My honest review on Black Desert Online. I have put in tens of thousands of hours into this game in total and have recently come back to it playing it almost every day now for a few months. I feel I have a pretty solid grasp on how the game has evolved now and ready to give my review on the game.
I plan on posting more regular BDO content on the following channel (brand new): @KanonBDO

Streaming bdo regularly @ twitch.tv/kanonxo - there was an audio dupe in the lifeskill section, sorry about that, little editing mishap
i disagree, you can just grind and buy things off people who enchant so gg ez
@@SoMuch_AP How much AP/DP you buy? If u buy until 750gs good for you
After playing BDO a couple of years ago as a controller-Andy, I found it intimidating to get back into, I relearned swtor in my sleep, this video helps, your perspective shows me what the game has to offer without me having to try to relearn it just to find out what it can offer me and motivates me to want to retry the game again the in the future, like and subscribed, thank you sir.
Game is still heavily Pay to Win. Pearly Abyss should allow players to earn TET Gear in Dungeons without having to pay money or grind for months. Hence FF14 and WoW will always be the better MMOs.
May i get an unban, from stream?
Great video. Should be good to point out that in terms of early game confusion, PA already have addressed that they know it is a problem and they are slowly trying to fix everything on that matter. They have already released some features to help new players like the newbie bag and stuff like that and they specifically mentioned that they are working on reducing the cluster of items you get.
I'm coming over from Lost Ark and I'm glad this is being addressed. The newbie bag has already been a lifesaver as I've loaded up storages in multiple towns because I know from Lost Ark I'll destroy something and it turns out it's a super important enhancement item worth lots of currency.
Best review by far, If i want to explain the game to a friend this is the video ill send them! Awesome as always Kanon
Imagine finally getting to another AP Bracket but then get stuck at the same grind spot over and over again #OrcCamp4life
Excellent explanations and depth of detail, well spoken and perectly delivered. Top tier content as usual from Kanon.
Good video! I played BDO for 2-3 years when it came out and had a blast with node wars and castle sieges. Im ashamed I did spend roughly 2500 euros on the game though. I have never spent a single penny on any F2P/P2W game before or after.
Thank you for making it possible for free players to have a meaningful experience.
I would say it is worth it, i've never spent money on a video game and bdo made it.
great overview kanon, can tell how much time you put into the video/script 😄
As a new player, I think this is like a research game just to understand the basic progression and it's quite overwhelming. Nonetheless, I would still be planning to play it for a long time since the combat is like none other. And also the upcoming updates will givin out more free stuffs so it's a worthwhile imo.
While I understand that the BDO "thing" is PVP, a dungeon with some bosses where you chould flex your PVE skills whould be awsome.
Maybe it's because I'm an ex Tera player, but the ation combat always leaves me with the desire for more of a real sense of danger and a huge payout that requires focus and teamwork.
World bosses don't really do it for me.
I'm not asking for 25 man raids, just a 3-5 person dungeon with stuff (optional or not, maybe something life skill related) to do and stuff to kill and ofc boss fights.
I like what they did with the new region boss challenge, I think it is a step in the right direction, IMO.
Grinding is fun but I don't really feel in danger in any point, not after I spent 30 hours on a Spot because I need silver or a specific drop.
I need that rush and with such a combat system it's a shame.
Great video Kanon, keep up the good work man
also the fact that they keep releasing new regions, i think maybe 3 in the last year and they never try to charge you money for the expansion is so cool
-Mountain of eternal winter, land of the morning light and ulukita in just 1 year
Because they are charging you 40 to 50 usd a month for the time based buffs
@@Tory-JJ i dont use value pack , old moon book or kama buff xD
you don't need any of the buffs, you can get a value pack for free for 2800 loyalties if you want to sell your stuff on the market but the other buffs are not a big deal at all@@Tory-JJ
@@galacticaturkey88 yep, they are expensive, but they dont feel mandatory. if it was all 1 pack for 15 dollar a month i would buy them, but like this? no
Feels like they are all targeted at people which go crazy when they lose out on some small efficiency
Why would they need to charge you money for it when 1 outfit costs as much as an expansion? On top of this you have to pay more than a basic sub fee to remain viable with their buffs that keep your grinding optimal.. THEY DONT NEED TO CHARGE YOU lol
This was an amazing review, you have a very pleasant way of talking as well. Subbed.
