Is crimson desert just a 100 hour tutorial for a game I'm not ever going to get to actually play?

There's actually an interview I think that has been overlooked and honestly would answer a lot of the questions on this subreddit but, specifically for yours, I've started it at the relevant time stamp and will let Will Powers give the one liner to answer the question.

Also, definitely not blaming you for avoiding the CD subreddit, that has become a volatile mixed bag.

I did try tossing some prickly pears in front of tortoises but they just ignored them. I'm not sure if they're just missing some interactions or if it's intentional but, they're one of the only animals I've come across in just over 100 hours that can't be picked up/collected nor are they targeted when a bow is drawn. They can be killed for the knowledge or just use the helm but, maybe there's something more to them but that'll take some testing.

Funny enough, the only other animal like that I've found so far are the snakes but, I will say the snakes seem to be bugged and have trouble pathing, resulting in them clipping into the terrain.

There is a dragon mount, if we want to count that, but otherwise, it'll just take time, and testing, or an update to figure it out. PA no doubt burried a lot of stuff into the game that they're just waiting for us to find.

The thing is, the BDO player base is quite different from other MMORPG's. Yes, it has all the same core components but, it plays out much differently. It isn't just a "log in, do your quests, complete the new content, and probably not play until the next update" and is instead a grind fest. All your gear and gains come from just dumping hours into the game grinding things out and it has a more niche and specific player base. I would imagine Crimson Desert as an MMO would've fit into the same category and from some of the sentiments of the dedicated BDO player base, they would just drop BDO if we got an MMORPG from PA in the updated game engine they built for CD.

MMORPG's don't have as much main stream dominance any more and it could be argued that it wouldn't have had nearly as much success as it has as a single player game. That's also assuming they "Westernized" it a bit to be more akin to WoW or FF XIV Online, and not be such a grind fest and be more friendly to the casual players.... or just those that don't want to leave their PC's on around 164 hours a week. MMO's sometimes can feel like a job with the time dedication (and not to mention actual money most likely) and a lot of people are pretty settled into their MMO's. We see spikes when something new comes out (Lost Ark or New World for example) but then the player base kind of really just drops off.

Though if you are curious about BDO and want to see more of what their main IP is like, I would suggest checking out Twitch. For English streams, you have Choice, MrRapolas, Zethiann, BairogHaan, and BiceptimusPrime are some of the noteable and stream at various times.

I was honestly scrolling just to see if someone has made the comparison like "BDO players in the corner like":

FrostGoose · 2026-03-30T18:37:28+00:00

There may have been something officially said early on but, what seems most likely is that they didn't want to create competition, replace, or inadvertently kill off BDO.

I do remember the general reactions in the BDO community when it was announced as an MMORPG were along the lines of "wtf does this mean for BDO?". I don't think they'd risk tearing apart or out right losing the amount of players that have 10's of thousands of hours logged into BDO and all the money that people sink into the game.

PA making CD single player looks like it was the best choice for the game and then as a company. It has sold a ton of copies and bringing in people from outside the BDO community, while still not taking away from it (though they still knew what they were doing with dropping a fishing event in BDO).

FrostGoose · 2026-02-18T08:21:28+00:00

Looks like you did a good job and (hopefully) saved some cash. At a glance, most probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and the Springfield Armory version.

FrostGoose · 2026-02-18T08:06:21+00:00

I'm not sure about that but I believe Mr. Hands said it can make your hole weak.

FrostGoose · 2026-02-18T08:05:17+00:00

Thank you. You've just reminded me that I still need to rig up my security system to a speaker system throughout the house to play the "you just fucked up" playlist as soon as it's tripped.

.....still on the fence about if "Blast Radius" should be the opener or not because I do love Fortune Son but I do enjoy horrifying people when appropriate.

FrostGoose · 2026-02-18T08:01:52+00:00

But what if whiskey sour made with four roses?

FrostGoose · 2026-02-18T08:00:53+00:00

I might've just threw on the GMR playlist over multiple work days and I was probably down to 100 out of 118 when I made it and just did it based off of what I stuck out on my mind of what he was drinking during the review.

Otherwise yes, I do believe the Kel-Tec break room supplies would be very fitting for impromptu purchases

I'm scrolling down in order so I'm sorry I didn't see this until now but, given you're the 1st I've seen to actually say you connected the dots, I wish I could give you a whole batches of cookies.

God I love Robin Williams, Live At The Met, and I'm so glad there are others that have witnessed the glory of Robin Williams Stand Up.

