There is a necklace where you hit l2 and r2 to make it rain
Also one for sun
The Hidden One@TheHiddenOneAC
I've only seen rain about 3 times in Crimson Desert in 50 hours. I wish they increase the spawn rate more in the future.
English
@Fleechiru And yet it's got a great metacritic score and hailed as a masterpiece. That's the point, they get shit for the same things, yet TOTK gets a big rating bonus just because it's a Nintendo game with "Zelda" in the title.
English
tears of the kingdom, famously never criticized for its writing
Synth Potato🥔@SynthPotato
I’ll always find it strange how bad writing is seen as a massive issue for Crimson Desert but Breath of the Wild and TOTK both get away with having the most basic, generic writing and boring storytelling. Why do some games get a pass for focusing on gameplay & others don’t?
English
@Swurv__ Wide as an ocean deep as a shot glass. Literally don't know how you play a game with nothing interesting going for it.
English
@DualSenseDave @SeraArzud @Marcodmeatball I also have a 5070ti. With RR and dlss performance I get maybe 45fps. If you use frame gen it goes down to the 30s. Which means a LOT of latency (70+) I should mention I'm playing at 4k. It might be okay at 1440.
English
@SeraArzud @Phoenixking142 @Marcodmeatball My 5070ti is far less superior to a 4090. I can show proof that he is wrong.
English
@Marcodmeatball @SeraArzud Anything less than a 4090 can't comfortably use rr. And even a 4090 needs dlss performance to hit 60 fps consistently
English
@SeraArzud RR causes my game to stutter. Not sure why, I have a monster PC.
English
@Tewlipz @Critical_Scribe Well it wouldn't be nearly as good if Ubisoft released it. That's kind of the point...
English
@Critical_Scribe At least half the people glazing Crimson Desert would not be doing that if Ubisoft had been the ones releasing it
English
I don’t mind someone enjoying something.
It’s when they are toxically positive about it that I have to push back against it.
“I enjoy this a lot!” Is totally fine, I am a supreme 6/10 game enjoyer.
“This is genre defining and your guys just don’t understand how brilliant this is” for something that is relatively just ok in its execution is where the discourse starts going off track.

@jeremyhopke @Kleanisklean @CrimsonDesert_ It's ray reconstruction. It looks great but completely butchers performance. Turn dlss back on but then make sure RR is off.
English
@Kleanisklean @CrimsonDesert_ Idk whats up with my PC but if I turn on DLSS my PC is at like 25fps. I don't get it. Runs at 70 fps on ultra without it anyways so screw it.
English
Might of found the secret settings sauce for @CrimsonDesert_
Cinematic everything but use DLSS 4.0 Balanced and Ray Reconstruction on.
Basically looks native and very steady fps without frame gen. Averaging around 85 fps.
Really seems like this preset was made for RR.
English
@Kleanisklean @CrimsonDesert_ Dog you can't give settings for a 5090 and think it'll help anyone...
English
@fromsoftserve And I’m not joking. On the other side, if you missed it, go take a look around.
English
@KhrazeGAMING I beat Reed Devil first try with like, 4 clear soups -_-
Wish I got to fight a hard boss, but no, y'all had to complain...
English
unpopular opinion, but dragon cd is fine and so are the restrictions
Also they should've not nerf the bosses this much with the patch today
Blaine Smith@GHBSmith
The dragon in Crimson Desert is 100% permanent. Unlocked during the latter stages of the story, and can be used to explore Pywel. It does have a very long cooldown timer (nearly an hour) and does have issues with summoning/locations that wastes the summon and starts the timer
English
@WillJPowers @SpawnYaardReply I agree with Yankee, there's not much point in riding something if you can't tame it permanently. Maybe some kind of compromise where you have to feed your wolf or bear meat once a day or they start to go feral.
English
@SpawnYaardReply I think the intention is in the temporary tent until you have the camp unlocked

