October Developer Commentary & New Karazad Accessories | Black Desert (Jonlaw98 Reacts)

I think a big issue with gear swaps is not that it isn't worth it to use them, but you need so much gear to be able to use them effectively that only a select few can realistically do it. If you don't have pen debos and you are running evasion offhand you wont kill anyone.

Grinding circles has never been fun.

J never addresses the cron problem....

Karazad Accessories are cool but we NEED more consistent ways to acquire MEANINGFUL amounts of Cron stones that isnt pay to win, vendor, or trying to spin the wheel of RNG on market outfits.
Keyword being "meaningful". Even if you got 100 cron stones from killing a world boss every time, that would be at least 35 world bosses youd have to participate in for a SINGLE pen blackstar attempt. Which at minimum is 3 or 4 days of going to every single world boss but its entirely unreasonable to assume someone can go to every one. Which would mean realistically about a week or 2 if not more give or take per pen blackstar attempts worth in cron stones. which imo is more than reasonable.(still not great but its at least something plus itd make world bosses lively again, even all the forgotten ones)

Wait can (TET) Distos also be converted? Or does it have to be (PEN)?

Yeah no one is going to interact with hardcore. As Jon said most people dont even like interacting with pvp at all, let alone at a "hardcore" level.
but the bigger takeaway i get from this is im glad Jon even as someone who enjoys pvp, admits that the majority of people dont. Cause lots of other content creators and their audiences absolutely REFUSE to admit it

I wish crons were 2 mil again.

Wizard mains are so pissed

Talking about pvp, when are you going to upload some pvp action Jon? would love to see your DK in action

There is a party finder board but its not really advertised or very updated. Called Find Party/Platoon in menu

if the cost of going from PEN Karazad to NOV Karazad is too high compared to TET to PEN Deboreka, then it's a trap (like godr) to convert early.

there's also the question of price of building them from scratch melting cheap pen accs instead of exchanging debos for anyone who doesn't have them.
the spots that drop related materials in LOML will likely have high gear requirements so you probably need debos to even grind it.

it could easily end up being content that is not used by anyone without multiple pen debos (you lose set bonus (+12 or +8) for +4 ap per item, +1 sheet NOV acc... likely resulting in AP loss unless you convert multiple pens at once.)

if the crystal slots on the karazad accs were "gain stat" instead of "lose ap, gain stat" they would be more worthwhile to exchange from TET Debo even if getting to NOV would be more expensive that route because of the short-term gains. but in the current state of the game trading AP for ACC isn't good, and certainly not if it adds even more cost.

I wish they would update the earnings of Life skills, I can only handle killing mobs for like 1-3 hrs tops 1-2x a week and life skills don’t earn enough so I personally feel like I’m never gonna hit endgame considering they don’t update console anymore and I restarted on PC and today it feels so much harder honestly. I have be considering uninstalling because I don’t feel like I’ll be able to do what I wanna do in a reasonable time it will take years due to only way I can make money is kill mobs that I can’t even do yet. Nor do I like doing because it is boring to me. Rework dungeons so they pay more. Make a hard mode that’s more challenging for Vets on dungeons. Leave the easy modes so ppl not at end game can also participate and do something that’s not grinding mobs but makes them pay better.

I think a reason for Elvia/Dekiah was revival of older spots and they said they can’t expand the world outside of the demon land due to engine. 😢 which is why I think they where gonna end the game but then decided to do a new world.

Thanks for watching! Hope you all have a great day
