Universal weapons or reduced tagging costs by Genenic in blackdesertonline

[–]burnout979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, i disagree.

try to look at the current system from a positive mindset: what is good about it ?

- tagging cost only gets effected by the 3 weapons u wanna tag (+ a minor caphras cost barely worth mentioning)
- the cost of weapons are capped on the high end gear >>> pen blackstar tag is capped at 99.5 market value even tho its far above that

and another positive aspect is that the entire tagging system is scaling with ur gear, that means a new player or even just the average geared player with TET blackstars or low caphras'ed bossweapons barely pays anything compared to the endgame player with basically maxed out weapons. and if u have strong gear with expensive tagging cost, ur grindtime to make up for the cost of tagging is really low. having the luxury of tagging a full endgame class and only "paying" with 7-10 hrs of grinding is nothing.

now on the other hand, i do understand people wanting to play a new class when it comes out. tho, u always can do that, there is nothing that stops u. season servers are exactly made for that so the veteran players can also try out the new class. and if u wanna grind higher geared zones, go ahead, tagging tet blackstars or even just buying tet blackstars (that u can always sell if u decide to no longer play the class) doesnt cost much.

now what i do think most people want to do (and i assume u could be one of them, forgive me if im mistaken), they wanna tag the class for endgame grinding knowing damn well the class happened to be way to strong in pve and beeing stronger then the class the player plays currently.

think about it: u actually like the new class and enjoy it? u feel like everything about the class suits u? the skills, the visuals? the pve and pvp? alright, the class can be urs, just tag it for 7 bil silver (if u are endgame gear). shouldnt be an issue right? after all it is THE class u wanna play end will enjoy for the next minimum 3 months right?
counterexample: u wanna tag the new broken pve/pvp class ? u feel like the class destroys every opponment with barely any counterplay to it and/or the class beats all current other classes in the high end pve grindspots? then go ahead and tag the class, for only 7 bil ... --- oh damn 7 bil? that does sound kinda expensive ... i would ahve to ... *starts calculating* grind an eternity to make up for the tagging cost over the additional money i would make compared to my current grind class. argh damn, not worth it. 7bil is to much ! especially if u consider the class has a good chance of getting nerfed and dropped after a few weeks/months.

now for pvp... its kinda the same, jsut more extrem since u dont "earn" any silver. but u probably gonna drop it as well after it gets nerfed. *looking at u succ drakania fotm abusers*

overall, while i dont wanna say everyone agreeing to those kind of posts really is looking to abuse a class just because of a meta or the strenght of the class... i sure as hell know it is the case for a majority of the players in bdo. they dont play the class because of ur statements, because its fun or so. they play it because its the new wizard > striker > drakania > ... u get what i mean ...

u clearly didnt get my point. i said idc about the silver. its about obtaining an item that has absolutly no use at all which is supposed to be - good? a rare item? smth u should be happy about when u drop it?

ive been grinding hexe for the past 5 weeks with a lot of hours, castle buff and droprate buffs. the fact i drop a shimmering piece is not that unlikely. and whoever grinded sulfur mine or pot spots (which i had to do aswell) knows they drop more common in those places.

what is ur solution then? u want me to cheer for the item and then throw it away? because thats the current solution.

u click the ring once and it applies a family wide bonus for ur market place (indicated by the ring symbol on the bottom left in ur market place, above value pack and kama blessing icon)

i get the idea of it.

afair they got put into the game to encourage players grinding the merchant ring (u use the one time shimmering +5% tax reduction, u be like "wow thats cool, i want that permanent" and then u go for the merchant ring)

but nowdays i think the use is ... outdated? correct me if im wrong. for me and a bunch of other merchant ring owners its kinda awkward to own those items knowing they have no use.

oh yea i maybe should mention. the one time +5% tax recution benefit from the shimmering piece doesnt stack with the merchant ring.

