Seems like a good idea to me as long as your gear gets to keep the enhancement levels when the season ends. Even if established players use it as a enhancement factory, it won’t matter really considering they already have billions of silver. In fact it might even serve to drive high enhancement level gear prices down if the market is flooded with them. But it will obviously help the new players a ton by giving them quick access to tet or higher gear.
@@BenzenBaws that way it's not something you can abuse for money. It allows new players to catch up by giving them what they need, a character to grind with and a character that can defend itself against older players. At the same time it gives older players more content in the form of new challengers/people to fight with in PvP both in Node Wars and also in Open World PvP. Also even old players might wanna experience a new character that they don't have already geared up and don't wanna invest their time and resources in at such an extent, so they can also use this. By binding the items to a character it would make it so their progress on the older characters is still meaningful because it's not like people can just get their items from the Growth server and swap them to other characters whenever they want(they would still need to grind for the rest of the items on the rest of the characters). Also it would not hit the economy by flooding the MP with a bunch of items except for the chases where people that main Musa for ex create a new Musa on the Growth server and sell their old Musa items while keeping the character bound ones on the new character that they created. So in a way you could say that new players get a necessity filled while old players get a commodity. Everyone gets something out of it and everyone should be happy.
I find that this would be a great way of doing it. and maybe have a new npc that can buy this "growth" items, in case u don't want to have that gear. and this npc has it's own price range on this items.
@@BenzenBaws Because if it was character bound it would be balanced and make sense and also encourage you to focus all your efforts on that 1 character.

nah honestly there is nothing wrong with the progression system in this game. the only issue i see is them pushing p2w more and more. the difficulty of progressing makes it possible to almost never stop improving your gear, which is great. people just like to complain about that, cause it obviously favours people that spend alot of time over ones that only play casual.
I have a couple very specific questions: is 1 month away from playing on said account, eligible for use of the Olivia channels?... furthermore, can Olivia channels only be used more than once per account?
I feel like this could be dangerous. Because its weird to attempt to make it easier to enhance and so on without breaking it. Plus like he said it would feel wasted if we spent all that time enhancing and working our asses off just to lose an enhancement or something when swapping back to live servers. Its risky but it could work as if its a trial character and the gear could be used LIKE boss gear and enchanted to PEN like boss gear with the same AP/DP set up, add ons, etc. But no ability to sell/trade it on market or in merchants. Its hard to tell how would be best to do that type of thing but im excited to try it out as someone who has a bunch of TRI and TETs already. It could be fun.
There are so many other easier ways to make it better for newer players or players in general. They could easily make enhancing less rng based, accessories no longer break or downgrade with crons, armor doesnt downgrade without crons, a resource that guarantees a success. Plenty of no brainers that could still get them paid
I think the problem is more about gear progression. This game doesn't have a smooth progression when it comes to gear. new players come in and pretty much hit a wall after the first month or two. after that their gear goals become so out of reach and take a lot of time to get to. The gear system overall is filled with redundancies which can be confusing for new payers. the whole thing needs to be revamped in my opinion. That being said i think that the season thing could be fun and i'd like to see how it eventually turns out.
you can make the gear made on the new season, when switched to an old one, the gear you made price is greatly reduce. example if you make a PEN the price of the item will be worth 100 sliver and cannot be placed on the market.
So they said there will be special "season items". Maybe give all the items a certain value when they are being brought over and instead of getting the items on the normal servers you get that "value" as silver. That way they can control the value of what is being transfered.
Just started playing a week ago and I'm almost 57. So I've been playing quite a bit. My main problem so far is that I can't go out and PvP because 90% of the people who attack me kill me nearly instantly. I really believe PvP would be better if the damage was capped, and was more skill based, and two classes with the same abilities did the same amount of damage regardless of gear.
That wouldnt be rewarding for ppl Who spend tons of time/Money for there chars, just because u Played a week u didnt spent a lot of Time, Play Half a year and u will At least sit also on tet eq, and then u will know why this is crap.
If Pearl didn't have TRASH RNG to Enchant Gear, There would be NO NEED for these servers in the first place!!! Its Self Harm. Pearl just did it to themselves! Not a single player that makes gear can deny this comment!
