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.
