I don’t hear much of the hardcore server, was there ever really any hype for it? It seeem black desert keeps trying this small “side games” and none of them seem to pan out. Like the first one they did where you were a spirit and found a character then weapons to do a round robin pvp like 24 vs. that was fun but then canned it quick. They can’t seem to really get down what they wanna do with those.
They really painted themselves into a corner with the Cron stone/Essence of Dawn thing at this point I’m not sure how you get out of it. The game is still enjoyable if you’ve never really gone end game before. There is so much to do, and so much ridiculousness, that you will never get through all of it. The problem they created is that everything you do that is not grinding for Cron stones or silver for dawn’s is wasted time
I would be wonderful if they could create some large dungeons or old school AD&D models with this game. There are some that would translate perfectly. Give rewards for cron stones, big silver, or do new spells/certificates to insta enchant accessories/stuff to I-V That would be fun and worth an hour or ten grind
They never will do it though due to the cash shop. Ultima, EQ, and Asheron’s Call don’t have to worry about this since they had subscriptions, and I’m not sure that wasn’t a superior system. They could get their forecasted cash and work on content rather than content being designed around the cash shop. Your never going to get any content that rivals the game companies main source of income
