I support adding controls to residences. There are people who simply choose to be toxic.

PA can choose to continue allowing a toxic few to drive away other players over time or at least give us some controls to address the situation.

I will add my say to this, and bump it.

Trolls affect roleplayers in bdo everywhere, and in most places, they just have to deal with it. In their own homes, they should have the choice of being able to remove troublemakers who's sole intent is to ruin someone else's game experience.

I'll never understand why a residence doesn't have the option to go private. It already has the functionality to sort by party/friend/guild, so we should be able to lock to those catergories as well.

Another bump... primarily because the other day I had about 10 players randomly running into my residence during a gathering of friends.

Typically they're just ignored. Trolls will be trolls. However, when they are naked and totally in your face about it's irritating. Especially the Shai.

Then began the summoning of mounts into the residence. That is truly something that no one should have to deal with in their homes. 

Any degree of control that allows blocking or removing unwanted guests from your residence would be very much appreciated.

I wholeheartedly support the suggestions put forward by OP concerning privacy within residences. These proposed features offer an additional layer of comfort and security, enabling players to manage their space without altering the experience for those who visit for legitimate reasons.

The ability to tailor the accessibility of our residences does not impede players who wish to explore homes on the leaderboard in good faith. Instead, it deters those whose intentions might disrupt the homeowner's peace. This level of control could enhance our immersion in the game by allowing us to create boundaries that mirror real-life privacy expectations.

Moreover, these features could potentially foster a more respectful community by underscoring the importance of personal space, even in a virtual setting. We can celebrate our achievements in house decorating by allowing access at our discretion, without sacrificing our quiet enjoyment of the game. This suggestion deserves serious consideration as it presents a balanced approach to privacy, enhancing the Black Desert Online experience for all.

This is definitely a good idea. I've also heard of people having parties ingame in their residences, and then having them crashed by trolls ruining the experience.

Some of the housing mechanics need a little more love. To those saying housing is "dead content" or a waste of time are wrong, there are many people who actively enjoy this content. Especially now that we can craft in Old Moon Furniture Workshops.

This is a great suggestion that would be utilized!

Agreed. Wish you could do something as to not have trespassers. I value my privacy, lol. Honestly I wish they'd do more with the housing in general. It's currently just a place to craft and cram I mean store your furniture...
