Moving from ESO to BDO!

I played ESO for 2 hours and i left due to being bored. My opinion that i give to everyone switching from one MMO to BDO.

  • Don't be overwhelmed, BDO is not linear like most MMOs especially western MMOs. A lot of things are left unexplained and you're going to feel like your head is spinning. My advice is to take it slow. Once you get a grip on the game then start exploring it's inner workings.

  • Leveling: Unlike most MMOs i wouldn't consider leveling to be the biggest goal in BDO, in fact once you reach level 56 (soft cap) i'd suggest you make leveling secondary priority as the grind from 56+ is literally mindbogglingly slow. That being said pretty much every aspect of the game is open to you at level 56.

  • RNG: They might aswell rename this game RNG desert. For all it's awesomeness RNG in this game can be quite punishing and unforgiving - but when it does roll in your favor you feel really great. The gearing in BDO is quit RNG prone, i won't go into it here as it is a lot to learn. But my advice is not to stress the RNG behind gearing. If you really hate RNG like me, farm in game currency and buy the gear. But once you understand the upgrade system it really isn't that bad.
