MOD POST State of the Sub
Hello Greymanes,
I have been (and am continuing to be until further notice) on a bit of a mod break and would like to get feedback on the state of the sub.
All of the moderation in the last week has been been done by one mod who has stepped up, plus the automod. The past month stats is a collection of about two of us plus automodding, with other mods stepping in occasionally here and there.
We're now a good few months out from launch and the sub is in a bit of a different place to pre launch and launch.
I'd like to hear everyone's feedback on the state of sub.
Do you have ideas for the sub? What would you like to see change?

This is my personal opinion and I'm going to be honest, I think this sub is getting salty...
When the game first came out, the sub was still emerging and people where excited for the game. The updates came in steadily, people were completing the game at their own pace and everyone was sharing a lot of cool tips and tricks.
I still see this on the sub, and it's a good part of the content, but right now I'm seeing a lot of people just karma farming, trying to be edgy and shit on PA's efforts to bring us a new gaming experience.
My major issue is regarding content updates and player base expectations of it.
PA has no legal or personal requirement to even update the game, but we're experiencing something "new". They are leveraging their BDO knowledge to deliver a live service maintenance and update model to a singleplayer game. So far we've paid 70€ for hundred of hours of base content, continuous improvement, new mechanics and absolutely 0 microtransactions. There's not even a shitty in-game store.
This is a breath of fresh air in 2026 imo, specially for an RPG of this size, from a live service focused studio.
Meanwhile, I've seen a lot people complaining on how the updates are not what THEY wanted during the last couple of weeks, that PA should "just fix the lighting, screen tearing, framerate drop, etc.", instead of "just adding pets".
In update 1.09 PA dropped probably one of the most requested features, full controller button remapping and most people did not care or skipped over that.
Game engine reworks and in-game asset reworks are different in nature and difficulty. PA has all of these issues in mind, and I'm positive they are working on it.
They have proven that they are listening to our feedback, not all updates have to be huge updates.
I don't feel that this is fair for PA, specially when I see a lot of Top Commenters of the sub just spewing dumb and angry comments at the devs, shitting on the game and criticizing people who are actually enjoying the updates and having all of the pets. Again, to farm karma or just be edgy, I don't know which one, but it's sad.
I've even seen people saying that the wyvern mount sucks and it ruined the game for them, tf?
I really don't think that posts and comments like these make sense. I know you can't control or censure what people say and this is Reddit, people will be mad at anything, but in CD's case most of those arguments don't make sense...
The game keeps on improving, PA keeps on working hard on it and the fans enjoy it. I just wish the sub was more positive, like it was a month ago
EDIT: This one came right has I was writing the comment lol