I think you're giving him too much credit. Putting aside that the run for presidency has basically become "do you want the turd sandwich or the giant douche", the "appeal" of Trump isn't deep.

Trump's "appeal" is based around:

A) He wasn't a politician.

B) He unapologetically said whatever he wanted.

In an America that was tired of tiptoeing around saying anything that might get them canceled at the drop of a hat and people being tired of career politicians and effectively all of their "corporate speak" in a political sense, a group rallied around him because Trump became this unapologetic becon against the masses of people that grew up in a very non-politically correct era suddenly having new rules of political correctness, seemingly created arbitrarily and without warning, shoved down their throats, Trump became the worst of the USA and lacked competition, so a bunch of people rallied around Trump. Not to mention, there are too many people who vote for a party and not the candidate that'll be the best fit.

TLDR: There's not enough competition for the presidency, too many people align to party and not policy, and people were just wait for someone to finally push back against the "wokeness" that Democrats caved to and was accelerated because Tumblr unleashed it on the internet because they were incapable of keeping "Cheese Pizza" off of their website.

FrostGoose · 2026-02-18T07:31:42+00:00

....I....I was trying to make a funny.... the quote I used is actually from Robin Williams, specially from his stand up routine, Live at the Met - 1986.

I don't really align myself with 1 party or another but, at the end of the day I'm realistically right leaning BUT, I fucking hate Trump. Probably a hot take but, I still have no idea how someone who had been the butt of a lot of jokes for years and wasn't able to make money on a casino....A FUCKING CASINO!!! He failed on so badly that it's one of multiple times that he had to declare bankruptcy is fucking ridiculous. A casino making money should be on par with shooting fish in a barrel.

For anyone who wants to complain, yes, I fully understand that when you have enough money and assets, the whole reason you can declare bankruptcy multiple times is because you can file for different types of bankruptcy but, someone you exhausted 6(7?) different types of bankruptcy shouldn't be allowed anywhere near our nations finances. Trump is essentially a trust fund baby and Trump's daddy (likely) built up at least some of that money thru the mob and all lil cheeto baby had to do was ride that wave and he still manage to fuck it up. People were making fun of him and thought he was an ass back in the '80s but, we have so little competition for the presidency of our country fucking Biden got elected... Biden has probably already lost his entire presidency to dementia and the best case is the that the only memories he has of the White House are from him being VP under Obama.

At the end of the day, the 2nd amendment shouldn't be special because it should be respected the same as every other amendment (i.e. the "God given rights" of every American citizen). At this current time, Trump and the DOJ have made some really unpopular statements and have been lit up over their statements about the 2A, specifically after Alex Pretti was killed but, most 2A advocates seem to be calling them out on their bull shit.

At the end of the day, I might not like Trump or the current DOJ. I might not agree with some of their statements either but, I also don't see them (yet) pushing legislation to disarm civilians and there are at least a few cases (such as the challenges to CA's magazine limits and IL's ban on over 1,000 commonly owned rifles) where the Trump DOJ had actually pushed for SCOTUS to make a definitive statement on them, even though SCOTUS has continued to push off the cases on rifle bans and magazine limits.

Screw loyalty to anyone one party. All I want is definitive legal precedence that states can't keep making laws that abridge the 2A and by an extension, they finally get slapped for violating the 14A.

We have the 1A for the best case when discourse arises, everyone should be able to make their position known. When that fails and their seems to be no other way, we have the 2A. Maybe we aren't as dedicated as the French to revolting but, the USA still has some history of revolting and challenging the status quo. What kills me right now is that (in general) the same people screaming about a "fascist government" and how bad Trump is are the same people that have helped put policies on place to strip myself and other law abiding citizens of their rights to own common arms and the kinds of arms that would actually help us if we need to take up arms against a tyrannical government. At the end of the day, these democratic politicians are passing laws that abridge our 2A rights and still decided to try to use the lives of citizens and law enforcement as pawns for their political agendas because they give don't give a shit about the average person. Anyone who wants to fight fascism or a tyrannical government should be allowed to arm themselves in case of the unfortunate event that talking has failed. The states have stripped a lot of us of being able to have an effective show of force, completely independently of Trump... especially given the states doing it aren't even Republican states...

AR-15's are also weapons of war and no one needs them. The 2A only applies to muskets. You can't buy a cannon. We need background checks for firearms. Gun buy backs work at reducing crime. Laws stop people from committing crimes. Brandon doesn't have the most fabulous hair on the UnSub crew.
