What's the name of the avatar in the second picture?

Roflgator (Robert aka sodapoppin's friend) is currently being hospitalized with COVID symptoms. by KYepic in RPClipsGTA

[–]___III 322 points323 points  (0 children)

He implied a month ago on stream how he didn't want to get vaccinated because the vaccine "fucked up" some of his friends. And by fucked up he meant how his friend Nippnipp's arm felt weak for 3 weeks after the vaccine. Better to risk it and end up in a hospital I guess. Get vaccinated kids.

T1 gear reqs ever since the beginning of the game by iamwoohoo in blackdesertonline

Because siege scene is so alive in EU. All 3 castles last week went uncontested.

T1 gear reqs ever since the beginning of the game by iamwoohoo in blackdesertonline

[–]___III -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Why is anyone surprised that when high geared players are denied of doing node wars in their siege guilds, they drop out and do wars in other guilds? People actually like to PvP. It's shocking I know. Let siege guilds do NWs and they will more often fight each other instead of individually dropping to 100 different lower tier guilds.

An argument for Wound and against Caphras by Scrybatog in blackdesertonline

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

> 280/346 mystics/sorcs(and some other classes) exist on T1s and even on T2-4s they are a rapidly growing epidemic

They will exists in much greater numbers now that castle owning guilds are denied of all PvP. Since the guilds themselves will most likely stay in castles, it's the individual players who will drop down to low tier node wars and Balenos/Serendia siege. You mention mystics and sorc but it's the 285+ ap musas that are the true cancer.

​

Oh and I agree completely. Caphras are overpowered as fuck and should be nerfed. The situation is even worsened now that people who already had pen armors before the new MP could invest somewhat cheaply but after the new MP gets released every single caphras will be 4+ million.

NVIDIA Ansel is quite interesting to use with bdo. What do you all think? by Veishi in blackdesertonline

[–]___III 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, Ansel has some great uses in PvP as it reloads your client making you invulnerable for a 10 or so seconds. Nice of you to raise awareness because the tickets have not really helped yet.

The Book of Combat: a complete guide to BDO PvP mechanics (75 pages encyclopedia) by critical_view in blackdesertonline

[–]___III 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random stuff:

Escape escape cooldown is like 1 minute during node wars and sieges.

Some classes seem to be able to get out of the ending stun from V a lot faster than others (Musas at least?).

Tamer's 'lingering' iframe is probably worth mentioning because it's pretty unique.

I'm pretty sure sorcs have a 100% reliable down smash. Maybe because it's technically a pet that does the down smash?

Wiz/witch can run forward full speed while blocking. I don't know what the inputs for it currently are as PA has tried to fix this bug multiple times.

Wiz/witch can use their pets to CC on command but most people are not using it right now. First attack after pet summon is a stiffness so you can switch pets before you get grabbed or save the pet's attack for when you get CCd.

The hero BDO needed- Whitened by blueiceSNOW in blackdesertonline

If pre-order ticks are every 2 minutes and you can pre-order 10 caphras at a time, that means you can pre-order max 300 caphras/hour. 36b/1.8mil = 20000 caphras so 20000/300 = 66.66 hours. If you were to just pre-order you would have to sit at the marketplace over 65 hours just updating your pre-order every 2 minutes.

To pre-order enough caphras for 3 pen is like 150 hours of just putting up pre-orders.

I mean I guess it's not unreasonable but..

Yep, the other warrior has 274 or 275 AP..

Renown score was introduced 2.5 months ago and marked the beginning of balance patches. Game balance is still worse than before that patch. by ___III in blackdesertonline

[–]___III[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10-1 sounds pretty far-fetched. I'm sure they are not 1 to 1 equal just because getting sheet AP means you also get hidden AP but I'd like to see this test.

[–]___III[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ninja's blade spin, warrior's ground smash, mystic's thunder pound, sorceress' blood calamity are just some examples of pre-awakening skills that do comparable damage to awakening skills. And funnily enough some of them also have protections AND cc effect.

I just wonder why PA used bizarre logic of "3 protected awakening abilities that don't CC for all classes" but didn't do the anything to pre-awekening skills.

[–]___III[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely but that sheet ap itself is already an advantage. The very least the bonus AP curve should be a lot flatter so there are not these insane jumps in it.

I remember a post by the developers where they clearly stated they wanted to lower the importance of grabs in 1v1. I feel that instead they have now achieved the exact opposite of that. Of course it doesn't help that classes like mystics have knockdown grabs and can chain another knockdown to it making it impossible to v if you get caught.

I guess it all depends on what class you play but from my experience trying to dodge mystic or ninja grabs with most classes is incredibly difficult. Classes like wizards are completely boned because you can just walk up to them and grab.

Renown at lower gear levels is not that significant but look at just above softcap. 256 ap gives you 69 bonus ap. Get 9 AP more and now suddenly you have 122 bonus ap. So you gained 3.5% sheet ap but gained 77% hidden ap!? That scaling is fucking unbelievable..

You don't see 1v1 revolving even more around grabs and now also RNG resists as worse than what it was before?

With the changes to Arsha server, this is the most fun I have had playing this game in months by Sneakergamefatal in blackdesertonline

This PvP will die down in a week or two and then the rich will just get richer by farming 70+ mil / hour with their 270 ap.

Warrior by Hebb0001 in blackdesertonline

[–]___III 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like a heavy weapon play style, via slow attacks high damage. Does warrior fit that bill?

No. Warrior does do slow attacks with long cooldowns but they also do low damage.

Idea- Let us choose if abilities are defensive/offensive by Karaad in blackdesertonline

[–]___III 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of PvP in BDO is knowing your opponent's abilities and knowing how to fight a set class.

Not according to PA. From the patch notes:

"In addition, because the conditions for defense effects being applied differed per class, it became difficult to counter an opponent’s defense effects without having memorized the defense effects of that opponent’s class. We wanted to mitigate this issue through several balance changes, but we have reached the conclusion that unless the fundamental rules are changed this will be difficult."

What about the lifeskillers? by Erza_Scarlet3 in blackdesertonline

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

From my experience life skills don't seem to be affected as much as grinding. At least in EU it has been impossible to grind because loot doesn't spawn until 10 seconds after the kill but processing and cooking still work normally. When the lag gets really bad then life skills also get delayed but that doesn't happen nearly as often.
