>it's another yann being a retarded drunk episode
yeah but he survived and jiles didnt, so what does that make giles?
One day we’ll get a dream open world fantasy game that looks amazing.. oh wait, we already have it.
>>736887781I've only done one quest so far involving yann and he seems coolwhy does everyone hate the yann man?
what are you guys using to clear hordes?
>>736887781I made a mod for that OP.
you guys are convincing me to buy this gamelooks chill..............
>>736887827Lucky. He could be stuck having to live along-side Yann.
>>736887892Get the constellation helmet? Beautiful. Makes sense why they have space box and the sky box is an atmosphere box.
>>736887781yann desert
>I like Yann
>>736888029>look chillLike you wouldn't believe.
>>736888029you can't handle the chill
>>736888029Don't buy it for full price you goon. Just unfurl the sails and if you really like it, then buy it half off or more.
does /v/ like the strongbox puzzles?
>>736888029There's also a nude but with hat mod
>>736888029>buy this gameDon't listen to this retard: >>736888146The crack requires you to open up your PC to the author of the crack in an irreparable way. Just buy it. You can get it for 55 bucks right now: https://gg.deals/game/crimson-desert/

>>736888208yeah, I like to put on a podcast while doing them
>>736888029Play it blind dont lurk these threads. Tough out the first few hours of boring dogshit, the game is incredible after that.
>>736888226I thought he was talking abt waiting for a real crackStill missing out on updates doesn't seem fun
Am I the only one getting Roman vibes from Yann?
>>736887973Dual wield "shield" charge, since it seems to do both weapons damage per 'tick' while ploughing through hordes. My basic go to crowd thinner. Milage may vary against pavise infantry
>>736887973Lariat and blinding flash. You can get gears to greatly improve lariat and the stationary slam
I just spent 5 hours getting my ranch together and doing none of the story. GOTY
>>736887973nature's snare unleash. its like a screenwide force punch
Kliff must be really scary for these bosses to fight. Imagine a guy who can not only heal mortal wounds by slurping down a bowl of soup, but he somehow carries 100 bowls of soup on him, produces them instantly, and consumes them instantly every time you manage to land a hit on him, and then he's perfectly fine.No wonder they go all out.
>>736888315>unfunny kike show made by a rampant pedophileGo back to >>>/tv/ where you belong.
>>736888264I’m notorious for being unable to start games especially if they have a slow start. I put up with the beginning of KCD2 and ending up loving it. How many hours do I have to slog through this game before it gets good?
Man if Kliff wasn't so autistic he would be pretty cool
>>736888543>I’m notorious for being unable to start games especially if they have a slow start. I put up with the beginning of KCD2 and ending up loving it. How many hours do I have to slog through this game before it gets good?2 hours for me. Then I was hooked. I absolutely LOATHE open world games with the exception of BOTW and this. I kinda liked RDR(1) though.
>>736888512Am I the only one getting Roman vibes from Yann?
>>736888560Kliff is cool, kunt.
>>736888617>>736888543the first 2 hours is the worst part of the game and that's gonna suck to convince people that it does open up. The prologue is slow and shit
>>736888543In all honesty if you rush the main quest youre looking at probably 5 hours of trivial dogshit before the game opens up.Unlike most games, its actually worth it though.
>>736888543Oh I read the second part of your post. Yeah its like kingdom come 1+2 where it starts slow but broadens massively later.You will probably love the game if you like knights and shit. Its obviously a fantasy game but the setting is medieval and done very well.
>>736888543Depends on your definition of good. You can run around and do whatever you want after like an hour or two but you are constantly unlocking mechanics and features - not to mention game changing skills - for like 50 hours.
Reupload of the nude mods, one of the xml files in the mod was fucked because I deleted a closed bracket by accident, so orc women in the desert were causing a crash.https://litter.catbox.moe/dhxt66rp6ljx0q2l.zipAlso, Dwarf woman, FUCKING IMAGINEhttps://litter.catbox.moe/cj37yxdp1cckqxm9.jpg (embed)
iv gombleated the main story and a large portion of side quests and still have an icon on the map with a lock on it almost 200 hours in.