Agreed 100% that the random items and inventory needs to be refined. Everytime I get the itch to play this game again, I look at the inventory and just decide not to play. I get that that's a small thing, but small inconveniences like that are annoying, especially when it's a system that you have to interact with very often, like the character inventory.
The pessimist in me thinks that the devs haven't fixed this on purpose, as a way to get people to buy inventory space so that they don't have to worry about the inconvenience of maintaining inventory space.
They need to condense everything into a few essential items
great video man ! keep up the hard work G
As relatively new player eho played the game for a few weeks and decided to take a break. I 100% relate to this video.
Awesome review ! For me I think vindictus(mabinogi heroes) is deffinitly the best pve experience I ever had and for pvp it is aion.
Sadly both giga dead .
Damn played vindictus back in the day, had a good time
I think Tera in its early days was the gold standard for action MMO combat. Key input starts to make it feel less like a MMO, imo.
I think that's why people love bdo so much tho almost plays like a fighting game
@@theblackishboy1105 Maybe. Just isn't interesting to me I guess. I have been playing MMOs since the late 90s though.
Thanks for the video. I was considering starting the game but i think i'll change my mind.
positive and insightful review compared to others, great job Kanon 👍
Well put together and explained
The only thing I really don’t like is the lack of group content. It’s more of a solo game you play alongside others. I’ve been through several guilds and they mostly afk or prefer solo. In a way, that’s nice because you avoid dealing with potential toxic players (and a lot of the veteran bdo players are toxic af). Still, it’s an mmo. Miss being part of an online community. Classes don’t have a role, it’s kind of wacky. It morphed from pvp to…whatever it is now. So you’re not really “needed” in a group for class skills, just your playing skills.
Toram Online still the best in MMORPG aspect.
No mmorpg mobile can reach that. So far.
But of course, Toram Online is outdated. It's like game from early 2000s. Like the same era like Ragnarok Online PC.
That's not true. Endgame grind spots require a group. If you want to optimize your party success, everyone SHOULD play as their role. For example, as a ninja in my grind parties, I always wait until a tankier class agro, then I burst while our shai /woosa/ wiz/ witch heals us. Makes for a very easy going grind. How you complain about group content while being in a guild that doesn't do group content? Lol I find myself grouped up doing stuff with the guild more than anything else. You must be low AP/dp?
I think you forgot to mention that there are subscription like services in game that give huge bonuses and are not permanent. As a new player that felt kinda weird to me. Specially that there are more than one
You don't need any of them, they are bait. Many new players think they need them, but most people at end game will tell you it makes 0 difference. Just get a value pack when you need to collect silver from sales and that is about it.
I think something that should be added to the progression/enhancing is a bit of *. Yes you can buy the gear out right with silver but something that should be addressed is how expensive that is and it puts the player in a position of save? Or gamba? And you feel the pain. Each of those is a resource sync that puts alot of pressure on the player. Like a Pen Disto for example is 100's of hours of grinding assuming you are making 1 bil + an hour. I think this is a super important detail that a player should understand before hitting that wall. But this was a great video going over the game.
the only game i played that actively tried to make me quit so many times. but hearing things like this from people that play it makes me want to keep going, so thank you
Hope to see a new review about striker sun xD, or about all classes. Great video man.
I searched for a BDO beginner's guide which led me here. I just installed the game last night because people say the graphics are nice. But after the character creation and the story intro, I was immediately met with a message to enhance while speaking with the black spirit or something. I don't even have anything to enhance. 😂 I thought the tutorial was asking me to enhance something so I clicked on it. That's how confusing it can be for a new player.
Then after struggling a bit on how to even navigate out of the conversation with the black spirit, I'm immediately met with a UI that covers 60-70% percent of the screen with alerts popping up in the middle constantly. If I'm not mistaken, I tried to mouse over the icons on the top left but there's no help text to explain what those buttons mean.
The UI is so cluttered that I even had difficulty trying to investigate the ruins as instructed by the tutorial. Maybe it's just me being a noob old gamer.
So ya, even though the graphics look quite amazing (I set to remastered) and the combat feels great, as a new player, I'm immediately overwhelmed by the information overload from the UI while trying to understand it, let alone using it to play.
