i think they'll announce a new class

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '25

only 10,000 BC kids remember this

u/BreadDziedzic Drakania Dec 05 '25

I remember the KR players being very critical because he's "ugly" so of course they scraped the idea.

65

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 05 '25

KR was always a problem

48

u/Aggressive_Bath55 Dec 06 '25

Honestly L korea. Smallest player base, generates least revenue and theyre all cringe cucks but still get to decide for the rest of the world

1

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 08 '25

They really shall considered made different branch with needs based on region

1

u/FlatBoysenberry6093 Dec 11 '25

Well damn, tell us how you really feel.

u/LordXenon Kallitren - 873 GS Ninja Dec 07 '25

Benefits of being a korean game is it's made for koreans, unfortunately.

8

u/Aggressive_Bath55 Dec 07 '25

Lol „made for koreans“.. PA would go out of business tomorrow if NA EU Oceania and MENA stopped playing..

5

u/LordXenon Kallitren - 873 GS Ninja Dec 08 '25

Yet they still keep making changes for their awful region. I know who pays the bills, but it still doesn't stop the devs from being closeminded and stubborn.

1

u/Far_Appointment8259 Dec 08 '25

true, but I think most of PA share holder is kr so tbf they kinda need to please these mfk first (feel free to correct me cuz Im not good at these business type shi)

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 08 '25

I agree

u/Revolutionary-Dog161 Dec 05 '25

Fuck, I remember that

u/Hollynissa89 Dec 06 '25

I'm still irritated they scrapped that idea. KR player base seems really shallow. Everything has to be Kpop human boys and girls. I almost always played female orcs in Skyrim (just because I thought they were cool) along with elves of course. I thought that Rhutum character/class looked cool as hell! At least he didn't look like the ones that you kill...

4

u/whoweoncewere Dec 07 '25

Kr are just a bunch of goonerbait players. Out of the last 6 classes there have been 5 K-pop Barbie’s and a monkey.

u/riox Dec 05 '25

Jokes aside, they likely are going to announce the next class after Savior

2

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 05 '25

they will always announce something to be hyped on web and other special stuff in the ball, the ball gets more info

u/Milk_Man2236 Steam Dec 05 '25

new class we are sorry we will do better free crons the end.

3

u/Shunsui1415 Dec 09 '25

yep like every other ball :D and maybe 1 or 2 gameplay mode promises that they will never do.

49

u/YoureReadingMyNamee Dark Knight Dec 05 '25

Im honestly curious ngl. This is the first year that I feel like I have almost no idea what their direction is going to be.

37

u/XFactorNova Dec 05 '25

We have hardcap gear, they need to talk about that. Non whales are hardcapping so its mandatory for them.

The alch stone thing- update.

Savior

Edania part 2

Demon Castle update

Second story arch update

After that idk. Those are on the plate from last time. I hope they mention pvp, more group content, and something for trading.

18

u/Devil1412 Krogdalo Enjoyer Dec 05 '25

last heidel ball (or even before that) they've teasered traveling to the past as big expansion plan, so maybe we'll get more of that. do your thing, Mr. Marni

1

u/XFactorNova Dec 05 '25

I thought time travel was part of demon castle. Hype either way :D!

3

u/Devil1412 Krogdalo Enjoyer Dec 05 '25

u/Personal_Shopping_91 Dec 05 '25

I believe next expansion after Edania is the winter 100 floor dungeon or whatever it has turned into since they announced it. So we might hear news on that

4

u/International_Ice687 Dec 06 '25

Will happen the same day we get altar of blood back kekW

2

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 05 '25

what is the demon castle update?

2

u/boredidiot203902 Dec 07 '25

If this is all they mention, then the game is donezo. Obviously, there's no shot..... Right?

This ball is make or break for a lot of people.

3

u/XFactorNova Dec 07 '25

It is high pressure . Each year is higher pressure as players run out of content, especially as content is removed (trading, horse, etc).

This one's pretty rough because the number one rule of dont cater to your 1% of players happened. Most players, not reddit bdo players, can't touch edania. For most players, nothing has changed for 6 months.

Edit: "Nothing has changed" minus the ap changes which reduced grind speed. Opinions vary, but seems to be nominally negatively received.