Why do the other 2 characters exist? I can't find a reason to play as them considering artifact investment is per character.
i need an abyss artifact quick, what's the fastest way to get one?
>>736889124Because
>>736888506also he can come back from the dead
>>736889124You can call them in as a sidekick.
>>736889124i like woman's moveset with the rapier but i hate women soooo

>>736887781Voicesbros...we're waiting....
>>736887973i just chain everything i can and try to trigger cinematic kills because i have an abyss gear in my 2H that causes lightning bolts to rain down around me and knock enemies down when i use a kill move
Took me 20 hours or so to figure out you can just focus punch ore nodes to mine them.
>new update>new modsI think it's time to restart my Skyrim playthrough
You can also force palm the queen bismouth to death instead of following the clunky tutorial
>there is a whole fucking underground map also>you cant even get into it until 60 hours in minimumThis game dude...
Are there cool dungeons?
another cute NPC acquired
>>736889898not really in the traditional sense. the sky islands are physics puzzle dungeons but there arent really big caves with enemies and bosses
The fuck does this asshole want from me? He keeps screaming his legs don't work. Fucking confusing. I don't know what he wants from me. I can't unparalyze him.
>>736890000Witnessed
>>736890092you better figure it out bro that quest is important
>>736890000Checked.All fantasy RPG developers hate actual dungeons and it’s a tragedy.
>>736890092Use your lantern on him and talk to him.
>>736889898no
>>736890173>>736890132What a fucking LIAR, he walked just fine when I helped him up.
>>736890171Its a rare L for this game that we dont get any interesting interior dungeon areas. We know they are capable of doing seamless interiors with this engine so im not sure why they dont have any serious caves.
>>736890216Nigger did you even watch the full scene? Hes just a shit test from a witch to make sure you arent a chud.
>>736890242I think the lighting doesn't work well underground. They should make sky abyss dungeons instead so more light can come through
Hmm lets see should I go tediously mine iron nodes in the world, or should I go chop down hordes of soldiers mouso style and loot their bodies for 10x the amount of ore in the same time?
>>736890271The fairy said "My legs don't work." Not "hey I'm falling and I can't get up." I helped the fair up, he mumbled something about humility and then turned into fairy dust, probably off to get railed by an Orc.
>>736890291I disagree with that, but I am using the full raytracing settings with an rtx 5070ti. Interior lighting looks really good for me.
>>736889898Pearl Abyss uses a seamless lighting system that looks shitty in dark areas, so unless its lit up so much that it looks like a surface level, it'll look horrible. That, or you have some god tier GPU that can brute force ray reconstruction. If you were expecting a modern day Blackrock Depths city, then you will be sorely disappointed. I am too.
So the gear fusion, it's basically just taking two gears and getting a random one?
>>736890818Yes, and there are 1092019 different gears, so trying to save scum to get the one you want will be torture.
spamming light reflect at flying wizards feels stupid and shitty
>100 hours in and I hit a sanctum with none of the required parts spawningMaybe those Pearl Abyss faggots could pump the brakes a bit on adding le ebin movement tech and fucking fix critical game breaking issues like this instead
>>736890329for me it's teleporting 200 times to each vnedor
What do you guys prefer, two-handed sword, or sword and shield?
>>736891665two handed easily
>>736891665DUOL WIELhonestly 2H is easily the best solely because its one weapon, 5 sockets, big wide attacks, and weapon effects benefit the most from this
>Petrification ImmunityWhat counts as petrification exactly?
>>736888864>uploading mods to litterboxthanks for nothing retard!!!
>>736891665started the game with two handed, after 180 hours im really enjoying sword and shield. it just feels faster and more dynamic compared to two handed. that being said, i still switch to two handed for bosses since it holds more abyss gears, but sns is more fun for mobs
>>736890216>"ahh help me">see npc hanging on a bridge that has very clearly been broken for a long time>think this npc(male) is highly retarded>turns out its a womanheh
random moment
>>736888864I don't get it, nobody can access thisyou have to upload it somewhere else
>>736892264For me the fairy said, "UGHHHAAAHH MUH LEGS DUNT WERK!"It was extremely confusing. But anyway look, it's THE Crimson Desert in the famous gook game Crimson Desert!