Indeed, my initial experience is not good at all because the game seems to be very unfriendly or unhelpful in guiding a new player like me to start playing the game.
Hope to see a better new player experience in the future from the game.
Best review in years! I loved the part where u said donkuanatt without saying donkuanatt. ;)
I have to say boss blitz is NOT equalized gear, while its accounting for 10% only gear, crystals make huge difference, especially if u are shai and dont have that pen sol. But other than that video was super good
As an 672 gs veteran console player with 8.5k hours. I honestly cant recommend this game to anyone and keep a clean conscience.
The only things this game has going for it is the world is absolutely beautiful. The classes all look great and feel even better however PvP ( true endgame ) is a joke. Even at high end gear its either you get a CC and one combo your opponent.. or get CCd and get one combod by your opponent. Classes are also heavily unbalanced and newer classes post Hashashin have it all.
The game is very grindy in the end game as any upgrade past my GS costs around 200 billion silver ( yes thats with a B ) for a marginal upgrade.
To put it in perspective at my gear score ( GS ) which is 672. I can make around 800 million silver an hour. Thats with maximized buffs.
Enhancing in BDO is likely going to be the worst experience youve ever had in any game youve ever played. You will throw away billions of silver and days of your time trying to get one upgrade. Most times it costs almost 2x the amount the item is worth to buy by the time you enchance it. Sometines more if your really unlucky. Ive been luckier than most of my friends and ive still blown an unfathomable of silver and time over my 8 5k hours. This game can also give you a gambling addiction.
You can AFK life skill which can be profitable after around 150 to 200 hours of leveling up your particular life skill. Some are easier than others but all of them take immense amounts of time and knowledge to perfect.
I wouldnt go as far as to say the game is P2W but if you have enough money it can be. However even that will run you thousands of dollars to buy one upgrade worth 3 AP lol.
At the end of the day i encourage people to try everything they are interested in. You may like it and you may not. However as i said i cant recommend it with a clean conscience. I gave up the game today after 4 years and honestly i feel very relieved that its behind me now.
To anyone still playing BDO i wish you all good fortune in your grind and success in your enhancement. May RNGzus be with you. ❤
Nice honest review. I quit bdo 4 years ago and was thinking to come back. But after reading this i will not come back!! Do you have other games to recommend?
@@KleineViezerik4Life To fill the MMO void I went back to Elder Scrolls Online. ESO has alot of PvE content and pretty fun PvP. The skills and classes arent quite BDO level but to be fair there isnt many games that can compete with Black Desert in that regard. ESO is constantly pumping out new content and everything feels pretty rewarding for your time. Another worthy mention is FFXIV but for PvE only. It has pretty great story lines and raids but the PvP is pretty awful in my opinion. However that is mainly because the controls are quite outdated.
If PvP is more your deal ive been playing FPS and fighter games like For Honor and Naraka Bladepoint being my most recent. Both games have great classes/characters and a pretty high learning curve that is very satisfying.
I really hope this helps you out !!! Cheers 🍻
Thank you for this.
BDO needs more things to do in endgame besides grinding mobs for rare drops and silver. Bring in engaging and interesting content for PVE.
As a new player that has tried 3-4 times now to get into black desert but gave up. I completely agree with what you said about there being so much information to digest and being on your own basically, hoping you aren't wasting your time on something that's not optimal for progressing to end game. If I figure out I just wasted hours on quests that were completely pointless that's likely to make me quit lol. Might just be my personal playstyle, I don't like stories and lore, I want to get to end game as fast as possible and gear up my character, im playing for the combat and end game progession experience, if it's stuck behind this wall of confusing information that's hard to get help learning, it kills my experience. I wish it was clearer.
Hi blue (Just your friendly time traveler passing through)
Can you tell me how you move around the different things in ur ui? I can't move my healthbar for some reason
ESC then go to UI then when u are in the custom ui window you see a window with options where u can save and so on. There is a check mark with Health bar. Just uncheck it and u got custome oldschool health bar
Black Desert may have many flaws, but for me it has one of the best combat systems and the best economy (Marketplace), everyone has something to sell, which is useless for you but very useful for someone else.
I've been playing since Beta, taking a few breaks in between.
