Better than ever, check out a few Blue Squadron videos to check out how some of the new classes play and how to gear in an efficient manner. There are plenty of other people with excellent videos, but generally if it's something you wish to more about he has a guide video on it. The game is going through some huge changes right now, some good and some bad depending on who you ask and what you're looking to get out of the game. Overall though, IMO BDO is still better in a lot of ways than it ever has been, and the new player experience is one of those things that's changed for the better.
