54g patch on Steam for the DLC+Patch. Edit: Pretty buggy, as expected. Must be something on my end, I think. Installed various older drivers. Uninstalled / reinstalled / verified, etc. Game loads, compiles shaders fine. Then it will crash as Kliff is walking to the cube of light. Edit: Finally...

Two nice QoL changes i e seen so far have been that new Damaine and Oongka get the same amount of ability points to spend as Kliff, and now you can extract resources you put into gear you've enhanced without destroying that gear. You get 75% of the basic resources and all the artifacts/scales.

Finally finished the MSQ, and to be honest, it was OK up til the Golden Dragon fight onward, at that point it was just bad. Bad fights, bad pacing, just bad. The game is at its absolute best when you ignore the MSQ and just go explore the world doing the little side quests / regional stuff...

TLDR reddit post for a podcast today with Will talking about the DLC, some interesting tidbits in there (like all 3 characters becoming main characters in future updates):

I recommend alternating between MSQ and exploration/regional quests.

The 5070ti has been amazing for me.

For those who may find the game to be too bright/blown out sometimes, go into Options / Accessibility / Visual Aid and adjust that setting to find what looks best. Helps a lot.

For those who liked CD and are getting the DLC, but haven't played in months, I'd recommend getting back into it before the DLC drops. Takes a bit to get used to the control setup, plus all the skills got reset so you'll need to redo your build.

Not that I'm aware of, but they certainly made them both a lot more playable by adding skills / abilities to them that allowed them to do everything that only Cliff could do. The DLC apparently has a storyline for both, no idea how deep or even if those storylines will be necessary.

Way more than that, like waaaaay more. You need 700 skins in less than 2 weeks. All I can come up with is to do what you mentioned, but also spend many thousands to use Mileage to buy out the +% higher skins during combines.

I'm sure it will be less than rebuilding that northern town/moving the camp. I enjoyed using the ship, up until they added the Currents system to BDO, then I just stopped, lol. Never got back into it even after they revamped sailing dailies and made all the near coast waters equal ocean waters.

I want to know how they were able to achieve "Empty Closet" so quickly, you can't swipe RNG on getting all those unique skins (afaik).

The Ocean content has me hyped more than anything. Though that "start gathering resources to build your ship" part brings back nightmares of building my Epheria sailboat in BDO.

Right? I'll 100% play the dlc... when they are done with inevitable patch cycle for it, but I still have to finish off the MSQ. I'm looking forward to it.

Haven't tried her out yet, but I think from what I've read she is fairly weak, which is a good thing. She should get buffed a couple times in upcoming patches.