I also like that marketplace prices are set for all items so you can't cheese your way into being filthy rich. The lack of player trading, etc means you have to actually play to figure out how to build an empire to sustain yourself
So what do you think about the game? This was more of an explanation of the game?
i think it's one of the best mmos available for us currently
I agree, item management in BDO is horrific. My inventory is almost all the time full and even after playing for 700 hours i still don't know what 70% of those items do or what they're for. i shiver in fear everytime i have to put up with inventory or storage management.
inventory weight and tent were great investments can grind over an hour without having to stop.
the rewiew is soo acurate, great job!
dude i’ve played so many mmos and this one is just so fucking confusing. like the ui idk where i’m going and it was the beginning. sadly it looks so cool and i wish i could get into it.
Same. I love the customization and creation, the graphics are amazing, but the combat and confusion with progression/ui just turns me off everytime I try.
@17:50 what rgb code are those colors on the la orzeca armor set?????
i play like 6 -7 month now and can you beginner give this short advice. finish your first questline (orange) while lvling up your gear from naru up to tuvala V (PEN), lvl you class to 60 at desert naga or polly, then start grinding your treasure items. you dont have to leave season server for the most of them and while grinding them you will get some money and you have enough time to learn about the game trust me ^^. ps: go for infinite pots first
When I first started playing and going thru the main quests I was led into the Valencia Main Quest and it was a pain in the @ss.
I tried BDO for 3h. So many items impossible to understand. Of the 3h I played I looked at skins for 1h.
Even as a veteran that 10 hours of constantly spamming R on LoTML questline was tiring enough, I can't imagine how it is for new players. PA should literally nuke 90% of quests and rewamp them completely.
that's on you man, why dont u just sit back and enjoy the story for once.
LoML storyline is pretty fun to be fair.
@@raimukoyoasu6636 No, you're not being 'fair.' The narrative in this game feels unnecessarily drawn out, and it detracts from the overall immersion, particularly with its abundance of repetitive 'go there, fetch something, and bring it to me' quests. If you find enjoyment in spending ten hours running around repetitively, that's your choice.
For comparison, the 'Mountain of Eternal Winter' expansion did a significantly better job of keeping players engaged from beginning to end. Characters like Jordine and Lando were well-written and added depth to the storyline, making it genuinely captivating.
I'm not suggesting whether you should have fun or not, but in terms of quality, the 'Land of The Morning Light' questline fell short. While Pearl Abyss isn't known for their storytelling, I had high hopes following the previous expansion, and this one was ultimately a major disappointment.
@@Esotericspirits first of all, im talking about the story not the quest itself. it's pretty fun story tbh and with the pressence of the voice actor in the entire quest, well im down.
and let's not pretend that most of bdo player just want the extra 2 crystal slot & family AP/DP.
i can see why most of you just rush everything and spam the hell out of R key, hopefully can finish it ASAP. after all most of you just want to continue with the mindless grinding.
@@raimukoyoasu6636The so-called 'voice acting' is hidden behind tedious 10 hours of mindless wandering, making your 'I'm referring to the story' argument quite irrelevant.
Perhaps players wouldn't resort to spamming the 'R' key if the narrative actually made sense and the quests were more player-friendly. As I mentioned earlier, I was initially quite excited about the new expansion, but my enthusiasm took a hit right after the start.
They had multiple options: First, they could have trimmed down the footwork quests by a removing 90% and retained the storytelling aspect, ensuring that players remained immersed.
Second, they should have revamped the redundant quests, allowing players to truly explore the landscape.
I agree 90% of quests are just trash and not fun. I think it's just designed that way because of playtime accumulation, more playtime = more revenue (VP, book, blessing etc.) . Long and tidious it needs to be they say... Imo if the game has a good story with more fighting involved what's BDO known for and an immersive story with maybe rendered cutscenes, it would keep more players to the game and therefore more revenue. I think it's also stupid that most quests are not even familywide. BDO is a game with a lot of twinks and for me personally it's just not nice when you complete long/tidious quests that they are not finished for your twinks, I want to have a lot of quests removed from my questboard to see my progress better :/. Besides questing I think they should go for more dungeons/maybe raids, or party black shrine bosses and add damage numbers. Also they need to add better Indicators for the bosses. I think PA improved the game a lot but they need to make the game less sandbox and a bit more theme park if they want more players, but I think overall they did a good job so far. :)
If you start now, the true price of the game is 50-100 dollars (convenience items), cuz the new adventurer deals are a must.
