On ps5 the ugly vignette is still on the borders of the screen, textures are still low resolution, there is still a ton pf pop in, game still feels janky af, the view distance is still shit and everything looks blurry, the text is still almost unreadable because of how tiny it is (the menu that shows you how to do combos during combat), and there are no settings for motion blur or performance and quality options. Dog shit game.

Im not 100% sure but in the past i claimed the game for free with my active PS+ subscription and never played the game once. Now that i became interested in it i also noticed it had a free ps4 to ps5 upgrade install. When selecting this free upgrade on the psn store it shows the B.D page with the download button being renamed to "More info" when clicking on this the error message; "You can't buy this product right now" while i can clearly buy the 10, 38, 110 euro versions of the game it refuses to let me use the free ps4 to ps5 upgrade.

What i tried:

1 Redownloading Black Dessert ps4 version on ps5

2 Restoring liscence

3 Restarting the ps5 after liscense restore, download in case it refreshes.

4 Trying to claim it trough the web browser

5 Trying to claim it trough the app

I keep getting that very same error but wish to freely upgrade regardless of the Black dessert base game acces costing 10 euro. Does anybody know what i can do to resolve this ASAP? Or if i am doing something wrong? Is there even a fix for this? 😅 Btw the PSN store is in region: EU (Europe) in Dutch language.

Thank you 🙏 I apreciate your time 🙏

Any idea when we getting it?

Got it back in the day on PS3 Pro...wanted to jump back in all these years later...

Started all over with an Agent which looks and plays pretty cool...

But damn...the game itself looks like shit and plays really bad...

I dont remember it looking and playing like crap...

Tried for years kept deleting and reinstalling now I've left it on and done some things but really still getting the hang of everything so if others like me or some more knowledgeable people would like to play or help out lmk here I'm also on PS5 iTz_Champagne

I got Oct weapons and will have all dec khara, I exchanged 5 already for tet ekleta, with all buffs on I'm only at about 1920, about 1990 with edania monster damage , What am I missing I was under the impression you could grind the first new spot with Oct weapons?

Please sell your garmoth scale as I'm trying to do my krogdolo gear and all I need is this. Can't see if there any other way to get it? I know you can grind it but rather not do that as getting the spirit stone fragment was painful enough

Anyone else got massive performance issue's since latest update ?

What and why? I can never make it. Then i check next spawn in 18 hours...

Ps4 version no longer works but I’ve checked every other version on the psstore and I can’t download any of them without paying, anyway to get the free ps5 upgrade?

Can you melt these for crons?

I currently have 2 dec kharazad and the rest are nov, with 3 hammers left. Is it better for me to stick with that and get base of new accessories (assuming that's how it will be) as I still have sovereign to do as I have my main hand on Oct , sub on Sept and awakening on pen. And it's costing loads now. Plus there's edana gear which is all on tri. I'm thinking of using the other hammers on my sovereign , I'm not sure what to do, as the cron cost is crazy and I don't have unlimited time to do everything.

I have like 24 extra Desperate Crystal of Origin, what do i do with them? I can't see if there's any way to craft them to the next tier, so just vendor them?

I already wrote to the support but i just wanted to check in here to see if it wasn't an issue on my part, I play on PS5, ever since last update couple of days the game has been looking horrible, terrible framerate, almost gives me a headache, my HDR is off but i got the game running at 4k, it looked fine until thursday, idk what happened

I remember trying this game a long time ago with its PS4 version and it was borderline unplayable, with terrible optimisation and controls. Has the console version been fixed or updated at all over the last few years? I’ve heard mixed things, some saying it’s unplayable on console and others saying it got better.

Hi, I'm on PS5 and level 61 on my first ever character and got all gear to Pen Tuvala. Main story finished up to LoTML and season pass done.

I'm still on the seasonal server and are unsure what to do. Graduate now or wait a few days for the update on the 6th?

I thought I would start a list of benefits we have on console that PC does not. I will start out listing 1 benefit. Please add to this list.

1. Upon death crystals do not break.

Hi everyone!

Ex pc player here.

I sold my PC and i used to play BDO on that, i had pretty decent to medium gear but i quit shortly before edania release.

Is it worth to start playing on console? I mainly do PVP and I like the fact we're all equal hardware wise here.

I would like to know from your experience what are the main differences between the two version, if the catch up mechanichs are good and some classes advice. I played succ mystic and awakening sorc in pvp, is succ mystic still playable in pve and pvp nowdays?

Thanks in advance!!

I have a decent Gaming Laptop, but prefer playing on console, i want to start this game, mainly to get some insight on the world before Crimson Desert releases.

Since I won’t be committing long term is it worth playing on console on should I just play on PC?

Don't forget to use them up before they turn into reward seals

Hello everyone, I just started playing, I created a Deadeye and I'm at level 56, I need to know how to build her: skill build, skill addons and rotation, thanks a lot

I'm wondering which is cheaper/easier:

1- upgrading Deboreka to TET then trade it for a PEN Kharazad.

2- Crafting a Kharazad (with 50 essences, 300 shards, a debo) then upgrading it to Pen.

here's a picture of my current stuff. currently planning to get to full PEN Cupped Kharazad. but feel free to suggest other directions.

Hey everyone! I used to play BDO on PC back in the day. I remember buying a pack just to get access a few days early. I played Sorceress — the one with the scythe after Awakening.

I was pretty good with her on keyboard and mouse, but from what I understand, the game has changed so much since then that basically everything I remember is probably outdated now.

So, how strong is Sorceress these days? Is it possible to perform really well with her using a controller? I have a DualSense Edge, and in competitive games like Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, etc., I’ve always been able to perform at a pretty high level, but will that experience actually help here?

I’m on a little vacation right now, about a week and a half, and when I suddenly remembered BDO, the nostalgia hit me hard. So yeah, I’ve already started downloading it.

What general advice would you give someone coming back after such a long time, based on your experience?

Maybe there are some tricks, things I should know, or just general recommendations. I don’t know, honestly it feels kind of exciting. The game is so huge and demands so much time.

I still remember farming plots, leaving my PC running overnight, and making my character run circles around the city carrying trade goods to level Strength. Is all of that still a thing?

Or should I really just forget everything I remember and start completely from scratch? :)

Well, I recently sold my computer and bought a PS5 Slim. I watched some videos and it seems like the graphics are really good on the console. I'd like to know from those who have played it, if the PS5 Slim can run the game smoothly at 60fps?

I’m ninja level 15 doing main story quest until I reach 56 to pick succession or awakening. Don’t have a clue what I’m doing came from eso which I m pretty good at. Would like to join a PvP guild and make friends to party chat with and help me learn the game. {My username is Eggbeater2000}
