    And the conclusion: This game is best played with a casual mindset. If you don't "have to be the best, or at least competitive" then you wouldn't feel like you had to buy all of that stuff and grind all of that stuff, and instead you'd enjoy the little things in the game.

      Some people's enjoy competing with others, like myself, and don't care as much about the little things in the game...

      +Gaute Løken ...um you can't really.
      Everything in the game is designed to push you to the micro-transactions and compete as this video illustrates. You can't even just enjoy the world and explore because as soon as you hit level 45 you feel the pressure to grind and gear up or be pked while exploring and going about your business.
      I could get behind the ow pvp too if it weren't so screwed up and if there weren't so many performance issues associated with the game.
      It's just a trash title that they ported on the cheap and instead of tweaking it for a b2p environment they just slapped a price tag on it and expected everyone to be ok with all the micro-transactions still in place from the f2p KR version.
      Now that they honeymoon is over and the title has been out for a couple months, people are noticing the incredible pile of dog shit this game really is.
      The problem is that there are OP fanbois out there that don't want you trashing on their fav game because they know that there's no real endgame in BDO without fodder in the form of other players. Hard to have sieges and node wars if there isn't a constant flow of bodies coming into the game.
      Aside from the incredible environmental artwork and the fluid and intuitive combat style..the game really has nothing going for it....the little good design in it is overshadowed by obvious the laziness and greed of the development and publishing teams.

    • @Mithon81
      @Mithon81 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Camil Abu Nasra Indeed. I'm usually like that, but for some reason I managed to put that aside for this title. Probably because my completionist tendencies, which leads me to want to do every quest etc. So, I enjoyed it, for a while at least, untill I grew bored and moved on. But it was good while it lasted.

  • @Morphologis
    @Morphologis 8 ปีที่แล้ว +50

    I think we all failed to realize when we reviewed the game just how adept the Koreans are at making a P2W MMO. They have micro transactions down to an art, so that by the time you realize that you've spent a ton of money, it is already too late. I think from now on I will steer clear of mmo titles in general that use this sort of micro transaction model, which basically means won't be playing mmos for a long time.

    • @animeweng
      @animeweng 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Morphologis Korean mmos taught me the value of money really well after i blew alot of it on the first two games I played. Cabal Online 2k USD and Vindictus 1k USD. After that, I never spend more than $60 USD for a game. Continent Of the Ninth Seal $30 USD, League of Legends $40, Rusty Hearts $0 USD, Cabal 2 $0 USD, Swordsman Online $0 USD, Blade and Soul $0 USD, and Starcraft 2 I had to pay $60 then $30 for HOTS and LOTV.
      Black Desert Online I only spend initial $30 USD. I have been using loyalty to increase weight limit. The story quests give u gold ingots, inventory, weapons, accessories, armor, and black stones. I find no need to spend any more money on the game.

    People - Please take note of how many times he points out that he doesn't like X because you need to do it to be competitive. I started playing WoW when I was a teenager, and I have fond memories of having nothing better to do with my life than play that game as soon as I got home from school. As someone with a degree and a real job now, I don't have that kind of time commitment. Why am I talking about this? I recently started getting deep into BDO, and I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun playing ANY game since my first experiences with Vanilla WoW. The reason why? You can do SO many things, and they're all fun, and you can play the game however you want, but most importantly, you don't HAVE to be competitive to do so. Peon seems to be looking at this game from the perspective of being among the top ranks of players, and yes, that takes a ton of time and effort... but if you play the game simply AS A GAME and to enjoy yourself, you will find it to be extremely enjoyable. While it may be ironic for an MMO, one of the things I loved while leveling to the soft cap was the fact that I didn't need to interact with any other players. I got to learn the game at my own pace, and I wasn't required to learn about a dungeon system or understand group comps for co-op quests... People are overwhelmed by the amount of htings available to do in this game, but in reality it's not overwhelming, because you don't HAVE to do anything you don't want to do. The 'Life Skills' system blew my mind and I wanted nothing to do with it, for example, until I realized that I didn;t have to craft armor and do alchemy and do cooking and do fishing etc etc... You pick the things you like and you can just as effectively do ONLY those things as you could do EVERYTHING.
    My advice for anyone who has been longing for a fun gaming experience for years now (like myself after I decided WoW didn't fit my lifestyle anymore) would be to play this game. I have loved every minute of it, from dying to learning.