Finally a real review
Great vid ❤
I'm a veteran player that also came back to the game recently, I agree with everything you said except the Gms being super active in game, they show up in chat once a week or so to tell chat to stop cursing, occasionally give out buffs and then disappear again. XD
"traps" is also a very popular theme in BDO, the GM usually ignores that
Preferential treatment and buffs are usually only given to streamers too. During ghe no crystal break event all the popular ones being given drop buff while normal players were ignored. This made me put the game down, it's a small thing but to me it matters.
Can someone tell me the download size because it says 10GB in mine..
you forgot the part where u actually give ur opinion is it or is it not worth playing, or is it conditioned? regarding your experience, iam a casual player, in a guild and it helps, but i honestly dont know what the heck am i doing since i do not read the quest, cannot spend money because im broke, and iam constantly overwhelm with the amount of quest, iam trying
Your review of the game is a breath of fresh air my friend. Spot on. Free expansions and low price entry for a new player is a w as well. I think the video is gonna help a lot of new players get an overall idea about the game. Awesome job Kanon. Keep it up.
Then you try to actually get into the game and be at all optimal and you have to pay for buffs and value packs on top of tents and other dumb shit like pets.. no it's not at all worth it lol
@@olsonbrandon91 You are wrong sorry. You just described the game exactly how it was 5 years ago. Game has changed. All the things you mentioned ppl get them for free now just by playing the game.
You are wrong unfortunately. You still need to pay for them later anyway. Game is not worth it at all anymore@@Greg-Orian
@@tangomilano4503 no you are wrong. I am still playing the game. You don’t have to pay anything. 2 weeks ago they just gave away free value packs by logging in.
They bait you with a low entry price and try to get your money further in the game when you are invested. I followed this game from the start way back, its a huge scam. Their policy has not changed, they just bait people low entry.
I started playing bdo about 2 month ago and i love it so much.
I been playing for a month now I am no expert I look up videos everyday I play. So I agree on some stuff but I don’t see myself stopping. I joined in on woosa combat looked good loved the movement I did all 2100 main story quests in order on seasonal even all the magnus and everything. I am now 598gs and I am loving it even the grinding I prefer to mob grind and watch Netflix on my second monitor it’s what I like to do so upgrading my gear not really a problem I understand it might take me 8hours of farming for 2 taps on Pen black star. But I enjoy this grinding and no sense of end to the tunnel some people might not though.
My first day in the game three years ago I did something called a "Vale Run". I was on a boat, had to dive in the water, it was a cool experience. Even cooler was that I got the super rare item worth billions. They said I won the game.
Thoughts?
Was it hard !? I'm on ps5 and it's on sale right now should I buy it ? Any tips for a beginner
It's mind-blowing how the mobile version is so much better and less frustrating than the PC version
Easy to quit early when things are confusing… hard to quit later once you are invested 😭
Good Summary!
I had a lot of fun grinding for the infinite pots before the pity system. I got lucky with a pen blackstar and pen ogre, but my next upgrades are like 150 bil for pen accs but fuck that. Honestly the pvp doesn’t even feel that good either and the game doesn’t feel like a sandbox really. Just a grind arena. Traveling through the quest lines and adventure journals makes you feel like you’re accomplishing something but after that it’s just more grinding in a circle. 150 bil for an upgrade that is seeing less use in pvp if you care about that sucks
I've some questions. Mabey some one see this and can answering.
Im searching for a new big rpg game, that I can grind. Im not really interested in pvp, but thats nice to have if im in the mood.
So
Is this game for me, if i want to smash enemys while exploring a big world?
Are there normal npcs with quests? Not witcher lvl quests, but more then "collect thing a and kill group of enemy b".
And how is the experience, if I doesnt want to spend any money? As I said, im Not interested in pvp, so it's unimportant to have the best gear really fast ore spent much time in trading.
I just want to play it as an rpg. Questing, talk to interrsting npcs, fight with nice bosses and make my own adventurs.
