![]() ![]() You can use a horse flute if you have one, but it was too cumbersome. Your horse can die in battle areas, and you can lose track of where you dismounted. To get to new areas, you have to walk or ride a horse. There is a vast world, and you cannot teleport to get around. Were this explained better, I would not be in the situation I was in on my Sorceress. Most of the in-game systems are not explained well at all, and it is something that should be fixed. This caused my leveling experience to suffer as a result. Even in my 30s, I was still using level 1 versions of many of my skills. You can adjust the level of a skill in the “Skills” menu, but that skill level doesn’t save when you leave the menu. As you gain Skill EXP and Skill Points, you can learn new skills and increase the power of current skills. In particular, one part of the game that perplexed me was the Skill System. If players are going to invest time and money into the lifeskills system, Black Desert needs to provide clearer information. I like that the game is difficult and complex, but more information should be available inside the game. Want to set up an extensive trade network, but aren’t certain about how the taxation system works? You’re going to need to take to Google. ![]() Other than researching on the Internet, you learn this game the hard way. Other than that? Good luck! The game teaches you almost nothing. It will give you some brief tutorials to teach you what you need to know about getting started. The Black Spirit is an entity that guides you through this MMO. I was already familiar with Black Desert Online since I’ve played some on PC. The new-player experience is pretty brutal, though. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the game world. As you might spend years on the same character, you want them to look perfect. Character creation is impressive and you can lose hours figuring your character’s aesthetic. The classes are gender-locked, and that’s a turn-off for many American players, but it makes no difference to me. Is there a particular anime character you think your character should look like? Odds are you can make it happen. You have so many options to design the character your way. It has the most detailed and gorgeous character generation in any MMO I’ve ever played. One thing Black Desert does right is character creation. There are convenience items (extra XP, weight limit, item durability), but the PS4 iteration does not strike me as pay-to-win. So in theory, you could buy cosmetics for real money and Black Spirit Essence to break those down. This item lets you extract crystals from gear, which I believe includes cosmetics. There are no items on the PS4 store that make this easier to do, except for “Black Spirit Essence”. It can take thousands of dollars on PC to enchant your gear and improve it to something noteworthy. If you’re spending a bit here and there, you are unlikely to get a serious advantage over other players. After some thought and personal experience, the term “Whale to Win” applies. Not everyone agrees on what makes a game a pay-to-win cash grab. I’m sure that in time, the PS4 version will catch up to the Xbox and PC, but it’s something to be aware of.īefore we get into how the game plays, let’s talk about something important in a free-to-play MMO: Is it pay-to-win? The concept of pay-to-win varies from player to player. To give you an idea of what’s missing, the PC version currently has 18 classes, with Shai being the most recent. The PS4 version initially launched with six classes, but a major update released during the review process. For newcomers to the MMO, this isn’t such a big deal. However, it’s missing years worth of content, and only has the first eight classes to choose from. Black Desert Online (simply Black Desert on PS4) went to Xbox One first and has since made its way onto the Playstation 4. Whether you’re after side-scrolling beat ‘em ups, or non-stop PVP madness, there is something waiting for you on the Internet.