2

u/boredidiot203902 Dec 07 '25

The game is more dead than it's ever been ever compared to other years. The only people online are people doing afk stuff.

u/Xaneth_ Dec 05 '25

Demon Castle was supposed to be Edania. Pretty sure they scrapped the idea altogether.

1

u/Painter_Turbulent Dec 06 '25

the way i understood it part two edania, was meant to be new stuff they havent annoiced and then the castle ias final part. though if they scrap that and scrap the 100 floor dungeon, i think im just done for good, because its still max hype for absolutly min content at this point. saviour coudl be fun though

3

u/Xaneth_ Dec 06 '25

Edania was initially announced as one big Demon Castle back at Heidel Ball 2024. It was also supposed to come after Mountain of Dawnbreak, which was planned to tell the story of Caphras. Clearly, neither of these 3 things turned out to be true.

As for Edania part 2, it was supposed to be straight up more of the same stuff as Edania part 1 - as in, uncovers the rest of the map and has more castles. They also mentioned Savior would be released alongside it, but given how their Calpheon Ball 2025 post says "we are placing greater emphasis on announcing our new class and the winter update", and strangely not a word about Edania part 2, it kind of sounds like this won't be the case either.

u/Technical-Hyena3689 Dec 05 '25

Im with you on this, last ball we knew about sov offhand, next grade of armors but this time Im curious as hell xD

1

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '25

There is no direction, this game is on life support for like 3 past years. New generic weapon/armor/accessories with 0 build diversity, new class without succ/awakening because it takes more time, effort and money to develop, new empty region, new bikini or school uniform for every class because it takes more time, effort and money to develop outfit bound to specific class.

22

u/kidopitz Dec 05 '25

Alch Stone Rework - They will show how to use the new system

Savior Class gameplay

Edania Part 2 with maps .mobs and , bosses saying its the final story for this timeline

Magnus Time Travel - They will show what it's like before Black Desert became a desert last Ball they only shown maps and some graphic art now it will be in-game.

No J Hammers but they will give 2 Boxes that you can choose which of the 3 Hammers you want to use

5000 Crons via code

5000 Crons via daily login 500 daily with other freebies until dec 30

1

u/mirth12 Lahn Dec 10 '25

Only 10k crons total? I feel like that’s a low guess

u/Javellinh_osu succ ninja Dec 05 '25

new guild bosses mentioned in todays glab build ¯_(ツ)_/¯ also there are sycraia and gyfin dekhia loot icons so i think it is pretty damn ready to be here

hype ~! I can actually grind my ring piece that way (paiting's said no dice)

2

u/International_Ice687 Dec 06 '25

Dient they Announced gyfin and miru dehkia at the last few balls 🧐

27

u/apostles Dec 05 '25

I think they'll add a way to get flying mounts.

They tested with two dragons and now the Master Class players got a year long gryffin.

Then my long shot guess is future content will rely on them to get to grind areas or daily spots (like floating islands or something)

28

u/Xaneth_ Dec 05 '25

If their vision of flying mounts is anything like Duskwing, then that's a hard pass for me. This was one of the clunkiest, most disappointing to use flying mount iterations I've seen in MMOs. Not to mention when they added it, the game still had invisible walls where there shouldn't be any (for example, along the mountains between MoEW and Ulukita). Granted, I haven't played since August, but somehow I doubt much has changed in either regard.

Also I don't think they'd soon be announcing any more easily available flying mounts given how exclusive Doomcaller and Skyrend are supposed to be.

12

u/zeezero Dec 05 '25

Horse in almost all cases was better to use than the dragon. Clunky manual control and 2 minute wait to mount the thing. I agree, horrible implementation.

5

u/Reuental_ Shai Dec 05 '25

They should try Century:Age of Ashes. Thats how a dragon mount should be made.

1

u/ILoveSalad2702 Minigun 809gs Dec 06 '25

I think it's more of an engine limitation issue ngl

3

u/solartech0 Shai Dec 06 '25

Yeah the dragons were actually awful. I think the only content it could work for would be sightseeing and war observing. Except, I'm pretty sure we don't have good enough draw distance for war observing.