(it would be my first mmo.)
thank you for the vid, i will be joining the life skilling
I played BDO off and on for well over 2 years,,,Here is my honest opinion of the game. Bdo has the best graphics of any mmo ive looked at. but with that comes a cost of bad disconnects and crashes. Finally we got a fast travel. The Magnus omg!! wow it was crash hell over and over again, and way to long to fast travel..get to a well, travel down the well, cross a platform up stairs and finally get to the area you need and push button and pay silver to use. Its annoying to use lol but most of us used it to save traveling way across the map. Map is huge and all of them are different looking, beautiful scenery, but soooooo many areas are just dead areas. you might travel 10 minutes and never ever see another player. Is it p2w? I think it is. It has pay for convenience of course. which is about $30.00+ a month for the value pack, book of old moon and kama tree. i tried playing without buying those and it royally sucked!!. I started calling it a money sink, Yes i bought costumes with real money to sell on the market. Because of the horrible horrible enhancing!!. because you need cron stones to aid in enhancing your gear. Basically you buy constumes to sell on market for silver or you extract cron stones from them. i could go on and on about the game. I do believe the worst part of Bdo are these,,,,players will come up out of nowhere and kill you and your horse for no reason,,happened a many of times to me. they loose karma wow ughh. Enhancing is totally a nightmare. even as a seasonal character. So many things not explained at all. Too much crap in inventory that you dont know what to do with. Grind grind grind for hours and hours and hope you can get silver to buy the Great gear! that costs billions and billions of silver. Bdo is pretty much a solo game. It is a game of afk ing. It is worth trying out for the beautiful scenery and the awesome areas you can run around in. do the old areas as a new player its easier. I liked the questing in it. Do like i did,,try it and see if you like it. Will i go back and play it again, yea i will lol,
Thanks for this write up. Appreciate it. After reading it I felt that the nice graphics and combat are not worth all the downsides you mentioned. I'd rather return to OSRS despite not playing it in the last 15 years
Now we need an honest review on Dragon Heir.
🤣
A really good fair and explained video of bdo good job Kannon.
as a 10k hour andy can't complain
just started playing like 2 hours ago and the screen is crazy clutterd to the point i have no idea what im doing or what i need, i did kill some big troll thing called red nose tho
Disagree with few things but I can see which standpoint you are talking from. I personally like questing in this game. Do you know there are rare titles you can obtain when you complete certain numbers of quests? We generally just smash R to skip everything but if you read everything you could try to immerse yourself with the game and BDO have some good lore as well but of course everyone plays the game differently, It's a sandbox game at the end of the day. I do agree for new players they could maybe block majority of the quests until they slowly get into the flow of the game. They are trying to improve early game questing and it has changed a few times now hopefully in future they change it in a way where new players don't get stressed out with the number of quests they see on their screen while also keeping all these quests because I need my 77,777 complete quests milestone done haha. And I do prefer them to keep some things as hard as it is right now because if everything is easy it's not fun anymore and everyone will run around with triple pen blackstars and full pen accesories etc.
I think you made some good statements but also some not so good ones. You said "you could try to immerse yourself / good lord etc" but also there are titles for numbers of quest completed: 80k quest title" , so to gain the title you want to complete quests fast right? Because 80.000 is a lot, so obv. you just R skip and don't read at all. Yes a game should be challenging but not long/tedious. Why killing easy 1000 mobs instead of 5 really hard ones with mechanics. I think with BDOs action combat they could do a lot better pvE content where u get rewarded for playing good instead of spending thousands of hours.
Nice vid bro
Kanon looks like he's about to cry in the thumbnail
Much needed positivity!
They should make season server permanent or something so new players can take their time.
Enjoy the process and not having to rush through the game and storyline in 2 months. I quit like 2 times already.
First time 1 month after it came out for SEA server. I got burnout from fishing for gear upgrades. Tired of the afk stuff. Afk fishing, afk horse training etc.
Second time after a week end of 2022 because I knew I can't finish everything in season server if I continue at the slow pace.
They should make like... Only really old returning player can stay in season server and slowly do their stuff as long as they want. Like if you were away for more than a year, when you come back, you can stay in season server indefinitely. This will allow new player to not feel overwhelmed. Having to rush down the events in 2 months or less.
