I am impressed by the scale and generosity of Pearl Abys related to the 7th anniversary of BD. There is so much that I got lost in all these activities.
Everything is beautiful, but what about this bitter cherries?
There are things that have been dragging with this game since the beginning of its existence, causing irritation and so far none of the developers have touched them. Why?
Maybe laziness, arrogance towards the players, artificial "hindering the game" or maybe super complacency that it's so good that you don't need to change anything.
1st cherry:
Problem with selling fish as part of Imperial Fishing.
I don't have to explain the scale of the problem because the players know, probably also the developedzy, and so what?. NOTHING
2nd cherry:
DRYING is an important and very time-consuming operation in the Life system, in addition, someone figured out that this activity, to the players' own amusement and annoyance, can be significantly extended by blocking it during the rain.
Don't count on hiding under the roof, because all of them are full of holes at that time, that there is a cloudless sky, that you can do heating but not drying? cases out of 10, it will always rain during drying, and maybe even 2x during 1 cycle.
There are more such bitter cherries, these are just 2 examples.
Will what I wrote above change anything? I hope because the solutions are quite simple.
However, the level of irritation of players for such situations will increase over time and act on BD like this stick with two ends.
