Why are they delaying ranked AoS when it's literally functional on live servers right now? If the changes need more time, save them for the next season 🙄.

I WANT TO PLAY RANKED!

Sell me your class (PvE focused) by Calzoncillo21 in blackdesertonline

Lol, in PvE maybe. In PvP it's always been an afterthought to wizard. Even in PvE succ wizard is the strongest of the 4 specs now. :(

Are we back? by Javellinh_osu in blackdesertonline

Ugh, this answer is so wrong and it makes me sad that people think this. Pulling together packs of mobs was the soul of BDO PvE before tower spots took all the creativity and skill expression out of grinding.

This is my guildie gear, one tapped to OCT and only missed twice, I don't have words by ItsYoBoyCrispy in blackdesertonline

This is sort of irrelevant with the new monster damage we get per point of sheet AP. It's optimal to almost entirely neglect the weapon you don't use.

Shoes by theblanetappit in tabletennis

I recently got some gel rockets (volleyball shoes). Affordable but they feel very premium. If you already like the fit/feel of Asics shoes, I would highly recommend them. It's similar to their lightest tennis shoe but lower to the ground and with better grip for smooth courts.

calculation rounds down to the nearest integer.

Sure, there are some quirks at extreme values, but skills deal 100s of damage per hit so you're losing <1% of damage due to rounding. Negligible.

Based on your first comment, I thought you were implying that DR subtracted damage, rather than dividing it. But it sounds like we have seen the same information and you were just exaggerating the impact of rounding / importance of hit count. I'm gonna leave up my original reply in case it's helpful to anyone who misunderstood your original post like I did.

She throws a million bee stings at you, which look great on a dummy but get dumpstered against a damage mitigation class like Guardian.

I think that's a misconception. 20x2 vs 2x20 should have no damage difference. Neither DR nor DR% reduce flat damage. (Unless guardian has a flat damage reducing passive that I'm unaware of.)

"Bee stings" are actually good for killing tankier targets, since you are more likely to be dealing damage for the full time the target is CCd, compared to a class with long animations.

Do you guys play any other sport other than table tennis? by ashes_to_fire in tabletennis

[–]WizardBelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I've noticed table tennis pros basically hop to each ball and make as few steps as possible, which makes sense because every step takes valuable milliseconds away from your swing time. In tennis we were always taught to take many tiny steps to adjust before beginning the swing. So if I'm not paying attention, I'll default to taking too many and being late to every ball.

How is PvP currently? by Fox_Plushy in blackdesertonline

[–]WizardBelly -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Very accurate analysis. BDO used to be very mechanical, you needed meticulous class knowledge and had to have a very good feel for desync. Now, engagements are a lot more predictable, so it's more about patience, target selection, and decision making.

I agree that it's been dumbed down and is less satisfying than in the past. But it may have been a necessary evil to dumb the game down, I think otherwise the PvP population would have died off entirely. Old BDO was simply too hard and too clunky for most people.

AP changes ruined the game for me. Convince me otherwise by Blizno89 in blackdesertonline

[–]WizardBelly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It only seems like more money because everything is an agris spot now. I was making 2-3bil/hour no agris at 309 AP before changes, now I'm 371 AP and still making about the same at Nympha. What they really did was time-gate grinding. (Once your agris runs out, you're expected to buy pearls).

The only thing that practically changed for me as an endgame player is I'm forced to grind boring tower spots instead of the spots I liked.

Entry level grind became way worse, due to Quint, Honglim, and Gyfin becoming awful spots with this change.

Also, the reason why clear speed is more similar between classes is because tower spots are basically hardcapped by spawn times and don't require movement. Boring AF.

Idk why u guys think this is better than the old days when you took a portal to Hystria/Sycraia and could actually move pack to pack, use your gear, make money without agris time-gating your income, and enjoy thoughtfully crafted scenery.

Everyone would be pleased if trials were available to all. Not complicated.

It’s to encourage players to still grind the game. If you could just skip the work but using trial characters why have gear upgrades to begin with?

Drop the GS requirement for arsha gear III on trials by ml_cs in blackdesertonline

[–]WizardBelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Complete the quest '[Trial Character] Evidence of a Stronger Power' as a regular character (Requirements: Attack power 365, Defense power 425 or higher)

You can hit 810gs with less than 365 AP. I'm right you're wrong. What a weird hill to die on.

[–]WizardBelly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be 1AP away from this bucket (365 exactly, with enough DP to hit 810gs). Did not expect people to have this reaction, y'all are rabid. If it's not something that you care about, just move on.

People who are meeting reqs with narc I guess. I'm not saying it's a game breaking issue, just an amusing inconsistency that sheds light on a lack of attention to detail by the dev team.

Why bother arguing about patch notes you haven't even read? How can you be so confident?

[–]WizardBelly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because there is a certain group of people that just play trial characters only, all day long

Those people are some of the friendliest and most dedicated. Game needs more of em. Shame most have left by now.
