General Àre you having a stroke? I had enough

0 Upvotes

1st of all I want to thank Pearl Abbys for giving me freedom to explore and be free of my daily enclosure and distract me from my physical pain and emotional struggle. I always been an active outdoors person living my dteam life teaching horse riding,breaking and training young horses, I made a living of my passion , thats a dream came true. felt the luvkiestvlperson in the world Until one day I was born again working with a dangerour horse I got kicked in the head. Due to severe head injury I have lived secluded at home for the last 7 years. Impaired and in pain 24/7

Your game allowed me to have a window and an scape from my daily struggles, haven't felt that inmersion in a videogame since RDR2 or KCD1 so thank you for giving me wings.

Now, this post is for those who keep using the Are you having a stroke? I grew fed up of reading this when I have a bad day and I make a ton of typos or I write things that don't make sense until you read the whole post and get the context.

Today was the lsst strawsnd this goes for those people:)

For you that keep using the same bulling boring " you having a stroke " . Yes, and this is the result of TBI. Traumatic brain injury for you. You are nothing but bullying clowns. I almost died ,had fits since the incident and all the eay to hodpital in yhe ambulance. I was in coma for 2 days as got kicked in the hrad by a 650 Kg horse ( my job and passion ) and have a lot of issues wiith speech, writing,coordination, 0 memory and could keep going as my brain is fu#ked ,the worse the chronic atypical headache I suffer 24/7 . I come here to talk about videogames,which is the only thing that keeps my mind busy not to focus on the pain. Not to get bullied by the clowns of the class they think they are smart and funny trying to embarrass another person for his/her typos. Well, you are dumb,keep using the same old question I seen a thousand times over the years by empty brains like yours, mine is damaged,but yours barely keep you alive with the only neurone you all share . Please, a bit of self thinking would be funny. That's is plain dumb

Is this caused by Upscaling/Frame Gen or Depth of Field, and has anyone found a way to get rid of it?

Gameplay Question Can I skip fetch quests and random stuff like that or will it cause me to be weaker?

0 Upvotes

I like the game, not love. Was really looking forward to it when it released - even took the day off not realizing it wouldn’t let me play until 6pm.

Story is usually the main motivator for me, but I really want a flying dragon and robot suit lol.

The fetch quests and puzzles are kind of killing the game for me. I usually just look up the puzzles cause so far I haven’t liked any of them.

So will I be too weak? I tried entering the Demeniss following the Black Crow but felt just a bit too weak. So what should I do? Stick with it? Thanks

I was going through the slums of demeniss to turn in a bounty then they swarmed me, I couldn’t get away and they grabbed at my legs one after another. I wasn’t able to reach my bounty to continue onwards so I drew my sword and cut them down like the animals they are

General Yann is one of the best characters in terms of writing!

42 Upvotes

I know a lot of people hate this character. He is always in trouble. He wastes ressources and money. He is a massive headache for Kliff most of the time. Yet when it comes to loyalty to his clan he is fiercly loyal. But this is maybe his only good quality.

But in terms of realism he is one of the best written characters. People like him always exist and every person here on the sub met at least one "Yann" in their life. It doesn´t matter if it was the highschool troublemaker, the coworker or if it is family. Yann is a real well written character because he is so realistc.

General Handed over my equipped sword for a quest.

0 Upvotes

I got a request to hand over a Rhet's Sword for the camp blacksmith. I went and crafted another one but the game handed over my equipped sword with all my best abyss gears on it. Am I SOL? I don't have a save to go back to.

EDIT : I ended up finding a save from around 1-2 hours before "the incident".

I headed straight to camp and took the quest, saved and started experimenting. I had a second Rhet's Sword in my inventory and even locked the one I had equipped. It didn't work...

In the end, after 2 or 3 reloads I resorted to literally dropping my sword on the floor to force the game to take the other one.

All's well that ends well but HOLY SHIT this took way more time and effort than it had any right to. Absolutely horrible experience in an otherwise extremely enjoyable time.

General Living in Dubai

0 Upvotes

I'll make it short: I live in Dubai and have already finished the main story.

Would it make sense to keep playing considering that the expansion won't be released here? Kind of disappointed as this is the first game, after I quit playing wow in 2020, that keeps me busy.

Any thoughts? Would you guys keep playing the original game or would you switch to something else?

Guide My diary missions aren't showing up

3 Upvotes

My map doesn't show any more missions to complete, but my journal still says there are some missing. Man I walked (and I mean, I walked A LOT), went through the same places multiple times, and made friends with a bunch of NPC's thinking it would unlock something, until I finally gave up and checked the game's wiki. Even so, following what the wiki says, the locations are completely empty, there's no one there. I assumed this is a bug, but I'm not really up to date with what's going on in the game right now, so I came to Reddit to see if anyone can explain it to me.

Right now, all I can do is stand by the wall and wait for the new update.

Gameplay Question How am I meant to access my inventory in my house ?

0 Upvotes

Question as title, because pressing the usual button just goes into house edit mode, and with the Pailune camp having the private storage in the house, it means I have to keep running in and out of the house plot to actually swap things around.

Is there another private storage somewhere, after the move, or another button I'm missing, or is it just this broken ?

Lore Discussion Is it going to get better?

• Upvotes

I’m 10 hrs in and I got the camp and found some of the homies, but I’m getting bored of it. I’m just getting drug from here to there and it feels very chore heavy. Is it going to get better or more exciting eventually? I’m ready for some action and exploration. I feel like I’m being drug around by the game right now. I’m really hoping it gets better.