I feel like going back because I heard they revamped it back in September 2023?
path of exile "convenience" items are in many cases very pay to win. They disguise them as convenience. But when you think about how they aggressively enforce stack sizes and drop a thousand new items every season, not to mention that you need premium tabs to sell things which is critically important unless you're SSF, these "convenience" items quickly become less convenience and more of a matter of if you don't buy them you can't compete with people who do. BDOs inventory system is less pay to win than poe.
Duplicated audio at 11:27, just so you know.
Great Video, they can also remove the stupid Attor Cutscenes. Player dead in Attor takes forever to find.

@@fixdoom2seatersbug147 ohh i see ok brother thank you so much i thought lt was a problem with my account or server thanks for the clarification 👍🖤
Creating passive income to create yourself a super chill experience playing BDO is what a lot of people do in this game
Which is.. boring.
Nowadays, many MMORPG players no longer roleplaying. Lame.
What's the purpose of not roleplaying in roleplaying game(RPG) genre?
@@DBT1007some people enjoy a chill experience. you can easily avoid this aspect of the game and play only actively.
@@DBT1007 roleplaying is less active. It take up so much time, and you have so little progression. That is why people don't do much of it.
Roleplaying is usually the chill experience.
Very active is usually less roleplaying.
Lot of items ,, yeah at 1st it's so confusing but in the end you know what is it and what for it is,,,, lot of quest it's boring to others but the Quest is for each cities and region progression,, let say you have to unlock some region features by doing it's region quest and yeah BDO has no ending QUEST
What BDO needs is a pit of the undying(-duran) for grinding...
Ff14 player here, is it worth putting hours in Black Desert? I watched the video, and it seems fun, but ive grown to like the community in ff14, and like how sociable it is. Also, i love raiding.
it is worth playing
Its is not worth playing considering what you like
FF14 has a community that'll roleplay and engage with you. BDO, almost everyone is AFK and not actively playing
if you enjoy FFXIV, keep playing FFXIV. BDO is wildly different from FFXIV.
Just a comment, you can already do almost anything you want on season Servers, you dont have to get season done until the World opens up.
Other thsn that it pretty mich nailed it, nice Video! You maybe could have mentioned bdo Festa or heidel/calpheon ball 😅
i wish this game has multiple voice pack
so i can play with korean voice with eng sub
@4:41 woah woah woah, these are not old and outdated quests.
i hope PA will clean the items in bdo
This is a very good review of the game. As someone who has spent over 40 thousand hours logged into BDO, I feel you couldn’t have said anything any better. I totally agree that the new player experience is cluttered with confusion and unnecessary items that simply need to be modernized, and that many players who stick through the early game tend to find their own avenues of interest in this Sandbox mmo such as Lifeskilling, PvE, or PvP. It is a game many mmo enjoyers who also enjoy PvP should consider, and while the pay to win/pay to convenience is apparent, that should not discourage those who may be interested in trying it out.
Over 40k hours lol good bait dude
"...logged into BDO..." That right there is a major problem. How many hours actually, actively played?
AFK being AT ALL tolerated is an extremely bad thing. AFK should always be severely punished.
Yet this game actively encourages it. Until they get rid of that, BDO will continue to fail.
I thought about getting this game never played it but the " pay to win " is a turn off
I agree, too many useless items and too many buffs. they need to simplify this.
As a veteran player on day 1 release, they pissed me off to hell in many ways, I could go on forever.
I played this game for a while a couple years ago. It has the best graphics and combat of any MMO I've ever played. But the huge problem (and the reason I quit) is the complete lack of PVE content. That combined with the massive number of items like you mentioned makes it an unpleasant experience.
Great review though. I found you from DM's channel.
Exactly my problem too. I don't think it should be called a MMO, most of the time you grinding solo, let's be real.
I love your content, and you cover Black Desert Online (BDO) ok. I'm sorry, this next part is not directed at you specifically but at the real state of the game from a new player’s perspective without gear. I submitted the below to a GM first, who cleared it of any false claims.
Attention all gamers! It is crucial that you are aware of the false claims being made about Black Desert Online (BDO) as a viable MMO. Let me be clear: it is not. Although the game's mechanics allow for a quick start to endgame, it will take you a lengthy 6+ months per piece of endgame gear, meaning you will likely never see endgame if you purchase your gear with the in-game currency. This is due to the game's 13 slots that require a PEN ranking, which is the endgame. Furthermore, the game is heavily based on gambling, making it a genuine possibility that you may never reach the endgame if you are unlucky in going the primary route of enhancing your gear, as it is very likely you will fail the enhancement and have your gear reduced in rank or destroyed!
