Pearl Abyss has confirmed the rumor that several Korean sites had reported on yesterday that it is indeed working on a mobile version of Black Desert Online. The team is considering what content can make the jump to mobile and how to best utilize its new in-house, mobile optimized engine.

I don't leave my computer on for long periods with the game in the background just when I am on and just for a couple of hours. I do not play more than 4 hours a day at most so my progress is slow but I like the game. I do wish workers continued to work even if they tripled the time offline. I really don't like this about the game. It is a bad way to require people to be logged on for so long even minimized in the tray.
This will only work if you open up the wallet otherwise the game will just make expensive calls to Africa
I have made MMORPG and desktop, mobile, that is not true, it depends on the developer.... There are many things you can do on Desktop that you can on mobile...Will it have low poly models, yes.... But most MMO's do anyways..... But some shaders will need to be optimized for mobile, some scripting will need to be.... Lighting etc... But depends how they made there mechanics, and models etc, just need to optimize a bit more for mobile....
But the game still can have it, I have worked for large and now smaller company's so it can be done , and done right...Most mobile games make small land for games, which you can make larger ones, with correct, streaming, using Multi- threading, batching and more... properly...
This is meant to be a joke, but it looks like they did stop most of the hacking with the lastest patch.
Also, it's a really dumb point. I guess Blizzard shouldn't have made Overwatch because WoW has bugs, hacks and cheats, huh?
ontop of that blizzard is a multi billion dollar company backed by activision and from what i can tell Pearl Abyss is a 1 game wonder so far who is more focused on making a mobile game now than fixing their PC version of the game.... it's honestly apples and oranges trying to compare blizzard to PA
There are definitely some bugs, and they're working on it. They've already fixed important ones.
Also, Blizzard doesn't release incredibly buggy patches? Ever play WoW?
My point here is if you're going to wait until your MMO is perfectly bug free before doing anything else, you'll never do anything else.
No game publisher has ever bought a region-specific license to distribute any game in Africa/Middle East, but Pearl are still holding out for a publisher to do that for BDO. That's why BDO is still IP-blocked in those regions.
Pearl is either clueless or excessively greedy.
Given that they are now planning a "mobile version" of BDO, I'd be inclined to go with the "greedy" assessment...
Well, obviously it wasn't a great patch bug-wise. But that huge list makes it seem like the game is broken to someone who isn't playing it. There are a few serious bugs that still need to be dealt with ASAP. Like 5 things.
The thing is Daum was under a lot of pressure to get seiges out asap. The mistake, if there was one, was trying to fit so many different changes into one patch. I don't think I've ever seen a patch with this many changes in all my years playing MMOs that wasn't an expansion.
With that many changes, things are bound to go wrong, especially when you're modifying an already existing patch.
My main point is the guy was saying Blizzard doesn't release buggy patches. That's just BS.
I don't care what company you are, if you release a patch this big, things are going to go wrong.
Bottom line, though- the game now has seiges. There are tons of working fixes that really help the game and hacking has apparently been dealt with, for now at least.
People are focusing on the few things that went wrong, but hundreds of things went right, and the game is much better for it.
the huge list doesn't make it seem like it's broken, it gives an accurate list of current bugs with the game that has been compiled from multiple user reports on the forums. but ok, keep white knighting... even i play the game but i'm not blind to see how poorly the game is behind handled.
Why was there so much pressure for seige wars... because content that was meant to be released ago stil isn't and there is literally 0 accountability or quality control / management of the situation going on... even CM / GM / CSR presence on the forum is at a minimum.
Edit - but hey don't let me stop you praising them.. EVENTUALLY you will get tired of the crap too like so many of us have.
And the list isn't accurate. One example- the last one has nothing to do with the patch. I could go through the whole list but I'm not willing to waste my time arguing.
Bottom line- I'd much rather they get the content and fixes to us as soon as possible, even if it means some things are going to go wrong.
Compare today to a week ago-
We have sieges
We have many balance changes that are good for the game
We have a reserve system- no more auction sniping
Current hacking techniques don't work anymore, at least not without getting banned instantly
These 4 things are absolutely huge improvements. And you're giving me a list telling me an NPC's voiceover doesn't work. Seriously dude.
Ah Holden and BDO entertainment at it s best.
Fun times.
Edit:Pop in your phone and have fun with BDO.The only game where you can afk fish,while you are fishing!
wizards having the ability to MMA spam and destroy everything around them
WoTW almost infinite spam now
slightly buffed warrior hp, but potential 3% dps loss when they were meant to be getting buffed
zerker abilties only some of which were meant to be buffed actually are and none of which that are meant to do healing.. do actually do any healing
tamer pets which have basically been turned into cosmetic pets that can stun
sorcs getting flame nerfed, which is ok.. but now most of them have to cough up the $10 to respec builds
thats just off the top of my head...
but it's cool, seriously dude
