After reading Developers letter to KR players i have strong feeling its heavily influenced by vocal players that doesn't actually play game but only complain. Feedback must be taken only from active players and count player progression - taking feedback about content from player that never done that content is very wrong - you gonna ruin what already working to put something that nobody beside vocal "players" want, and it will resulted in another DOA content/changes and those vocal "player" keep complain about game.

Google survey that require only email adress is not how you make surveys. Integrate it into the game and allow to answer only to players that qualify with in game progression

Imagine being so egoistic to answer in a thread asking to remove feedback from players who don't play game, with unlinked account. How you even allowed to post on this forum ? Go away troll.

My money is he is werbs.

No, we don't need ingame suverys. If PA would care about player feedback, they can have countless in the forums, in reddit, in dc, in their korean social boards etc.

But PA do not care about the palyer feedback.

Don't missunderstand what happened. They don't give af about the players. Do you know what happened? PA is losing money hard. If you know the things, you might hear'd that last year, when their revenoue sarted droping, they told the investors that it's not a problem, since they are working on their new flagship game, Crimson Desert, and it will be ok.

But Crimson Desert got axed by PA, as they fucked it up.

So now they have a dying game, while also Lost Ark (the game who killed bdo in KR) going to release in the west, while also other mmos soon to hit in the west, so they are in full panic mode, trying to fix shit, so their investors not eat them.

And if the external competitors would be not enough, the playerbase is heavily demotivated aswell, heck the situation is so bad that the ppl in KR protest.

What we have now is empty worlds, and cheap bandaids, where they try to save whathewer they could.

But you can clearly see the root cause of the issue from that letter. The stupidity.

Like that guy says, that they not add damage numbers cause people would lock others out then.

Like dfq? From where would they lock anyone out? There are no meaningfull group content in this fucking game lol.

And like if they would actually take effort to play with their own game, they would see that people already lock out others based on GS (which is created by PA in the first place, but surely if the toxicity boosts their cron sales it's ok)...

Also like how would other players even see a number that is only displayed on the player's screen?

They are stupid, and have no clue about their own game, which is pathetic.

btw in which point do you feel they are wrong? Most points they made was legit.

This^

It is not a coincidence that we are suddenly getting improvements in behavior from PA all of a sudden...when other games that could be potential competitors are finally launching in the west.  Finally stopped stupid things like having mobs kill your horse (now horses can level to 100).  Finally listing some costumes that aren't prom dresses, something that has value for something other than cron melting.  Finally making serious attempts at some PvE content that isn't just running circles while whales try to bully you on FotMs.  It will be interesting to see what other hardline stances they back off of.  Changing this ridiculous bias weighted RNG enhancement system would be my best case scenario....from casino rules (the house always wins)...to something actually reasonable.  Finally claiming to rework original classes...instead of only piling on more FotMs and successions.  Finally claiming to do something about the super toxic players in open world (Operational policy and bounty system).  Basically all that stuff that they have been ignoring us on for years, guess now they actually have a little motivation. 

I'm not going to lie.  I have taken a few days off from BDO recently and played some open beta of one of the upcoming games.  It was one of those experiences where you aren't even aware of how negative something is until you step back from it for a second.  No one trying to kill my character while I'm playing the game.  No one trying to feed my character to mobs to reverse my game progress.  No built in game mechanics solely intended to force me into a cash shop...to fix the problems they created...specifically to make me go to the cash shop out of frustration.  No casino RNG based progression mechanics.  Actual positive social interaction in game versus the vile spew of BDO in game and forum communications.  No spot taken toxicity keeping me from doing the content I need to progress.  Actual PvE content!  No pressure to make as many characters as possible...just to pad numbers and sales.  No pressure to leave the game running 24 hours a day.  I'm not saying I have found a BDO replacement, because BDO still has some of the things that attracted and kept me in the first place (character customization...although they have been shooting themselves in the foot with their arbitrary restrictions like body sliders, costumes...now that it looks like they are trying again, the combat system is unmatched in other games still).  It would just be a breath of fresh air for them to back off of some of the negatives.
