The muso/maewah (blader/plum) are in-game now, with the ninja pair due before month end.

Yep couple weeks ago... i got mine to 50 already.
Wow where have I been well time to get one of those started
Dirty skimper here hadn't looked yet, was too busy annoying the guild by getting the second set of unwanted livertos.
I'm still playing the game everyday. About a week ago I had a friend join and I rolled a new Ranger with his Berserker. I liked the Ranger a lot and I've actually made it my main and let my Valkyrie just processing stuff in Calpheon.
At least for PVE grinding, the Ranger is a beast. So much easier and faster to farm stuff compared to my Valkyrie. Good thing that all the hard work I put on the gear I was using on my Valk I was able to instantly pass to my Ranger with the exception of the weapons, but I was lucky enough to get a Liverto Longbow.
I spend most of my time now leveling in Sausans groups or solo and also trying to farm gear in other places. I've done some Guild vs Guild pvp, but there's not much point to that at the moment. They need to release Sieges and Node wars fast, there are a lot of people that are gearing up just for that, but that's been delayed and no word really on when that's coming out.
Wow, I'm SOOOO late to this thread! Been playing since preorder myself but never run into any of us. Do we have an official guild in game? (mind you i have a lot of tread to read back on so bare with my laziness )
Started my blader yesterday and I am enjoying him a lot more than my warrior. I'll still keep him around to pretty much be my worker manager. Is it weird that I still have no idea what I am doing but I am still having fun in this game?

Nope, part of what I'm loving, no prescribed path, no set thing you must do. Reminds me of the original EQ in that each day I log in and decide what I want to do that day. Huge world, so much variety, so much to do above and beyond just fighting.
I finally broke down and started playing this yesterday. I've already had to watch youtube videos on connecting nodes, managing workers, etc. It's been a while since I've had to watch outside videos just to figure out things that are pretty integral to the game. Now to just figure out what I want to focus on.
Welcome to the party Kehama I was in the same boat as you I have had this game for about 3 months and I just got my first worker going. A good source of income is fishing especially since you can do it afk. Another tip I got from a video I watched is to have multiple characters so I have one character who I use for going out into the field adventuring and finding nodes and my second character stays home to fish recruit workers and other things.
I'm still playing BDO like crazy. Node/Siege wars have been a lot of fun so far. A lot of drama between guilds, but that's what I like about these sort of games!
Isn't someone on EU server? I got all my chars over there, either on Crox or Jordine. I wanted to socialize more. I play it alobe on my pace, not really grinding, just doing quests and learning the ropes along the way. My highest level is 20 with tamer. But I find myself more figuring out how to do different stuff than beating monsters, even if that's fun too. So I have few workers getting me potatoes and ask and am connecting nodes to be able to trade a little without the 30% loss. But I am not sure if it sticks with me. Maybe after some noodling I will go try something else, like growing cherry blossoms.
How is the state of this game today.
Is it worth as something to pickup as something to mindlessly (or Zen like if you will) grind in PvE on occasion.
Yeah I will say this as someone who does not like mmos. I really liked this one. If the grind didn't get so intense in the later levels I probable would have gotten it. I was just getting annoyed when I had to commit genocide on an area to get close to leveling.
Also loved the fishing, and crafting stuff.
Well this just showed up on my video feed and this guy sounds like he was where i was and makes a good case to go back. If i wasn't already deluged with new games i probably jump back in.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! I had some fun in BDO but the pain points he listed (energy, marketplace) were all a huge downfall. It sounds like they fixed a lot of the issues in the game. He definitely makes a convincing argument to go back and give it another try.
I really did not like the combat controls in the game. Just could not get past it.
Oh main that video is dangerous. Also the price is now 10$. I'll sleep on it.
Edit: And I'm weak. What server does everyone play on?
I was re-installing last night but then recalled how I was so overloaded with what there was to do and how much there is to remember. The learning curve is a bit steep (unless they changed that as well). Maybe I'm happier with my simple "Just trying to get Junkrat before anyone else does" life
So I made a blader called Argov. Leveling has been stupid fast since techinically I had a character before. So I wound up having tons rewards waiting for me. I'm almost at the same point I was before I stopped playing. I'm glad that even though I deleted my original character I still kept a lot of stuff. Including my trade route which was nice. Trying to power level until I hit the new stuff.
Well I've hit a bit of a wall. Seems like post level 50+ the leveling just slows to a crawl. Even with something like 150+ xp boosts on enemies my level or above just give slivers of xp. Also probable overdid it with my play. Played for the entire weekend basically. Been having a good time.
Other thoughts. Node system is cool but doesn't seem to work the way I'd expect it. It's really tricky to setup an even basic system to make decent money.
Exploration. Love this. This game makes me run around and go everywhere and talk to everyone. I feel rewarded for it and I enjoy it.
Combat. Damn good, atlthough the blader seems a bit dull. 90% percent of it is spamming my aoe attack. Though that's more the grinding probable.
Crafting/Life skills. Cool and interesting even though 99% of the time you do these afk.
Otherwise good fun even with the slow down. Trying to level my fishing now.
