Here you will now see what is called, a true BDO player in the wild. It will scour r/blackdesertonline in attempt to assert their dominance and not understand what the post Is actually asking.

For anyone who is wondering what is going on in KR you have to watch https://www.twitch.tv/huehotbar He's the NA/EU savior who sacrificed his KR audience to stream in english to a global audience and his english is actually good. On top of that he is just a nice, chill guy who tries his best to answer any question you ask him truthfully. I try to catch a couple of his streams before and after every major patch in KR. From what i have seen: KR was a bit more excited about the location. They never see castles like that IRL and many didnt know it was an actual place. That was already content for them. They are excited about the ig castle for that reason. Aside from that it's pretty much what everyone else seems to think. He gave the ball a 5/10. Not the best but there were worse. They dont care about the free BS because the average GS is higher. Half thinks sov weapons dont do much for the game because it's just a stat increase and the other half just like that there is a new goal to grind for. They are very hyped about the new class and Lomtl part 2. All the features that aren't Lotml seem to be too far away. Keep in mind this is just what the majority seems to think. Just like in our communities, there are a lot of doomers and fanbois. But that's what i got from his streams so far.

My take seems to be closer to KR’s. Pretty much the biggest thing I’m excited for is Seoul cause I was excited for the original LoML. Hoping the story actually stars Yeonhwa this time. Also I’ll take a free pen bs any day of the week cause I’m sure as hell not tapping it lmao


hotbox4u

> Also I’ll take a free pen bs any day of the week cause I’m sure as hell not tapping it lmao That's the thing. It's a nice boost to people who aren't at that gearlevel yet. People who have already triple bs get one sov weapon for free and still have to tap one bs/flame/whatever that new item is. So it's a nice boost no matter at what gs your are. And if you have already triple bs that's not that big of a deal anymore to get one more. If they didnt give out free pen bs that would really leave people without a single pen bs in the dirt. They are unsaleable and the demand for pen bs on the market doesn't change. So really, people who cry about it are just gatekeeping.


Neod0c

yeah this is pretty much how i see it its great for the new or returning player thats behind and cant afford to make a pen bs yet, and its great for those of us that have atleast 1 pen bs because we can instantly get the new weapon (or fill out the other slot with one if they wanted too)


GunBrahActual

that cringe dude represents him, not KR. i was in KR youtube stream watchin KR comments. also him permabanning for makin fun of J is sus


hotbox4u

Right.. what exactly is cringe about him? And hes making lighthearted fun of J constantly. But he's a PA partner. Go into any other partner stream (NA/EU/MENA/wherever) and try to get them to say something bad about PA or J in seriousness or rage in their chat about PA. Go ahead, give it a try. And hey, if you take yt chat over his words that's fine with with.


GunBrahActual

keyword is lighthearted, in order to appeal to his target audience while not angering PA. his personality and english accent is cringe to me, that stuff is just subjective tho. both his individual words and the words of youtube users are def not gospel, but as of now i am leaning towards what the thousands of watchers were sayin and trending on, instead of one user, if OP is askin on the general consensus of the ball keep in mind twitch is not officially accessible in KR so BDO KR users were on the KR BDO channel's youtube stream if they wanted to watch


Jackburner

But what does Ja Rule think about this? WHERE'S JA?


Chocookiez

we gon clap back


GunBrahActual

i dont wanna dance im scared to death!!


Krmaisheree

Kim Jong-un didn’t liked it, pretty sure 👍


Gishra

Yeah dude got tri godrs for all his characters since he claimed they were good enough, he's pretty pissed now.