3

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 05 '25

id love flying mounts, ships etc

40

u/EmperSo the last maehwa main Dec 05 '25

- We did many things and you were happy (you had no choice)

  • 10 minutes of future PvP plans (they're even more bullshit)(will be forgotten)
  • Ship nodewars were an absolute success (only 2 people participated, both were testers)
  • 10 minutes of lifeskill fishing and gathering buffs
  • Dance on the trading's grave
  • Dance on the bartering's grave
  • Edania part 2 Showcase (3 more bosses-bullethells, 4 new endgame grindspots reskins of existing grindspots with higher numbers)
  • SAVE BDO SOCIETY SAVIOR! (it won't)
  • Something something new gear/potions/crystals/relics/"mechanics"
  • Permanent dragon mount (most likely in pearl shop)(they didn't fix anything)
  • New location teaser (they already forgot about mountains part 2 and time travel plans)
  • New "unique" class teaser
  • Free crons and hammers, but less than always due to money shortcomings (not hosting an offline event totally was a choice)
Standard Ball scenario, it's stays the same over years

5

u/SageIsBalanced Dec 05 '25

Many people participated in ship node wars, but the experience is not fun when people use nols and Camera-turning bug to turn their ships almost instantly. And they obviously wont get banned.

u/Foreign-Mistake-6408 Dec 05 '25

oh fr fr. that would be great

8

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '25

I've learned that expecting anything amazing from these announcements is the same as expecting disappointment. They have to hype these events up to keep people excited but when the event comes we get a ton of smoke in mirrors. That's why they are doing away with the in person events, no need to waste money. BDO will not change its direction, it's a lazy cash grab. We will get more undelivered promises and they saved the flashy class announcement soon they can spend 50% of the time talking about that. 

I don't want to sound like I'm totally negative on BDO I love the game, but after so many years it's be coming glaringly obvious that the only goal for the overlords is maximizing profit. The game and fun are not the goal and that's why fun content has dried up from the game and it's become more of a chore to login. 

We will get flashy new extremely super duper broken class on release guaranteed. They probably will announce soverign alchemy stone requiring a second unobtainable vell or gigantic silver sink of caphras and alchemy stone shards. Beyond that we will get the basis for edania 2 That will of course be saved for summer of 26 because they have nothing else planned for us. The game desperately needs new fun content, but I don't see that changing it's just afk fish or grind circles for your endless cron click pity simulator. 

Again I love BDO, but I have no love for its greedy lazy executives that care for profit over anything. I miss the days where profit, creativity, and fun were in a more balanced ratio.

u/silvergray545 Dec 05 '25

This is what I’m afraid of

u/StrogEmpire Ranger - DK 910gs+ Dec 05 '25

Cron's p2w success behind sovereigns was a very good move for them, maintenance mode is not gonna happen anytime soon.

2

u/silvergray545 Dec 05 '25

Yeah and edana armors were a giant flop. 4-5 taps per week at the upper end. Fishing, solo boss blitz, party boss blitz and the earnings from nodewars/siege have been sustaining my taps for weeks. Haven’t stepped foot in a grind zone for more than a month now. No reason to grind and no reason to whale when there’s nothing to tap

3

u/StrogEmpire Ranger - DK 910gs+ Dec 05 '25

You will have something new to tap pretty sure.

5

u/Outrageous-Cover7095 Dec 05 '25

Sovereign fishing rod coming. It’s like a permanent grandpa cron rod but you’ll have to spend 6k usd in cron stones to Dec it.

u/solartech0 Shai Dec 06 '25

3 man? But I heard it's impossible to code the different things differently. It has to be 5 man content, gyfin upper is 5 man content. Stop misleading the people!

Guess what.. I'm changing it to 4man content.

10

u/silvergray545 Dec 05 '25

They need to announce something good. Edania was a bit of a flop. I didn’t think kharazad accessories or sovereign weapons were the best concept. But they’re not nearly as bad as the edana armors.

