im 30 and im line "is this new to you?"
Thats what all pearlshop is about, atleast most of it cuz some items are so bad no1 wants to buy them. Remember the butler thing? The storage box without cm and processing was a massive L that they refuse to change to this day lol.
Only thing im angry about is that its only 3 more recovers!!!
PA pumps out more deadly spots that cost crystals and you get to recover only 6/year???
I wasnt dying an entire year until they released lantern....

Dear PA, April Fool's Day is over.
Adding this item to IS instead of removing crystal destruction from the game is insulting us, the players, and showing that you don't care about our opinion at all.
You've already earned over 2b USD on this game, still not enough?

In making this as a cash option, I'm thinking at the same time, they will likely give these out regularly as free items during events or even add them to some of the gamba boxes. Not only will they have given us the three free crystal restorations during the year, but they'll also give these out. Honestly, in my entire time playing (a little over two years) I probably have broken like 7 crystals? I don't dive head first into a mob zone I haven't researched the necessary requirements for and I test the waters with one pack usually, then make adjustments. Anyway, my point being 1) they didn't a crystal restoration system until just recently, 2) now there giving more ability to restore crystals through cash shop, 3) most likely, they'll give these out and you'll end up with a stock of them like elion's tears.
I really don't get some players. You want a good game right? A good MMORPG? One that continues to grow? Well, it's going to cost time and money. This isn't a single player RPG, like Zelda, that is done by developers with set time frame and a definitive end point and cost a set, specific amount of money. This game is one that I truly never seeing ending and always growing... but that is going to take time, money, and compensation to the workers.
Again, I truly don't get some players - some seem to expect everything for nothing. That's not how we're going to keep black desert going. Many of you knew good and well when you got into this game that there would be cash option stuff. This game isn't like Stardew Valley that was built by one person. This game requires a whole slew of people to maintain it, create new content, and do things like the in-person events to keep it going and growing.
Console BDO doesn't have crystal breaks, why should PC? There is absolutely no reason for it, yet instead of removing a system the majority hates, they add a cash option for a measly +3 in annual crystal renewals.

Imagine defending yet more monetization when this is predatory beyond belief. The cash shop is already encyclopedic with it's size and variety.
Predatory? To who? I'm pretty sure there aren't little fortnite kids who don't understand how a cash shop works playing this game. encyclopedic? Not really. It's organized well, and a lot of it -especially with class costumes- is repetitive.
iMaGiNe thinking the production of a game the requires the employment of hundreds of people shouldn't get any kind of income to be able to continue it's production and support. These people aren't volunteers.
One thing I know about my own job is that you can only give so much. As soon as the people of my profession ask for support in return we get shit on like we're the worst by the same people who once considered us "essential".
Ya'll can downvote me to hell, but it's true. PA needs to make an income in order to support their employees and in turn those employees can put to use their creative talents and in turn, give us an even more rich environment/gameplay to take part in. J isn't the ONLY one creating Black Desert - it's a team of people and if you think they're going to continue doing it for nothing, you've got a lot to learn about how a business operates.
Crystal breaking was an original part of the game - it was part of the game to provide challenge and invoke strategy and tactics while fighting. It wasn't like it wasn't there and then they added it. I'd have a totally different opinion if that were the case.
