The West side of the map is filled with forests, rivers and lakes, while the East side is a desert filled with sandstorms and deadly monsters. The primary way of travelling is on horse-back, and as you ride through the world you can feel the climate changing. As for the size of the map, compared to Archeage it is much smaller, but due to there being no fast travel in Black Desert, it actually makes it feel much bigger. It starts off cloudy and as you discover new areas it will start to be revealed. The in-game map is the most detailed maps I have ever seen in an MMO. The UI isn’t the best, but it is minimal and has options for moving, re-sizing and hiding each panel.
Archeage isn’t a bad looking game at all, but compared to Black Desert it is completely overshadowed. Once you get in the game, you’ll notice that Black Desert is a visually beautiful game. There are loads of great examples of what you can do and many people have created celebrity look-alike characters. You can customize the character completely and move each part of the body and face by dragging them. The character creation in Black Desert is really well done and EA should actually take some tips from them for the Sims 5. You can cast most of your skills on your horses back, all you need are horse stirrups to get you started.Ĭheck out the video below for an example of the combat system: There is also mounted combat, which is much better than the mounted combat in Archeage. If you can’t get used to this amazing system, then the hot-bar option is still available for you. It feels like you are completely in control of the character and eventually your muscle memory will take over and you’ll find yourself pressing the buttons without even thinking about it. The combos themselves can get really complex but they are easy to memorize and make the combat feel so much more realistic and fluid. For example, one skill combo might be: S + Right-click + A + Left-Click. Most people compare the combat to Vindictus. It’s similar to the combat system in TERA but it takes it either further by introducing keystroke combos for each skill. The combat system in Black Desert is so different to every other MMO. With the exception of a few, the combat style is so fast paced and it looks quite complex at first. The current classes are: Warrior, Giant, Ranger, Sorceress, Valkyrie, Tamer, Blader, Plum (Female Blader), Wizard, Witch, Kunoichi (Female Ninja), and Ninja.
Within 4-5 months, there were 5 new character releases. On the Korean version there are a total of 11 classes with more planned for the future. Black Desert class system is more traditional and some classes are even gender locked. Now, I can’t fault the class system in Archeage at all. It’s been hard to trust another Korean MMO again, but I have so much faith in Black Desert. That is until I started playing Black Desert. After I finally quit Archeage for good, I had an MMO shaped hole in my heart and nothing was able to fill it. I’m sure many would agree when I say that the P2W aspects and poor management of the game was what killed it for us all. There was so much content and it had so many amazing features that make me compare it to every other MMO I have played since.
I would like to start off by saying that I loved Archeage.