    • @KevinHPhotography
      @KevinHPhotography 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Solid Review. I also don't play that much anymore because same as you, I have a degree and a fulltime job now. And, for the past weeks I have been looking for a good MMO to play. I really like how BDO looks, but I don't know if I would/should spend the $29.99 since I am not a hardcore gamer.

    • @stwida91
      @stwida91 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kevin H I would seriously give it a try. At first I was totally overwhelmed by everything, but like I said above... once I decided that I was only going to focus on fishing, learning the node system, and understanding my class rotations in pve, it became outrageously fun. And knowing that there's all of that other stuff to learn about later only makes it more exciting to me, because I can SEE how much there is that I don't know. The variety in the classes is also great, they all feel very different when playing.

    • @incosciente2994
      @incosciente2994 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I totally agree with your comments, and IMHO the problem is that lot of players don't play MMORPG to role playing, exploring maps/world, going deep in story and PvE; their final objective is to "make cool" and camper in the major cities with last-high-end sword or piece of gear.
      It's so funny read comments like "I don't want to WASTE my time levelling...", nonsense :D

    • @SushiCatto
      @SushiCatto 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yup. I have to concur. I've been getting back into WoW, and so many people complained about the "lack of content".
      ...this being the same people showing off because they hit max level in under a week by farming dungeons with +80% xp. They're sat complaining about the lack of content, despite not having played most of it.

    • @gregmcallister2194
      @gregmcallister2194 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You are so dead on. Every one that complains about pay to win is actually saying I don't want to play and MMO - I want to play a fight game where I can buy the best armor, best weapons and beat on other players. My interest in games has always been the story, the tales, the learning the of the economy and interactions of player to environment and finally the socialization between people that play for the same reasons I do. Sure I PVP but only if I need to or want to not because I have to or feel it is the only thing to do. If I want straight fighting then I would play any one of thousands of FPS or arena based games. The haters need to quite playing MMO's for the 2 minute level to the top. Really, why don't you try to play the game.

  • @Make_It_So

    • @Make_It_So
      @Make_It_So 8 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      +Stephan Morin If people want to compete for the top? This is where the game is flawed. Luckily, I couldn't care less about this aspect so I am content and enjoying the game thoroughly.

    • @lostarsm9240
      @lostarsm9240 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      +Makeitso Falonaburgerman Same. However I'm considering the enjoyment of those beside myself since a healthy MMO takes care of multiple playstyles. ...not just my own.

    • @Make_It_So
      @Make_It_So 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      +Stephan Morin The game is still in it's early stages. Let's hope they have the ability to keep both the plebs and elites pleased eventually. I am as casual as they get. That said....this is just a game and I really do not care about the enjoyment level of elite players. My friends and I are happy and that is really all that matters to us. Does that make me inconsiderate? No. We may play the same game but We live in vastly differing gaming spheres.

  • @The_Cadaver

    Another flavor of the month MMO bites the dust. Seeing the same cycle repeat itself time and time again: Hype, honeymoon, epiphany, exodus, obscurity.

    • @yabyab
      @yabyab 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +The Cadaver I don't regret playing BDO for over three months, in my standards that's HUGE success. A game that takes your attention for three long months is not easy to do. What do you want to do, invest all your life playing this game? come on. Saying that, BDO could have given me years of playtime only if they've made PvE more interesting rather than "gathering a horde of monsters then blow them away with 1-2 hits all the way since level 1 to level 55." and not to mention the brainless "boss" and "world boss" fights which really are nothing but "attack them and don't die".
      There's not class inter-dependency. There are no roles to play. There are no variety in monsters; except melee/range basically. You don't "adapt" to anything; it's just gathering them and blow them up. There's no feel of "Oh, we're going to ascend into a dangerous area; friends get ready for tough fights and let's work together to overcome the challenge." This kind of gameplay, to me, IS the bread and butter for hours of fun. Resource Management combat with a group of friends working together to venture through a very dangerous place. Of course there are a few monsters inside who drop the ph4t l00t you want; instead of scroll bosses we just delve in a dungeon and kill its bosses for a chance for a loot. That game play would have made me play the game way way way longer; instead of this brainless solo hording and the ridiculous world boss zerg-fest.

      its not a flavor of the month its fucking massive game and i seen what this dude peon did to level up is perso he was rushing like crazy grinding like a mindless fuck and he tired himself out and thats normal its not a theme park mmo like wow with an end game there is just no end game and no level cap so its normal that it broke is experience... i'm enjoying the game so fucking much right now by exploring talking to npc crafting fishing and mostly questing i don't feel the grind at all and im guessing i will never feel it even if i decide to just kill mob for 1 or 2 hour when im tired of that i will go do something else thats what the game offers a ton of shit to do and that is refreshing, i just cant with the theme park mmo anymore who you just want to be max level as fast as possible and just repeating the same fucking raid or dungeon thats fucking boring for me now! i was the kind of dude who really never enjoyed questing in wow well i did in the beginning but after a while i just wanted to max my char to do the end game i don't have that stress now i'm just enjoying myself with bdo!

