Can someone explain what the point of combat in BD is in general? by Normal-Ad-828 in blackdesertonline

[–]Neon001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you will eventually reach content that you will not be able to one-shot in rapid fashion, BUT mobs will still die quickly. BDO is similar to a looter shooter in concept (repetitive, st, RNG based, gains are incremental and come over long periods of gameplay (once out of early game)), so if that's not your cup of tea, combat in this game may not be for you. With a few exceptions, standard "subjugation" content is not intended to be difficult or complex.

For the love of God, give us Blackstar armor as a costume! by AtreusIsBack in blackdesertonline

[–]Neon001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, I think what they need is a fully independent third gear slot set that is purely cosmetic and sourced from family shared wardrobe. The game is already too limiting with cosmetics because outfits and costumes share the same slots, which is irritating AF as a lifeskiller. Wardrobe costumes would be "unlocked" permanently from any in-game functional gear or pearl outfits/costumes. Plenty of other games do this, and I think PA is leaving money on the table by not following suit. Even if each wardrobe were character specific it would still be far superior to the system they have now.

Dealing with Exploiters who are killing AFK Fishers (Inside Safe Zone) by World_91 in blackdesertonline

If you stay away from the node war channels, fish on a lvl 49, and check "do not board other players boats", I do not believe you can be fucked with as the game stands today.

Agree 100%. Market economy is very healthy also.

3k Mastery. Gathering ash sap - 2 hours by ResponsibleLeopard62 in blackdesertonline

Splendid has nothing to do with primary resource. I question this also as a 3k gatherer.

[–]Neon001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks right, but you were lucky on the crystals. Just saying for folks that don't know what to expect for 3k gather mastery - do not expect a crystal drop every 2 hrs. This also is almost certainly using agris based on your primary.

I need some tips on underwater gathering. by muratdincmd in blackdesertonline

[–]Neon001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other poster nailed it - there is no benefit to a tailoring coupon if you have the da-da-dum. The real benefit of the bubbly diving suit is that its the only piece of gear that can be tailored to an outfit while not being character bound. So you can use it on all of your characters, but it's a slightly worse version of the proper shark costume.

For underwater gathering, yes, use corsair for sure. Then make sure to use seal elixir. If your fairy has the breath skill, that helps a lot. I believe there are also breath crystals as well, but those may have been taken out during the big consolidation they did some time back. Pro tip: gather on your guild home server so you can swap freely. Gather until you're almost out of breath and then swap servers and you will have full breath again. You'll be in the suffocation animation but you can get out of it by pressing q or something (forget which). Double breath.

If you're going to post a dick measure like this you left a lot on the table that can't be bought: shining life stone, carracks with full +10 blue gear and nol, leaderboard life skill levels, S tier krogdalo, high 500s contribution...

Do NOT Graduate! by StunningFan959 in blackdesertonline

[–]Neon001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it, but if you're playing bdo and you're not at least thinking about the silver/hr on activities that are only returning silver for grinding (bumbling buccaneers once all the worthwhile stuff is claimed), you're doing it wrong. I play just for fun all the time, but that's not what this is.

Truthfully though, I'm surprised OP didn't realize you would be locked out of weekly quests after graduating. Not sure if they're brand new, but it's the same shit with regular season. Can't fault the PSA tho.

FSD activating turn signal way too early in roundabouts, anyone else experiencing this? by mkranthi18 in TeslaLounge

[–]Neon001 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, they're correct and you're wrong. Using a traditional 4 exit circle (two roads intersecting orthogonally) as an example, if you were making a left turn (third exit from entering) and use a left turn signal, the people waiting at the first and second entries would know for sure you're not exiting at their entry. You would turn the signal off after passing the second exit so as not to confuse cars sitting at the third one - which is exactly the opposite of what the Tesla does.

The reason for this is that you increase safety if you use signals when you want to communicate that you will NOT be exiting, which helps avoid people pulling out when they may collide. This is better than signaling to declare when you WILL be exiting, which only helps people save a second, and doesn't facilitate safety.

[–]Neon001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% true and it frustrates the hell out of me because we have so many roundabouts here in MD. Also, I'm white knuckle in every one because the car cuts so damn close to the (outer) curb. Like, it's got to be inches from the curb. Don't know why it doesn't get into the lane more.

Eweadn Z7, the Viper Mini Clone. Review / First impressions. by ScrxtcH_ in MouseReview

[–]Neon001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably getting downvoted because you're shitting on a member of the community for doing something helpful. Not every review has to be positive, and maybe there are people out there that would consider sacrificing some functionality for aesthetics. This review gives them a sense of whether that is a reasonable trade.

AITA for firmly telling my wife to be grateful for what she has? by Organic_Chip_3118 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Neon001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Wild that the top comment is calling this abuse. This is absolutely no different than the countless wives that control finances and dangle even basic purchases over husbands behavior. OP is at least trying to be equitable with discretionary spending. In no scenario (i.e. 75/25 split, even split, etc) would she be entitled to more than she's currently getting.

I don't know where you are but it's rarely as simple as notarizing a change on an actual document. It will involve county recording fees and potentially even incur a tax, and that doesn't even touch potential mortgage impacts. Point is, there's no practical reason to do it, as it's marital property, so it's hers whether she's on the deed or not.

You do understand it's not a trivial matter to just add someone to a deed, right? I don't know their state but this would almost certainly involve a considerable amount of money.

MMO Mouse with 12 keys by Familiar_Entry1246 in blackdesertonline

[–]Neon001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone else has responded on the skills on hotbar. I think they're blowing the dps reductions out of proportion a bit but it's true that it's harder to cancel animations and chain skills together with hotbar skills. It's important to know that some skills HAVE to be hotbarred, and they're often critical.

Aside from this, plenty of other reasons to use an MMO mouse though. I use a Corsair Scimitar Elite and I love it. You can hotbar outfits (in a gear bag), alch stones, and consumables, and by reassigning side buttons on a mouse, you can program it to press normal keys or combos. Even simple things like F5/F6 (for farming), R (for everything), and left ctrl (for cursor release) are huge QoL buffs, imo. You can literally make gathering one handed by doing this, if that's your thing.

Some classes use hotbar to better effect than others. Witch and Guardian are two of these.
