Sounds like a you issue, I don't have any trouble doing the repeatable quests for this dungeon.

I have suggestion that is fun and keeps the open world  add world bosses to arsha let people have more freedom to do what they want like more social interactions through mini games like barrel racing,donkey races and regular updates for grand prix perhaps even add one of the more common suggestions revamping lifeskills like fishing,hunting and trading to be competetive with grinding annd maybe just maybe fixing dead content like savage rift and arena of blood to be fun and rewarding.

1-2. Nothing is never enough. I'm not against group content but the group content is there but still complaining that its not enough? Group spots are not penalizing you for anything. Each individual in droup spots get own loot and more XP is not something that group should be entitled for or skill points. It should be balanced equally with solo and x amount of players.

3. No we don't. Arenas and XvX is going to create even more issues and problems than it will solve. You're only saying that you want arenas rn because you do not think what will happen once they come. Too many issues and PA is never going to solve them which makes them either super OP to do for specific comps / classes or completely worthless to everyone and yet the fact that PA is unable to solve FPS=DPS meaning higher ranked players will run 500FPS and get the rankings because of it then there is another factor which is limitin upload speed to 2kb and this means player who sees you, sees you standing still but in fact you're already on his face spamming skills and then enable upload speed to normal and the player dies. This is already used in RBF / Nodewars /sieges by specific players and abuse of it will get even worse than it is now. So let me ask you. Why do you wish to them add stuff that will be broken useless waste of time?

Yet the fact that instanced PvP will put nail in coffin to world PvP and world PvP completely dies out. Especially when players are not just gonna accept rewardless arena.

4. This even further proves my point that I mentioned earlier. Players are unwilling to engage and do things that do not reward them. If rewards are not top tier they don't bother doing it. Again I love the idea of having ocean action but this creates far more problems and just gets left to die after first 1-3 days and waste of effort.

5. I'm up for objective based PvP but not in form of RBF. Have open world activities and more different things in nodewars instead always axing enemy fort down

6. Sure but not important especially when BDO has never been and never will be around some PvE mechanics because PA is incable of doing mechanics properly. Also won't take genius to PvE this game.

7. Team that does BDO mobile is different from BDO PC and ofc they're getting larger budget and most likely "better" devs than PC. Why wouldn't it? It makes them more money. If you haven't realized at this point. Companies are not there to please or satisfy or pay back to their loyal customers. Only thing that matters how to effectively milk the money from our pockets without spending anything. Easier to create multiple subsctiptions and force players to own them than create a content that players may enjoy.

Like I want to support these posts as much as possible but too many are trying to suggest make this game same as wow or ffxiv which it shouldn't be. It should be different from those because PA has 0 chance of competiting with those games. Then top of that PA is not interested of our suggestions or what we want.

Their only goal is to milk as much money as they can till their "flag"ship sinks because its already half sunken and they've known it for years. This is why they started to create CD but in the end they couldn't put a team together that had clear vision of what game would be and wasted lot of resources just to indifinitely delay it. Or how they made a SA standalone. Anyone that wasn't braindead, knew that the game would flop and suck. Wasn't hard to figure out.

lol, I have an enthusiast grade PC. 3080 RTX, i9 processor, basically best parts you can buy right now with gigabit internet. The graphics is this game is pretty mediocre compared to other games I have played (see: any modern game). There are also many MMOs out there without pop-ins and rubberbanding issues too.  So you're saying that a game released in 2016 requires a computer from 2024 to play without frame drops?

Mind you that I can play this game just fine at 2K at 144fps but that doesn't mean it randomly doesn't get frame drops. It'll also do the same at 1080p. This is not my issue, this is an issue with game optimization and packet control.

I just watched great video.

This video basically sums BDO developers / developing PERFECTLY. This can't hit on mark more than its already hitting

Really great video.

Thank you for all replies and comments, found something about improvement, a pitty is not on BDO.

Personally I think an idea for in-game beauty would be some form of other body modification since a lot of types are more for photos near end game and such which would be like an option for a cosmetic or something that let's us make larger breasts or butts for some costumes or underwear items or just in general larger than max slider since some classes are quite too skinny for that niche of player that's more into photos, another could be more mounts? Like you see a lot of docile creatures in the wild and the rangers ride them weird bird creatures which would be cool for class exclusive type mounts other than just horses donkeys camels and an elephant.

I agree with this. This was the strength, the unique trademark of BDO: open world, no instances, at least somewhat player-driven content, allowing people to create their own stories and not just follow a sequence of scripted "oh-so-awesome-you-the-chosen-one" (yawn, seen this a billion trimes already) events. In pen&paper this is called railroading. It leaves the players in an increasingly passive, uninvolved state no matter how epic the events/cutscenes. We´ve fully been there the past years. But wow is dieing slowly and painfully and that is good.

It´s time to look into the future. Look at the titles that create hype, influx, that draw new players, that create content on social media with an impact! And I don´t mean just copy 1:1 from them but learn from these titles. It´s not the wow clones anymore. It´s the kind of crazy new, open, creative, be it even whacky gameplay type titles, such as DayZ (BDO surely delivers on the whacky front, too)!

So my bottom line message to Pearl Abyss is:

Stop going down that Eternal Winter, solo instance themepark road. It is a dead end. Technology allows for better nowadays. You have been a technology and innovation leader once when you released this game, though not perfect, but with a unique vision and very competitive engine. Return to innovating, don´t run after! That is the way of success and to a truly dedicated, excited playerbase. You will see.

Or are you just tired of this game at your hearts and thus let it descend into maintenance mode? ...
