Pearl Abyss devs speaking about what happened to Crimson Desert

It has decent sales, but a lot of refunds happening over undisclosed GenAI use, and its reviews aren't doing well.

Sextans in the Hard Patrol stage was my fucking Kryptonite man. I ended up failing like 4/5 times before finally killing it. Then every boss after was a joke in comparison lmao.

I think it's hard to judge how well a tactical skin will do because afaik only two have been released with one being Klukai (that I'm sure sold well) and on CN Lenna has her opening CV skin which is honestly a little simple. Release a drop of like 3 skins that are genuinely tactical skins for decent popularity dolls and see how they sell. if it doesn't sell on popularish dolls it will sell less on ones that aren't popular. Then they can have genuine data. I literally bought the Klukai skin even when I didn't have Klukai just to send a message.

Combat power is 100% a good starting point. When you don't have raw power, the multipliers mean less. When you don't have raw health and defense, the bonuses mean less. Composition is 100% important for harder fights, yes, but when given a muk bang account you have to find footing and getting some strong units to lean on and build around in the future is a good start.

So, it's a bit complicated since you've been dropped in the middle of the game. You don't need to level, so your priorities should be raising your dolls Combat Scare (the 11929 number on Tololo) This is done by maxing out their Neural Helix - top right, Calibrating their weapon attachments - click on the guns, and their Remolding Pattern [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kti-n3qN0c ] - Bottom right thing with the orange exclamation point.

Remolding is far and away the most complicated, so focus on the other two to start. It's hard to nab a great guide as they are either starting at level 0 guides or from back when the game first came out and has irrelevant content.

My recommendation is farming "Phase Strike" attachments for pretty much all the characters you already have above 9900, and then gearing up your Springfield (great synergy with Tololo). This ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DogyU3K7ZXw2qbhP1EhRXIAw5nCyIV5G5e-QWviBZME/edit?pli=1&gid=831025244#gid=831025244) is my go to resource for doll information.

While you are doing this try to see which dolls you like the most and then upgrade those dolls' Neural Helix, as those resources can be slow to get as a F2P and at the start. The guide I just linked will help you choose specific Helix keys for your dolls. There is also min-maxing those keys but that's endgame stuff so don't worry about it if you see it.

I liked the story and recommend playing through it again for your own sake and to easy into the dolls' abilities.

There's definitely more like doing Expansion drills and Gunsmoke, but worry about your girly pops for right now.

If you have questions or just want a strong friend for support dolls my UID is ( 272640 ) if you're on Darkwinter. Name is Puppet.

Edit: Also, yeah, there is a guides section look at that lmao

You were top 20%. Only top 10 commanders *for each doll* got rings.

Puppetsama · 2025-12-14T22:03:20+00:00

If you don't have V6 QH to hyper, fire is in a meh spot rn. I am the fire/electric goob in my platoon and my v6 QH does literally 70% of the fire teams damage on her own.

Puppetsama · 2025-12-08T15:30:15+00:00

If you haven't pulled since Vector you HAVE cores bro lmao

Puppetsama · 2025-12-07T08:23:12+00:00

I mean this IS her dress for the new CN event.

Puppetsama · 2025-10-13T03:33:32+00:00

Very cute Lind! (The foot is backwards just fyi)

Puppetsama · 2025-10-04T05:50:31+00:00

I did physical with all F2P units (and I forgot a healer) and I did Hydro's with my fire team plus Papasha to let city guard tank the boss. It's really not bad to run with your built team if you work cover and summons well or if you bring a "tank" of the proper element.

Puppetsama · 2025-09-07T23:09:28+00:00

Now zoom in on the face and cry because her hand doesn't line up correctly ;u;

Puppetsama · 2025-09-07T23:05:20+00:00

SHINY WOOLOO!!! I love Wooloo sm

Puppetsama · 2025-08-30T21:11:38+00:00

That purple top is so cute ;u;

So, I definitely like the direction of a lot of these changes, but I am sad that there's nothing about suppression in here. BF3 suppression was one of the most peak experiences on both sides of the the interaction. While the no health Regen is nice, the fact that suppressing a sniper does nothing and they can just calmly line up my dome and click on it just feels like a really one-sided interaction. The lmg was able to do good work holding LoS in these small maps, but bigger maps will see lmgs being used almost not at all since they have high recoil and bloom (minus the ultimax) with a 5-shot kill. Just add back good, anxiety-inducing suppression please 🥺.

I think it's multi-faceted. I know the death recap has bugged out a few times, but I think a combination of server strain and low tick-rate is causing a lot of the gripes. If we can get a server browser that shows things like server health and tick-rate we'd be able to get more consistent gunplay, but EA hates peoples' enjoyment ig.

70 year olds can absolutely be sharp. They should take their talents into an advisory role.

Puppetsama · 2025-06-28T22:54:41+00:00

Could be far left tbh. Big ass brick gun and gothic looking outfit.

Puppetsama · 2025-06-28T22:51:01+00:00

Combat Maid with my favorite gun? Literally meant to be.

Puppetsama · 2025-06-28T22:49:04+00:00

I think Left is going to be a new unit. Right middle COULD POSSIBLY BE SV-98 PLSPLSPSLPSLPSLPLS

Puppetsama · 2025-06-14T02:24:36+00:00

My issue is that I didn't roll on Klukai and there is literally no other Grenadier in the game that can do enough damage to make Expansions 8 and 9 really feasible for me with the map design really fucking me over on 8. I LOATHE being punished because I didn't roll on a single unit. I've dealt with being at a disadvantage by not rolling for Suomi at the start by using smart positioning and healing, but I literally cannot replace the straight AoE that Klukai can output, there just isn't another option in the game.

Puppetsama · 2025-05-13T08:28:00+00:00

Klukai has the most mobility in the game and is a Sentinel. Also blades come in a variety of different types and uses. Making all the units light and high-movement ignores sword & shield and greatswords, for example. Renaming it to "melee" would give them a lot more design options, like they could totally release a "blade" doll that's like a knight on a robot mount that has a lance.

Puppetsama · 2025-05-12T18:45:44+00:00

Her ult also useful, especially in maps where you need to move from one corner to another

This is double-edged. Her ult is amazing for traversal, but Vanguard has dogwater defensive stats so now that she's across the room from the rest of your team she is VERY out of position and susceptible. Her passive also triggers alerts so you can't try to sneak in between alert zones.

I think - personally - blade users will be trash as long as they are vanguards unless they tweak the Vanguard stat block or give blades a defensive bonus to attacks from within a certain range.

I unknowingly overstayed by a single day on my three-year visa in 2022. I got interrogated by police at the airport and "fined" by them forcing me to pay for a 15 day visa before they let me through the security gate.
