First of all, just wanna shout out to Tansie who's been our source of guides and more since as long as I can remember on BD Foundry.

Recap of J's latest stream courtesy of BD Foundry:

https://www.blackdesertfoundry.com/late-night-talks-with-pa-30th-november-2023/

Tansie's topic-bulletpoints (see link above for more details):

• J's Apology

• GVG League War

• Node War Rework

• Red Battlefield Improvement

• Hate Speech and Macro Issues

• Lack of Communication

• Regrets from last stream (Gun class and new costume)

Personal opinion: 

Maybe seeing the drama that unfolds will be more fun than the actual content that comes out, which isn't anything new.

J has lost all credibility.  from the late evening impulsive decision to completely eliminate one sided deccs vs. put reasonable constraints on them to the unequal and biased punishment of some pvprs, he's lost it.  Now he is throwing junk at the wall to appease people.

I like the idea of faction based pvp, but the war of the roses (wth came up with this name for this?) is overdone.  Why not simply establish one server, and allow guilds to pick one faction for 3 months? Keep the numbers per faction balanced.  Allow players to slightly improve their characters via kills of opposing factions and reward the leading faction with drop buffs.  No karma loss for killing players of the other 2 factions.  Large karma losses for killing people of your faction..  Start very small and slowly add features.  Not a big bang launch that brings 600 players to one area which will be a lag fest.

I came up with this on a walk today. Surely, a little thought and PA could expand this vs their over designed war of the roses cluster.

I think I am there with yah... time to grab the popcorn and settle in for what drama is about to happen..

It's gonna be better than "As the world turns" daytime soap.

Out of that list there is 1 maybe 2 things I am on board with. RBF fix that was asked for roughly 3 years ago.

And possibly the gun class as NEXT YEARS CONTENT.

Outside of that the list should more resemble.

- re centralize the servers as discussed last year ( re optimize servers to help fix lag and de-sync)

- Correctly identify balance issues with classes by actually reading feedback and comments. 

- Time to clean Your own House PA. Time to get ride of the soy boys that work there. Dripping and oozing woke culture into BDO as you have been won't go over well.

PA doesn't have a actual clue what real bullying is like so just stop.

Concentrate on things the community is actually wanting and stop being on a crusade to add In all things fuzzy and fluffy

"Gimme, gimme, gimme."

Said like one animation character from late 1969 and early 1970. I want some popcorn too. :)

I made a whole thread five yeas ago about a Gunner class and this same BDO community wanted to crucify my ass ( This was around the same that Archer was eating good and PvPers were asking for heavy nerfs). I suppose Archer had put the fear of ranged classes in most people in BDO but I'm shocked that he decided to work on it ( still may never be released just like the Rhutum and Dwarf class that he said they were working on 4 years ago). 

I don't believe anything coming out of J's mouth.

It seems like he's throwing out a lot of things to placate players.  I mean, lots of the stuff he's spouting no one has asked for.

The best solution is bringing the old BDO back.
It was tough and unforgiving, like a true open-world sandbox should be. A world where surviving is just as hard as progressing.

And makes you appreciate even the smallest amount progress.
Who doesn't enjoy Lacari's Game of Guilds videos? He got zerged for weeks, improved himself and ruled the world.
Every time I read you guys giving solutions like "balanced pvp", "safe gvg", you don't realize this is what is destroying the aspects that made BDO unique and it is killing this game.
BDO was great for being a war game and when these ideas of fairness, equality, and woke speech started to come out, things started to go downhill.

Stop these ideas of safe-space PVP and participation trophies. Without some struggle, any reward is meaningless.

Well, it just proves he's now ready to deny the whole previous game orientation. Let's see how far he will go on this road.