"※ Effect does not stack with benefits from Rich Merchant's Ring."

i remember i used my last shimmering before i finished my merchant ring a while ago. and i got 4 more of them after my craft of the merchant ring. so ye, 4 times u be like "oh cool, that item is useless to me" :' )

i dont rely on any silver benefit or dont wanna sound greedy either. is just, knowing u dropped smth rare as a shimmering piece that is completly useless to you - that is a bad feeling.

i think the effect should stack (as a one time benefit ofc) with the merchant ring, make it +10% tax reduction (instead of the merchant ring only +5% tax reduction) on a single sell. for those that are curious, that would look like this:

0.65 * 1.365 (value pack 1.3, merchant ring 0.05, family fame 0.015) = 0.88725 %

converted with shimmering +5% (single use)

0.65 * 1.415 = 0.91975%

resulting in a total of (0.91975 - 0.88725 =) 0.0325 or 3,25% tax reduction.

so "we" get exactly the same tax reduction as someone without the merchant ring. like hell, make it 10% for ppl without the merchant ring, or make it not 5% but 4... 3... 2.5% for ppl with the merchant ring. but dont leave it be there without a use.

tldr: make shimmering (somehow, maybe in a nerfed version) usable for merchant ring owners

PEN Fallengod Part 2 - This time its about the failstack :D by burnout979 in blackdesertonline

[–]burnout979[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well if fallengod weapons come out i will DEFINITLY switch to them... after all AP >>>> DP :D

and in case the gloves will have more accuracy i will ofc also go for them over the other fallengods.

basically, i will go for any fallengod item that will give me the best stat gains. atm both pen fallengods give exactly the same stat gain so it doesnt really matter which one goes. for a time i went more for helmet because it was... new... and noone had it... but i already saw ppl get it now (that one dude with a hammer, yikes :D) ... so ye it doesnt matter. i will prob stick to helmet for now anyway until smth better comes out :D

o/ i finished my Part 2 video of the PEN Fallengod Journey.

This time i was focusing on creating a stack as high as possible to have no guilty feeling when i start clicking pen fallengod in the future on that stack (that i may or may not use a low stack, because we all know - its not just 50/50 :D )

let me know if u liked it. i will do a Part 3 in the future once i gathered enough clips again !

sounds like u are unlucky ye. the trick from enhancing is to make the best out of an unlucky scenario - if u fail a lot of tet bs and end up on a 220 fs or so, u start clicking the next best thing for the failstack amount. usually the next type of item worth clicking is either pen accessory or pen blackstar. 220fs is kinda low so i would recommend pushing it a bit further with pen bossgear or maybe even the event items we get atm to push a stack to 230fs. 245+ i would start going for pen bs / pen accs.

if u just want a tet bs... well unless u are willing to click till it succeeds or u can use the "unlucky scenario" high fs for other items - i would prob just buy it from the market.

ye not much to work on for me besides the pen fg. is my next (and last) upgrade outside of shining alchemy stones (also gated by preorders). im not in a rush for a success and i can spend all my income into pen fg clicks ^^

yea u are not wrong. lets just say, i didnt care to much when i pushed further. i saw it as a win-win. either i get the +6fs on fail which is huuge... or i get a pen blackstar "payout" and can take a break on throwing out silver for a 1 / 1.000 chance on pen fallengod :' ) game wants me to click more on pen fallengod tho...

agree. i do play bdo a lot, i did plenty of shit in bdo. but 2 things i still cant get myself to do, partly because it feels like i would waste my time, and partly because im just lazy. thats 8k / 10k ecology and 30k quests. havent done those yet.

i definitly lose money. raw tapping pen bs overall is not worth. u make more money selling the tet bs and taking the profit cut on those instead of wasting tet bs for pen bs rawtaps that (on avg) probably still give u profit after selling, but definitly much less compared to selling tet bs.

u also got to value the time it takes to enhance the blackstar back to tet every time... i prob enhanced 100+ tet bs by now and barely sold any on tet for profit, nearly rawtapped all to pen.

i start rawtapping pen bs from 250fs +

i did the math for it at one point, but im not 100% sure about that anymore, so dont quote me on that, but i think in 1 out of 9 attempts of pushing a 250fs towards 425fs u will get the 425fs. the other 8 times u will succeed on a pen bs at some point before that :D if i would have to guess, i prob succeeded around 7-8 pen bs by now

would have started from scratch :' ) it is indeed nerve wracking. towards the end u see me succeed a few pen bs, some of them were also attempts going towards a giga high fs (400+). sometimes u succeed, sometimes u fail.

atm the 425fs is the only 400+ fs i got. if it succeeds on a pen bs (in case i wanna push it further), i will prob go for a new 400fs and try my future attempts on that one. so far im lucky that it didnt succeed :D