    An MMO that's fun for 1 month isn't a good MMO IMO.

    • @BrokeMyCrayon
      @BrokeMyCrayon 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      +CJS929 It's a good thing that "fun" is subjective then.

    • @Whippets
      @Whippets 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Of course it is, that and physics is what makes the world go round. What I was referencing is his statement towards the end, that despite all these "issues" Black Desert is a good MMO and he had fun for one month ... but not much fun after that. That's fine for a single player game --- bought it, played it, had fun for one month ... but an MMO needs to sustain itself month after month.

    • @DnDCreation
      @DnDCreation 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +CJS929 Black Desert does sustain itself, it's just clearly not a game suited to his tastes, which is completely fine. Just wish he would spread less misinformation.

    • @dalishisness
      @dalishisness 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +CJS929 From what I can see this game won't push big numbers but I think what helps it a bit is that it looks "too beautiful" to not play for most. Who knows when the next MMO will do extremely well.

    • @Nazareadain
      @Nazareadain 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +CJS929 It isn't from a business perspective, but a lot of MMOs use skinner box strategies, overinvestment, loss aversion and sunk cost fallacies to prolong their lives. I'd rather fun and be done than be dragged through from obligation, and luckily, I'm not invested in the PvP (yet, anyway) and practically play it as a single player game. The second how I'm playing is comparative and I'm competing with other players, I'd be just as frustrated, though due to the stat benefits the armours give. Shit like elion's tears, though - nah - I'd re-level a ranged class at that point and be at an objective advantage. Makes it pretty clear how badly balanced some of those elements are.

    I heard BDO had a great variety of things to do even if you weren't a siege/pvp sort of guy. Work takes up most of my time so I wouldn't have the time to grind for hours every day anyway. I just want to get back home and do some fishing or crafting or whatever for half an hour or an hour and then go sleep.

      You gonna love it for the first weeks, maybe one whole month. Its worth it to play like 29 euros and have a month of fun, even more for you because you don't play a lot. After u reach a higher level, there is no monster to kill, there is just nothing. The bosses feel the same, the other things you have already done, u just have to grind, to play the other fun thing, pvp, which will be terrible if u dont have good gear, after 50 you are not safe anymore, the people will attack you, and the only way to keep playing is to kill them too. Anyways, reach 49, pick another class, do the thing again, just don't bother to play it after 50. You gonna love it, hundreds of hours of fun for a cheap price. I spend like 15 hours just creating characters, really, its amazing.

      +Mark Kram You are confusing poor boss mechanics with a boss being hard. A hard boss requires a great group to go on multiple run throughs to learn the mechanics of the fight while these bosses are just rinse and repeat slamming damage ..dying...running back.. If a boss can be defeated that way it is not skill or knowledge based...it is just poor mechanics.

    Yes, I could tell all these things from the first week I played >.<
    I was like "keep my money... Byeee" and I quit right away because the creatures are too easy, boss fight is dumb, there's no story, just running somewhere takes forever, etc., etc. There was nothing that requires skill or thinking; it's just about buying advantage (as you mentioned) and having no life.
    I think many people that play BDO are the same kind that can sit in a lobby in "Second Life", doing nothing for hours. They have no exciting life, so they do not even know when something is boring. It's sad but I guess that's their life.

    Everything you said makes so much sense and yet these developers think it's a fun idea to implement a system were gear means nothing if you ain't got it upgraded to the last tier that also might take forever to get cause you might have bad RNG. Hardwork doesn't pay off in games like these, you can work so hard for something and yet accomplish nothing because of the RNG.

  • @Applekations
    @Applekations 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    i love this game but it's the first mmo I've played and kept playing so I don't think I play like other people. I've had it since the 2nd beta and my best character is only level 30. partly this is due to me going to college when it came out, but I also just like to take my time and I don't really play with others. i don't get why people want to grind and burn through the levels as fast as they can to the point there's nothing left to do.

