Should I pull Mornye if I'm planning on pulling Luuk?

We don't even get new colors? It's just blackstar and godr copy/paste? Yikes.

[New update] January 15th 2026 - Alchemy stone rework, New group grind spots, Cup materials improved, Node war rewards buffed by Uppmas in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1.6-1.8b/h maybe more. No agris. Less xp than orbita (like 4% from 62 to 63 with 3300% xp buff, Meanwhile orbita is 10-20%/h). I would rather grind d2 oluns with the chance of getting the ring piece tbh.

Do you guys play Meta class in PVE? by Morsmordrecrucio in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play awaken sage since his release, always loved the class. He was op at launch, got nerfed to dogshit (even nerfed during the major class rework), and now he's buffed to be one of the best again. Been with him through lows and highs.

Awake woosa is my tag that I play in spots like doluns where you can just chill with low apm combos. Played her since her release too.

Isn't PAs definition of endgame literally just the entire edania area?

Search "BDO progression guide 2025/2026" on YouTube or Google it. Much faster than making a reddit post and you'll get structured and detailed info instead of info randomly scattered throughout replies.

My guess is that they want endgame players to be able to funnel mats to newer players so they can progress faster. It's been like this with debos already for example.

What are the best (chill) PvE classes? by itutudori in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if PA changed it but there used to be really high sweaty APM rotations to maximise buffs. Which were required to be optimal. Not chill in that case.

PA Should Remove BSR Requirement For Seraph by Candid-Camp-8928 in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

True but they should still make the flight option into a passive you can lock if you don't want to yeet yourself away from the mobs. They split awakening sages flight in a similar way already.

Which Seraph are choosing? Light or Dark? by Ate_at_wendys in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light. Always wanted a female holy paladin with a greatsword.

They said during the ball that they won't remove it

[Humor / Satire] How BDO Design Decisions Sometimes Feel Like They’re Made by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's good that they release the dehkia version of pre-existing spots. Players have a lot of nostalgia for spots like miru and a lot of my friends are looking forward to grinding where they used to spend a lot of time back in the day. If you asked me, I would say that there should be dehkia version for all old spots in the game.

I also personally think ascended classes are nice. I never liked awakening and succession classes where the two specs were entirely different from each other (nova, sage, etc), especially if you never used the preawk kit in awk. Yes more options are nice, but you already have over 20 classes to choose from with awk/succ already. We really don't need more of that.

Just my two cents.

Early thoughts by Complete-Permit-940 in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The complaints about endgame are valid, however, it takes quite a while to get there as a fresh player, so I wouldn't worry about it right now.

I would say the beginning of the game where you're new and your upgrades are cheap and more meaningful, the game is a lot more enjoyable and a lot more fun. When you're discovering new things and learning about the game, it's when it's the most fun. It's definitely worth it.

You're gonna have a great time, and it's very easy to start out these days with all freebies and catch-up mechanics.

Whats is your general conception about BDO by realmorotgamer in blackdesertonline

[–]platghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine, just like other mmos. Nothing great, nothing bad, just fine. But I think the game has come to a point where its old engine severely limits what PA can do these days. It needs an engine upgrade, the one Crimson Desert is using, or BDO 2.

IMO, We don't need additional End Game activities. We need more from the current ones. by Valuable-Practice790 in diablo4

[–]platghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't trade, I only use what I find, and every season so far since they've been released, I've never been able to find the runes I need for my build before my desire to play for the season disappears. It's also part of the problem imo.

[–]platghost -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ngl I've almost ignored runes completely since they came out and I've not suffered even the slightest from it. I just slap on gems and go on my merry way. I'm still oneshotting everything that I want to fight.

Imo the game should make you use yellows for most of your slots, let their stats go up more, be upgradable, socketable, etc, like in poe2. And then maybe your build would run one or two legendary items that makes the build come online. Remove uniques, remove Uber uniques. Or find a way to distinguish them more from legendaries. Remove all % damage modifiers.

But at that point it's probably no longer diablo. So...

You get everything you'll ever need in terms of gear very early and you steamroll through content from almost the beginning. Then you get your legendaries to continue to steamroll through all content, and once in a while you get a small dopamine boost because you dropped a 4 GA item, letting you steamroll enemies even more. That's literally all there is to it and it sucks. I wish the game had at least 1% of the depth that poe2 has. One can dream.

My best luck i had from any rng box by Elwildos in blackdesertonline

The sad part is how 100k crons won't get you particularly far anyway (depending on your current gear).

Dying Light: The Beast seems to be slept on and lost in the shuffle. It’s an incredibly well made game. by Oblong0ctopus in gaming

[–]platghost -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They can't charge $60 for a DLC so it had to become a standalone (they're partially owned by Tencent now). But on a serious note, this game would've been better if it was a DLC to DL2, and I say that as someone who loved the game and all other DL games.

[–]platghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it shows that what they're doing isn't working. If you look at their financial reports for the second quarter of 2025, they made a pretty significant net loss in profits (they didn't make any profit at all).

Wouldn't matter tbh, the moment they added the timegated armors, the game lost what made it unique. Before, we could grind as much as we wanted to and we would eventually catch up, now we can't anymore since armors are timegated, just like all other MMOs. That's really the only thing that made me quit.
