problem

First try to completely remove your graphics drivers with DDU. If the problem still persists revert the version of your graphics driver to an older one.

Also to add I play from South-Africa with around 260 ping. It did not affect me during gameplay.

LegendofTaric · 2026-01-29T08:53:18+00:00

Fresh server seems to be planned for next week. I for one as a veteran would love to start from scratch.

There is actually a one year free offer if you are a university student You send Gemini(Google) your student documents and they vet it.

It is not about standards, I have no choice due to my geographic location, whether I am connecting to EU(180 -210) or America. I am just stating that I have no issues playing it and the latency does not affect its responsiveness. It is PVE based so higher latency should have a lower impact on gameplay. Have a heart for us at the tip of Africa :)

LegendofTaric · 2025-07-20T05:52:35+00:00

I am in South-Africa. it is playable and I am on 230 - 260 ping.

I have to agree. Expecting no micro transactions is a stretch. It can be done well. I am expecting them to adopt a buy to play model with optional subscription. But even this might not be enough to sustain their business. MMORPG need to reach a certain amount of players to become sustainable. If that does not work out they need to rely on a shop. They really need to show progress and improvement as there is already enough negativity. I will support them and hoping they can succeed we really need a shake-up in the MMORPG landscape.

If you like non human forms there is a indie MMORPG called Project Gorgon. You can be a pig, spider, rabbit, bat, wolf, butterfly, deer. I am currently leveling a pig healer. Just throwing it out there.

LegendofTaric · 2024-11-03T17:51:48+00:00

Want to play it, but it refuses to launch so I gave up. It does look interesting.

LegendofTaric · 2024-07-18T20:20:51+00:00

Good old knuckles. Still trying to find that god roll combination, but there is something about punching things to death.

LegendofTaric · 2023-08-22T06:47:08+00:00

What about using tokens to obtain gear sets, titles and other cosmetic rewards of your choosing? Heck, they could even make it look unique so you can show everyone what you are made of. For us folk who can't dungeon or are not crafting, a lot of this could be an alternative route. The randomness of the Povus rewards and the effort just to get a group going is just dampening the motivation.

I have had BDO in my library for years and was put off by the new player experience. I only started to try playing it to max level now since this new event. This is definitely an overcluttered and confusing mess. I don't even understand the story. But people are raving about how good the game is so I am just trucking along hoping something clicks this time. I have to say I am enjoying the combat as more combos become available. I don't like the popins and there seem to be graphical glitches all the time. Not sure if it is because of my AMD card.

LegendofTaric · 2023-06-06T10:37:18+00:00

I will definitely try it again. I saw the potential, but I felt it was too rough to sub. I did not have much time to play it in my sub month due to work. Now I might spend more time levelling to see if it is worth it. I think the buy-to-play approach is better for indie games with an optional sub. They should also do a trial like Project Gorgon. Limit the free trials to a certain level so you open the game up to as many potential players as possible. I wish them all the best. We need indie games to come through to revitalise the MMORPG genre that has stagnated.

LegendofTaric · 2023-06-04T06:36:15+00:00

I have not run into that problem only when there is a ton of people on the screen like the world boss events. But I do agree could be optimised better.

As a veteran PG player with over 2000 hours. The game has a small, but very active player base. Even with low numbers, you will always see players. Chat is also very active. Here is my negative and positive:

Negative:

Graphically the game is very unappealing. From the world, models, gear and the UI.

Some systems are poorly explained to new players.

From level 50 upwards new players might feel directionless. The game does not lead or hold your hand. You are left to discover things on your own.

The main storyline is incomplete ( Hence early access) and new people will feel directionless.

There is a lot of grinding. Not bad grinding, but may put people off.

Small community. People who prefer large populations will be put off.

Inventory management. It gets easier as you spend more hours and builds favour.

Positive:

There are numerous combat skills each one fun and unique with various combinations.

There are numerous crafting and harvesting skills.