    • @Applekations

    This is why I've turned to MOBAS/Arena shooters in general, for example I see Mobas as a mini version of an mmorpg, you get to late game in 1 game, there's pve (laning, jungle, camps and objectives) and pvp (the players, teamfights), there's the gear (items) you get to max level and to end game in 1 game and you have fun and get to enjoy it over and over again, that's why I love the MOBA genre because it's the mini version of MMOS and it's the best part you enjoy when you have fun, and no grind, cheers :) love Smite btw

    @ringosis 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I quit the game half way through the free beta week for pretty much the exact same reasons. I can't believe anyone who is even remotely familiar with online video games couldn't see it coming with BDO. It's entire design philosophy was so obviously built around annoying you into spending money. I dunno about anyone else, but personally, if a developer deliberately makes their game not fun to try and convince you to pay real money to make it less tedious, I'm not going to be touching their game with a barge pole.

    • @jagerlionruiz8639
      @jagerlionruiz8639 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @ringosis
      @ringosis 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I didn't say you have to spend money, I said the game is shit if you don't. The game deliberately puts exceptionally tedious barriers in the way of your progression in the hopes that you'll just say "Fuck it, I can't be bothered doing this" and spend money. It's the WORST kind of game design.
      BDO's problem can be summed up with one inevitable outcome. When you do stop playing BDO, I absolutely guarantee you it wont be because you are satisfied that you achieved the goals you set out for yourself and you feel like you've done what you set out to do and are ready to move on...it will be because you've spent hundreds or even thousands of hours trying to achieve the goals you set out for yourself and you are still no where near and the only option left to you is to admit defeat or spend money because the goal posts keep moving.
      You will quit not because you are satisfied, but because you are infuriated...that's BDOs problem.

    • @TheTinyTimmyTimTim

      Free to play everywhere but here. Red Flag.
      Armor ripped out of the game and put into the cash shop. Red Flag.
      3 Different packs that give HEAD STARTS, one being $100. Red Flag.
      I could keep going. Anyone even slightly familiar with MMO's should have been able to see this coming, and at that point, I honestly don't feel bad for people who ended up quitting because of the grind and pay to win bullshit, after paying 100 dollars for what was already pay to win bullshit.

    • @XRiZUXGamer
      @XRiZUXGamer 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it would be better if MMORPGs removed "leveling" and instead focused on the role-playing part. Maybe unlocking a new skill after beating a boss, and having the combat be only focused on how skillfully you are playing solo as well as in a group.
      I mean what is leveling other than a waste of time anyway? (to keep players busy) - Imagine if you could just create your own unique character, and do whatever you want from that point without thousands of quests to grind levels, the goal of the game being your own and unique. Without the focus of leveling up a character, I think a lot more focus would have gone to actual role-playing, and in return would make the experience a lot more interactive and interesting.

      yes that is true but BDO Is a grind, it doesnt have a grind. Also most MMO's have grinds that end at some point when you get what you need. BDO and other Korean MMO's love to make you grind and then when your about to get what you're going for they strip it away and make you do it all over again. So when it is an endless grind it gets old and boring doing the same thing for the entire time you play it. But by all means if you like it then play it I'm not going to tell you or anyone not to.

    Ultimately BDO's end game content for (for the most part) is pvp based, which takes a rather large toll and becomes a very apparent problem for people playing in Oceanic regions.
    I still think the game was a lot of fun but in the long run it was not a sustainable or worthwhile use of my time.

    • @Pichuscute
      @Pichuscute 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      SuddenFool That sounds terrible. I'd rather go play actual games, like Final Fantasy or Uncharted or Mario Kart than have some MMO that plays itself or that requires grinding forever. That's not fun and doesn't respect my time or give me anything worthwhile from playing. At that point, you've taken all the entertainment out of a medium that's supposed to be entertainment.
      It's like telling someone the movie is fine as long as you keep your TV off and then turn it on every few minutes to make sure it's still playing. Lmao.

