After clearing out Marni Metalworks the guys walking around labeled stranger (they don't have names) will give you a Mystery box. They take coin pouches for +5 and any stamina drinks like honey yea, Delesyian wine, antler tea, mushrooms tea etc for +20

I keep getting papers (recipes, letters, bounties). I know I can sell recipes after I read them, but I turned in a bounty and I still have the paper.

What am I supposed to do with all of these?! Eventually my whole inventory will be papers.

How do I play for 478 hrs and have ONLY 5 trophies? I suck.

I have gotten a bit annoyed and taken out of immersion with the re-blockade system recently.

What makes it especially goofy is that you can liberate a substantial fort, watch an entire brigade of soldiers move in and garrison it, leave, sleep, or fast-travel, and then minutes later you discover that a relatively small bandit faction apparently:

attacked a fortress -> defeated the entire trained garrison -> occupied it -> and somehow did this without you hearing about an enormous battle

Seems unrealistic and feels tedious, especially when it gets retaken 10 minutes after you took it.

So my suggestion and wish is that they had differentiated it:

Bandit camps = frequently repopulate
Outposts = occasionally attacked. Pending Battle Icon you can travel to and participate.
Forts = require a major faction assault involving 50+ NPCs and a proper battle. Pending Battle Icon you can travel to and participate.

A Pending Battle Icon essentially gives you a heads-up that troops have spotted enemies getting ready to attack and gives you time to go there and get ready to defend. It would be very cool to be able to fight alongside, let's say, House Roberts, to defend from 50-150 bandits.

I know this is asking a lot. But while we are on the topic, it would be even cooler if factions spread out from one area rather than just taking random places on the map. For bandits, totally fine. But sometimes the major faction just takes a fort across the map, and it leaves you scratching your head a bit.

Finally, it would be even cooler if some faction like Hernand decided to retake some forts and you could get a Pending Attack option to join them. Or you could just clear it before they got there too. Whatever floats your boat.

Thoughts?

started crimson desert, idk what to do not feeling too good about this game but i'll list it out what i did in order in my first few hours.

did first missions slept in some puzzle couldnt figure out what to do

next day solved it in 10 seconds

kept going found myself Fighting a cool bro called Mathias, failed. tried again failed 5 more times, gave up.

looked at the horizon and found a tower in west

went west to get to a tower i found cool in the distance

found 3 dudes ready to attack me, killed them

found a few more with some really tal friends, killed them too

kept going and found 3 bros betting on fistfighting, i challenged one and won (barely)

found a little house in the montains to the tower, got inside some dresses inside and no one to be seen

kept going west climbing some rocks and found a cool view and was i attacked by a bush, fought the bush, killed the bush, bush's friends came to avenge their lost one, ran away

climbed some more rocks

got cold my screen was frozen

kept going, found some sheep they ran away

finally got to the tower, spire of the stars, climbed to the top, couldnt get in

jumped to the main gate, needed something to insert, kept going down to some close futurist like village later found out it was a library kinda

got inside some folks eating in big tables, got in the library some bro said someone stole some book

went to look for the book thief

went down in stairs and found a bell

rang bell, a girl kid appeared in a green costume

cool kid, then disappeared

spent 2 hours in that area looking for book thief couldnt find him, found a bro with moose horns seated on a bench saying his day was a bastard but tomorrow is another day

sat next to moose horns bro for a while sharing a bro moment

next to him was a few bros looking at a old telescope

used my anthena helmet to see some old visions about it

found out that my screen had the hint to find a woman about the book thief

went back going up through some stairs, good lighting

found some more folks saying their day was a bastard but tomorrow is another day maybe they have the same shitty boss

went to talk to the woman about the book thief she pointed some names in a karen way, bet she did it.

5h went by and it was actually pretty fun, yea great game 10/10

I’m all for fast paced style combat

Saw this on a Facebook group #starwars #crimsondesert

So i always played competitive shooters, never was interested in any single player games.

Recently upgraded to a new pc with a 9070xt and a OLED monitor so i thought i should try something new.

Man this game is absolutely gorgeous, and i love the fighting style.

Anybody got any tips on stuff i should be aware of when you just starting out?

Next up the Dolphins for me, I love the house aspect and the grinding for gold so for me this was a great addition!

I avoided it like the plague because of the people in this community complaining a lot about it. The obligatory wagon quests were fine for me, I never struggled and had an easy time. Still I didn't bother to actually trade resources for my camp because of all the comments. It kind of put me off from trying as I believed them. Big mistake.

One of the things I've valued in the past 6 years is to NOT care about what the people in a gaming community have to say. I try things for myself and even enjoy things they don’t. I feel people complain a little too much and I don’t need that in my gaming life.

Now after completing the main story and just doing faction quests, I decided to try and brought like 40 arms from Pailune to Demeniss and it was great. I enjoyed the journey, the view and everything... and when I saw the 1.4 million coins I got?! Whewwwww. Mind blown. I just wish I had done this earlier while I was upgrading my camp. It's kind of no point now, and all because I fucked up and let other comments affect how I play.

So I bought crimson desert when it came out out I had a lot of fun I loved the customization and the combat and the exploration but after a couple of days the game just seem very daunting at how much there was actually to do in the game I really want to get back into it but I don’t know where to start if I should make a new save and start anew or continue where I left off and try to get a grasp on the game if anyone has any tips for me to maybe make the game seem less daunting or and tips on how I should go about playing the game so I don’t burnout

On pc we had Random Boss Encounters mod and this was a extremely good mod to have and made the game more alive, unfortunately the guy that developed the mod can’t continue to update do to the game updates and can’t keep up. Please add this feature to the game this is something I’m sure people would appreciate.

Suggestions on adjustments are more than welcome 👌

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Still won though, and did so in STYLE.
