@nib95_ I've been enjoying it since day 1, and it's only got better since, what with all the QoL updates. Normally I'd say it's easily a GOTY contender for me, but there's a certain other game coming out in November...
I get Crimson Desert has had many updates & isn't the same game critics played, but so far I'm FAR from critics on this one, just as I was with Black Myth WuKong
May drop off hard later but so far I'm LOVING it. A grandiose & ambitious amalgamation of fun systems. #CrimsonDesert
BREAKING🚨92% of burglaries in Britain went unsolved last year.
That means the vast majority of victims get no justice, no closure, no one held accountable
If that doesn’t concern you, it should.
What exactly are there priorities?
it’s ARRESTING people for Social Media posts!
So people on benefits are to get a 6.2% pay rise
MP's are to get an extra £64.00 as week/£3.3k a year pay increase
On top of their £100k a year & + unlimited expenses
Great news for ordinary working people, you get to pay for all of it.
You couldn’t make it up
3 things hit me after climbing here in Crimson Desert
> Didn’t expect to be able to get up here
> The draw distance is insane, just look at it
> This view hits me with how much I’ve barely touched
At the rate Pearl Abyss is patching Crimson Desert based on community feedback
I 100% think we’ll see them completely overhaul Chapters 1 and 2 so that CD no longer takes 6-8 hours to get great and open up.
I hope they make most of it optional so you get the camp sooner.
How Does Trading Work In Crimson Desert?
Once unlocked via Greymane's story progress (requires Wagon and/or horse, with trading tutorial quest complete), players can participate in Trading.
Trading involves taking trade goods and selling them to make a profit.
There are two types of Trade Goods. Unpackaged and Packaged.
All trade goods found on enemies, looted from containers, or obtained via Dispatch missions are by default Unpackaged Trade Goods.
Unpackaged Trade goods can be sold by Kliff to black market vendors to make silver.
The only other use I've found is packaging them at camp, turning them into Packaged Trade Goods. This is done by donating the Unpackaged Trade Goods to Carl at camp, the packaging will cost Kliff a small amount of resources.
Packaged Trade Goods can be sold, in stacks of at least 25, to various trading locations around Pywel.
The closest location is Goldleaf Guildhouse, a short distance South East of Howling Hills camp.
The idea is to check these trading locations regularly (map, highlight trade location, inspect) to see which items they are selling for cheap or buying for high.
The buy & sell price rotates on an in-game weekly basis.
Players can either purchase these trade goods directly from trade outposts or can farm them from various Dispatch missions.
Selling Packaged Trade Goods is a great way of earning a lot of camp money quickly, but it can involve a lot of travelling.
Generally, the idea is to use this to bolster Howling Hills Camps finances, and then use those finances to boost Conversion Bonuses on Dispatch missions.
By donating camp funds to donation boxes, players can get 150%+ bonuses to Dispatch mission rewards.
Ultimately, if you plan to stick with Crimson Desert long past launch, dive into new content when it comes, maximizing the Conversion Bonus is probably worth the time and effort.
Otherwise, it's probably better just to farm defensive missions in Dispatch for cash.
Crimson Desert looks SIGNIFICANTLY sharper on base PS5 Performance mode with today’s update, as it has added FSR3 upscaling.
The visual difference is instantly noticeable, especially on a 4K display according to my friends with base PS5.
Have you guys noticed a difference yet?
I was gonna wait until GTA VI for the PS5 Pro but sod the price hikes.
Doubt Argos stock will last long with this deal in the run up to 2nd April.
Kinda getting nervous about how much next gen is gonna cost at this rate 🫠
I've not played Crimson Desert for the last 3-4 days and I am having withdrawals lol. Don't want to play it tonight as I know I will loose my whole evening to it. maybe tomorrow evening as I have Monday off .