Honestly they should just drop the AP and DP brackets if they're looking the make the game more competitive then from there change how all the internal numbers with evasion, dr, accuracy etc scale. There would likely need to be some other tweaks that stem from this change but how high these numbers scale or do not scale is what most people complain about. So either make the pen easy or remove the scaling and adjust accordingly. Neither solution will make old players happy, and honestly it's too late to make any real meaningful changes to fix these problems without huge backlash. The bottom line is they fucked up early on and rather than reverting the changes they just kept going, the early initial release was really good and awakening was a good idea but it marked the moment they applied too much scaling; enhanced accessories was also another point. Bottom line is it's all just too late, this is just the game we have at this point unless they want to be wildly drastic and rework it entirely.
Yes and no. I like where I am however players who started within the last 2 years who arnt will like this. So it will divide the game. All the liberals and vegans can go over there :)
How does this allow any new player to catch up? Once season is over those characters are merged into the existing servers with the people all PENned out so they are still behind. I don't get it.
Depending on how long the server stays up and how hard they make it to enhance and upgrade your gear sets.. they might not be behind, but be joining those PENed out people leaving behind those who DIDNT join the growth event
Family lock any equipment made on the Seasons... I would love to have at least one high-level item... but the billions needed for it makes me realize I should just forget about it ever becoming a thing. Since I can't get access to high level gear - I am unwilling to do PvP... Getting some family-locked gear that gives me a foot-hold in endgame would be nice.
Whats the point? If u make a new toon on growth server then that server ends ans toon is transferred to a normal and the items or enhancements r removed whats the point of it all? Like what?
So the big issues and why this will probly fail 1 older player would use it flood the market at the end of each season rotation. 2 if the items are account bound it sell be used to just power up there existing characters via min max what not tested allready 3 if it character bound older players won't use it and it well only be used for new player to player that are tired of how Grundy the game is and just what to get 1 character to the point of being able do do shit 4 ( what well most likely happen ) big ass paywall to move the equipment over it would end up being there sneaky way to put a big pay now to skip the grind button they want into the game If they really wanted to help new player well keeping the old player happy make the game an expression of skill vs one of gear. The big issue is the strongest class also tend to have a low skill cap( comparatively) tamer one of the hardest class to master( at least when I was still trying to learn her) was probly the hardest class to play but was only ok for endgame pvp we're as dk at the time was Easter to learn and was overall stronger. As of right now I'm trying to master lyan but it's almost not worth it because she's harder to play then mystic has less survivability and dose pretty much the same amount of dmg I had a easier time def grind spots with my 57 mystic then my lv60 lyan because she's way easier to play is tankyer has about the same amount of cc.
I think they should rework the Combat System. Maybe cut damage done to 1/4 outright, then shrink the Gear gap and have us fight instead of getting 3 hit from some mofo that comes from behind. If it would take 12 or 15 hits, the initial Damage could be taken and still would leave room for a return. I remember the old Times with Warhammer Online when we really had to focus players to cut them down. Also, PVE would be more interesting if you had to fight the Monster instead of 1 hitting them xD Well, I stepped out of Town 8 Month to a Year ago, so what do I know... Fuck this Games PVE/PVP ^^
ive gotten into bd mobile and want to try the original version but so far i have been overwhelmed by everything and demotivated by everyone being light years ahead of me so i just really played 1 day and then quit as i just found it not worth playing since i dont have the time to dedicate to catch up - if thats even possible. so i wonder if this is a better way for me to get in to the game (bd mobile is great but heavily pay 2 win soo..)
I just started on PS4 a week and a half ago. I already got to level 56. Would I prefer to have started on an equal footing server? Yeah. I haven't had many problems with being a victim with PvP though. I got 1 shotted randomly twice. One time I think I messed up someone's grind. I didn't know that was a problem. Obviously I'm in no position to duel for a spot, so I just move on. PS4 servers are not nearly as packed as PC though. The game runs terrible on it in some places.
