Ubicrap is the worst game publisher that currently exists.
My brother and I have been trying to play this game in co'op for years, it has never worked. Ubicrap has never done any to even acknowledge the issues.
Now Ubicrap has decided to throw the whole game in the bin by removing all online elements and features.
Screw you Ubicrap! NEVER FALLING FOR ANOTHER UBI-SCAM!

Black Desert Online isn't like a lot of other MMORPGs or even MMOs or RPGs (separately).

In many other gaming experiences, you very often know what you are supposed to do next, or are given very clear options. But in Black Desert there is so much you could do, so much to choose from, it can be very overwhelming.

Your objective (after you have finished the tutorial) is really what you choose it to be. that makes it sound unfocused, but I don't believe it to be unfocused; more, I view it as open.


Now don’t get me wrong; you have quests, inventory, even a story, all the normal MMO stuff; but what you choose to do with that, is up to you..

So you could decide to play it like other MMOs; level up, and kick those bad guys butts! (etc.)
Or (after you have finished the tutorial)
You might decide not to be a fighter, you might decide to be a fisherman (or woman), and never fight.
And that could work! Being a fisher is a profession in Black Desert; a real money making job. You could make enough money to buy a house, a horse, clothes, etc.

One of the best tips I have (that I learned from someone else), is “Take your time”. Sure you could rush through things. But if that is how you like to play, this might not be the game for you. This is an Asian MMO so it has a fair bit of grinding. You will need a bit of patience.