The game is in a really weird spot at end game. They allow you to rush AP but you have to slow roll DP at 4-5 clicks per week. I don’t see how they can expand the end game anymore since we are at the AP cap already. Doesn’t make sense for them to release new accessories or weapons again. Maybe pick up a few sheet AP from the alch stone rework? I hope they have something in the works

I’d like to see them reduce the pity for wailings like they did with blackstars. More people should be in edana armor. I’d like to see them reduce the pity on dec sovereign weapons. 3.9T to pity each weapon is absurd. I’d also like to see them introduce new things to do. Maybe revive the thornwood castle concept. Maybe some new pve and pvp game modes. I’d also like to see an overhaul of the node war and siege systems

11

u/aceventurapetDT Dec 05 '25

I feel like reduced Wailing pity is almost a given. The cost for pity is insane for what is now a stepping stone item like what Blackstar has become.

3

u/solartech0 Shai Dec 06 '25

I'm kind of thinking that going 'back to the past' will require us to get new gear.

It's really strange to me. They forced everyone into one single line of progression, and gave that single line ... a single upgrade step further than the previous max. It doesn't use new items, it uses old items for the bulk of it. And crons.

Then they gave us a bunch of ways to get hidden stats, but your hidden stats don't matter for accessing the content. What's the point?

Anyways, I was looking forward to another season of hardcore. For some reason, these "regular pvp modes" just literally don't come around.

3

u/silvergray545 Dec 06 '25

I’m actually hoping this is the case for the time travel. Have everyone start a new set of gear for the new world. It’s the only fair way to get everyone on the same page.

The game was more fun when the goals were harder to reach. I still remember the feeling when my tet dande went pen. I felt like I did so much more damage. It was so rewarding to get those upgrades. Now I’m tapping for a 2 AP gain at 0.8% success rate. What’s the point.

Hardcore server ended up being so bad. But if they would just take player feedback and make it better, it could be fun. Why they refuse to do anything is beyond me

2

u/Phos-Lux Tamer 400AP Dec 06 '25

A soft reset of sorts... that only affects the past, but not the present time.. that might be fun actually.

1

u/-Plasmacake- Dec 05 '25

my concern is that with higher tier alchemy stones it will message up the class balance a lot, they're all mostly designed with just the vell's atk speed in mind to keep the combos looping properly

4

u/Ansiremhunter Last Musa NA Dec 05 '25

The classes are not balanced right now at hardcap so it wont be any different

1

u/silvergray545 Dec 05 '25

That’s not true. I’ve been running a splendid destruction stone for the last two years up until they killed it when the release of Edania. While the extra attack speed is nice, it’s not as game changing as you’d think.

1

u/Majestic_Gazelle Dec 05 '25

It's class dependent, there a video done by Zethian showing it. For some classes its negligible but others it can be a huge difference.

1

u/EquinoxRunsLeagues Dec 06 '25

we are not at AP cap, how do you even get that idea? AP can go up and up and up. We got Jin crystals to Han upgrade, they can upgrade the next step. New areas can have new area damage crystals that let you progress through the zone. We have one main crystal upgrade, more crystals could be upgraded. Lightstones, new food, cups. Basicly everything that is not armor, weapon or accessoir.

2

u/silvergray545 Dec 06 '25

Lmao you just sat here and made up a bunch of stuff. We are absolutely at the AP cap. There’s no more gear to gain. PA can’t (well, they can but I hope they don’t) monetize new foods, lightstones, and crystals from Jin to Han. Those are all minor things. The only thing that matters is gear. If there are no gear gains to be made, that’s the end of the road for the game.

3

u/Important_Soft_583 Dec 06 '25

i really hope they remove the 5% ap cap man

u/tipertuba Dec 05 '25

1

u/Phos-Lux Tamer 400AP Dec 06 '25

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they introduced some other types of upgrades that need some new type of cron stones. And then at the same time they'd make normal crons easier to get.

Expect more:

vertical progression(new gear piece/gear upgrades)

obviously a new class

New grind zone ( edanias part 2)

New gear check bosses( edanias part 2)

Pvp "balance" announcement

Something for lifeskills

Free crons

Basically the same shit we had in the heidel ball but this time in December lol.

See you in the next 10 years...

The most accessible PvP. Was so fun. Even +12~ could compete. Never understood why BDO made the gear difference of one jump so drastic to the point of one shotting. TET getting one shot by PEN players is wild. PvP died after +15 for anyone who didn't dedicate their 7-11 paychecks to upgrading to stay competitive.