>>736891190Doesn't help Kliff will go into combat mode after being hit. There needs to be a button to force non-combat always
>>7368916652hander sucks for boss retries
>>736892112Surely mod anon will cum back
>>736893161Is this truly the Crimson Desert from the hit-game Crimson Desert™?
>>736893640r'fraid so
>fight the skull knight while dealing with ice state>spend literally an hour and tons of resources whittling him down>runs away>zero rewards>look up online whats going on>he's not supposed to be fought at all>you just finish the spire of frost and that effectively kills him AND get a reward?????????????????????????Why design him at all even?
so is the move to pailune worth it now?
>>736892558Why is she wearing a mask? Is it for hiding her beard?
>>736888864Why the fuck did your retarded ass upload it to litterbox?
>>736887781>it's another OP being a faggot episode
>>736891956when you get close to bismuth related stuff and you start to gloss over and take damage. bismuth stone crab, bismuth ore and the arena in front of silver fangs lair all cause petrification
>>736894712>kill his minions alongside my minions>later read a note saying he's dead>don't remember fighting him or seeing him at allI might be senile but maybe one of my farmer minions solod him. What a legend.
>quest start>talk to the person>read the letter>go to the destination>pick up the letter or get the letter from the person>read the letter>find the person>use the clues in the letter to find the right person>the person is wearing a green hat>talk to the person>go to destination>talk to the quest giver's assistantJUST REMOVE THIS SHIT MAN. Why is it even in the game? Shit is worse than FF16's side quests.
>>736895168you can finish the mission without even encountering him. He's supposed to show up around the spire and you cant defeat him
>>736893640>>736894610Look I found Valve in the Crimson Desert in Crimson Desert which is on Valve's storefront Steam. I think the Valve might be steam powered.
>crimson desert >not even crimson wtf
>>736894910Damn that is fucking galaxy brain right there
>>736895529big if true
>>736891763Dual wield is 6 sockets little guy
>>736895671>the black sea>the sea isn't blackwtf>>736894910I am going to do this with damiane's, fuck that shit
>>736895748>wtfINDEED
so where is my lightning resistance?
>>736895671red dirt is just iron rich sand, which looks like rust, so more like orange, but people still call it red for some reason, even here in australia we have a lot of "red" dirt, but really its orange
>>736895853try going unarmed, as in remove the two handed weapon
Its kind of crazy how hard this game mogs every other open world game out there. I think it even tops rdr2 environment.So how did this come to be? They used infinite money from p2w black desert online to make crimson desert as good as possible?
>>736895853man whats the point of bismuth cannon when it doesnt even proc petrification when you use its melee
>>736895905I don't like that either
>>736895992>infinite moneythey only spent 130 million of the 2 billion they made from BDO, more like they worked in an environment of financial security but kept costs in check
>>736895992Long development cycle mainly. This and Genshin are both crazy though, I love how non-jap east Asians are finally making good games. I can't wait for their GTA clone.
>>736896080Its an interesting development strategy, this game would not have been possible technically or financially speaking without BDO going through years of refinement while abusing the fuck out of Korean and asian paypigs.
>Dirty maid>is also dirty when nudeNice one devs
>>736895954already tried unarmed, nothing changes
>>736889776......that's not true. Is it?
>>736889776im 200 hours in and yet to find this so called underground, what are the prerequisites
>>736896347then, idk
>>736891665I like parrying and being a tank with a shield. So its that and a big two hand sword when I feel like doing that.
Runaway train, there is no conductor! How do I stop it?
Are there outfits that give me cold resistance against weather?
>>736896656Sure is. One is behind a waterfall for sure, and there's an animal fur cloak you can farm. They're from separate sets though, so you'll be mix and matching.