WTF Crimson Desert added the option to store your items but when you go to store your item, the stash/trunk is not there anymore after the update? LMAO
It clearly says in the patch notes
"The Private Storage is located at the initial temporary lodgings in Hernand and at the Howling Hill Camp"
SpawnYaard 🎮@SpawnYaardReply
Crimson Desert now has Private storage🥳( full update list in the comment) A new patch is rolling out with the following update: 🔹Added the Private Storage that can be used to store items from your Inventory. - The Private Storage is located at the initial temporary lodgings in Hernand and at the Howling Hill Camp. Reduced the time required to acquire knowledge. 🔹Reduced the number of hits required to log trees. 🔹Decreased the QTE difficulty in the Arm Wrestling minigame when pinned by an opponent (Mount). 🔹Improved Visione to equip automatically after reading memory clues with the Lantern. 🔹Improved camera movement when aiming a bow at a brazier and adjusted the range for lighting arrows accordingly.

@ChronoKatie Can't say I've played forbidden west, but the first game was genuinely so terrible that I have zero interest in touching this one
English
@Okami13_ Some of these are good, but I don't like just removing friction for the sake of it. Storage chest and jump responsiveness are great. More fast travel, decreased enemy damage, and making the already easy mini games easier are not great.
English
Crimson Desert Patch 1.0.3 is out now:
Patch Highlights:
• Added a storage chest to the camp
• Added more Fast Travel points

English
@OffDutyMedia @GamingSinceNES You get an abyss artifact (skill point). Red Dead had the exact same style missions. It's optional
English
@GamingSinceNES What was the purpose of this quest and what do you get for it ?
English
Had to come back to this challenge that Crimson Desert gave me, having to go from one side of the map to the other in 40 mins on horseback. 🥲
It took me a total of 18:44 in game minutes to do it but more like 27 minutes in total with having to keep looking at my map.🤸♂️
Gaming Since NES@GamingSinceNES
These Crimson Desert devs have LOST their minds. They really want you to ride across the map, with a 40 minute timer to get a skill point. MAAAAANNNNN... Maybe another time lol
English
@anglersj24 @GhillieYT It's the big blue circle at the top of the stamina tree
English
@GhillieYT How do you upgrade stamina? I can’t fly more than a few seconds before falling to the ground
English
@idonotexistelol People are putting zero thought into the game and then calling it trash because it doesn't spoon feed you every micro detail of every interaction. The intro makes perfect sense if you think about it for any amount of time
English
I LIKE PAINT MARKERS IN GAMES BECAUSE I GET LOST EASILY

@TouristPlays @pcgamer Marathon and highguard aren't single player adventure games... the 1st match of highguard and the 372nd match of highguard will be the exact same
English
No. If marathon and highguard did not get the same generosity, this shouldn’t. You either like it in the first hour or not. Don’t care much about differences, they’re all just bunch of video games. Whether you liked it or not just say so instead of pandering on what your audience might perceive of you.
English
If there's one thing I've learned playing Crimson Desert for 75 hours, it's that you should absolutely treat this game as a slow burn pcgamer.com/games/action/i…
English
@Pacifist_Elk Bro, THANK you. I almost made this thread myself, but you took the words from my mouth. Everything kliff does makes sense, but people are so used to an npc or the protagonist announcing their reasons for everything.
English
Ironically, I think the key missing ingredient from Crimson Desert's story telling that is making it more difficult for people who don't mind other 7/10 level stories in games is the lack of "Focus M" kind of dialogue.
English
@GPrime85 Why does someone have to come up to you and say "go do this"? You go into town because kliff wants to look for Greymanes, you go into the tavern because kliff wants a drink. You arm wrestle cause kliff thinks it's easy cash. You give a coin to a beggar cause kliffs a good person
English
> Die in combat
> Wake up in a fishing hamlet
> Fight bandits

> Arm wrestle a rando

> Rescue a cat from a roof
> Sweep a chimney
> Unlock a random door in a castle
> This is the main quest
> The only thing telling you to do this is your radar
...this is a 70 dollar game
