After last week's poll, Daum Games has let players know that the votes have been counted and that Auto-Path Looping has been enabled in game. This should be good news for players who have a regular circuit they travel and / or who want to loop a specific path while offline.

Read the full story here

    The existing autopath feature was already pretty lame IMHO. BDO made a big fuss about not having portals as they break immersion but then implemented a system where you go watch TV for 10 minutes while your character autopathed to a destination.

    Now they implement autowalk and autofeed options to level up your stats while AFK! I don't see the point having stats in a game which can be autopathed up to max by leaving your computer logged in for a couple of days! This is the first game I've ever played where they have implemented botting into the code!

    I don't see how AFK grinding all your stats to max helps improve immersion? Time to find a new game that really understands what immersion means.

    yeah, I am sad that this got implemented, I will continue to play because i really like the game but I won't utilize the auto-path looping feature.  It may put me at a disadvantage , but as I've said before, that doesn't matter to me.  I would rather earn my stats

    I think it's what you make of it. 

    "I" don't go watch TV for the most part. I actually enjoy the view as my character speeds along. I try not to use it too much because it doesn't level (at least the last incarnation) your stamina.

    The idea of this system is that it will level up stamina. I'm not really for it for characters but I do think it's a good idea for leveling up horses.

    Its really convenient, gives me time to go grab a beer, check news articles, etc. There's a lot I can do in game while pathing too.

    this will make horse training bearable. Leveling up  Breathing was never a problem anyway, from natural play I ended up at like 28 breathing, but training horses was a nightmare.

    Why this got disabled in our version in the first place - hopefully lesson learned for Daum.

    Just give us everything in KR version please.

    I agree entirely, though I must say they are really listening, the poll was only up for a few days before they acted upon it's overwhelming information.
    It was an obvious choice and they made it fast, I'm impressed.

    Soon people will watch Twitch streams of other players automated movements. People don't want to play games anymore, it's very strange to me.

    This feature was part of the game design. No one is going to literally run around for hours upon hours to level a horse. If you can afk fish then why not afk autorun to level a horse? This game is all about managing your time both actively playing and passively playing. I'm always sick of casuals crying about not having enough time to play so they want short cuts or to buy their way through the game. This game rewards you for planning ahead and managing your resources well. I wish they would stop with holding back features and content, but I'm glad they listen to the community in the end.

    Any game that encourages you to stay logged in while AFK sucks.

    This is one of the reasons I refunded the game. No portals and you need to travel where you want to go, that sounds good, now just go afk and let the game play itself. Hows that better than no fast-travel?

    Kinda lame if you ask me.

    What? Even the level 49 PVP enabling quest? But I thought... :)

    I'm so so happy for this feature.  With this game already being such a time sink, auto pathing has been a great way to get to your destination while stretching your Real-Life legs and grabbing a drink :)  It hasn't felt like a break of immersion since you'll actually get to your destination much faster if you are actively running.  Auto run is more of a speed vs convenience trade off.
    Specific features such as horse training and strength training have become extremely difficult without the loop-pathing, and now players have more options for AFK time (In addition to auto fishing and processing).

    Game basically has a sub fee since you're going to be paying 10-15 extra in electricity leaving your computer on all the time.

    I actually think this helps with immersion as it means the world is more populated with people traveling all kinds of paths.

    If the game didnt allow for some afk play the world would probably feel a lot more empty.

    Personally i thought the horse leveling ws a bit over the top and way too grindy.

    I find it hillarious when people say what next afk combat. Lol if you want to can control your horse for a week straight just to level it go right ahead nothing stopping you, me i would prefer to hit up that non-afk combat when im at my keyboard more often as i dont have to spend huge amounts of time leveling a horse.

    IMO that would be better - as it would make a lot of PvE players happier, which is better for everyone, no?

    Yup. Pretty well what I said in the thread I started about that quest text still being in the game.

    "Seems to me like an easy way to throw the PVE-only crowd a bone would be to make the game match the text and they can all be blissfully 49 forever."