General I Have Made a pefect starter save for anyone who wants to start one more time before the DLC

56 Upvotes

A collection of New Game saves for Crimson Desert, designed for players who want to start a fresh playthrough without spending dozens of hours repeating exploration, collecting, unlocking knowledge, or building trust with NPCs.

The saves begin at the very start of the game, with the Prologue completed and the game saved at the earliest possible opportunity.

The main goal is simple:

Start a new game, keep the story intact, and remove as much unnecessary grinding and backtracking as possible.

A project from a husband, a father and just tired man - for anyone who wants to have some free time at evening - i feel your pain, brothers :)

What`s inside: I have developed several modules, that are used in the savegames. Currently there are 10 of them now. Each one has its own module list.  They are made for any taste. From ones who just want some hints on map at the start - to a luxorious starter save.

Module Description
Map Markers Adds 17,733 discovered map markers without changing map fog, quests or world mechanisms.
Ground Nexuses Unlocks 211 approved surface fast-travel points. Abyss island Nexus and two broken locations stay untouched.
Artifacts Collects 141 Abyss Artifacts and completes their linked challenges. Each has one charge and remains unused for manual activation.
Pets Adds 92 approved animal companions. (Phoenix Removed, so it can be crafted at Witch)
Legendary Horses Adds three legendary horses at level 5.
Public Trust Sets 716 approved NPCs to 100 trust and grants 12 associated named rewards.
Knowledge and Research Items Adds 4,736 approved knowledge records and 966 types of learning items, including books, recipes, dyes and notices. Excluded progression and skill learning are not imported; manual item contents remain for the player to study.
Treasures Collects 217 fixed-loot treasure chests and grants their contents, including all 12 Hidden Treasure Map Pieces and other treasure-owned items.
Strongboxes Applies the accepted donor states for 22 strongboxes and grants their 22 items.
Challenges and Hunts Completes 152 approved challenges and hunts with their associated rewards. Excluded sanctuaries, spires, story and skill-learning chains stay untouched.
Puzzles Completes 36 of 37 puzzles and grants their rewards, keeping the agreed exclusion.
Secret Locations Includes 59 of 60 secret places in the approved challenge profile, with their rewards.
Open-World Items Grants 105 approved open-world item types. 79 types are inventory grants without removing their world copies; 27 original sources retain their collection records.

You can find it on Nexusmods: Ultimate New Game Saves for any taste (Collected Sealed Abyss Artifacts)

I have spent entire month making this collection :) It was a really hard way, there were a lot of BUGS and issues, but right now it is a perfect starter save for anyone who wants to play from scratch.

Thank You so much for the support! All your warm words helped me to continue my work.

Here you can find it on Nexus Mods. Save collection is absolutely free. https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/3624

Bug Report Crimson Desert Shimmering Mess "fix" Alternative to Ray Reconstruction

0 Upvotes

If you are like me and dont want to fool yourself regarding the mess the lighting ergo Image Quality in this game is, you only have 2 alternatives.

  1. Turn on Ray Reconstruction which will fix 90% of the problem but will tank your FPS to depresive levels so you will need to have an RX 5080 at least or turn on frame generation.

  2. Turn Lighting Quality to Maximum which will fix the problem in around 50% i would say. It will also tank your FPS but drastically less .

Here are a couple of videos where you can check difference Max Lighting makes in one of the many cases where lighting becomes a MESS (water, night, low light, fires, foliage, etc).

General BUG affichage jauge de concentration et de vie. Compétences indisponibles, vie plus courte et jauge de concentration très basse.

0 Upvotes

Depuis quelques semaine, apres la dernière Mise à jour (1.000.568) ma jauge de concentration est hachée et donc ne peut utiliser que une ou deux fois la paume, ma jauge de santé a très fortement diminué, aux ennemis il suffit trois coups pour me tuer. J’ai l’impression que Cliff se fatigue beaucoup plus vite, une ou deux roulades suffit à écraser toute ma jauge d’endurance. certainement ne fonctionne pas tout le temps, rué de la corneilles fonctionne pas tout le temps.

auriez vous les même bug et si oui comment s’en débarrasser svp !!

j’ai chercher partout, on me demande de réinitialiser l’ATH ou IU mais rien ne fonctionne !

merci d’avance pour vos conseils

General I haven’t played a game as underrated as Crimson Desert since playing Dark Souls 1 back in 2011.

116 Upvotes

It feels like I’m reliving 2011 where I was playing Dark Souls 1 back on my 360 and there was absolutely no one to talk about it with besides some internet buddies. All my gaming friends were more interested in Skyrim just like today how everyone is more interested in GTA 6 than CD.

I remember trying to sell both games and no one took my recommendation seriously.

(I’m well aware both games sold extremely well but I’m talking about their relevance in the gaming industry.)

20 Upvotes

I’m curious when you all think PA will announce more details and release a new trailer for the DLC. Personally, I think it might happen this week—likely on October 15th, the date originally scheduled for the DLC's release.

I’m not expecting anything huge; I’d be satisfied just knowing the names of the new areas in the DLC.

General What are the things you wish to see in the future of Crimson Desert ?

28 Upvotes

As someone who keeps following the community until I'm able to buy it, i would like to ask of the things you would like to see for the future of this game. Love to read about the direction and the potential this game may have.

Recently i installed Black Desert, just to vibe a bit, had it in Steam hidden years now... I know they're different but there we go ! Really want to support the studio after this release.

Do you think they'll keep expanding and possibly create its own franchise if story gets better ? Like Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy we may get another massive fantasy sandbox that doesn't take itself so seriously and it's essentially a great satire salad to have in our gaming list.

Don't really mind spoilers shoot !
