Black Desert is the ultimate ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ real-money laundering simulator masquerading as an MMORPG. Pearl Abyss completely abandoned actual game design to build a soulless corporate marketplace trap. It’s nothing more than a brain-rotting pay-to-win wallet simulator. The game has a totally choked, economy where you can't even freely sell the rare items you actually drop. Instead, the company forces you into a strictly controlled global shop designed specifically so whales can buy premium cash-shop items with real money and flip them for in-game silver. Pearl Abyss literally turned their entire game into a legalized currency-exchange scheme just to line their corporate pockets.
No puedo recomendar un juego que esta cayéndose a pedazos con muy malas actualizaciones, dejen de tomar malas decisiones con las lifeskills por favor.
Trash toxic people, don't play PVP, even in pve zone inbred lord will attack you because they live in a fantasy world, where their real life is rotting away.
I will never play this game. Do developers have any clue at all as to how many games people may have. And, how many of those require a client (outside of Steam) that require a Log In! I should NEVER have to "log in" to any type of gaming client if I have Steam! Not EVER!!!
Game is political for 0. Guilds treat this ♥♥♥♥ as if its HR and will cry over pixels. A good MMO to play alone god forbid you play in a guild. Never had this issue on any other MMO. Maybe NA is just ass
From a pvp focused & having no interest in economy or life skills player's perspective I can't recommend. it is probably one of the best pvp systems out there However they have put it in a purely life skill and economy mmo. Outside of Arena of Solare which is seasonal, there is no gear capped pvp. In the pvp modes present, a small gear difference = 1 shot so, its a bit of a flop of a pvp game overall unfortunately. If you like arena pvp then id recommend picking it up when Arena of Solare is active. when gear is balanced it is really a great. If you're not a life skill and economy mmo player as a main focus then this game isn't gonna be fun outside that Arena of Solare in fact is an active pain. Its a shame :( no other pvp mmos this decent.
Our wallets served as the foundation of Crimson Desert
10/10. Great Game. BDO taught me that the optimal way to play is to not play.
This game does not respect the time you invest in it.
I finally finished customizing my character.