This game is a couple steps away from totally replacing Dragon's Dogma in my headspace. All it really needs is big monsters roaming the wilderness, and to turn Damiane and Oongka into a proper adventuring party without having to summon them.
>can hide all gear nowbased. took them long enough
>>736894910What are the chances this was always the solution to the auto aim from npcs?
>>736896902I like that, for the most part, the game lets you get away with a ton of shenanigans. Most devs would reset things or outright make a quest fail if you take one step outside of the box. I want to say 95% of quests and encounters in CD are very freeform... although there absolutely was at least one developer in Pearl Abyss that subscribed to the "Rockstar School of Quest Design".
>>736896656>at give me cold resistance against weather?You need total of 5 ice resistance for that. Either get a +3 ice resistance cloack and get lucky enough to find a couple of +1 ice resistance abyss gears and socket them into something or play till chapter 4, you'll unlock a move called "focused force palm" which will allow you to break bismuth boulders which block caves with loot then there's a cave with an item called "Raindeer cloak" which gives +5 ice reistance (and deer disguise) which is in a cave near scholastone institute (google the location) or u can drop a deer hat (gives same stats as above item) from a staglord acolyte (faction quest which is also aviable in chapter 4)
>>736896862The companion system is surprisingly shit for something they've had as a gameplay concept since the beginning.>summoning them requires you to reload>can't take them with you on quests, also prompting a reload>their pathfinding is horrible, they have to teleport around to keep up with you>combat AI is abysmal, worse than random bandits I would say
>>736889227Do one of the greymane quests or get one of the free "on top of the mountain" ones.
>>736897189I'll have to find that deer hat, I found one region my raindeer cloak wasn't good enough for. I finished the cold tower with it but this other region didn't seem the same.
>>736896974I love a lot of shit about this game but I want to beat the everloving shit out of whoever decided X attack or Y skill is the only one that works for certain things. >Oh sorry Anon you need to first set fire to the palisade then use spinning slash.>Can't I just... attack it?>No.Same with 90% of the puzzle interactions, or the final boss.
>>736896613I know there are lots of accusations about this game just throwing in whatever without really thinking about why it should be in there. The train is the most quintessential example of this. There is absolutely nothing in the train, the front car can't even be accessed or controlled, there aren't any interesting paths or anything related to it at all. It's just... there.
>>736897235>something they've had as a gameplay concept since the beginningoongka and damiane started being showed in trailers really late so i doubt they were since beginning of development. its another scope creep feature they decided to keep but half ass.
>>736897409nope, as early as 2020 they showed off not only naira and oongka fighting, but even yann.
>>736897492source? Just because they showed characters fighting in cutscenes doesnt mean they planned them to be playable or proper companions that follow you.
>>736897364>the front car can't even be accessedI got into the front car. Just cling on the edge, crawl down and into the main engine. However I decided to jump while I was there an instantly died.
>>736897560https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQRBqqpV3M&t=184sTime stamp starts right when Yann fights. You can tell its him because of the head and especially the dual blades (not at all compared to dual swords for Kliff). You will also see Naira a bit later with her bow and not gun. Damiane ended up getting the same exact kick skills we see there too. There are also the tag team skills with Oongka that we lost.
>>736897409>oongka and damiane started being showed in trailers really latethey were shown in the earliest gameplay footage>>736897560https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQRBqqpV3Mdamiane was changed though
>>736897189>You need total of 5 ice resistance for that. Oooooh so I need a total of 5 ice or fire resistance for it to work with weather? Just some combination of clothing right?
Are you a cozy camper? I'm feelin' extra cozy tonight if you know what I mean ¬‿¬
>>736897885Pretty much. Individual points mean nothing though, since it works off of tiers. The first tier is five points, and gets resistance. Goes up to three tiers, at fifteen points, which is immunity.
>>736897709>>736897723>such early build already had so many designs,features and animations final release hasBizzare honestly and shows insane scope creep they had. 99% of games 5 years before release have barebones prototypes/vertical slices with everything being placeholder at most not this lmao.