    • @Chocomunchie
      @Chocomunchie 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not all MMOs are the same, though, and this game's problems are certainly not the epitome of the genre. This is just one example of a poor business modeled MMO. Since you like Final Fantasy, you might like Final Fantasy XIV. Though, that was probably a stupid suggestion, because I don't know whether you're an open-minded FF fan, or one of those "it's not a true FF game durr hurr" players. If anything, it's an MMO that'll feel familiar and you'll at least enjoy the FF fanservice and references, job system, as well as its world and lore. The quests and main story are also fantastic, and not exactly boring, though your time will still be required.
      Though, that's the thing about MMOs, you're not supposed to play it all at once. It's one step at a time. You're supposed to play them on and off over time to progress. It's supposed to last, as opposed to single-player games that you can beat in a week and then you're done with it. And it's not like you have to only dedicate your time to that game. Once you get your fill and want to switch over to a game that doesn't take as much time, those games are still there, they're not going anywhere. MMOs are also a social experience, teaming up with friends or strangers and dungeon crawling, celebrating holiday/seasonal events, hanging out, or what have you. It's a pity you can't find the appreciation for the genre, but, to each their own. I hope you one day come around, though. And heck, maybe XIV will be the one to change your mind, who knows.

    • @Pichuscute
      @Pichuscute 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Chocomunchie I am an open-minded FF fan, although I totally understand why you'd be worried. xD
      That being said, I have tried FFXIV before, and I didn't enjoy it very much at all. It seemed to be filled to the brim with fetch-quests particularly. I gave it maybe 5 hours, and then gave up. xP
      I will say that the social aspects do absolutely nothing for me, though. So, if that's the majority of what an MMO offers, then I don't really care for it.
      Since posting this, though, I will say that there are a couple MMOs that I have enjoyed for some amount of time. ESO I enjoyed because I could just play it as a single player Elder Scrolls game (with the quests and story still intact, thank god). Although, I've now hit a level wall, and grinding in an Elder Scrolls game sounds particularly terrible, so I'm probably done with it. Elite: Dangerous's world and mechanics are so inherently interesting to me that I don't mind that I'm technically doing fetch-quests. They also reward you a lot for spending just, say 5-10 minutes at a time, which makes me actually feel good about playing.
      So, I guess the entire genre isn't lost on me, just these more grindy type MMORPGs. XP

    • @Chocomunchie
      @Chocomunchie 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Benjamin Busche Well, the first several quests in the earlier zones are pretty fetch-questy, but it improves. I guess they just want you to get used to the locations first, with those. But, yeah, I get ya, man. To each his own, I suppose. And yeah, the FF fanbase, man.. Definitely a mixed bag. xD I hope you find other MMOs out there that fit your standards.

    People just can't think. The amount of time that you have to spend grinding experience over 55 pretty much forces you to buy tears to avoid exp loss on death. LazyPeon talks about world bosses but did not mention that you need L56 to use the awakened weapons. If you think levelling up to 55 is bad, well.... yeah.The game is a cash grab, like almost every single MMO released these days. They were just a bit more clever with hiding it until they have gotten people to commit to the game and invest into it. People don't like having to face that reality, which is why they lash out at anyone who points it out.That said, this is probably the best game on the market for people who do not have any real life obligations and no budget concerns.

    My husband and I watch your videos religiously. My husband heard about Black Desert from you. We are both hooked. It really is the best MMO out there. I was looking forward to some Black Desert videos from you, but I understand you don't want to get labeled the "Black Desert video guy". People shouldn't be attacking you for your opinions. I do not agree that its pay to win. A lot of that extra weight and inventory slots can be purchased with loyalty points. It's a fun game regardless if you are the top geared player...there is just too much to do. Sieges will be fun regardless, Sea combat will be loads of fun... We love your videos, we just disagree with some of your points. Keep up the great work. You are our favorite TH-camr. :)

    • @ItsGmezPoy
      @ItsGmezPoy 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jennifer Matt Loyalty points lol. Read the loyalty item description(on the weight/inv increases), you can only purchase them using loyalty points like 2 times then they lock it. You have to pay if you want more. And what about the pay to win costumes? the fishing one, the horse training one, the ghillie suit on a midget ranger? Let's not forget about the pet's either, or the elion tears. Alone, these are pay for convenience items, but together, they create a pay 2 win environment.

    • @puffthemagic
      @puffthemagic 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jennifer Matt I don't agree that it is p2w either. However, even if we entertain the thought, you could still think of simply paying $15 a month on it like you would WoW---How many euros has LazyPeon spend buying every WoW xpac + a year round subscription???

