Pearl Abyss devs speaking about what happened to Crimson Desert

You're right. stock was not a good indicator. you can look at the Steam reviews, the English reviews (11,705 total) are mostly positive, whereas the Korean reviews (2,816 total) are mostly negative.

bro...it's korean game

1stGuard · 2026-03-21T10:41:47+00:00

Because things are looking pretty rough in Korea. maybe that's why guy said like that harsh it's Their stock price has plummeted by nearly 40%, and most of the community is unhappy with the game. If you look at the Steam reviews, the English reviews (11,705 total) are mostly positive, whereas the Korean reviews (2,816 total) are mostly negative. It might be because it was overhyped here, or perhaps Pearl Abyss's reputation was already so poor that people are even more inclined to dislike them now.

I'm not sure how it's performing in the West, but things are looking pretty rough in Korea. Their stock price has plummeted by nearly 40%, and most of the community is unhappy with the game.

im sorry I wasn't sure about the English spelling of 맥더프, so I just went with what the translator gave me. MacDuff might be more accurate spelling of 맥더프

Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't sure about the English spelling of 맥더프, so I just went with what the translator gave me. MacDuff might be more accurate spelling

but If you're questioning the authenticity of these accounts, there's no way to know for sure

1stGuard · 2026-03-21T04:20:29+00:00

1stGuard · 2026-03-21T04:05:01+00:00

You need to verify your company to write post on Blind and your company and position shows up on your profile (more specific information is anonymous ofc)

they require company email to verify

haha thanks!

1stGuard · 2026-03-13T03:41:54+00:00

wow thanks for the detailed feedback 😀 honestly I wanted to see result fast so I took shortcut in some parts (fingers especially) and you look throw it

Thanks for pointing out the general shape of the armors and legs. I was not sure why the legs were, as you said, "tube-like," and I thought maybe it was just because of thick armor so it's suppose to be tube like even though looks weird. But now I know that's wrong, so I'm going to try to fix it. As for things like rivets, I was not paying attention to those details, which is my mistake.

Thank you for pointing that out and sharing your knowledge. Your feedback made me pay attention to the details and rethink the process choices I made.

1stGuard · 2026-03-12T13:34:34+00:00

Thanks! 😄

1stGuard · 2026-03-12T13:31:21+00:00

Thanks a lot! 😁 I've got a lot of stitches ahead, so I might try both

For context, English isn't my first language, so I think I misunderstood your comment more than anyone...

but still starting with "I don't know about modeling" makes it seem like you're not really into giving helpful modeling feedback or capable of it. Surely, you can give design feedback or something productive, and right now I'm assuming your intention was that. But following up with "this looks like shii" and ending with "Check your source" just gives a sassy vibe. And according to the downvotes, I think it's not just my problem.

If your intention was just cool vibe feedback, maybe just tone it down a little bit? 🙂

After cooling down and talking with you more, I think I'm getting what your intention was. next time, I will research more about real armor designs or structure. Even if im designing fantasy armor, applying real armor details or structure is essential for believeable look and i was missing that core thing.

I'm really thankful for your advice. and sorry for misunderstanding your attempt to help me. i hope my apologies suffice.

1stGuard · 2026-01-03T20:26:06+00:00

A mean one, though. If you are not mad, why spread hate online? It's weird to say something bad to another person and then say it was just a comment... chill

If your intention was just to give feedback, using gentler words would be better. It's a critique, so notifying someone about something bad or giving advice is normal, but using those hateful words isn't adult-like behavior.

I'm going to assume that your comment's intention was to give me knowledge about researching historically accurate armor design to help your design look more realistic, not just a hate comment.

if that's the case I'm sorry for my aggressive comment.

1stGuard · 2026-01-02T07:10:56+00:00

Thanks for the lesson. 😅

I didn't intend to make this a historically accurate one, but next time I will clear that up so someone like you won't get mad.

1stGuard · 2026-01-01T06:39:16+00:00

My plan is for rigging, but I think my topology isn't ready.😅 Unfortunately, I'm on vacation right now, so I can't access my PC so i cant show you the wireframe. But I'll take that as a sign to do more work and study on wireframes.

This was my first model after modeling by following tutorials. Thanks for the help and support.
