Dear Black Desert Online Console Development Team,
As dedicated players of the console version of Black Desert Online, we feel it is crucial to bring to your attention several major issues that have been affecting our gaming experience. These problems have caused widespread frustration within the community, and we believe that addressing them is essential for the future of the game on consoles.
Here are the primary issues we are facing:
Severe Lag During Sieges: The game consistently lags during sieges. In the past, lag issues arose during battles involving 300-500 players. Now, the game lags and crashes even during battles with just 100 players. This represents a significant regression in performance.
Lack of New Content: We have not received significant new content for a long time, and when we do, it is merely a fraction of what is added to the PC servers. This lack of content updates leaves the console community feeling neglected.
Imbalanced Gameplay: Balancing changes are often based on the PC version, not taking into account the differences on consoles. Classes that rely heavily on FPS are particularly disadvantaged, making them unplayable on consoles, especially on the PS5.
Hardware Limitations: The constraints of the previous generation consoles prevent the game from utilizing the full capabilities of the new generation consoles. This makes the game feel outdated compared to other titles available on modern consoles.
Lack of New Locations: The absence of new locations forces players to continue playing in the same areas they have been in for 2-3 years. This stagnation leads to a lack of excitement and variety in the game.
Persistent Bugs and Glitches: Many bugs and glitches remain unresolved, further diminishing the quality of gameplay. These issues range from minor inconveniences to major disruptions in the gaming experience.
Limited Communication: There has been a lack of clear communication from the development team regarding future plans and updates for the console version. This leaves players feeling uncertain about the game's direction and their investment in it.
Given these issues, we urgently request that the development team provide detailed information on the plans for addressing these problems and what new content and improvements we can expect in the next six months. Clear communication and prompt action are needed to restore our confidence in the future of Black Desert Online on consoles.
Thank you for your attention to these matters. We look forward to your response and hope for positive changes that will enhance the gaming experience for the console community.
Best regards,
Artion C and the Console Player Community

Given we have been told on numerous occasions no additional areas until next gen. I was utterly disappointed to find out at the ball that next gen would just be in the testing phase by December. We were told we would have a showcase at the Heidel Ball. Yes we were shown what next gen could and will look like. But that was not a showcase. Infact it looked like the very early stages of development. This is something we have been led to believe has been in development for years.

Why no party ingame after Heidel ball? Many players attended the thing and dealt with the broke server crashing even more than usual and we didn’t get any nice little gifts no drops no buffs no party not even thank you for coming and I missed all the world bosses which you decided to spawn right at the time of event?
Players actually lost resources by attending and then got shafted in the livestream also. I did make many excuses for you and even gained a lot of dislike for defending your decisions but the lack of any response from you guys to players concerns is very telling.

We've all sat in hidel Castle, what more do you need? That's S - is stability. Shai class has been promised tools for the third year, on PC they already have them, just turn them on and that's it, we'll be happy to lag and crash console playing in thim! Is it really so difficult to include at least a minimum of content from PC. We never get anything for Shai. This is the most neglected class from the developers......

These are facts. In the past it was understandable for people to play on ps4 (old gen) since it was super difficult to get next gen. Nowadays you can get it everywhere so there is no excuse. If people wanted to get it they could have by now.
So it's not fair the others that have next gen get punished by this.

I think with this appeal they will have to close the game early as there will be no players in 2025.

Well the only thing keeping me in the game is the person, not even the game itself, I'm not interested in the game. I think there are a lot of people who are not interested in the game, we go to sieges out of habit.... No more and no less.

And I can say that out loud, given that I've missed sieges that can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

It's been two days after the debacle of a ball from consoles stand point and still have no official response from the company on " now what?" After the back lash. All we got where copy paste of PC event recap and notes on the official console website. The player base whatever is left, has more questions than answers at this point. Hence I will start of with the biggest questions?
Why should any of the players currently on console wait 6 months for an update on a supposedly final test?
For that 6 months and till the hypothetical ETA of the next gen port release, what is there to keep the existing player base engaged and playing?
I'm not asking for false promises and roadmaps which are never met, but solid answers as to why we should as player base invest anymore time or money into BDO Console as a game?

I prefer buy a Pc and be able transfer over instead of keep playing this joke on console. Thats it. I m not 750 gs, but doesnt matter. I doubt they are really working on the next gen update. For me those 47sec at the ball was just a scam . After all this time only 4 images with before and After? Embarassing. PA Is just trolling us. We already lost tons of players after the ball plus as soon as new games comes you will see the popolation drop even more. Our problem Is that we love this game more compared to the hate that we have against PA. Honestly everyone should stop buy even a single Pearl, everyone should stay offline for 1month at least, EVERYONE. I prefer to be forced to leave the game due to servers shut down or stuff like that because After all this years, time , effort , (some Money too here and there) , Friendship ecc ecc is really hard to lef game by our own tbh

I understand that console doesn't make money for PA but we as a costumers have to be respected too. PA need to be more clear on what's going on as personally I dont believe they even working on new generation. I would leave the game even today but I made many friends on EU server and amount of time spent playing which in my opinion is more valuable than money stopping me from uninstall. I hope console community will come together NA and EU boycott noone spend single £/$/€ and see if PA notice the income drop.

Bro the craziest part about the "showcase" is that what they were showing off takes mere seconds to do in the settings on PC. Change resolution, change texture quality from low to medium or high, and enable "Display faraway objects more clearly". Doubt next gen will launch with anything new when it took them 6 months to do 6 seconds worth of work

Or if you really can’t add dehkia shower us with events where you can get coins that you can trade in for base Debo accessories

If they cared about the players who brought in the most money all we’d hear about is mobile and NA pc would be treated like kings. They only care about kor servers and getting money-not necessarily what/who brings in that money.