    • @ItsGmezPoy
      @ItsGmezPoy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jordan Ogas You dont need to spend money on WoW anymore. You can farm gold in-game and buy tokens which give you a months subscription.
      I have enough gold for 6 tokens on my wow account which i havent played for 1 year and dont plan on playing ever again.
      10 years, 15 dollars a month. Ok.
      1 month and 500 dollar + $150 to get the game.
      That is 3 years worth of wow gameplay spent in 1 month. (not even including the years of gameplay you could get from buying the in-game subscriptions with gold.

  • @TheLesExit
    @TheLesExit 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I don't get exactly what Play to Win means in MMO's? Is it beating the main quest line as fast as possible? Beating other players? I've never been about PVP in any game, I really hate playing against other people. I just find competition with others in games to be unneeded stress in my life. To me it's usually just about being immersed in another world where I can do cool stuff, maybe meet a few nice people :).

    • @jonfindlay7838
      @jonfindlay7838 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is generally meant for pvp situations but some pve content is also competitive and people who pay would have an advantage there as well. Eg. more inventory space, weight limits, potions.

    • @pronetodrift2395
      @pronetodrift2395 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pay to win essentially means you have to pay money to win,which is certainly true here

    • @GekoHayate
      @GekoHayate 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In a game where potions are your healing method and you have a limited weight capacity, victory in a 1v1 could boil down to who spent the most money to get the largest potion carrying capacity.
      It isn't play to win by the way, the phrase is "pay to win". Winning in a p2w model (pvp, loot drops or w/e) is often dependent on if or how much additional money you spent on the game.
      GW2 is an example of a game that has a cash shop that is almost entirely cosmetic/toy items and have no real effect on gameplay. A person who throws a thousand dollars into gw2 on top of the disc cost has no more chance of getting an item drop or winning a duel than a person who just paid for a copy of the disc.

    • @TheLesExit
      @TheLesExit 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Oh ya I meant "pay to win" sorry D:. For loot drops and 1v1 I can understand where the problem comes up. Cause then effort or skill means nothing, as long as you're a person capable and willing to dump a bunch of money into a game. Though I guess I can kinda get why these makers of these games would do it to make money, even though its annoying to so many players :(. I used to play Gaiaonline, but the cash shop utterly destroyed the economy of the game.

    • @azinyefantasy4445
      @azinyefantasy4445 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You need to play more games lol. In some games, money can give you access to dungeons with no one in them and so you just farm an empty dungeon to max lvl. In another game the bosses dropped loot for last hit. 50$ would buy you a ruby that increased your attack by 3500. Now pair that with a skill that does 8+ combo and you are guaranteed the last hit 95% of the time. I have quit also 34+ games because premium players basically would soak my head in water and use it to clean their premium only mansion.

    Grinding and endgame is what MMORPGS are ALL ABOUT ! you must know that. That is the reason people play them, to develop their characters over time, in a social inviorenment where you meet and talk to other people. The satisfaction of getting gear or titles that you worked so hard for is what its all about, those are the experinces that last, no one remembers or cares about being afk in a raid getting gear for no effort at all.
    But i agree with you, that so much of the levling experinces and the grind to get to late game in these mmorpgs are just terrible, its quest upon quest of boring find x, kill x etc etc. I don't understand why the leveling progress can't be interesting from start to finish, like single player rpgs are, Witcher, ALL elderscrolls game morrowind oblivion skyrim, fallout etc...

    Craig, I know you don't like making only wow content just because a lot of people are requesting it and you want to be diverse in your uploads. But you can make top 10s of lore and maybe mobs in wow you don't need to necessarily play the game.. Besides, you haven't made a wow video in ages.. It wouldn't hurt if you switched it back to the old once in a while you know.

    I actually really like the questing, grinding, professions, exploring, etc. in the game and don't care at all about the endgame. Also I can only play on the weekends, as I have work + gym during the week. I think this game is very entertaining for casual players that like to have actual content outside of the endgame.
    If you (like you said in the video) don't enjoy all the content of this game except for this little part of pvp, then maybe you are right. You would be better off with just playing battle arena games. This is no hate btw, because you points you brought up are valid. As for example as a casual player I most likely will never be able to be competetive in pvp.

    The only way to avoid a pay 2 win declaration is to make everything available in game in some way. If there are things that can ONLY be obtained through the shop that make your character legit better against other characters, it's pay2win, simple as that.

      There is nothing you can buy in BDO to make your character stronger or better than another. Just more efficient. Making it not pay to win but pay to convenience. It's true there is a lot of it. Behind that though, there is a genuinely good game. Since they merged the servers, everything is now able to be bought with in game money. Even pets, costumes, etc. The only thing that can't is the Ghillie. That only hides your name not your health bar.

