I never know what to focus on... there's so many quests, so many new places to explore, so many different systems to learn, so many professions to focus on.. yet sometimes I end up just staring at how beautiful the world is... loving it

I'm feel very fortunate as it turns out BDO is the game I've been waiting on for a long time. The only thing I've found lacking in BDO is the lack of armor variety but the game is so good that it can be easily overlooked. AFAIC, its going to be hard for any other group of developers to improve on the AAA features that BDO offers. I hope its not the case but something tells me this may be the last quality AAA MMORPG we see in a good long while.
I was wrong.
This is a very good game, that offers a ton of stuff for a wide range of playstyles.
My expectation were way exceeded, I'm simply blown away.
Edit: This is the most RPG I've experienced in an MMORPG. Truly immersive, and feels like I'm playing a roleplaying game, not just an MMO.
Indeed.
I find myself intentionally doing things on the other side of the map just so I have to ride my horse more. Not just any horse, a t2 horse instead of the t3 horse I got for buying the game; just because I breed him and his pelt isn't common.
The learning of the system mechanics through the game play make it worth tolerating PvP.

The doom and gloomers are simply running out of things to say.
Soon you will find yourselves making blood sacrifices to the RNG gods for a favorable roll of the dice.

I like the challenge of making it there as long as the journey keeps me entertained.

There's so much to do, it's amazing.
For instance, there are premium items that help enchanting in various ways, so it will be less costly when RNG fail you. There are also premium items that boost one's item drop rate in various ways, so grinding is more "lucky". The former is not tradeable via the broker, the latter (one of those items at least) is, and it's constantly in demand.
But then again, while the RNG is my biggest distaste for this game, it doesn't hurt the game experience so much as to ruin it. Also, it is rare to see any MMO that doesn't rely heavily on RNG nowadays. So overall BDO, although not without flaws, is still a good game to enjoy.
The only downside I've had, so far, is that with doing everything (all the crafting, fishing, exploring, trading, etc) is that I am always almost out of inventory space!
I'm not super concerned about the heavy RNG for high end gear. I pretty much accept that I may never have high end , enchanted gear. and yes, I know I won't stand a chance in pvp against those that do. but I intend to continue doing what I'm doing now post lvl 45. I will flag for pvp and deal with the ganking while I continue to explore and fish
If I could manage to play Archeage for over 6 months with barely pvping I'm sure I can have quite a lot of fun in this game before reaching lvl 45.
most things are not all that hard once you've figured how it works.....and by then, you just scratch your head and ask yourself "how can something so simple be made so hard to understand?".....needless artificial complications.
despite that, i am enjoying it as well for the most part.
I disagree with the horrendously explained part. Only because I spent all morning doing quests for things I had already started doing. One quest lead me to almost a dozen other quests that were tutorials on everything from mining, to setting up production in a town. Hovering over the quest gave me a step by step instruction on doing everything I needed, right down to hiring a worker and having him farm potatoes for me, and setting up a refinery in a town to produce black powder or whatever it is you need to craft most stuff.
I'd been playing a week before I came across these quests.
Unintuitive yes, but only because it's things that we're familiar with from other MMO's that are done differently.
I've had a lot of face palming moments. Like when I realized I was doing conversations wrong; such a simple thing to overlook I felt stupid for having not realized it. It would have bit me if it was a snake.
The NA/EU version does not sell the items to help with enchanting in the cash shop and no items from the cash shop can be traded in game.
Also the "luck" items mentioned are in the cash shop, but it is relatively easy to get the max for this stat (+5) just through in game means.
