YOU WILL NEED PLUS IN ORDER TO PLAY ONLINE! Like A lot of the games on Playstation now!

Will be pre-ordering soon. I just have to decide if I go regular or deluxe. A seemingly perfect play at your own pace, mostly solo, action rpg.

I am curious what classes will be available at launch.

I just noticed in an old Xbox one video the standard edition was only $10. Hopefully that means we get more then the 6 starting classes the Xbox had at launch. Otherwise what a rip off it would be at 3 times the price

Playing since the PC US launch. I did the $29 - it goes on sale all the time and includes the horse and a pet you pick.

Not sure worth the $99 one.

@Agramonte you dont need to get these editions/preorder. I heard this will change when it releases this is just a add-on bonus thing for people who want more. and want to play 48hour early play, before its release.

Are all the bonus stuff exclusive cosmetics? What about the horses, can you unlock them eventually just from playing the game?

@Agramonte would you recommend the standard edition then?

@WanderingBullet

(This is on PC)

1. You can get level 5 horses by playing the game. You can also tame one in-world. It is a mini game... they roaming around. It is a level 1 quest and they give you all the tools to start for free.

You can also buy other players old horses at stables. In 6 months you can choose a Free T8 horse - with the best skill- if you do log-in rewards (other prizes also available, T8 horse is just 1 of them)

2. The "Pet" you cant get in-world. You either buy with pearls ($11 Hawk. $9 Dog) or can get one at events (like a penguin).

They not for show... they pick up the stuff when you grind so you don't need to do it manually after each kill. You can have 2 out at the same time. You also get a Cat or a Dog after 5,000 hrs in game time for free.

3. 30 day Value pack are $15 or 88 Million in-game money at the auction house.

4. 1000 pearls is $10 at the shop.

5. Calpheon Charger Horse gear is $20 at the shop. You can get one in-game, not as nice. But nicer ones at the shop for same price.

6. Horse flute permanent is $15 - you call your mount if a few feet away (to far it will not hear you). I ended up buying one - my pack only had a "7 days" (But not needed, you can just go find your horse)

7. Combat/Life/Skill EXP Scrolls they give as attendance rewards (log-in)

We getting 3 of each this month. You can also get them for 300 "loyalty points"... it is another shop. You get 100 loyalty points for each day you log-in.

8. Storage Maid x1 is $12 at the shop (they let you take one thing from your city storage each 1 hr if you in the field) you get one for free after 10,000 hrs in-game time.

9. Elion's Tear (x5) you can get with 100 loyalty points (X1) See point 7

10. Outfit sets ARE EXPENSIVE... $22 to $35. I finally got one at the auction house at level 60 with 179million in-game cash... 😂😂

But they just cosmetics (-10 death penalty or -5% weapon deterioration) they not actually Armor or weapons. Thing is BD is Not like Final Fantasy, The actual in-game armor is Horrid looking.

@Kittysennpiie I do not mean it that way. I was not taking the free pearls you getting on PS4 into account. first 2 not bad at all.

@Agramonte Its most likely cause we're talking about sony here, they picky LOOL. But I heard from some people the game will go down in price when released. But I have no Idea. . sounds like a good little bundle. I have the game on PC but I can't play due to Lag and bad FPS etc. So Ps4 is my next choice to play it, I've been waiting to play it for years. oof.

@WanderingBullet i think you can unlock them as you play. But don't correct me as I haven't played the game myself. >

So is it pay to win?

@ellsworth004 a lot of people say it is. But honestly I think a lot of MMO's have some sort of Pay to Win side. Lol

@ellsworth004 not from what I have read online, but I have not played it.

It looks like the standard edition is the way to go then

@Kittysennpiie Actually now I am not sure... because these have a lot more Pearls... so you can get what you want instead.

3,000 pearls is $30 and the flute is $15. I payed 29 but still had to get the flute 🤔

@Elodin I would recommend anything but the $99

If you dropping $100 on this game, just buy the things you really want in the game shop.

The $44 comes with $20 worth of pearls (2,000) so the game pack is only $24

@Kittysennpiie @ellsworth004 I would not say it is P2W but like always people find ways.

They buy a bunch of "30 Day Value packs" and sell them in the auction house for 88 Million each and use it to buy in-game gear.

But it is super expensive to do that. Items you bought with real money, gets a 30% hit in taxes if you sell them for in-game money. But some still do it.

The game is more based on Gear than levels. DP+AP determine tons (adding gear stats and a multiplier). So some guy can smoke you in PVP if they made a few 100 millions that way and have better gear (even if a few levels under you)

But All the $22 "Armor and weapon sets" in the shop are cosmetics. They have BS perks like -10% death penalty. Not P2W at the shop itself.

@Agramonte seems about right. I'll most likely wait till the last few days of pre - order.. before I make a decision. I was thinking the $44.99 (USD) one but I dont know yet.

I have this on Xbox game pass but haven’t got around to playing it yet 😟

@Kittysennpiie Yeah, I didn't notice the pearls. I payed $45 after buying the flute.

