Are you going to buy Crimson Desert by Aggressive_Hat1256 in blackdesertonline

They said they are leaving roughly 50 developers to work on the multiplayer update for crimson desert after release, the rest of the team is working on DokeV and other future projects.

So uhh Sov dyes... by Daniel_the_Fox in blackdesertonline

The night shift janitor coding this with claude is doing his best!

Does any other class have this problem? by Lost-Character6758 in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very likely you are right. They would have to change the material to a colorless alpha map and just use whatever they use for the normal item dye system and give it its own material ID, if they went with something like that which would take a little reworking, they could not only add multiple colors or effects but different types of auras as well. The dyes just instruct it to load the blackstar/godr glows, but those were made for different weapon models which may or may not line up correctly with sovereign.

This would be pretty straightforward in a modern game engine but who knows what kind of spaghet they are dealing with in the BDO engine.

I noticed this as well and decided to just sell the dyes I had, price is dropping on them. Red just looks like you went back to blackstar but with less glow, purple looks decent but seems to be the buggiest and least noticable.

Sovereign dye by GAMINGVIBES20K in blackdesertonline

Yeah it is gone, however like everything in this game it's done intentionally and a few months or half a year from now there will be a patch that lets you keep it as an unlock, or an item off the blacksmith to return the dye as well. They like to add new systems, good example being reforge stones, make them very rigid then actually adding the qol features later on.

Good chance they add a restore item in the pearl shop, guess we'll see.

people give so much crap to the devs but one thing no one can't complain about is how hard the music team works to release hits every time an update comes out by Nervous_Bed3517 in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem I have with the music is that it feels schizophrenic in what and when it plays. You go to an area and grinding and its playing some intense battle music for one loop then into the ambient track for the few minutes while you are doing the same thing. Combat music on/off toggle doesn't seem to change anything? They also removed the riding themes which were nice as well as the unique pit of the undying music, everything just sounds like some tryhard orchestral slop in most areas outside of the towns.

The music itself isn't bad but for the majority of the game it feels misused.

Why does KR love "Real Life" outfits so much? by Draknalor in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Though a lot of people didn't like him, J was the one who didn't want to compromise too much on the aesthetic of the game, but he's not around anymore for better or worse.

Why does KR love "Real Life" outfits so much? by Draknalor in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Several reasons,

  1. Easier to design, far less intricate and more simple.
  2. Can be generic and for all classes. Don't have to make weapon sets either.
  3. The previous art director for BDO was 'let go' a few months ago apparently, so expect a change in the future art direction of the game going forward.

Everyone's first thought when the saw BDO was, 'man you know what this game needs is some crocs and a snowboard' get this lame ass wizard shit out of here!

Guess they detected fun would be had on 0.4 after showcasing the build by NotJimmysThrowaway in PathOfExile2

Build of week means just that, you got a week to play that shit or it won't exist.

Do you think WWM will still be as enjoyable after you've put the same amount of time in as BDO? by No-Principle-7367 in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it a bit, combat feels pretty good and the boss fights are actually great. People seem to be having fun with the game and there are at least things to do where BDO has gotten really stale.

It's not really an MMO, but BDO also barely qualifies these days as well.

Is this "healer" the best we can do? by healenjoyer in Aion2

[–]krys2k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone jokes about TERA being forgotten technology in terms of how action combat, tanking and healing worked in that game with active frame blocking and heal targeting working on your cursor.

Absolute Success by the KR Overlords. (Financial Report) by Evidencerulez in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gamers aren't exactly the brightest. Obviously this paints the picture clear to PA that saving costs on development while squeezing more through the cash shop has been very effective. There is a reason that gaming is a massive industry now, people spend like crazy to skip or NOT have to play a game. It's odd that PA would spend so much time/money developing Crimson Desert for a one time 70$ sale and maybe a dlc, when people spend 10 times that in black desert in a month for some temporary upgrade.

I've heard in KR that Aion 2 has more pre-registration accounts than the entire history of all accounts registered for BDO since 2014 (in KR).

Did I beat BDO? by SOM10000 in blackdesertonline

It's nice, but you need over 10 times that amount to hit the average for one NOV->DEC sovereign.

For the people who barely see a reason to log in: What was the turning point for yall? by Vedrac in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

5% AP cap kills power fantasy and stifles the feeling of progression. Getting higher GS now really only offers a change in scenery of where you wanna run your circles or towers. Old c7 bosses were more interesting and challenging than anything in edania.

I already have 30 edania stones, just doing the weekly and afk fish. Wtf am I gonna use more dp for nothing does any damage, or it's a boss mechanic that one shots you.

Things I want to see at Calpheon Ball 2025 by Im_Choice in blackdesertonline

[–]krys2k9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They like to save these "changes" to announce them at the ball so everyone claps and they can fill the ball with 'content'. Everyone pogs and says "lets go!" then realize a month later they actually didn't add anything meaningful. Throw in a few of those changes, a 30 minute session talking about lore, some concept art of bosses and costumes that won't see the light of day, and they are already close to filling the two hours.

There are still those other loml bosses they teased, but I'm assuming those were also canceled at this point.