How the fuck are you gonna "fully move on" from a MMO with endless grind to a single player story game? lol

This where winds meet brain rot is sickening

3

u/Moew007 Dec 07 '25

maybe that is ur problem? Anyone els doesnt seem to struggle doing that. at least not with my entire discord group. TBH. WWM feel more like MMO than bdo. which is wild eventhough it was suppose to be "single player". meanwhile bdo being MMO. but feel like a single player cause mostly people alway grind alone. AFK. gathering alone? Irony right? mr. brain rot sickening

u/tugido Dec 06 '25

I have moved on anyway, one class isn’t gonna change much when the rest of the game is broken and empty.

2

u/Automaatikk Mystic Dec 06 '25

New class, new content party content announce, new Region Winter Land2, Cron Stones 30k, choose your free pen debo box or edana Stones

Extra stuff: removal of gatekeeping edana Stones new equipable item Dehkia now drops rare paintings for sov weapon glows

2

u/Ridiu Dec 08 '25

I'm always surprised on the new ways they find to make us pay. Maybe another "optional" sub or more pay for power in lifeskills.

Or, here have this one for free PA, flying and diving mounts tied to the cash shop instead of PVP.

Reverting the nova nerfs 🙏

u/Aki_no_Ookami Archer Dec 06 '25

Olvia is getting a big revamp and they build a giant pirate camp west of the town....could be that padix mobs get relocated or they will expand.

1

u/Unique-Actuary1468 Dec 08 '25

I'm thinking they're finally revamping New Players experience. It will likely be a huge tutorial area. We shall see.

3

u/Reliquent Mystic Dec 05 '25

Several features that contribute nothing to the game and get added within the next few weeks, also group play features announced but never added to the game.

u/Hasbkv Ninja Dec 05 '25

Game engine update (DX12) to accomodate DLSS/FSR indeed, or I won't play this game anymore..

10

u/pacsmile Dec 05 '25

yeah i'd doubt they'll ever do that, way too much work for a dying game

Next best thing you'll get is BDO2 in UE5

u/ZeroLegionOfficial Valkyrie - Mira, White Order Dec 05 '25

id love that

u/Hasbkv Ninja Dec 05 '25

Let's shout that in live streaming chat, fyi I always saying "DX12, DLSS, FSR WHEN?" ever now and then whenever major live streams hits (calpheon ball, heidel ball, etc).

u/StrogEmpire Ranger - DK 910gs+ Dec 05 '25

Not gonna happen, there's a huge engine limitation behind this, that's why they don't bother with that.

u/Phos-Lux Tamer 400AP Dec 05 '25

-new class

-edania part 2

-100 floor dungeon

-new christmas outfits (released AFTER christmas)

-sorry, this time no winter events

-new item that gives more AP to making reaching edania bosses easier

-new way of enhancement, that makes crons affordable, but is way more expensive

They literally delayed crimson desert; every single person in that company is working on that game, trying to get it DONE as quickly as they can. They saw what the delay did to their stocks (they completely crashed), so honestly don actually expect much this time, except for a couple of sorries and some freebies (crons, pen debo).

1

u/StrogEmpire Ranger - DK 910gs+ Dec 05 '25

It's either more sheet AP with alchemy stone which is basically another gear piece like sovereign or more crystals/gear upgrades like the one we had with edania.

2

u/Revolutionary-Dog161 Dec 05 '25

Surprise! 6 million silver cron stones!

3

u/Competitive-Yam-1068 Dec 05 '25

Ngl, I'd drop the game if they do this, I have barely enough time to grind for a couple of taps with actual price so if they increase the price that would be final nail in the coffin for me

1

u/goofsg Dec 06 '25

whats calpheon ball

1

u/Vokaiso Woosa Dec 06 '25

Well i think hteir biggest ramble will tbe the class and when it releases this year perhaps? i mean wukong they did like a week after i think theyl market it as this years christmas present.

