Crash

Damn, that's a pretty fat response, I appreciate the effort writing it up, I may carry on playing it then especially if there's not really any toxicity, a couple other questions then for anyone willing to answer, how easy is it to join into guilds on here to do PvE stuff with and just chat away etc? and if I join into an instance through matchmaking, is there a kick function? and do people abuse it? essentially as long as I know I won't be queueing and waiting to do dungeons much later on and then getting the boot because of my gear then that's brilliant, I played an MMO that had many players that did that before, safe to say it wasn't a fun experience lol

I'm curious on how the community in this game is and if I can progress without having to sink tons of money into the game, I'm fine with it being a slow (but not unreasonably slow without paying) grind, but if the only way to reliably get anywhere requires me to sink lots of money into the game then I'd have to stop playing. Mainly though I'm wondering about the community, I remember when I played during launch that one of the reasons I quit was because the toxicity in dungeons was on a whole new level, if people didn't instantly know what they were doing it just got really bad basically, I'm not sure how dungeons now are but I also remember that people just used to speed run the dungeons with mob skips etc that you had to know how to do I think as well, so how is it now? as a fairly fresh player will I be able to get into dungeons without being kicked upon gear inspect and not being OP for the dungeon? do guilds actually recruit non end-game players? All I can say is that the combat on this game is still one of the best and I really want to give the game a proper play this time, but all of the things above still has me a bit on edge while I'm doing the story still in that I don't want to waste my time getting to the game dungeons and then find out I don't have a hope in hell of getting anywhere without being a god at the game and already geared for the dungeons I need.

I assume that it's the photoshop that gave that effect, funnily enough I was kind of thinking imvu when I saw it lol

Black Deserts creator is trash, it gives you the feeling that it's incredibly detailed because of all the sliders (most of which either do nothing or help in making an alien and nothing more) and parts you can click on, though the reality is more of you need to spend hours on end to be able to create a character that finally doesn't look like the default preset any more, and even then you may still have features that look the same. At-least on BnS creator you have tons of options, I've had my characters look like their own thing and don't really see anyone that looks like mine, it simply depends on the effort you put into it (not even half as much as you need to in bdo) and the look you're going for.

I wouldn't call it related since its a different game entirely and unrelated to BnS, but here's my sidenote: Black desert has one of the worst character creators I've seen in a long time, it has a ton of options that you can move around but the problem is that they're all a bunch of minor edits in their own right, so if you want to actually create a character that no longer looks like the default face appearances (which both of your characters do, try not take that as an "insult" because I tried for several hours my self and still coulden't get it no longer looking like the default appearance), you will most likely have to spend days and days doing it and know full well what you're doing...and who the hell wants to do that? lol I've seen many created characters among black desert websites and like I mentioned they all look way too much of the same, I've also seen many others complain about the "issue" as well, it just shows that having in incredibly in-depth creator doesn't make it good, whereas you can get games such as this where it keeps the sliders simple but with plenty of easy to use options to really make your character your own.