Wouldn't be bad because players who want to come back or start just cant because theres so much that you just dont feel like playing, I dont mind the grind or anything but this game gets extremely time consuming
My only question is about pearl shop items. I might come back to pc if the pearl shop is disabled or very limited on these servers ... my guess is this is a way to revitalize the pearl shop and player spending.
lMeRCiLeSSl still have to realize that some people don’t have a lot of time during the day where as some folks work 3 hours or 5 hours. So spending money balances that out
@@ItsBonz I can't believe you're making this argument. Yes, what you're mentioning is a solution to player divide, but it's the wrong one. It only benefits the company, and not both the company and the consumer. This is the primary reason that BDO isn't the number 1 MMORPG on the market today. The proper solution is to have a system where the most devoted players feel rewarded for being there like being rank 14 in WoW Classic. It gives you an advantage, but nothing that can't be overcome. People that making it to rank 10 in WoW are just as competitive without the massive time investment/exploitation. Another example is how Aion had the siege generals in the abyss. Players that ranked the highest in PvP could morph into essential gods and be a massive boon for their army. This only works for massive scale PvP however. I think trying to throw money at problems is the most disingenuous way to solve a problem that can be fixed with a little extra thought. Stop defending this type of business practice. BDO would be a much better game if PA decided to solve their game problems with game mechanics, and not consumer expense.
Alain Sauve I never said don’t have the F2P/people that can constantly play almost 10 hours a day not feel rewarded. But people that don’t have that type of time compensate with money and even then they still have to spend an absurd amount of money. I can totally get behind this seasonal idea but it’s all perspective based. You also must have interpreted it wrong because it’s through text. But I’ll elaborate I do feel as if people who enjoy the game can spend money to support the game but definitely should be limited which is what they do for selling pearl items also to keep in mind I’m on console. I don’t know if they limit that to pc. But regardless people that actually have to work every day aside from playing 10-12 hours a day can’t keep up with those so called people who pvp to make it to top 10
@@ItsBonz Yes in the current system people who play 12 or more hours a day are untouchable especially with the added financial advantage. What I'm saying is that people who play maybe 4 hours a day should be able to compete with those try hards without having to fork over thousands of dollars. The game system should allow there to be a competitive playing field, but fairness is not in the best interest of the person watching the dollar signs come in. BDO just has no ceiling. There's always more. More time, more money. Of course there's no fair playing field, there's no rules. I don't have a problem with this being an all out playground with no rules, but it affects people's lives and earnings. Don't fool yourself into thinking that the only people that spend thousands of dollars on this game are those making 6+ figures a year. Some of these people are losing their families, homes, and jobs to support their addiction for a company that feeds on them. It sickens me. Making any excuse to justify this decision from the company to not allow fair play, and to create a scenario where you have to give up real life achievements to be "the best" is absurd. Games and RL need to separated.
So.. the ywill do "private server" as catch up server. The whole idea is wrong. Seasons don't have to be "fast": That is new starting point for everyone. The main goal is not catch up to "old server". They/we want to PLAY THE GAME without years of disadvantages. Play the game in competitive mode. Progression speed is irrelevant. Just start normal server in separated server and in separated market! If we want "fast progressioN" we can chosa any private server. +cash shop and business modell: if we will get same p2w where is the point? Nem players will buy power directly in shop (aka "convenience items and services") and source of power will be your wallet and not your time and/or skills. New p2w server with accelerated progression is pointless...
So as an existing player what would be the point to even doing this? It sounds like it will help newer players catch up but for someone that has it all I don’t see why you should do this
More active players +competitive game. You don't have to play 10k hours first to be 1056th in the toplist. All players will start in same 0 point. If you will be bette that is your "win". (except if we will get p2w new server). Most of players will not play same game for years. 3-6-12 months/season than character transfer to "non ladder realm" can keep more players. +new server is not "have to chose it" server. You can chose your server. If you love your old characters you can go back to play in old server after some active weeks or months.
