@RawnDawn Thank you, that's another way to find it I guess. Just before seeing your message I found out in the PS store you have to look at the standard edition of the game and scroll down to the Demos tab and there will be the beta download. For some reason they didn't just add the Beta to the store like normally.
I'm in the PS store now on my PS4 and I can't seem to find it...? I tried searching Black Desert with and without the word Beta added, I've also tried finding it through the other categories but no luck... where is it?
@D_D Personally, I think they simply MUST add the ability to play in Private Sessions, otherwise a massive chunk of players will be pissed and not just PvP haters. Like I said, I myself do enjoy PvP, but not the way most people seem to partake in it on GTA Online as an example. As for Passive Mode, I for one disliked it in GTA as many players always seemed to somehow find ways to glitch or cheat the system and still kill a passive player. Instead, what I think Rockstar should add in it's place is a system more like what most PC MMORPG's have. For example, require a player to invite another to a duel and have a 3 sec timer count down to start after the other accepts. They could even give players PvP settings similar to passive mode and identify the plays with a colored dot on the map, such as PvP Enabled (red dot) open to fight anyone, PvP Neutral (white dot) invite option required, and PvP Disabled (blue dot) no pvp period and auto reject invites. That would definitely make most players happier and hopefully give everyone what they want. It wouldn't even be that hard for Rockstar to program such a thing in the game. Plus, it would allow players to still play with randoms, meeting new people and making new friends, without upsetting anyone. Hell, the only players who would or should be upset after that would be those who just want to kill everyone, which to them I'd repeat my original statement of, "go play a PvP activity or another game built around PvP."
I really do hope they add Private Sessions soon, like in GTA5 Online. I understand the whole "stress testing the servers" thing and I'm okay with it, but just like on GTA, I agree that players are a bit of a problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for some PvP fun now and then, but when I got online today to try Red Dead's Online feature, it was more of an annoying pain to play the game than it was fun. After just over an hour online in free roam I had a long list of Pro's and only one Con... other players. I probably spent nearly half my time online just trying to get to a mission that was practically next to me on the map because every time I respawned I was nearly immediately killed by one player or another. I also quickly found I wasn't the only one having this problem, as many of the other players were vocally complaining they just wanted to do a mission and were sick of getting killed repeatedly. I even tried to fight back at one point, but having a new character with few weapons and low ammo, I found it just as hard to even get to a gun shop, let alone get to my horse after respawning. Me personally, I play (mostly) on private sessions with friends on games like GTA because of people who have nothing better to do than kill everyone and everything that moves. I'd rather enjoy the game, do missions, hunt and fish, upgrade and customize... they even have stuff specifically set and designed just for PvP and I do partake in those activities, but randomly murdering every player you see, often repeatedly, just because you can? It's childish! Which I think is truly the best word for it as, so far in my total experience, most of the time it turns out to be children doing this. No offense is intended by this, but if all you want to do is kill each other, then either go play one of the PvP activities or get on another game that is built for PvP like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Overwatch, or even Fortnite. I mean, that is what those games are all about.
