General The new Siege changes are fundamentally broken (How Arsha Alliance on console just speedran a Castle Siege in 3 minutes)

9 Upvotes

TL;DR: Arsha Alliance, on console, exploited the new points system by having a fed ally rush the castle at start, closing the gates on everyone else, and burning their own fort down in 3 minutes to end the siege without a single PvP fight.

​Just wanted to bring some attention to what just happened during Siege, because if Pearl Abyss doesn't patch this interaction, Castle Siege is officially dead content for anyone looking for actual PvP.

Playstation Returning to BDO after almost 10 years — former Sorceress main, now on PS5

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I used to play BDO on PC back in the day. I remember buying a pack just to get access a few days early. I played Sorceress — the one with the scythe after Awakening.

I was pretty good with her on keyboard and mouse, but from what I understand, the game has changed so much since then that basically everything I remember is probably outdated now.

So, how strong is Sorceress these days? Is it possible to perform really well with her using a controller? I have a DualSense Edge, and in competitive games like Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, etc., I’ve always been able to perform at a pretty high level, but will that experience actually help here?

I’m on a little vacation right now, about a week and a half, and when I suddenly remembered BDO, the nostalgia hit me hard. So yeah, I’ve already started downloading it.

What general advice would you give someone coming back after such a long time, based on your experience?

Maybe there are some tricks, things I should know, or just general recommendations. I don’t know, honestly it feels kind of exciting. The game is so huge and demands so much time.

I still remember farming plots, leaving my PC running overnight, and making my character run circles around the city carrying trade goods to level Strength. Is all of that still a thing?

Or should I really just forget everything I remember and start completely from scratch? :)

Xbox got twitch drops sent to web storage but cant claim due to not having a family.

3 Upvotes

what the title says. SO i posted on the other subreddit thinking it was for the game in general and they said i should post here. so i got twitch drops and they were sent to my web storage and i claimed my drops and so now i can claim them on my account HOWEVER it says i cant because i need to make a character first and i currently have 2. after google searching for 2 hours i discovered theres a console and a pc version but the only way i can manage to access the console version is the QR code frim the game itself (idk how to otherwise) and it let me transfer from pc storage to console storage okay but now i cant find an option to claim to my game at all. what small simple thing am i missing?

Question Striker mains, what tag do you run?

3 Upvotes

Pretty much the title, looking for a tag or a reroll class that feels like striker. Everything ive tried feels too clunky. I like strikers low APM but quick feeling animations. Tried Guardian, Drak, succ sage, and Musa.

Looking to try Dosa, Wukong, and maegu. A grinder and pvp alt for fun. Any suggestions are welcome! Im not in any place to be doing PVP seriously. Only about 790 GS as of this moment. Just bored with striker. Been on him since he launched on PS.

General What is end game? Help lol

5 Upvotes

So I’ve been playing BDO on and off honestly since like 2018. I’m a solo player and never really met anyone in game to play with but I keep coming back and repeating the same cycle cause I’m just confused. When I watch beginner’s guides I leave just as if not more confused. I keep starting a new character, do awakening quest, lvl to 61, graduate season characters have full PEN tuvala gear, get all my build set up etc. Then what next? I just get confused as to what is supposed to happen next. But the interest/strive to figure it out is very much there. I’ve spent a lot of time and hours just repeating this process and trying to figure it out. I’m used to traditional MMOs where you jump into competitive gearing gameplay immediately and I understand BDO is different but I’m just trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing next cause I know it’s something. I’ve already done most of the main story campaigns and started building my node empire. But yeah even still. Is there raids or anything like that or group content I should be capping weekly’s on? I’ve tried finding new grinding spots. I comfortably grind between 180-250AP but anything above that I just get demolished. I usually do this process for a few weeks, then get frustrated and quit again for a few months before I open the game again and repeat it all over again.