    Basically, as long as you don't care to be competitive it's a good MMO. Is this correct? Personally, I like endless grinding if the combat system is easy to understand.

    • @voltronhasguns
      @voltronhasguns 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, yes and yes. I could care less about being competitive and I love BDO

    • @NamelessAzn388
      @NamelessAzn388 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say yes. If you ever played GW2, the RNG is not as bad. I'm more of a PVE person myself and I think once they fix the lag on bosses it will be so much more fun (since you would be able to actually understand and work the mechanics). However, I think the reward versus time/skill is a little low and that's probably why I'm just going to use this MMO to tide me over to the next (hopefully the best) MMO.

  • @blackyvertigo

    these systems you complained about are in every. single. damned. korean mmorpg ever released in the west. every single one has them. every. one. no exception.
    korean mmorpgs are garbage and have been. i swore after 2moons i would never buy another and after playing some free trials recently of korean mmorpgs that have released since then and seeing that they are ALL THE SAME still....yeah, just stick to western mmorpgs.

    • @blackyvertigo
      @blackyvertigo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      best alternative? if you mean sandbox, nothing beats eve online. if you mean mmorpg - i could rattle off at least a dozen titles.

    • @blackyvertigo
      @blackyvertigo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      ah yes, the usual counter-argument of the internet intellectual - personal attacks. Your lack of mmorpg experience is showing.

    • @blackyvertigo
      @blackyvertigo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      you were 6 when I was 24 and you proceed to lecture me. too funny. your mmorpg experience is jaded by the inexperience of youth, so you can't possibly have an objective outlook or opinion on these games or the genre on the whole.
      I have played pretty much every mmorpg released in the west. I used to play all korean mmorpgs day one until i saw the pattern, and waited for their inevitable free trials. I still play my first MUD 22 years after first logging into it, because good games are worth it and good games stick around.
      You were the one who brought up older games first, chief. Again, your inexperience is showing. At least try to remember what you just posted.
      And if you really want to compare action mmorpgs only (NOT mmo's, that label is applied to game that are NOT mmorpgs and morons continue to think they are the same damned thing) then both ESO and Wildstar are better games on the whole, with neither having predatory cash shops. both have pay-to-win aspects in thair cash shops, but NOWHERE near as bad as this, and they don't add such a ridiculous and punishing crafting system as the same god damned enchanting system that EVERY SINGLE KOREAN MMORPG has used the last 13 years.

    I jumped on youtube to basically find out what BDO was and to secretly find a video to justify be starting a new mmo - the first vid I came across was this one and I would like to say thank you. You've earned yourself a sub and I look forward to see what MMO you take on next or is worth while for me based off of your reasons - being casual and wanting fun.

  • @reesertyron6046
    @reesertyron6046 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    what i got from this video, a guy played a video game loved it found out he couldnt in the end compete due to time constraint so decided to reverse alot of his initial praise.

    • @reesertyron6046

    • @_Ikelos

      +SoCalAries How?
      I had high hopes for GW2, but it literally doesn't have quests and the combat is extremely lacking.
      GW2 is extremely akin to BDO in the sense that you get to X point and "Kill all the things" and "Click all the shiny".
      That's GW2.

      "You said the game is bad therefore you don't get how it's played"
      Dude.
      I played that game for months, hoping it would get decent and it never did.
      How can you call that "engaging"?
      At what point did you feel "engaged"?
      Did you feel engaged when you used all your other 9 buttons and started spamming autoattacks?
      Did you feel engaged when the hitboxes actually didn't work?
      Did you feel engaged when in PVE the only distinction between characters is if they deal instant damage or DoTs and everyone's basically just banging their face on the keyboard?
      I mean, good for you dude.

      Deutsches Kaiserreich The fact that a couple abilities synergize in a stun or a burn, doesn't save the combat system in the slightest.
      What you said is that i maybe didn't get how the combo system works, which means "you didn't get how to play the game".
      I raided and did WvWvW, i really tried to like this game, but it's just bad.
      SoCalAries My previous comment is still there and his comment is not marked as spam.

      He said multiple times though that in order to be competitive in pvp you have to grind continuously, taking it slow wouldn't help with that. Not everyone wants to pvp but many do. I can definitely see how the game would be fun for someone who just pves though. I did for the few months I played.
