    hmm .. how about making PVE have even the tiniest inkling of challenge to it .. Not the current easy-mode faceroll system we have now that even Hellen Keller could navigate with a brail keyboard .. Just put her in a spot and repeat this sequence till your fingers bleed ..

    I stopped playing this game last year when I hit level 56 on 4 different characters.

    For me after level 56 any fun in the game became like a second job.

    Brutal.

    This game has two combat modes, powerful or weak. Nothing in between.

    You either facemelt everything you touch or you get facemelted.
    You either kill everything in one hit, or you wack at it like you are beating something with a water noodle.

    The soft cap has been raised to 60. Leveling from 56-60 is a lot easier now.
    To be fair, getting to 58 was actually fairly easy particularly with the new crystals, the amount of xp you get from grinding at Bashims was fairly respectable. :)

    I still enjoy the game once in a whlie but the feeling of some achievement is long gone. I just do my daily grinding and afk fish. Theres just really nothing to look forward to for me. Not to mention its hard to play with the constant 1/2 to 1 second frame rate drops. Hell ill have drops sometime where the sound even cuts. Fighting, fishing at the trader makes no difference.

    these devs are so completely out of touch and incompetent to the point of becoming comical.
    "we widened the gear gap between players to reduce the gear gap between players" is how you would translate the renown system. this is just ludicrous and mindblowing.
    and all of these gear disparity issues have been added while the balance between classes is still in shambles since awakening was implemented years ago.
    truly (and sadly) hopeless.

    pvp in a rpg ...lol
    Balanced ...lol

    Who are they trying to fool?
    When i saw that one hole left open to incorporate rmt ,i knew right away not to trust this developer or at least some of it's employees.
    "fingers bleed" no thanks,that combat system is the dumbest one i have ever seen,i have never looked back and only wish i had never bought the game knowing that KR game design has always been bad and until i see changes or a sing of,they will continue to be bad.
    IDK how it all started,maybe they got the idea of spammy ARPG type gaming from Blizzard,maybe from the early Diablo days,idk where or why but it is really bad game designs.

    it is the best 'what if' mmorpg ever.
    what if the devs weren't completely dumb ?
    what if classes were balanced ?
    what if the cash shop wasn't so horribly pay to win and expensive ?
    what if all these layers of stupid RNG progression weren't there ?

    you'd have an amazing game if all of these things were fixed.

    at the end of the day, it is a decent game in a sea of terrible to average games but it's got some pretty damn glaring issues. if you've never played it though, grab it for 5 bucks on steam and give it a month. it is worth experiencing despite all the issues.

    I'm just tired of the enhancement system. I uninstalled after getting to the end game and being expected to spend hours grinding, only to have it all become irrelevant because RNG was feeling sassy that day.

    If that ever changes, I'll give it another go.

    For this to change they will need to figure out another way of making money.

    Because artisian memories is the real cash cow of BDO and it goes hand in hand with horrible RNG and losing enhancment on gear.

    The entire system is designed to beat a player up until they give into the cash shop


    Then it looks like it shant ever see the light of day through my computer.

    It's the kind of RNG system that makes Lootboxes seem more appealing... and even then BDO has those too!

    The changes they've been making have ruined the game for me and all I played with. Every single one of us has quit. They are turning everything on it's head that we have been working with the past two years and also plan on making all classes the same. We have one cookie cutter build and soon we will have characters that look different but are the exact same in how they play. GG Pearl Abyss I'm not playing your game anymore.
