I don't know if this should really go here or in suggestions, but I would like everyone to leave their impressions here, maybe that way our voices will be heard.

After playing BDO for many hours and sharing similar opinions with more Veteran players, I'm going to leave here what I consider BDO needs to be let's say... "perfect".

1- More group/party content. You literally spend 95% of the time playing alone, killing monsters, doing quest chains, fishing or gathering... just on a huge MMO map, it seems the developers forgot the MMO concept. The most curious thing is that many classes have skills for groups, but in the end the little group content is reduced to PVP (which not everyone likes) or certain activities that in the end do not compensate. There are even areas of the map that it is recommended to go in a group but they are practically "dead" no one goes.

How to solve it?  Simple, add more group content, simple themed dungeons where waves of monsters must be resisted and a final boss (similar to the ones on the new map), where the reward is interesting to form groups, as well as improve the rewards of the guild bosses . In addition, increasing the experience and the drop chance for being in a group, this way group play would be encouraged much more.

2- Skills for high levels and more quest experience. Once you reach level 61/62 it costs a lot to gain experience and there really isn't much motivation to keep going up, it's as if there was some kind of "cap". Making leveling up not a real challenge and grinding becomes a bit monotonous.
How to solve it? New skills could be added at level 63, 64 and 65, similar to those you receive at level 62 according to the role of the character, for example increased life, damage from special attacks, critical damage, etc, and even raise the level maximum of some of the skills. In turn, increase the combat experience received from the quests, especially on level 60+ maps or where the recommended AP exceeds 240. If it is not viable, increase the CHENGA bonus from 30% to 100% . Narni's completed stones may also increase experience received.

3- Best High End Content and gear. There is a huge debate about the final content of BDO that it seems not to have. "I want 300 AP for" or, "I once had the best team in PEN now what." There are grinding areas where it seems that there is not much difference compared to areas with less AP and in the end, there begins to be a growing lack of motivation considering how difficult it is to increase each point of AP and DP. In addition, the gear allows very little customization, it all boils down to the same thing, there are many pieces of equipment, yes, for example jewelry, but only a couple of them are usable.

How to solve it? Adding better and new rewards on group maps and higher level and AP as well as PvP and guild leagues or championships. Now that crystals are NOT socketed into equipment, they could be dropped and crafted some item that you could socket into your BOSS team from now on, that would add different stats like max health or stamina, health recovery on hit, skill damage, special damage , resistance, so, your PEN Blackstar, would be different from my PEN Blackstar. These items would be drop from bosses or in high AP or group maps or craftable by materials that will drop in those areas.

Likewise, improve rewards in clan warfare, adding reputation points with ranking rewards to make combat between guilds more interesting. You could also add tournaments for individual classification and brotherhoods. For example, similar to the Solare Arena, 2 guilds choose their top 10 players who will compete with another 10 from another guild in a match in one of the cities such as Calpheon or Heidel, the entire city is a battlefield, or within the castle that is above Mediah (I don't remember the name).

4- Use higher degree to increase reinforcement. BDO's equipment and reinforcement system is a bit... (like colors) making, for example, your tuvala PEN better than a TRI jewel that costs a lot to upload and is also worth many millions. This makes the equipment almost not useful or salable in its versions +10, +12, PRI, DUO... You kill a rift boss, it gives you a chest and you get a DUO earring and it turns out that nobody buys it.

How to solve it? Improve the "devour" system by further increasing its probability and in terms of jewelry, that you can use inferior gear to increase the reinforcement probability, that is, if you have a necklace in TET, you can use it in PRI, DUO or TRI doing that the probability is greater than the basic one (in a scaled manner), that is, the TRI would have a greater probability than the DUO or the PRI with respect to the basic one (always lower than the one you are trying to reinforce). This would give higher value and sales to lower grade equipment.

At the moment it is what I have been able to appreciate, surely many things are missing but I think that even so I wrote too much, excuse me and thank you.

Sige battles with free gear customization
Just pvp with no grind to get top gear
Other than that i am cool with all of the stuff we have now

Not an expansion that gives you roughly 20 minutes worth of gameplay per week for sure, as beautiful as the scenery might be.

Give us back shadow arena it was fun. They stole it away and then ran it into the ground and closed the doors on its stand alone version.

That PA take us in consideration. Or this forum exists for nothing.

I also got to press R for about 8 hours. :)

We need to allow Treasure items in the Family Inventory.  

If you R spam through everything of course you are bored.  If you actually participate in the content that is given you wouldn't say "it's only 20 minutes worth of gameplay".

To fix the rubberbanding you always get when on a boat, riding on someone's horse, etc. etc. No other MMO has this problem, it's just awful in Black Desert.
