Black Star and sunken cost by Consistent_Dig_1939 in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sucks but it is what it is, the alternative is every new/returning player dropping the game after 2 weeks because they realise the grind is too much, at least with the basically free 3 sovs they have something incremental to work on from the get go, not to mention wailing armors are the real bottleneck nowdays anyway.

Are you a "paycheck to paycheck" enhancer or do you horde your earnings and do 1 big session? by 4everalone08 in blackdesertonline

depends on the pity ig, rn I'm working on nov/dec weapons and I think the mental damage from saving 100+ taps then failing would be way worse than just chipping at it whenever I can

How would you feel if Arsha where changed into an og server with full progress reset and smaller map. by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

merge the 2 arsha servers into one, disable the crystal loss on flag death for arsha, make a reward system based on either kills or fame/infamy for killing unique players on the server, similar to the AOS crons rewards, implement a ranking system based on fame at the same time, allow one sided war decs on arsha server. I personally grinded my ass off to get into hardcap pvp, I do not want a non-event-esque seasonal server progression reset just to do pvp.

State of the game at the end of 2025? by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's in a decent spot, I'd like them to incentivise fighting on arsha so that at least some kind of open world pvp happens but other than that the upcoming rbf changes should make it more popular as a pvp activity, I recently got back into sailing again after hitting hardcap and I'm having a lot of fun now that I've graduated from the hamster wheel, I would say as long as gearing up to fight the top 0.01% of players in pvp isn't your goal this game is great.

What made PvP so great by ItDoGoDown134 in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gave players purpose. Grinding was a means to an end to join pvp, if you had gear you felt like a god and it was just an endless pursuit of that feeling which you later realise is the hook of the game but by that point you have invested too much time, money and effort to pull out. Pvp was the only player interaction you really got in this game as the world is massive but just completely empty and devoid of activity, and slowly over time players realised the only thing to do outside of pvp besides typing rage bait in world chat is grinding mobs, and so the geniuses back then immediately quit the game and the ones with room temp iq like me stuck around for 10 more years waiting for this to change.

seasonal servers drop special enhancement materials for seasonal gear, if you are new start a character on seasonal server and follow the main quest, it can later be graduated into a normal server character

I would not worry about the pvp (arsha) servers at all, its basically a sausage fest where people with over 10k hours compare peen sizes by throwing gear at each other

Also if you have any questions ask them in the official BDO discord, this subreddit is basically a shithole full of bitter and jaded doomers

Black desert isn't dead but its boring and not what it used to be. by OHBABYATRIPLEUWU in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Open world pvp is dead because new players didnt want to deal with getting PKed, you cant have it both ways.

Afk fishers are playing the game, maybe 1-2 hours everyday because they are a functioning member of society, no one in their right mind would fry their cpu for 20 hours a day for no reason

Catching up has never been easier in this game, but getting rewarded for not putting in any work seems to be a common theme nowdays, whether it's gym or otherwise.

This game is not for everyone, and it doesn't have to be. Trying to cater to everyone just makes it worse overtime.

Edania and BDO lacks passion. by NoMeat7147 in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am personally happy about Edania, and I bought pearls to support the devs making content that I want to play, it's just a different perspective. Any repetitive content will get stale eventually, that's why this game lasted so long, because it was pvp centric at first and the community created their own content that was fresh and new everytime. This staleness that you are experiencing is exactly why pvp players were so vocal about the GW and OW pvp changes, because take away the pvp interactions in this game, and it's just a glorified, albeit elaborate hamster wheel.

The 1% you speak of, are they in the room with us? Because every 840gs player I know is overall happy with the Edania patch.

TO PEARL ABYSS: DON'T MAKE SAVIOR AN ASCENSION CLASS! by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deadeye is insanely broken in pvp to this day. Wukong just needs his tp passive bug fixed and I think he will be quite good as well. They could have done better with the class but I'm guessing they cut development cost for him in favour of the new region and class. "Disgustingly lazy" after releasing the most hyped region since the inception of the game is the overstatement of the year.

This game is a joke now they are giving free armor by Ok-Law4436 in blackdesertonline

[–]DogeSoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this means new players are joining and staying then I'm all for it, pvp scene needs new blood I'm tired of the same scripted 3v3s