So exactly what the point of this I’m missing ? Wouldn’t it be tougher making tet from scratch from limited time more resource and time then live server how is there profit
Aww man that really good I really wished they started it when I started a month ago :( this one musa stayed at olvia bridge for the longest and kept killing me
as a former bdo this seem like a fun idea, I hope the content get reseted also so you can enjoy it as it was, ofc they can do like new content every 30 days or something like that, atm playing archeage unchained and its fun dont get me wrong but bdo combat is the best I have seen so far.
These so called seasos already happening in a game that I play. Lineage 2 Private server. It opens for 2 months, u grind PvP, PvE, Olympiad. Than server closes, another one with fresh start opens.
Pearl Abyss will mess it up. They don't know how to execute. PvP is skill based and they're too lazy to fix that problem instead attempting to create new ones. PvP is gear based (coughs) gear ($$$$) based and not competitive. The PvP system is a slot machine in it's self along with just about everything else. No competition just pure luck.
One thing I am sure that PA doesn't care about the experienced players at all. They couldn't even bring the balance to PVP. So you think they care about us? Fuck that shit.
All wrong ... the all problem in BDO is that game miss end game pvp content and modes and gear is more than skill. Thats all problem. If they add PVP content and modes and make eq less important that would fix whole problem. Making much easier get eq for new players and making skill to play more important.
there are litterally billions of nodes to war for and sieges to play in, theres 0 pve content like dungeons rraids etcetc its only open world grind. pvp needs to have more rewards 0 reasons to add more pvp content
iMDiamondCrafter yes rewards for pvp are useless but trust me. Nodes become boring asf after short time. Sieges are absolutely no world for players playing less than 1-2 years.
Dude new players can catch up really fast to old players for atlast TET, but you impaly they need to catch upp fast to the PEN USERS with CAPHRAS? I have new players in my guild that are 1 MOUTH with no knoging of anything, curredly they are enchanthing for TET items/They are full tri with acceesiosi and capotios or full armors/wep tri and duo accesiority(evry free one you can get RIGHT NOW). The problem comes from KAKAO not giving the informations what they can do and how fast they can grow from the quesit and no guide. They trying to make the game like "hey heres pen start fight others that invest 1-2 years for pens".
That’s an opinion. I don’t play this game hardcore but even I can see that the twitch viewership is the same, the servers are the same. I’m sure a few people quit but the game isn’t dying. Learn this now because it’ll save you from further embarrassment when you make claims like this. A game never dies until content just stops coming. If the devs say “we’re done. No more patches” then it dies. Until then it’ll just go through waves of players. Idk though, you have an anime avi, I don’t expect you to use your brain
@@ArchangelHornet Another "someone has a negative opinion about bdo therefore he doesn't play the game person". Generalizing ppl much? Fyi i'm still playing but this pos of an mmo is beyond dead, period.
This is such bullshit I've never heard before.... Just splitting the playerbase.... All go to the new servers because it is easier to enhance equipment....
This is stupid. New players leave cause they realize bdo has no content, veterans stay cause they invested to much $$$. I have 600 GS and i still get oneshotted time to time. Its not a easy game and gear alone wont safe you if you have bad positioning or dont know wtf your doing. I worked hard for my gear, if newbies will get it 50% easier i want 50% of my money back. Instead of adding stupid shit content time after time (omfg am so sick of these trash PA developers) they schould add some real content so ppl WANT to invest there time instead of giving it for free just to realize there is nothing to actually use it for. This is the most content'less mmo on the market.
no content thing is partially correct, but people quit not because of that but insane power gap and p2w making catching up seem an impossible task. I understand your elitism that's just i guess who you are but don't expect the mass majority to play along with you
@@objectivetruth2126 Well, when you talk about "the gap" i guess you mean softcap right? Softcap is not that hard to reach ... yes you need to work for it, but its more then doable. But thats the beauty of this game, there are no expansions so all the gear you get, even when you take a break, will always stay as powerfull.