>>736898041Nah it was super early. Look at all the dropped weapons sounding like dinner plates despite dropping on snowy grass. Look at the barebones stamina bar of the enemies. Look at the 5 fps on a prototype build. And these were just vertical slices on top of it, something to show off what they intended to build, not what was actually reliably working.
>>736897297Kliff McLancelot
>>736898041yeah they had a lot of stuff even back then, just shows how big the game is now though
>cant refine one of the coolest armor chest pieces ever (Frostcursed)whats the fucking POINT?
>>736898360I really hope they release modding tools to make rebalancing the game easy, I would make a huge mod that let us use more of the item specific abilities at all times and stuff.
>>736887973Meteor Kick
>>736887973Artillery support
i finally 10x'd my initial investment of 8 gold bars
>>736898360That's when I bust out>SWISS Knife Save Editor and Game Mods
>sperging out about balance in a single player game
>>736898693Yes. They really can't balance abyss gears so that its more interesting? How about that Vitality III which restores 0.6 health per second. What a hard choice.
>watch some early videos>it looks like they straight up dropped their own pre baked lighting solution on an engine level for RTGILook at how different lighting is here and its not that old of an buildhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=1ItNYP9U1M0This would also explain issues with lighting in a lot of places and such since they pivoted for ray traced solution so late in development probably because some faggy management saw how its a new shiny thing.
>>736898759I wonder why devs do that. The particles and water reflections are really nice.
>You have to turn both hour and minute hands at the same time to turn blue>we never said you had to move each individually Fuck off puzzle dev
Does this game control similarly to Black Desert on KB+M?
>>736898360the whole armor set is really cool but its fucking shit stats-wise because the cloak and chest has no sockets or refinements
>>736898828Considering how this game is a lot of mechanics from other titles put together because directors and management though they're cool my assumption that they saw raytracing shilling in last couple of years and just decided to shift towards RTGI late is probably correct. This obviously for massive open world title created issues so stuff like denoiser creating dogshit ghosting and weird conflicts with upscalers. Some other games did this too like that Indiana Jones game that is able to run some parts of the game using software based RT on Linux but later levels become unplayable because lighting gets completly broken which clearly indicates they shifted to RTGI later in development too. Im pretty sure Doom Dark Ages did this shit too and game wasnt being made with raytraced lighting from start they just pivoted to that solution during development.
>>736895417Fuck these quests. I've encountered three of them in Hernand alone.
>>736895417>>736899138Sometimes PA's MMO mindset slips in and in this case it's extremely shitty.
war...war is hell
>>736898759>>736898828No, they decided to future proof the engine. Baked lighting on a world that massive is a huge time sink, massive cost, and is not scalable. To force it to work, they only sample 1/16. Basically they shoot one ray per 4x4 pixels. The bare minimum for path tracing while also using caches like SHaRC and smart resampling techniques like reSTIR are ~2 rays per pixel. As in 2 for every singular pixel. And to keep things further performant, they keep the past 20 frames of lighting data to further reduce costs, which is why you see that very ugly smeary ghosting, and also night time glowing trail that takes 3 full seconds to resolve an fade out. If you can appreciate just how low resolution that is, you'd actually be very impressed at how their denoiser and proprietary reSTIR-like implementation gets it barely usable like that. And this is also how they have real ray tracing run as a baseline on weak hardware. So when the PC poverty race and PS6 comes around, they can instantly bump up the sampling rate to 2x2, and suddenly you'll have double the resolution for lighting, and literally everything that was a problem before will be dramatically improved. No legacy cruft or tech debt to deal with later, just flip the proverbial switch.
>>736899202is electric the best infuse element? ive been using heat for everything since it has the volcanic eruptions. animals also get heavily stunned by heat, they just start rolling around and you can keep chaining fire over and over again. maybe electric is better for humanoids?
>>736899130>>736899223I mean changing tons of things they already did, I don't really care about the ray tracing. Seems kinda obvious the entire game just worked and was looking like that but then they scrapped a ton of stuff.
>>736899296Electric can stun enemies, and absolutely wrecks machines. Thankfully, the "double stack" trick for fire also works for electricity, since it also has two abyss gears that synergize with one another.