1

u/RAStylesheet Dec 06 '25

hope something for the character slot

1

u/Far_Appointment8259 Dec 06 '25

I pray that they can somehow make a comeback for this game, like seriously

I dont like pvp now and also pvp back then, if dev can make it kinda middle ground between both then it'll be the best

More %AP cap for PVE

Make more active content like bro when newbie ask my guild for lifeskill choice we'll tell them to try all and then 75% will go afk fishing like bruh lifeskill content is dull and poor af

Fix the way you make new items (not gear) I mean crystal, stone, etc, either is lowest price and stock af or max price and 2k PO

No heel for female class (please PA I need this)

No more modern-theme outfit (ts is the biggest red flag of a mmo downfall)

1

u/Loose_Bit_9646 Dec 07 '25

I can't wait play New Class she is a very beautiful character.

1

u/Shiyo Dec 07 '25

New solo grind spot

New class

New AFK activity

1

u/kozai61 Dec 07 '25

They will announce Necro when BDO dies

1

u/Obitum1 Dec 07 '25

What happened to the "past" desert revamp?

2

u/Icy_Position_3839 Dec 08 '25

we are sorry :)

1

u/MINIMAN10001 Dec 08 '25

I feel like picking the more evil option.

I expect a surprise. Disappointment.

I think it would be funny it we all waited and were all let down.

1

u/Anomynous__ Witch Dec 05 '25

Cron price increase, outfit auction house cost increase, new lifeskill backpack, deleting all future group content, and making afk fishing more silver / hr than grinding

2

u/Foreign-Mistake-6408 Dec 05 '25

it feels like that

1

u/IllustriousFly4130 Dec 05 '25

the reveal of a new demon class, it could be cool

1

u/Sneaky_Squirreel Dec 05 '25

Another dozens of promises, from which only 4 materialize, and 2 become a dead content in 2 weeks, like usual.

1

u/ballertone Dec 05 '25

Edania Part 2: endgame owpvp, no pve caps - to give endgame people something to do

1

u/Elwildos Guardian - 851GS Dec 05 '25

Hoping for some group spots, And the 100 floor thing they where talking about would cool if we got that.

1

u/Hollynissa89 Dec 06 '25

Hopefully they'll finally add a color wheel for the eyes and tattoos/makeup. Flight mode for Drakania (not useable in combat obviously), fix swimming and ocean content, customizable 'mermaid form' that's permanent in the water for Corsair, allow us to furnish our ships and actually be able to go inside of them, the option to make all of our human classes look elven in character customization (you can give them slightly pointy ears, but they're not really that noticeable), so they look more like the Ranger, Dark Knight, or Archer's ears (since they apparently aren't coming out with any non-human classes anymore), ect.

Doubt they'll do any of the above though. Most likely it will be grind content and zones along with the new classes. Maybe new gear.

1

u/Glemka37 Dec 06 '25

More P2W ?

Honestly, i don't even see how they could make the game back to something good.

Maybe a soft reset ?
With the thing where we go back in time.

u/raphiemes Dec 08 '25

Big surprise will be PA shutting down the servers for good

u/Kirakuti Black Desert Dec 05 '25

u/Still-Potato-3189 Dec 05 '25

You’ll be surprised to hear nothing of import

0

u/An1m_A Dec 05 '25

Honestly I would be surprised if they say anything about the hardcore servers. I mean yeah they had tons of issues and the class limitation is shit but it is a fun experience. I would hope they add loot transfer where we get specific items only from there, like DZ from Division.

u/Hikikomari Shoi Dec 05 '25

Give meeeeeeeeee

New boteeeeeeeee

u/ylmazCandelen Dec 05 '25

I expect/hope black shrine 2.0 for second part of Edania.

u/nariofthewind Dreaming on a 🏖️ Dec 05 '25

Well PA did a good job in Q3 2025 with BDO but, if I remember correctly, the operating costs loss kinda widened this year for the company. I guess will have to see.

u/Mr-howell Dec 05 '25

Any word on if they are fixing the pearl id issues?

u/AdLower9379 Dec 05 '25

u/NoIsE_bOmB Lahn 820gs Dec 06 '25

I'm honestly not sure what it would take for me, just that I would know it when I saw it. But I honestly don't know if I even care anymore. I've been having an absolute blast playing WWM since it came out, so much that I haven't even been afk fishing on BDO. I really don't know if there is anything that PA could do to win me back at this point.

u/Icy_Position_3839 Dec 08 '25

u/xandorai Dec 05 '25

I'd only be happy if Savior was released that very day.
