Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) In 2010, the Korean Developer Pearl Abyss had began development on their newest project, Black Desert. A couple years later, now in 2015, the works have been in Open Beta on Korean servers (and still is as of now), is planned for Beta in NA/EU later this year, and are planned to come to PS4 and Xbox One next year. The game will be a seamless, sandbox-style MMO and will feature no-load dungeons, a non-auto-target system, guild-owned land, Guild vs. Guild battles, beautiful landscapes and character models, an extremely detailed character creation system, and 6 starter classes: Warrior, Giant, Archer, Sorceress, Tamer, and Blader. Check this out: The game is Free to Play in Korea. The other regions' pay models are not yet decided.

Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted February 1, 2015 An extra features trailer showcases all of the other features besides regular combat in the game. I think this is gonna be awesome when it comes! Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted February 2, 2015 Surprised this is the first anyone has posted on here. I've known about Black Desert for a few years now. It just keeps getting better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted February 2, 2015 The visuals are nice, and the character creator is detailed, but that's really all I know about this game. I'm kinda worried it'll end up being typical MMO fare, which isn't a good thing for me. I'll have to check out some gameplay, although I am somewhat concerned considering my past experiences with MMOs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate those games with Play-to-Win models where the ones who pay have the best equipment and everyone else is a noob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Le'ts hope they do, because they've gotten my interest... 1 Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Eater Evans 4,045 Posted February 2, 2015 I just hope we all don't get trapped in Black Desert for a year. I haven't played the Beta of this one! 1 Joker reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate those games with Play-to-Win models where the ones who pay have the best equipment and everyone else is a noob. My main concern is how most MMOs are really tutorial heavy at the start, and after that just feel kind of repetitive. I haven't played a whole lot (Don't have the money for them), but starting a game to deal with 5 hours of tutorials is a big turn-off for me. I like to just get a quick overview then get into the game. Of course, my computer would never be able to run this anyway, so I have no clue if I'd be able to play it in the first place.

As long as you're not running Vista you'll be fine. Apparently they're specifically designing it so it runs well on low-end machines too. It seems to me like there's a bunch to do besides quests, so if you're into stuff like fishing or sailing or farming or something like that there's that too. I can't reall say anything about the tutorial... But I know you'll spend hours on CC alone . I have high hopes for this game too, so hopefully it won't let me down!And again, it's like that they'll have an F2P model, so you can try without paying a cent. That is, if they say. Try the open beta later this year to see if it's a fit for ya! Edited February 3, 2015 by Sun Wukong 1 Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I get a new laptop later this year (Which is supposed to happen), I'll definitely try it since it's free! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted February 3, 2015 Cool! Can't wait to see us there! I gotta get a new build as well. After the summer I definitely will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Black Desert yesterday launched their first trailer showcased in another language: Japanese. It can be seen below. In other news, Black Desert's cash shop earned $2 million in a week. This could be a good sign for players, as it could decide whether or not we can get Black Desert to follow the F2P model as in Korea.
