I mean I read the Global labs patch notes this morning....

Yah I can read..

Yah even though I am a doomsdayer and I am very upset at the direction of BDO...

I STILL HAVE SOME COPIUM LEFT...in hopes they will actually work on the game ...

Man talk about feeling like I am with some narcasist ex that makes me feel like I'm getting smoke blown up my @$$.. Yah know even though your 100% right they some how twist it to make you apologize...

Ok here it is!!!!!!!!

So let me get this right...  your commitment to listening to ALL OF OUR FEEDBACK is to move 2 forts 100 meters to the east.. that fixes it all ...

Wow that's great for a minute there I was thinking that I just had brain surgery and figured my memory was failing me... I am 52 I am pretty sure I don't have alzheimers though at this point I don't know if the developers are just trying to poke at me or if they are serious...

I won't lie I thought this was a joke..........

I'm confused here...

The CURRENT state of node war is this....

And this 

Am I the only one seeing a problem here....

Is it me, I'm super confused....

You have a non existant node war scene it should tell you that this IS NOT LIKED AT ALL... IT IS THE WRONG DIRECTION FOR YOUR GAME...THIS IS NOT JUST NA ITS EU AND ALMOST ALL REGIONS...

You just launched a new area that is soo disliked it didn't draw players back to the game your steam charts are declining...

50% of your player base is gone.... i agree steam is not all of the numbers but they are 50%  or more...  EVERYTHING IS POINTING THAT YOUR DIRECTION PEARL ABBYSAL IS WRONG... 

You killed the pvp scene and NODE WAR IS GARBAGE...

THANK GOD YOU HAVE COMMITMENT CUZ I WAS REALLY WORRIED.

The issue is all those pvp'rs look more like 50% of your community NOT 5% players are leaving thr game in droves and your commitment it IS MOVING 2 FORTS 100 METERS ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME.... WHAT THE ABSOLUTE F ARE YOU THINKING...

Commitment to me is putting in 50k hours into BDO to watch it fall apart in HOPES you guys litterally get some common sense and fix things..what in the love of all things are you clowns doing...

The pain is only starting 6 days from now Throne and Liberty is coming out... garbage game but at least they are interested in listening to feedback...and have wars... pvp is important and thing to a lot of players it affects us all and I hate seeing the game I love get destroyed due to the negligence and non flexible behavior of the current development team and it's lead Mr Kim.

I agree with whats posted here. WHile the steam numbers are half. if is still both NA and EU servers. no about half of that is NA. So even if you consider that half plays on launcher that still a crappy number for any individual server. plus, this is after a "major" expansion. The economy requires a high population for this game to feel live, it is an ecosystem where when you remove one part the whole system comes down around it. And now mmos are coming out that has caught everyones attention. it going to be a rough ride for black desert in the coming months. Good luck PA. Your gonna need it.

I think what bothers me the most is this sentence:
'' Rest assured, as we hope this patch makes apparent, we're committed to implementing these changes swiftly. ''
This feels like a slap in the face, it feels like J just spat in my face and laughed at me and called me stupid for still having hope for this game.
It took you how long?! To implement this tiny, little insignificant NW change ever since you implemented these new NW changes that litterally nobody likes and asked for and you have the nerve to tell the community '' Rest assured '' 
'' We're committed to implementing these changes swiftly'' It took you 4 months?? What do you mean swiftly??? 
The audacity you have as a developer to just lie in the face of your community! 
As a fan of this game I am so dissapointed and I feel really disrespected, this really was the final nail in the coffin.
Instead of owning up to your mistakes and wrong-doings you just try n sell us pretty words and pretty lies, enough is enough.

Great patch, game is as good as its never was before!

P.S. here is a small hint - PA never apologizes and admits its make mistakes, applying "suggestions" from loud part of "community" w/o even verify it was biggest PA mistake, while "players" who submited  those amazing "suggestions" enjoying the game  - rest is leaving.

All PA has to do is stop listening to carebears as they ruin every game out there that isn't Animal Crossing.

Warfare is suppose to be a bit chaotic and "unfair" in situations. It's what incentivizes people to band together and figure how to overcome conflict. It is no reason why population started declining upon the change of "Consent Guild Declarations". Real war is not "consent" so why implement that change?
1) Remove Guild "consent" declarations.
2) Create strict PVE servers for PVE/Lifeskillers. (But there is Arsha. Shut up, I know.)
3) Redo Node Wars to not have it devolve into RBF.

Yeah, carebears got them to move those towers....SWIFTLY!  Lol

So they fix two fort location in uncapped content which is dead because PA already killed off those guilds, and doesn't even fix the problem area which is Valencia forts. It literally takes you 5+ minutes to get to a fort from some spawn locations because the fort placement makes ZERO sense. That feed back has already been given,

Delusional, moronic, and out of touch. Guess who that describes?

I agree with everything said here.

I will repeat: it's so sad seeing a game I love so much being destroyed.

Everything: the art, music, story, open world, items and weapons, class balance...... everything is being trashed.

BDO is just a cash cow being put out to pasture.  I'm sick of it.

This game has so much potential.
