Hi All,

Frankly, as a player since 2018, I am discouraged from logging into the game with outdated rewards and functions. This post is not meant to be a complaint but more of a reason why my friend groups refuse to log in. The game simply does not "respect our time" or provide any incentives to come back. We're not asking for PEN Blackstar, PEN Sovereign, or free handouts, we're asking for improvement of the current system and to simplify, standardize, and just overall look at PA's neglect. 

Example 1: Is this really the best PA can convey its "Loyal" users to log into the game? We are less than two months from 2025 and the login rewards, frankly, are a slap to the face. Now, I am not writing to ask PA to give us free stuff, however, where are the incentives?

Example 2: I don't think there's much to say about this... The reward is... Sad... There is no FOMO and no incentives to collect and roll.

Example 3: There are no words to this. Doing it once, done for life. Can this be updated to a monthly challenge? Kill X Mobs, Loot Y LT of loots, Fished Z fish. Something... Please.

Example 4: Worker Seals, Fishing Seals, Alchemy Seals, and Misc Seals need an update.

Example 5: Guild Mission RNG. This system is way too outdated. Why is RNG involved in the guild mission? What does this system incentivize? Why is the Guild Mission silver not scaled to the current inflation? Can we have a mission board where guilds can decide on the mission their teammates will tackle? Why are missions limited to guild size? If there are 20 active members, we want to be able to do XL missions. 

Example 6: Guild Skills needs some major revamps. Update to a higher %, lower cool down, something to make it meaningful for players to seek out guild missions and buffs.

Example 7: For the veteran players, this UI is terrible, can a team member at PA improve this? It has a terribly low chance of success, has no crons/protection, feeds one stone at a time, and overall it's poorly implemented. 

Example 8: This UI looks really half-baked. Why can we not slot other tools (riding crop/misc)? Other life skill clothing? Alchemy Stones? Please standardardize.

Example 9: Given Sea Contents is dead. Why is this such an outdated item? Why is Origin of Wind restored only 8 when our barracks shoot 9 cannon balls/click? Can we introduce a sea tent? It's not fun sailing 10 minutes out to a grind spot, spend 15-20 minutes, and sail 10 minutes back. In general, more sea contents...

Example 12: 10th Anniversary Celebration Logins. Is this really it? We're celebrating ten years of Black Desert Online with this. 

Example 13: In all of the games I've played, BDO is the only MMORPG that does not incentivize players to be online and game on the weekends... The weekends should have a 50% drop rate/life skill buffs or something. There's zero reason to log into BDO.

Example 14: Updated boss notification. New players are forced to check third-party applications (Discord/Garmoth) for upcoming bosses. Can this be implemented into the game? As a live UI with the ability to click, and auto-navigate to the boss. 

Collabs: Seeing there are collabs with gamer fuel before a meaningful collab within the game is odd.

Overall, I feel as if BDO is a game that does not produce the Fear-Of-Missing-Out (FOMO). Most of the players I know will log in twice a year, tap with J's Hammer, and log off. There are no incentives to log in, stay logged in, or visit the webpage for collectibles, goodies, etc. Many of us still have hopes for this game. Many of us are still clinging on, however, PA is giving us nothing to look forward to.

Did you check the reward for RBF  or  all life skills?  Everything in this game   grief us. We are locked to a few places in this game, otherwise we will grief ourselves so hard.

I completely agree. We're stuck in this cycle of adding new classes and systems when there is sufficient content in the game that needs more attention. It saddens me that the game has deteriorated into a push new system, forget about the old, whatever complements items of the past are just in our storage chilling. These items become bloated yearly and we're left with thousands - millions of materials for an outdated, neglected system.

Many items that the game gives you are practically irrelevant, especially these daily login rewards. It's a shame and should be improved for sure.
