Current Events > Black Desert Online is so visually overwhelming and confusing lol wtf

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am sure there's a way to disable/change all this, but...

I have constant pop-ups on my screen about people leveling up. Not even leveling up like... to a max skill, just reaching level 3 in something.

I have constant pop-ups about gaining knowledge about enemies after defeating them and then sometimes the game gives me a random grade for completing an encounter but I don't know how it defines the end of an encounter since I'll get a grade while still attacking things.

There's an ability bar, which... has abilities in it that I can't even use for another 9 levels. And then a separate window that lists the controls, some of the controls activate the same abilities as what's in the ability hot bar but some aren't and there are a million and one combos, how am I supposed to remember "left down shift right mouse forward left mouse" and shit like that.

I made the mistake of clicking on some resource node thing and it opened up a map to link things to other things with lists of items.

So fucking confusing.

Yeah it looks nice and I love how fluid/quick the combat is, but I feel like I'd need to just plug in to the game for a whole week straight without any sleep just to comprehend what's going on.

A bad UI and HUD that isn't adjustable can ruin a game IMO

Korean MMOs in a nutshell. It especially sucks for BDO because the combat is amazing (or at least it was in the dev's previous game, C9, but I didn't play enough of BDO to compare).