But that's not all. The game also has severe penalties while grinding mobs, making it even more difficult to progress. The complex crystal system in the game also allows you to break your crystal(s) on death, potentially setting you back 1-20+ hours of grinding and up to a month in waiting for the market to replace crystals that you will be unable to get on your own.
Finally, there are several Pay to Win mechanics sold in the Cash Shop. While BDO's super small community is actively trying to get them to change some of these glaring issues, so far, the Developers have stated they are not interested in changing gambling, pay-to-win items, or mechanics designed to stop your progression and likely even regress it. Don't be fooled by false claims; choose a game that values its players.
For several years, the majority of the small community in BDO has been imploring Pearl Abyss to reconsider the current system whereby accessories are destroyed upon a failed enhancement. We have fervently requested that gear not suffer a permanent decrease in stats as a result of a failed enhancement, and have pleaded for a mechanism to protect the crystals, which are essential for endgame activities, from destruction due to various factors such as desync, lag-spikes, and PVP feeding to mobs. Regrettably, Pearl Abyss has consistently declined all of our appeals. We urge players to select a game that prioritizes the well-being of its community, which the developers of Black Desert Online clearly do not.
top tier rewiew. all on point. a bit salty on critics. but none lies at all. all true.
as a new player i find literally any other mmorpg have easier entry into endgame than bdo... When you get to endgame in bdo and you briefly read about what is there to do it's like getting bombarded with fact that you don't know anything about the game to the point where you lose all the incintive to play cause you'll never catch up
This is fair and all true . Very good job on this vid
Remastered or very high?
I heard him say spend til hard cap??? Is there truly a hardcap? And does anyone even know it?
I started playing BDO a couple months ago and eventually put it away because of the horrible interface, clutter and overwhelming amount of stuff, besides that keeping track of your quests is horrible. I like my MMO to be relaxing and this one for sure is not. Its a shame because i love the characters and how awesome everything looks. i might have to give it another try and perhaps push through that barrier a bit, but my god its not a pleasant start so far
Very Informative, but i was waiting for the Answer, Should you be playing BDO in 2023?
The thing is the combat is amazing. And rest is grinding the same place untill you are almost physically in the game haha and get exhausted :/
11:20 "creating passive income to give yourself a chill experience while playing bdo" you added this audio clip twice during this potion of the video.
Ah shit, I’ll let the editor know oof thanks
Tbh for those who ACTUALLY have the time (rich, stay at home, broke making bad choices) this sounds like a lot of fun. But if you have any kind of career or just have to grind to ACTUALLY survive, its a hard pass. The parallels i encountered in this video to my own similar experience (Warframe) which i have 2k into. Crazy. In Warframe I bought a "Riven" mod for 4500 Platinum (Warframe currency) for $45. After a few updates and the game going different directions. That "god roll" riven mod was worth NOTHING. Peep about 17 and a half minutes into this review. If another game thought it was goin to sign me up for that sh!t EL OH EL
why would you buy stuff that you are playing the game to get. It is just skipping content, skipping the game.
i remember watching bdo guides for like a month up until launch lol. a lot to learn for sure. such a great game tho it always brings me back
I come back for a month every month, to get returning rewards 😁
Are you sure you phrased that right? If you come back "for a month every month" you never left.
@@COA5T Arent you a smarty pants bro :D
@@MaciekRabizo Smarty pants? I have not heard an adult use that phrase in 15 years.
I was just asking if maybe you meant to say "I come back once a month every month". It would just make more sense.
@@COA5T I am watching dog training videos, and literally 30 seconds after I wrote smarty pants, she said it in the video xD She was old like me tho :D
Probably it would make more sense, but you play the game, you know what I mean. I am super delighted you could point me to my mistake. Such a lad xD
After reading newer comments im sure the biggest problem with bdo is its community.
BDO catchup mechanics is not what well implanted it still need lots of work also the one outside of season i main this game for 5 year
BDO consist of 4 cathegories bro ,, PVE PVP LIFE SKILLING and QUESTING