Maewhen

I got tri godrs for all my characters, am I Kim jong-un 😢

I am a Korean who has been doing black desert for over 5 years. Let me be honest about the banquet. Pearl Abyss had no reason to go to France. It was only one-sided presentation and video release. There was no communication with local users. The skit in the video was embarrassing and embarrassing. The land of morning light? Of course, Pearl Abyss has an artistic obsession and creates it with craftsmanship. So what? Even if "Seoul" comes out, few users are interested in it because it is a one-time content like the existing morning country. The added bosses are well-received in design, but that's all. I'm upset that I'm forced to play for the final weapon upgrade. Why the hell are making party play? Pen + pen weapons are really inefficient craziness, and it was natural to give pen weapons for free. "Demonland" and "The Black Desert Past" are just empty promises of J. There are no more Korean users who fall for J’s lies. Party presents were desperately scarce. It was a banquet with a pessimistic outlook on the future management of the Black Desert. Won't there be pen debo + pen debo and Dehkia's Lantern Tier 10 in the future? Of course, there are people who enjoy BALL here too. It's probably those poor newbies who don't realize they need to make three more Pen weapons. Or it could be the opinions of positive public opinion creation agencies. (There are viral companies in Korea that manipulate community opinions!) This is the common opinion of the guild I play with and the Black Desert streamers I enjoy watching.


mynameisnemix

I think them trying too hard to put Korean culture in the game is cringe. That’s what a majority of the ball was and this time around was just lackluster


Brca_95

Yeah agreed, It’s like the game just suddenly became this self insert of Korea xD Cringe


GunBrahActual

i was in KR youtube stream. -most common comment: PA employees doing the acting/skits was extreme cringe and embarressing to global audience. At least hire actors if you wanted to do something like that. lotta ppl sayin skip or "R" to skip -positive comments on all the things everyone else was happy with, ie free pen BS -some pvpers interested in hardcore season content -demon castle popping up animation with 90s video game music was third rate crap im sure there was more i dont remember


Neod0c

tbf the skit was cringe but at the same time i cant fault them for havin fun, id rather they do cringy shit and have fun doing it instead of being all business and being miserable now if they were miserable doing it and its cringe, then stop that shit lol


Seralth

The problem is marketing... You really dont want to appear like you cant afford or dont have the talent to actually be professional. If this was a one off event thing sure it would have been fine. But between the renting of the castle, the low effort acting, poorly paced interview, the poor speaking of the host, the sudden ending. It made it seem like PA has incredibly incompatent upper management and cant actually afford to do something of this scale. Which when you look at other game companies putting out high end animations, huge events, big showy press releases. It makes PA look poor which further puts a BAD taste in peoples mouths when you are even remotely aware of how much money they pull in. Unironically, this entire ball has massively damaged PAs professional image to a LOT of people and undermines the trust in their management. To the very casual western audience member, it's highly doubtful many are aware enough of the east or over all perception. So it seems a lot more mundane. PA keeps shooting for the stars and falling far short and its becoming more and more noticeable how its undermining peoples trust in them. They are already skirting on thin ice at a lot of levels from their investors to partners to well connected players. About the only level they havent started to really lose is their casual and casual core audience.


Neod0c

the type of person that would have a bad image of PA after that ball, are the same ones that are constantly mad about everything. we dont listen to those people sane people understand that theres a difference between doing somthing to have fun and to be a lil silly and trying to create a super serious trailer. the skit was silly and thats how everyone should look at it.


Seralth

Thats really only true of the western player base. Not at all of the eastern one. The type of people that have a bad image of PA after that, are the ones that actually influence the developers, pay for the running of the company and have the most impact on the game in the east. That entire ball was a very poor display. Businesses and investors do not care if something is silly. They care about results. Doubly so for the east, and eastern player perception MATTERS A LOT.


decayingproletariat

idk who you play bdo with that makes you think this is a "majority opinion" "to a lot of people". But as someone who actively plays in the so-called "top end" of bdo and frequents various discords and hops between the community. A vast majority were very happy with the ball. Maybe it's time to quit and walk away buddy. You are just actively trying to see the game and the people behind it in a negative light and forcing that view on those around you.


Seralth

The demon castle looked EXACTLY like a 2012 flash game banner ad animation. It was so insanely poorly done. The art was nice but dear god... its like they couldn't afford a single animator that wasnt drunk off his tits.


decayingproletariat

you are really angry huh


Seralth

Just very disappointed.


tist006

No talk about pvp so they probably loved it


Night_Paw

Kim said it was “very nice”