>>736898360and worst yet when you do enhance it(via kuku workshop) you lose the ability to dye it. absolute baffling decision on top of not being able to refine it or put gears onto it, same with the equally as good looking scorchflame chest.instead of fixing this shit they think a few more armours and outfits added soon will make up for it, and they better be top notch
>>736898759>the fever dream intro wasn't a last minute addition after allHuh. Wonder who thought it was a good idea in the first place.
Done for the night. Got really mad at my last puzzle, bad instructions as if ran through a bad translation program, and Kliff already knowing where to go next without clues or guidance from relevant npcs
>>736899328i must give it another try.> absolutely wrecks machinesmakes sense, yet i haven't encountered machines yet. well, ive been doing pailune stuff so fire probably works better for me there. maybe switch to electric once im back in demeniss. I wonder what cold and wind are good for.
>>736899328>Electric can stun enemies, and absolutely wrecks machines.All elements are very op, just see how punishing it is for Kliff
Kuhhh...
>>736899450From what I can piece together, the intro didn't get added in haphazardly... it's almost everything else that got added, removed, or shifted around. After reading some in-game books after finishing the main story, I can actually see the barebones idea of what the original story was... but holy fuck did they change a lot of it.
>>736899668puh-leeaasse
>>736899674In that video Kliff also actually speaks and reacts to things happening lol. They for some reason decided to cut that shit out too.
>Track theFUCK
>>736888543I’m about 60 hours in and just got all the camp stuff unlocked and am on chapter 7 of the main quest which has been huge battles with tons of npcs lately.
>>736896467He's bullshitting.
>>736899674It's not that they had no idea what to do with the story, but rather there was management change midway into production and investors wanted them to launch no matter the condition because they were running out of patience. The original story had more coherence and groundedness, but you can bet the game wouldn't be as expansive, ambitious, and kino as it is now. None of the kuku stuff, none of the other sandbox stuff that people appreciate about the game now. But because they added in more mechanics that allowed for all the sovlful emergent effects, it broke the story that it originally had, and they didn't have the time to recalibrate for it to make more sense. And lets be fucking honest, it's Korea. Their original story wasn't going to be any good either. So despite all the bitching and coping, I prefer whatever game this ended up as rather than what it was "supposed to be". It would have probably been an extremely vanilla and boring game.
I don't get the plot line around Hexe Marie and Crow Caller. Who is she. Why is she obsessed with Kliff? Why does she factor into the spirit quest in Chapter 9?
>>736900227It's explained very poorly, but basically: Repeated timeline resets. Alustin (the old dude in the cloak you meet in the Abyss at the start) has been trying to fix whatever the fuck is happening for a LONG time. For reasons, Kliff is his vehicle for making this happen. He's failed every single time, resetting with each failure until, finally, he gets the Kliff we play who is an autistic boy scout. The last iteration, Goyen, was one of the failures, using his powers for himself, losing all the Greymanes, and dicking down Hexe Marie (based) and having crowchild with her. But all the resets kind of had side effects, like crowfuck existing despite the reset, Hexe Marie having a strangely magnetic pull toward you, and Goyen himself still being around... at least for a little while.
>>736888560What armor?
Who here /comfy/
>>736900324Oh, okay, never mind then. See, I'm still at Chapter 9 and this felt like such a weird, non sequitur plot line and somehow I assumed this was something from, like, an earlier draft of the script that somehow made it in with the context missing.But that makes sense within the metaphysics of the game, I guess. See, I actually kinda like the story. It's fun cheesy Asian high fantasy with pointlessly complicated metaphysics. I just wish so much of the exposition wasn't tucked away in the glossary and easily missable Visione flashbacks
>>736900687On paper I like it. In execution ,not so much. I do think they made the right call putting more effort and focus into the gameplay and worldbuilding than the story itself, but I still would have liked to see that story fully realized.
where do i get actual fire resistant clothing and how do i get access to the elements? i unlocked wind at some point and dont even remember how it happened, only realized it when I was leveling up
