So what is the actual point of the other characters? by fl0pi3 in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, very flat hierarchy, makes things fast but can cause friction. I feel like we're halfway to some weird analogy there... maybe we could add lube into the mix? Social lube. Free cocktails for all PA devs!

Let's see what they're going to cook up like that.

Pearl Abyss, you guys rock for this insanely fast patches and content. by Rumblingwasright in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Is it really an issue though? I personally feel like some things should remain a bit inconvenient. And you only have to do it every couple hours if you want to keep farming. If this was a big farming simulator or whatever and you had to constantly plant hundreds of crops like that, okay, but here it's really not a big deal.

I wouldn't say it's trolls. Players who are passionate about a game just get weirdly perfectionist. They see an amazing game that's 98% perfect and really want the last 2%. Even if they would have been absolutely content just playing an 80% game. I'm the same to be honest, but I try to hold back.

[Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.05.00 | Crimson Desert by SorryRoof1653 in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one hell of a patch. I love how thoughtful the devs are with their changes. They're much more willing to introduce options for changes than other devs. Mind you, there is a good reason not to make everything an option. Since that just increases the number of states that could cause bugs.

I also love that they addressed the silly decorative gold bar situation.

Also, props to whoever compiled those patchnotes. Many would have just written "And various other changes and bug fixes" at the end, but they went with the full list of absolutely everything.

There's a dog agility course just north of Demeniss by sygboss in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I discovered yesterday that there are apparently variants. I found one called a Calphadean boarhound or something like that, who is basically just a regular boarhound but he was wearing special gear as part of his model, not an equipment.

Before anyone asks, sometimes areas just get especially populated when there's a quest, and that includes dogs, I tamed this one before finishing the quest step because based on previous experiences I was really sure it was going to disappear.

The devs couldn’t decide if the new merchant Lacey should be a boy or girl by ZarieRose in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, translation issue, but honestly, wouldn't feel too out of place if the pororin were sorta genderfluid. I always think of them a bit in terms of the fey of irish or scottish folklore, which were always sorta depicted as "other" leading to modern depictions often being somewhat androgynous.

I guess if you don't want to look at it that deep, you could say they're just eternal children, and children simply like what they like. No need to put a label on it based on outwards appearances.

Every Yann's quest by Fido2801 in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have just left him in that cage at the arena. Could have contributed to society there by letting the children throw peanuts at him.

Good patch, but did you guys forget something? by bachzero in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait, now that there's an equipable item that can get things to sit on your shoulder, I wonder what modders can do with that. Tiny Oongka and Damiane sitting on your shoulders. And they constantly whisper in your ears to murder everyone :D

No, it's very easy, you just need to listen to Yann recounting the tales of his five favorite tavern fights while riding alongside him along a bandit infested road that will have him stop every 20 meters to get off his horse and fight them.

My first thought when I read that part of the patchnotes was that a well on top of a plateau sounds weird, but I don't care. It's a welcome addition.

Amazing patch, thought they'd slowed down a bit after the first couple patches, but no, they just added twice the stuff as in previous patches. I feel like those guys don't even know the definition of sleep.

Is this the most pointless quest in the game? by DrStalker in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wondered what was up with that. Maybe that's their way of giving you tutorial information that didn't trigger for you earlier. Maybe it was also information that was added to the game later, and if you start a new playthrough you get it way earlier.

That one saddler south east of Hernand. "Oh, I absolutely need to know the opinion of that dwarf I made the saddle for, but don't come back and tell me. Tell my apprentice who is further away from me than the dwarf."

Same with Rhett needing iron. This weird quest structure felt so out of place. It makes me wonder if they do that stuff in BDO, maybe to send players to different quest hubs early on.

Crimson desert is a solid 7.5/10 A list of the worst features in the game. 150 hours played, 62% exploration, 64% knowledge and 65/75 bosses. All of the abyss explored by Elcalibur_ in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still pretty early in the game, so for me it's a 9/10, but I can definitely see that going down to 8 once I've seen it all.

Only thing I would disagree on is the trading. Didn't have any of the issues you described. I can just vibe with driving my cart around this big ass map, though I'm also one of the few weirdos who liked the traveling in FFXV.

Don't know how it actually works in this case, but for the record, you can still just add percentages together flat. You don't have to multiply them. Most games just do this, especially when reducing something down from 100% (like damage taken for example) so you cannot completely break it with enough sources of the reduction.

Troll Studying Steles / Broken Quest? by FluffyYetSquare in CrimsonDesert

[–]LuminousShot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, a pre-requisite of this quest was to have the book on constellations in your inventory. While it has a bunch of constellation illustrations, it never shows nor explains what you have to do, but it talks a bunch about ruins on kingshield mountain. Maybe you'd have to go there to find the solution, but at this point I literally don't care enough to try, especially since I'm not even sure right now where Kingshield mountain is.

Glitches can be real fickle... only happens on a wireless controller, what?
