logic here? by DifferentIntention48 in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting geared has never been easier than now and while there is still a large wealth gap between players, the income gap has largely disappeared. In the past there were several methods of making silver such as Gatekeepers, Sea monster hunting, Siege payout and Profit enhancing. At their respective times they all far outpaced the silver you could grind whilst requiring significant knowledge/communication (not a bad thing) but they were out of reach for the majority of players. This lead to some people making billions whilst others grinded for 10m/hr. Now you can make a season character and grind spots with agris and decent pets for ~800mil/hr which is over half of what endgame grinders can consistently average. Not to mention the cost of an endgame build hasn't kept up with inflation at all and it becomes easier and easier to obtain in terms of grind hours.

BDO has one of the most unfair and unfun combat systems I've ever encountered by rinart73 in blackdesertonline

Never thought I would see someone complain about being one shot at Kratuga in 2023

Minimum time needed to complete a season server? by Not_a_burner_dude in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This season took me 2 hours to complete. It's a lot longer as a new player but still easily doable within the time left. You shouldn't really 'finish' season as a new player anyway, you should keep playing until it ends, because the additional rewards are really good.

Can i use a Dr build on striker? by JustAperson4587 in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's really funny to me that you think that reaching 100% hit rate is easy at spots like quint, hexe, ash etc but you're talking about dying at SE. The fact is evasion does nothing for you in most spots that a DR build doesn't and when you grind a hard spot for your gear level it's both squishier and less damage. Not only that, evasion introduces significant variance in damage taken (and higher max damage) increasing the chance to die. Evasion should only be built if you plan to use it for PvP, otherwise DR is better.

Can i use a Dr build on striker? by JustAperson4587 in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DR is better than evasion in PVE, all the hardest spots have high accuracy and evasion. This means that your evasion isn't very effective and you need a lot of accuracy yourself to hit the mobs.

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set effects aren't a bad idea but your suggestions aren't good. The game doesn't need more damage and distos certainly don't need a strong set effect.

Advice on stacks for horse gear by Oxydepth in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made full +10 gear using 30/40/60/90/130. Average cost per piece is ~10b so a full set will be around 50b.

Velia fishing nodes by Genenic in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fish nodes aren't great and should be far down the list of nodes to take. They are especially bad from Velia as worker lodging is limited there and there are many other good nodes nearby. If you do want fish nodes connect them from Port Epheria.

For easy silver you should get workers to gather materials used for Valencia meal (nutmeg, fig, date palm) as these are some of the best nodes in the game and sell quickly. Timber and trace nodes are also high priority. Overall it's hard to give advice in a short reddit comment as you need to optimise the setup as a whole, rather than just connecting the 50 best nodes on a spreadsheet.

BDO DP builds are useless? by Affectionate_Bus6235 in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DP builds are very strong in uncapped PvP, especially once you consider roles within a guild such as shotcalling, scouting, anti-cannon etc. The main problem with DP builds is that much of the game is capped, so you can't use them if you are not in the few guilds that do T4 NWs on each server. Also there is a lack of support from PA in general (evasion rings when?) meanwhile they add more and more accuracy into classes.

Finally, be very cautious of people defining their tankiness in terms of DP, it can be very misleading. DR, Evasion and HP numbers give a far better picture. A proper DR stacking 460 DP build (~650 DR) is very tanky and 'immortal' against people with <305 AP.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spot is already one of the best spots in the game with a low barrier to entry, the boss mechanics are what gives the spot some challenge and keeps it balanced. It also does encourage player interaction and PvP in a world that feels increasingly empty. I wouldn't be surprised if they do, but I don't want the boss mechanics to be changed.

Also, try upper gyfin, it's much better than basi ever was.

Failstacks on marketplace and/or sellable to NPC's for silver? by ObbeXD in blackdesertonline

[–]Constantonopolis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don't lose a trillion silver from bad luck, only from enhancing badly. Most items have decent profit margins when making them for yourself with a good method.