I feel I have gotten my moneys worth. And once you level, you really can play for free.

Start AFK Auto-fishing at rivers, Ancient Relics sell @1.8 Million each and your character can fish them while you sleep or at work 😄

@Agramonte Thanks for the info!

"Thing is BD is Not like Final Fantasy, The actual in-game armor is Horrid looking."

How so?

Anyways, I'm actually thinking of getting this game but I think I'll wait for reviews as well as see how the server connections performs on consoles.

@Agramonte Thank you the response. What can 2000 pearls buy you? If it's not that important, I'll stick with standard edition.

@Agramonte So, is this more of an RPG (like ESO) or more like Monster Hunter?

@WanderingBullet Well in Final fantasy XIV even the starting gear looked cool to me.

BDO looks like a medieval peasant. My 98,000,000 Lance/Shield ended up being dirt brown with flat wood texture 😅

So lots of players buy cool looking armor sets at the pearl shops. RED is the actual armor (gives AP+DP) BLUE is the "armor sets" you can buy with money (cosmetics).

Most marketing screen shot you see have Pearl shop stuff on them. In-Game armor does not look like that.

@Elodin Nothing you buy with pearls is really important. 2,000 pearls is $20

You can't buy Armor or Horses with Pearls. No Food or Health potions.

In 3 years I have bought a Horse Flute (cool to have, not needed) and "Black Spirit Essence" $2.

Basically you attach crystals on your armor slots for stats boost. By the time I got to collecting Boss Armor Sets, I had very expensive crystals (and hard to grind/make) on my old armor.

"Black Spirit Essence" lets you take them out without breaking them, and place them in your new armor.

Pets are good to have, but the lowest pack gives you 1. And at least on PC we've had 3 chances to get a free Penguin just from the Log-in rewards.

@Agramonte I see...lol Yeah, a lot of the gears sets in FFXIV do look cool.

@sanderson72 The entire main Story Quest line is Action RPG.

End Game is Joining a Clan (clan quest), Node Wars (PVP), Seasonal Events, Grind for Gear, weekly scrolls boss fights, Setting up a business at a main city, Investing with Gold, exploring new free updates... Standard online stuff.

Or you can SOLO a few days just setting up a shipyard, workers and PVE questing for parts to make an Epheria Sailboat and go look for islands (PVE you can play just about everything SOLO if you want)

It is an RPG.

@Agramonte how does that work? once you level up you really can play for free? ( and what does the flute do) ?

@Kittysennpiie Sorry, You can always play for free.

I mean once you level up a bit the "30 day Value pack" becomes less relevant or if you want one. Making 88 Million, is not that much money to make once you Grinding 20K+ items.

The flute calls your Horse/Camel/Elephant. So if you ride to a town and auto walk 3 places to complete a quest you simply hit the flute and the horse runs to you from where you parked it.

MOBS will agro and kill a parked horse (You can revive at the stables)... So if you go grind a mob, you park the horse a safe distance and once done you can just call it over.

Things like that... not a must - you can just walk back to it instead. Guess, I am just lazy 😅

To bad about the lag/FPS on your PC. You could do a 14 day free trial on it.

@Agramonte oooo so you have to literally buy that to get this feature? LOL can't earn it? that's nuts. haha

@Kittysennpiie I actually thought they had patched it out. You do not even use it from the inventory - just an icon on the screen.

Not something I have thought of in a really long time. So not a good source on that one.

@Agramonte ooo well thanks . Im a newbie .

@Kittysennpiie haha, I once told someone how to get a tripple float fishing rod and it turned out they had changed the entire quest line 🙃

Seems silly there is no way to get this in-game by now. Better just admit I dont know than have you waste $15 🙂

@Agramonte they changed the entire quest line O_O . well I will probably get the 44.99 bundle. because of everything thats in it. I definitely don't need the 89$ one lol. (ps+discount)

@Agramonte sorry to bother, but I was wondering do know if this is the Remastered version were getting or the OG BDO?

Also. I wonder how long it will take before they add the many other character classes to Ps4/console.

@Kittysennpiie That is a very good question. I would assume it is the Remastered version.

And it looks fantastic!... It has lots of ground pop-in. But it is just how the engine works.

You can see the Archer in the trailer. So could be only class missing is Shai. But we just got that on PC.

@Agramonte I looked at the Xbox One version. on youtube , and it looks like they only added the original classes, I wonder if that will be the same for Ps4 and they'll add the other classes down the line.

@Kittysennpiie oh, interesting. I guess they need to keep it fresh as they go. But I though XBOX got Shai already, and that is where we are on PC.

Would be nice to have all, but they give things for free (gold, item slot expansions, scrolls) when they launch a new class. We just got 52 "+525% experience" 60 min scrolls (1 loyalty point each at the shop)... People can use it to level up the class quickly. They also do events.

@Agramonte suppose gotta wait and see 22nd couldn't come any slower