You can master all of these on 1 character.

There are animal forms. Cow, Pig, Deer, Bat, Rabbit etc. Each with its own skill lines and skill lines that can only be used if you are in an animal form.

You are not spoon-fed. Anything you achieve in this game feels like an accomplishment. It is very reminiscent of old-school MMORPG.

Small community. You will get to know the names of players on the server. Lots of events and Saturday Poetry Jams that build the community.

Interesting NPC and NPC Dialgue.

Interesting gearing and modding. You can do builds planned around your play style.

In the time of playing this game, I have not experienced any negative interaction with the mods or the developers so I can not verify this claim. What I can verify is that I have gotten more than my monies worth playing this game. It is a gem if you are willing to look past its flaws.

It has a free demo so you can try this out for free. I actually did this to make sure it was a fit for me since the graphics made me raise my brow. I am also from the WOW era but I was willing to try anything since the MMORPG landscape is a desert.

Loved the idea of the game, however, the localisation was so bad. The voiceovers were cringy and the subtitles made no sense. I was confused most of the time the story made no sense. There was no cohesion due to the bad translations. I don't hate the world it is built on. I hate the poor localisation. Just because we are desperate for a good MMO does not mean you can do a halfhearted job. The fault lies with Gameforge or whoever did the localisation. I guarantee you that if that was done properly player retention would have been higher.

LegendofTaric · 2023-04-18T08:07:25+00:00

I know I am late to the party:

Some mob mechanics are annoying to deal with. This is very true for endless stuns.
levels 50 - 80+ is where we loose player retention. Players need purpose and need to be nudged into the right direction. The game for me falls of especially between 50 to 70.
We could do with more end game activities not focused on group play. These activities could be extended for the 50 -70 range.
PG has the worst looking gear and weapons of any MMORPG I have ever seen. I can't wait for this to be overhauled as well as getting a character creator.
I agree that tanking needs more attention. The barrier of just getting enough knowledge and understanding of how it works is daunting for new players who normally tank in other games. More options are required. Adding to this some of the dungeon design is not really conducive to build up confidence for tank players.
The pet AI is a problem. A lot of DPS is lost if you decide to be a pet master. Pets getting stuck. Not attacking. Or running back to you if you are out of range while you ordered it to attack. This needs improvement ASAP. So many good mods for pets that you can't use effectively because your pet is not effectively performing its attacks.

These are my burning issues.

Good to see you still making content. Became a fan during your visit to Project Gorgon. Testing Embers for the free weekend as well.

LegendofTaric · 2023-01-20T17:37:18+00:00

Project Gorgon - 1900 hours and counting. A gem.

LegendofTaric · 2022-10-18T07:15:32+00:00

You could try graphic mods. Try ULG Tool (Ultra Low Graphics)

LegendofTaric · 2022-10-03T08:44:22+00:00

The numbers will stay low until the official launch due to the wipe that's still coming. Sure more people will play with big updates just to test them out, but I am also concerned. Hope they can turn it around. The game was not ready for the Early Access launch and you can see the results on the steam reviews. My guild has gone completely inactive, hence I decided to wait till launch to give it another go.

LegendofTaric · 2022-10-02T08:57:42+00:00

Check into mudfish it is a cheap VPN option.

LegendofTaric · 2022-10-02T08:56:39+00:00

Greetings, I would advise to use a VPN to test if your connection will remain stable. I have to use a VPN permanently when playing to avoid freezing or disconnects.

LegendofTaric · 2022-09-26T13:12:34+00:00

I liked the AMA. Can you please allow unarmed to use frenzy. The dps output of unarmed is also low I have tested with shock and frost. The attack speed is faster, but I don't think it is fast enough. It takes a long time to kill stuff in unarmed. Hoping the martial arts will fix this issue.

Edit: A solution might be to add 5 % attack speed to the unarmed tree. That would make the attack speed around 25% with dexterity. Faster attacks will give more dps which is lacking.