"Softcap"? what does that word even mean at this point, 253or240 with kutum/297? even achieving that the process is not exactly "soft". And that's just pathetic, such player is not much more than grass beetles to you, unless it's some joke match up like witch vs mystic something like that. if it means what most people preach on forum, 269ap and caphra the shit out of your armor, then no it's no where near "very achievable", especially when a new player don't spend at least $500 to clear all the basic paywalls, add values packs on top of that. As I said, people are not that stupid, the dev has vested interest to spead bs, you have vested interest to do the same, sensible people not as heavily invested as you are also know what's in there best interest
@@objectivetruth2126 softcap is 560 total gs, used to be 540, achieveable in 6 to 12 months with only one hour grind a day, with grinding,fishing and farming i make 2bil each week. I know you cant make that money when you just start, but softcap is really not that hard. And i dont think that ppl that just start deserve to be as strong as ppl that play the game for mouch much lomger. Anyway, thats almost a tet armor or weapon piece each week. And like i said, in most mmos you need to start from scratch every expansion, in bdo thats not the case, thats the "beauty" of it. I can take a 6 months break, come back, and still be as strong as i left. If i do that in any other mmo i would have to start again..What this game is missing is CONTENT, not easier ways to get gear. No content is what keeps ppl away.

Miss your videos man! Hope all is well.
Just started playing a week ago and I'm almost 57. So I've been playing quite a bit. My main problem so far is that I can't go out and PvP because 90% of the people who attack me kill me nearly instantly. I really believe PvP would be better if the damage was capped, and was more skill based, and two classes with the same abilities did the same amount of damage regardless of gear.
That wouldnt be rewarding for ppl Who spend tons of time/Money for there chars, just because u Played a week u didnt spent a lot of Time, Play Half a year and u will At least sit also on tet eq, and then u will know why this is crap.
Best update they ever did! But i hope it not become like everybody same class which work best
If Pearl didn't have TRASH RNG to Enchant Gear, There would be NO NEED for these servers in the first place!!! Its Self Harm. Pearl just did it to themselves! Not a single player that makes gear can deny this comment!
Honestly they should just drop the AP and DP brackets if they're looking the make the game more competitive then from there change how all the internal numbers with evasion, dr, accuracy etc scale. There would likely need to be some other tweaks that stem from this change but how high these numbers scale or do not scale is what most people complain about. So either make the pen easy or remove the scaling and adjust accordingly. Neither solution will make old players happy, and honestly it's too late to make any real meaningful changes to fix these problems without huge backlash. The bottom line is they fucked up early on and rather than reverting the changes they just kept going, the early initial release was really good and awakening was a good idea but it marked the moment they applied too much scaling; enhanced accessories was also another point. Bottom line is it's all just too late, this is just the game we have at this point unless they want to be wildly drastic and rework it entirely.
Is this a good game for casual mmo players? I want to play this game but because of work I can only play about 3 to 5 hrs a day May be 3 days a week.
happy new year! and PA will destroy the econ once again
My friends play this game but I'm over it. I doubt this will be enough to bring me back.
Long ass fucking time man I missed you
This is scary this could kill the core game
Yes and no. I like where I am however players who started within the last 2 years who arnt will like this. So it will divide the game. All the liberals and vegans can go over there :)
Hopefully, I fucken hate this game now it's so boring
How does this allow any new player to catch up? Once season is over those characters are merged into the existing servers with the people all PENned out so they are still behind. I don't get it.
Depending on how long the server stays up and how hard they make it to enhance and upgrade your gear sets.. they might not be behind, but be joining those PENed out people leaving behind those who DIDNT join the growth event
You're back 😊
Family lock any equipment made on the Seasons...
I would love to have at least one high-level item... but the billions needed for it makes me realize I should just forget about it ever becoming a thing.
Since I can't get access to high level gear - I am unwilling to do PvP...
Getting some family-locked gear that gives me a foot-hold in endgame would be nice.
Is this for PC only?
Are they still working on the climbing system?
I've been waiting.... I really hope so. There's so much that needs to be climbed ^.^
Do u have to buy all the shit or do pets transfer over?
what about the pets and other IG pearlshop items? can they be used in the new server??
Will I need to rebuy things like pets because I’m not sure if I can spend that kind of money for tier 3s every new “season” ;- ;
Probably not. I would imagine that pets, tent, maids, and any other account wide purchases will be usable. But we'll have to wait and see.
