When you level up or also as a reward from certain quests you’re rewarded skill points (similar in concept to WoW’s talent points). For a player new to MMOS (or used to others), elements of leveling in BDO can overwhelming. This all sounds so positive so why does BDO get such a mixed reaction (including from me)? For one thing, the level progression feels…well it almost feels a bit awkward and some have said it feels “lacking,” but I have a theory as to the reason for this. Combat feels more reactive and, well, challenging. Also, targeting is handled by a reticle, but it’s more like what direction you’re facing when you start attacking, whereas WoW has a straight forward targeting system. It makes the combat feel more fluid than a game like WoW, and in many ways (for me) much more rewarding. The abilities are built in such a way that they’re meant to be chained for combos, also meaning that animations don’t cut off others, they all chain together to create the combo. Unlike World of Warcraft where abilities are bound to keys and you’re queuing up one ability after the other, BDO’s abilities are bound to mouse button presses, combined with what direction you’re moving (and a few keys thrown in there). If you’ve played TERA then you already have some understanding of how BDO’s combat works. When it comes to the actual combat system, it’s a mixed bag.

An interesting point of note is the ability to save your creation for future use, or upload it to the “beauty album” and have other players rate and comment on your character, or download it themselves for their own use (I’ve downloaded many others creations and used them as templates). That being said, there are so many options that it’s very easy to get lost in the creator – either just overwhelmed with options, or lost meaning you’ve spent hours upon hours on it…or both. In terms of providing an insane character creator, BDO definitely without question delivers.

It’s something that’s 100% worth experiencing if you like creating characters like I do. Then there’s more basic things like a height slider, and with that comes body adjustment, allowing you to shape individual parts, like width and depth of the left and right thigh, length of each forearm, and also muscle definition. For example, every zone (part of the facial structure) on the face is adjustable, and each zone has multiple sliders for tweaking, to the point where I’m not even sure what some of them do. You can manipulate literally every part of your characters face in any way you please, giving you the ability to really mold a character to your liking. I’ve stated time and time again on posts that I’m aesthetically focused, and BDO gives you a toolbox bigger than any I’ve come across for creating your character. Nevermind choosing a class (I chose a sorceress – the effects looked really cool to me) the character creator, if you’re someone like me, is the best worst thing I’ve ever come across. When I first booted into the game and was presented with the character creator I was floored.

That’s where my experience falls – somewhere smack in the middle of really loving it, and feeling like it’s stale and recycled material. The sad truth is that it got and still gets a very mixed reaction.
BLACK DESERT ONLINE CHARACTER CREATOR CLOSED SERIES
It released first in Korea (the developer Pearl Abyss is a Korean company) in 2014, then underwent a series of closed/open beta tests before it was unleashed on NA/EU regions in 2016. It was hailed as the next big MMO – a borderline revolutionary sandbox online game with reactive and engaging combat, realistic graphics, a seamless open world, and the best character creator you’ve ever seen. Black Desert Online (or BDO for short) was supposed to be a game changer.
