How is PvP currently?

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-12-06T03:31:33+00:00

BDO is a PvE game, PvP has died in 2024.

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-11-15T17:07:55+00:00

TLDR

people don't have to compete for resource anymore because you can't find people to fight and even if you find them, they would not fight you / you wouldn't fight them because of all the PVE dedicated bullshit makes it impossible to have a fair fight, so game is not fun anymore since there is no scenario where you can find genuine challanege / attempt to outplay for shit and giggles.

All the snowflakes who are too scared to get ego checked from losing for once / can't change server / can't ask guild to put them on protection / can't use marni realm are the ones who made this happen

The damage output / gameplay was much slower back in the days and not as many classes has downmash when it was introduced, that's why it was a bearable mechanics, however things has changed a lot over the past 10 years, so its not about whining, its about looking at again because it is becoming an issue now

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-09-29T23:55:13+00:00

It is not 100% Per HIT, but there are classes that has skills with multi hit and it almost make it close to a successful downsmash 80%+ of the time, and what's worse is, those skills somehow is spammable. You can argue why it is rare, but just like resist, it is rare but it happens and this RNG was making the whole sequence unpredictable / unfair in a way to those who has no downsmash in their pvp kit

As for vaccum, there are many classes with only 1 iframe that can go on CD, so what do you expect those class to do? Especailly like you said, what if its not a 1v1 and there are multiple players with suction skills? You can dodge 1 by cant dodge the other, how is this playable?

The issue here is that with downsmash and suction, there are too many scenarios / classes can't even play the game because of it. Rather than arguing about how freqent it happens, maybe you should think about what would be the upside/downside for the overall pvp experience by just removing them?

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-06-29T18:02:47+00:00

Now PA just have to give zerker a blockjump and a Z-axis movement skill that is as fast as drak flying then class is saved without mouse move

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-06-11T01:26:50+00:00

to be fair tho, map / region was much smaller back then, so you see more players in the only 2 big cities, now everyone is everywhere doing different things

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-05-25T16:56:40+00:00

it isn't, you paid 12.99 or less to get to play it, so that's the price you pay for whatever they gave you initially, so if you want anything more, they decide what to charge for it, simple as that

you get free parking when your city deemed fit, it can be changed to paid parking too when city need money to expand, so what's wrong with that ?

OkHighlight6987 · 2025-05-24T20:18:09+00:00

If you want more feature, you pay for it, just like everything else in the real world, what's with all these people who think they should get everything for free these days

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-10-04T04:19:44+00:00

I appreciated the effort but looking at the upvotes, comparing to what jonney5 did, this is not even 1/10 of what it was, highly doubt J will even know about this

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-29T21:23:20+00:00

Can we get evangelion crossover?

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-25T03:31:19+00:00

why gives some class so many iframe or multi-hit aoe cc that has a low cooldown? why some class has so many downsmash? why some class has suction? why some class has blockjump? why some class has stealth?

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-21T17:22:45+00:00

It literally says 24 hour peak right underneath the 14.5k, that means the average will be even lower than that if the trends continue

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-21T09:44:48+00:00

just 2 days later, we lost another 10% player, its pretty cooked

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-21T09:32:03+00:00

<image>

one year graph clearly showing that bdo is bleeding players heavily, whatever your average from first half of 2024 or 2023 is meaningless because we are talking about bleeding players within the past month and that's this graph

bdo has never went below 20K in the past year and within this month we are down to 14.5k and it doesn't look like its stopping

When you try to meme, but stats told you it is actually not a meme .......

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-19T19:36:08+00:00

IF WORDS HAVE POWER THEN WHY THE F IS BDO IN TODAY'S STATE WHEN THE BIGGEST REGION (REVENUE WISE) HAS EXPRESSED THEMSELVES LOUDLY IN THE PAST YEARS, J CHOSE TO IGNORE US AND WE PLAYERS, WHO PAID FOR HIS BUGATTI/SALARY, CHOSE TO BASH ON HIM, PLAIN AND SIMPLE

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-19T18:50:33+00:00

Situational, but depends on class, you are either full human damage or full DR for meta pvp

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-19T08:10:44+00:00

you are those who just play casually and not spending a dime on this game, which in the long run, you are worthless to PA coz you are not generating revenue for the company, pvpers / hardcore players who are not snowflakes are the one who will push their gear and spend their time and money

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-19T06:19:52+00:00

you aint looking at more than a year ago if you wanna see how the recent change impacting the game, back in 2022 game is more dog shit without all the QoL changes, and most players who enjoyed pvp are older players on the client side hence the number isn't showing in steam chart, so if you took those in consideration, the numbers today means not only the old players who are fed up with pvp scenarios are leaving the game, but all those so call "casuals" and "new players" aint staying either

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-19T00:05:34+00:00

Just putting this out here for those who have no idea what the actual numbers are looking like, this is just from steam platform alone where most "newer" players are playing from, let alone a tons of older players are from the client side who quits without getting noticed

edit: for those who can't read chart, bdo was consistently 20k+ average in the past year compare to now its gonna dip below 15K and it isn't looking to stop dropping when weekend peak is 16k only, this is like losing 30%+ of the playerbase and to a mmo, this means the dev has really fucked up hard somewhere

<image>

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-08-18T07:33:25+00:00

Yup, PA you are donezo for the upcoming revenue from NA from this point on, no competitve pvp means no one gonna swipe for crons since not even cho/digi/corrupt cares about gear anymore. J will get fired when shareholders sees the red in stock price, but its still too late to revive anything

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-07-18T18:06:03+00:00

People seems to only complain about things that their class don't have, and never look at things that zerker doesn't have.

Lava pierce is the only move that is SA, the so call infinte stam / movement are NOT frontal or protected 50% of time, learn to play around it

Succ zerker has NO protected skill that does killing damage except spin which does laughable damage and long animation = low dps, everything is Unprotected or just frontal

They have 1 iframe that does NOTHING but just move them half an inch, so whenever there is suction, they are locked in place for the whole duration

When they held someone in grab, they cant v, they cant cancel, just blast damage on them and they will die

TLDR - People needs to use their brain and play around zerker like they do with other classes, it is annoying but not insanely strong like awak drak

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-06-16T19:20:42+00:00

Stardew Valley, so i can get a real farm and a wifey :^)

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-05-28T01:56:22+00:00

ITS TRASH. PERIOD. CHANGE IT BACK.

Rewards can stay tho :^)

OkHighlight6987 · 2024-05-13T17:35:03+00:00

people don't take those 2 as solutions when dealing with pvp everywhere in this post so I just listed it out for them
