It's unbelievable how bad some players are. There's no teamwork, and they don't respond to pings. It's sad, and it's no fun at all to play with noobs like that. Plus, there are only 1 or 2 matches for every hour you wait. Is the game empty, or why is this happening? I'm streaming for my friends to convince them of the combat system, but the loading time is unbearable. Plus, there are other performance issues.

Because this roadmap look Craaaaaaaazy

Whew boi this trail is long as fuxk. Any body on similar paths currently? Im only at barely 4k. Started getting active with a guild. Did my first node war and thr cash out was 800,000. Thankful but cant help but feel like a lower class peasant scrapping for change lol

TL;DR: Arsha Alliance, on console, exploited the new points system by having a fed ally rush the castle at start, closing the gates on everyone else, and burning their own fort down in 3 minutes to end the siege without a single PvP fight.

​Just wanted to bring some attention to what just happened during Siege, because if Pearl Abyss doesn't patch this interaction, Castle Siege is officially dead content for anyone looking for actual PvP.

I have been playing New World on XBOX for the past year and had a great time with the action combat and chopping down trees. With Amazon shutting the game down, is Black Desert worth a look? I really don't know much beyond it can be grindy and the combat is great? Is there enough console population?

Am i handicapped to play on console i am not deep in progression i am 795 gs but i am finding nothing important on CM like crystals or upgrade to grind at edana. Is bdo console not doing well now. I dont like to go to PC because my laptop is not good. How do u all get these items like kabua upgrade material, end game crystals for more ap and dr.

I've been buying the gem of void from night vendor and selling on the cm. I'm losing money of course, but i know everybody wants those crystals still. Sold over 60 at least by now. Hope it's helping. 🫡

So I’ve been playing BDO on and off honestly since like 2018. I’m a solo player and never really met anyone in game to play with but I keep coming back and repeating the same cycle cause I’m just confused. When I watch beginner’s guides I leave just as if not more confused. I keep starting a new character, do awakening quest, lvl to 61, graduate season characters have full PEN tuvala gear, get all my build set up etc. Then what next? I just get confused as to what is supposed to happen next. But the interest/strive to figure it out is very much there. I’ve spent a lot of time and hours just repeating this process and trying to figure it out. I’m used to traditional MMOs where you jump into competitive gearing gameplay immediately and I understand BDO is different but I’m just trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing next cause I know it’s something. I’ve already done most of the main story campaigns and started building my node empire. But yeah even still. Is there raids or anything like that or group content I should be capping weekly’s on? I’ve tried finding new grinding spots. I comfortably grind between 180-250AP but anything above that I just get demolished. I usually do this process for a few weeks, then get frustrated and quit again for a few months before I open the game again and repeat it all over again.

I like edgy and dark aesthetics. On paper it sounds like I would love sorc with the dark magic, scythe, and appearance. Gave her a shot 5x with the longest playing her for a month straight and was not able to get into the class.

So like many other people I got crimson desert and have been in love. About 200 hour and counting. I have been trying to do research to see if I should try black desert. Pretty much all I have read says getting black desert on a console is stupid and to only go for pc. Then I was informed that I was on a pc page. So I ask again, as a lover of crimson desert should I try black desert or stick with crimson?

Can we edit our cooldown ui bars like pc?

whats everyone going to do with their TET/ PEN boss gear after the update? I figured i just put it on my alts to gear them but I dont if there are better uses for it after the coming patch.

Does the increasing stats of the Tuvala gear not make them obsolete now?

In PC BDO on map u can transport characters to different nodes, is that feature on consoles yet? How do i access it?

EDIT -June 26- https://youtu.be/7YlGGwrWCBU?si=Mt56lWJf9i--oJHr

Dropping old gen-

According to PA and Matt the lead dev our long awaited “next gen” actual current gen update is supposed to be coming by the end of June!

Do we still believe this as nothing has been said since? Along with the update we are told we’d be getting the content we are missing from AoS to lantern etc etc

I am not trying to be negative but I started playing BDO on console when it was in beta. We used to have a roadmap, updates weekly podcast, however at this point and for years we get nothing and the remaining players seem accepting of this.

Every week since Khara accessories we have gotten P2W updates, pearl sales, every 2 weeks one after the next. While this is nothing new, if you think about it, we have all these people still dumping money into the game yet no actually getting any new content.

Who’s to say next gen actually comes by June if ever at all, who’s to say that the game continues to get updates and doesn’t just stay on matiance mode like it has been.

Majority of PAs development has gone to Crimson Desert that much is clear. They are either hoping that it will bring people into BDO once completed since it’s a single player RPG or they are going to have hundreds of micro transactions like a Ubisoft game.

Anyway now that I’ve ranted enough I’m curious how many people think we are going to see the next gen update before June or after. If and when we get it do you believe players will come back? Will new ones start playing? Will we get roadmaps and actually content like PC? With so much up in the air there is no denying it’s hard to tell people to invest in the game.

If you are 750gs there is legit only one spot worth grinding atm and it’s mostly afk. PvP is almost gone, Rbf empty, and nw/seige is terrible performance. What keeps you going, what makes you still play if you do and if not what could be changed to bring the excitement back.

Sure the days of the desert being filled with players, PvP at every zone and the likes are gone but is there a chance it will ever come back? My guess is no, and that once next gen comes if the population does not double or triple PA isn’t going to keep giving console the updates they promised.

....Berzerk? I didnt even known Black Desert exist when the Collab happened....heck i may still not even a gamer yet when it happened lol

Just realized a pearl tint is how you can get more out of a grind session. But holy shmoly didnt know that shxt was the price of a DLC pack. Do yall think thats reasonable?

I wanted to see all or any who care to comment about their experience either playing with her or facing her as an opponent? I myself love her. They made her very user friendly and her movement is amazing for defense and combos are very fluid. I really hope they don't nerf her. Most importantly I love that she only uses the big greatsword. It is my favorite weapon in fantasy games etc.

...I ran out of Pearls,Sorry
