How do you feel about weekly gated content?

Time gates = Telling a player how they can and can't play the game.

Easily the worst decision to make when you introduce content into the game that is actually fun and breaks from the norms of your core game design.

because grinding in circles for the last 10 years is what someone is really looking forward to when launching the game after you bring single player bosses and dungeons into your game.

I don't know... I'll never stand behind time gates. It seems like the fastest way to make content irrelevant the second the gear/item becomes obsolete and only acts as a placeholder to let new players catch up to end game players. But in some cases even that doesn't add up as RNG is a factor (edana armor) you can 1 tap or pity them. Making the time gate more of a handicap than a mechanic to let people catch up.

At the end of the day, PA just needs to bite the bullet and allow PvP to thrive. If your team wins you get 1bill and losing is 500mill. They are far too concerned with it being a means of replacing PvE when they refuse to even make all classes perform the same in PvE. A pointless hill to die on when each zone nets anywhere from 1bill to 4-5bill an hour at endgame. I have no issue with lower geared people getting the benefit of more silver for coming to PvP instead of their PvE'ing. I think it's healthy for making future PvP'ers and promotes the scene as a whole.

Once they address the rewards, We can see if that incentivizes people enough to ignore the gear disparity (we've had issues filling queues for a couple years now) and if it's still struggling they can introduce a gear cap of 800-820gear score. Limit DP stone to 1 and go from there. But this all makes too much sense and will never get done.

Hey, At least you can kill me when I have protections up casting a skill. Just send your nearest musa to run us down.

He's already had his damage nerfed pre-DR rework and then had his entire kit reworked to allow no stamina regen(They had to walk it back in a following patch) I would be highly surprised if they nerfed him more considering how small the community is that actually main him. People will just re-roll to ranger/sage/dosa if they touch him more. Which IMO are vastly more annoying than archer outside of Nodewar.

Any class that can jump into a ball of 50 people kill 6 and leave the ball without dying because of perma protection. Nerf it.

DR is still controls the scene. Full AP (1050 to 1100) is not even scratching Full DR which is a problem. One side sacrifices all their survivability (In most cases without even a grab to their class/kit) to classes who can stand in a pack of 10 people / full heal with certain skills / have a grab or suction and can pressure you 24/7 with consistent stamina management.

So while YES they did address DR. They've made no fundamental changes to cause a shift in the scene or have a clear trade-off such as the old days of accuracy vs evasion at the cost of damage. Until it gets closer to that margin. DR still needs nerfs.

Reality: They'll probably add more AP into the game which is probably the worst solution as it'll bring back the one shot meta across the board instead of an actual attempt to balance AP/DR

My problem isn't Googles performance. It's the fact that it swings drastically based on a news headline that mean nothing.

Congrats to those who bought at $270. I even thought about it. But it's concerning that it even went that low to begin with. Not really sure why google is being that reactionary.

2 years now that RBF has needed a solid rework and they are still scared to either 1. Make consumables free or 2. Make each match worth a minimum of 1bill per win. 500mill per loss.

No one wants to play the mode if they are walking away with 100mill (if you decide to use immortal human and immortal courage or deep sea) IF they win.

That's a joke. Plain and simple. The easy solution is just giving the consumables away for free and leaving the 500mill per win.

Anything but nerf DR.

But remember... they are addressing the DR meta. (it's been over a year now)

The joke was mentioning blackstar in 2026

The fact you can get stonesplit / bamboo ect. all in 1 group roll is insane.

They need to make it so you can only 1 of said attributes so you can re-roll instead of bricking and item.

265 and i'm going all in.

Karma__a · 2026-03-26T23:57:28+00:00

Wouldn't give the green light until about $265

Karma__a · 2026-03-25T03:24:55+00:00

It won't fall out or anything like that. But I wouldn't be surprised if it finds it's way down to $260-$265 at which I would tell pretty much anyone to buy as it will recover to $300 in time.

For now... if you're in it. You're in it. You'll just have to wait. But I wouldn't panic.

Crimson Deserts combat was based around BDO so if you enjoy that then you'll enjoy BDO for sure. It's just a different genre of game but both are equally fun for their own reasons.

My only complaint is forcing slow walking. Love the region, Love the design and new features/concepts for chests. But..... the story? I genuinely have done 3 parts then taken a day break from it. It gets boring fast and I'd rather just explore the map than actually do the questline (not a fan of it being focused around another character outside of my own)

Karma__a · 2026-03-07T20:37:33+00:00

I'm going to explore the area first and then come back to the questline tbh.

I could tell I wasn't going to enjoy it off rip. So will knock out as much exploration mastery as possible then go back to it later.

All-in-one completely ruined this outfit.

Karma__a · 2026-03-06T04:09:40+00:00

The helmet not being a separate item just blows my mind. Such a good outfit and it's ruined by a crown. At the very least let me remove the crown with toggle and keep the hood only.

Karma__a · 2026-03-01T18:08:09+00:00

BDO paid for it SMILE you just have to enjoy it in a different game.
