Hey y'all, quick poll here, thought I'd do my once a month post, sorry I haven't been active as much. I've stopped logging into BDO since the cash shop coupon restore update & as much as I love our community I've been trying to distance myself from everything BDO, including the forums, until there's some serious improvements made, I hope you guys understand <3 Also, hopefully you guys are having a great day/night wherever you are when you read this; So without further ado, I'd like to ask you: are you currently happy with the state Black Desert Online is in? Feel free to use the up/down votes as a yes or no button, I'd prefer no comments on this post but if you absolutely must then you're more than welcome to be vocal about your opinion!

Are you Happy with Black Desert Online Right Now ?

[Yes] - ( I love it )

[No] - ( I hate it )

Thank you for your time

Nope. 

Contents dry 

Xigncode3 heats up my CPU a crazy amount

PA doesn't listen to NA/EU.

The poll itself is meaningless unless people post their reasoning.

True.

My litany of complaints hasn't changed.  I wish all they did since Winter of 2021 was add more areas, monsters and add better storylines.  Instead, they took so many things I liked in this game and nuked them.  Balancing lifeskilling with combat loot is nice, but, PA doesn't know what balancing means.  They don't know what immersion means. Etc.

only thing im not satisfied about rn is that olun piece still group only.

Short answer:

Big NO. No, I am not.

That game need more social and PvP content (i feel so alone in this game) and more instinctive system with more world interactive not based on huge number and calculating...

I'm a new player as of December and I LOVE BDO.

I also HATE that im being extorted for irl money to progress to end game spots via the p2w fairy. CCIV is not optional for end game.

Add Orbs and Queen's Might to CM. Problem solved.

NO I am not.

Reasons:

-Lack of open-world PvP content (Yes I'm aware of Arsha and no that is NOT the solution)

-Lack of PvE content that isn't grinding

-Lack of meaningful group content

-Lack of ACTUAL end-game content

-Lack of content in general

-Unfinished content (Ocean/Desert)

-Server lags/desync

-Pearl Abyss continually not listening to EU/NA playerbase

-Constant merging and removal of items

-FOTM classes

-Continually raising prices both in game and out

-Offering band-aid solutions rather than fixing the problem

-Bland 'new' classes (a mashup of what we already have, merged into 'new' class)-You're not fooling ANYONE Pearl Abyss...

-Lack of playable fantasy races/classes in a FANTASY game (one giant, one shai, and three elves...) Drakania still looks human even though she's technically a dragon same with Corsair who's supposed to be a mermaid...

-Recycled content/classes and treated as 'new'

-Cashgrab and PTW items

-Lack of direction (game-wise)

I'm sure there's more...

Myself and others included are playing less and less, and I personally haven't spent a dime since the Crystal Coupon incident. 

When a company blatantly *ignores* their own player base, and uses predatory methods to get money, it makes me not want to be involved.

Players have been dying from game glitches, having their crystals be destroyed - What does PA do? "Oh, if you want your crystal back, you'll need to pay $23" ... That's *Absurd*.

We have been addressing crystal break since August, and not a single staff has responded.

Likewise, the update tomorrow has the Premium outfits have their in-game price increase by ~500mil, but the cron amount doesn't change at all. You're essentially having to pay ~2 more bil per BS Pen attempt

If the crons changed dynamically, then it'd be a win-win for people selling and buying them. As you'd only need 3 outfits, instead of 4.

At this point it honestly feels like they're just *trying* to tick off players.

This is why games like Oldschool Runescape have flourished - They have more members than free-to-play playing regularly.

They use a poll-system to take community feedback, and then discuss it during developer livestreams.
The community feels more involved, and has stood the test of time.