Will the cash shop be disabled in this mode? Garbage if not
Whats the point? If u make a new toon on growth server then that server ends ans toon is transferred to a normal and the items or enhancements r removed whats the point of it all? Like what?
Welcome back?!
can you share a link to the site you're reading this on please?
Korean bdo webpage
when will this come ?
Is this out yet?
maybe pearl abyss learning all about problem at black desert mobile too. bdm are hyping now.
Rosepel Redian one can only hope they are learning from all of this and are genuinely trying to improve.
Bdm is so bad
So the big issues and why this will probly fail
1 older player would use it flood the market at the end of each season rotation.
2 if the items are account bound it sell be used to just power up there existing characters via min max what not tested allready
3 if it character bound older players won't use it and it well only be used for new player to player that are tired of how Grundy the game is and just what to get 1 character to the point of being able do do shit
4 ( what well most likely happen ) big ass paywall to move the equipment over it would end up being there sneaky way to put a big pay now to skip the grind button they want into the game
If they really wanted to help new player well keeping the old player happy make the game an expression of skill vs one of gear. The big issue is the strongest class also tend to have a low skill cap( comparatively) tamer one of the hardest class to master( at least when I was still trying to learn her) was probly the hardest class to play but was only ok for endgame pvp we're as dk at the time was Easter to learn and was overall stronger. As of right now I'm trying to master lyan but it's almost not worth it because she's harder to play then mystic has less survivability and dose pretty much the same amount of dmg I had a easier time def grind spots with my 57 mystic then my lv60 lyan because she's way easier to play is tankyer has about the same amount of cc.
This is some good shit
I think they should rework the Combat System. Maybe cut damage done to 1/4 outright, then shrink the Gear gap and have us fight instead of getting 3 hit from some mofo that comes from behind. If it would take 12 or 15 hits, the initial Damage could be taken and still would leave room for a return. I remember the old Times with Warhammer Online when we really had to focus players to cut them down. Also, PVE would be more interesting if you had to fight the Monster instead of 1 hitting them xD
Well, I stepped out of Town 8 Month to a Year ago, so what do I know... Fuck this Games PVE/PVP ^^
ive gotten into bd mobile and want to try the original version but so far i have been overwhelmed by everything and demotivated by everyone being light years ahead of me so i just really played 1 day and then quit as i just found it not worth playing since i dont have the time to dedicate to catch up - if thats even possible. so i wonder if this is a better way for me to get in to the game (bd mobile is great but heavily pay 2 win soo..)
I just started on PS4 a week and a half ago. I already got to level 56. Would I prefer to have started on an equal footing server? Yeah. I haven't had many problems with being a victim with PvP though. I got 1 shotted randomly twice. One time I think I messed up someone's grind. I didn't know that was a problem. Obviously I'm in no position to duel for a spot, so I just move on. PS4 servers are not nearly as packed as PC though. The game runs terrible on it in some places.
the difference is that pc players have had a lot longer to get ahead of new players
Wouldn't be bad because players who want to come back or start just cant because theres so much that you just dont feel like playing, I dont mind the grind or anything but this game gets extremely time consuming
My only question is about pearl shop items. I might come back to pc if the pearl shop is disabled or very limited on these servers ... my guess is this is a way to revitalize the pearl shop and player spending.
lMeRCiLeSSl still have to realize that some people don’t have a lot of time during the day where as some folks work 3 hours or 5 hours. So spending money balances that out
@@ItsBonz I can't believe you're making this argument. Yes, what you're mentioning is a solution to player divide, but it's the wrong one. It only benefits the company, and not both the company and the consumer. This is the primary reason that BDO isn't the number 1 MMORPG on the market today.
The proper solution is to have a system where the most devoted players feel rewarded for being there like being rank 14 in WoW Classic. It gives you an advantage, but nothing that can't be overcome. People that making it to rank 10 in WoW are just as competitive without the massive time investment/exploitation.
Another example is how Aion had the siege generals in the abyss. Players that ranked the highest in PvP could morph into essential gods and be a massive boon for their army. This only works for massive scale PvP however.
I think trying to throw money at problems is the most disingenuous way to solve a problem that can be fixed with a little extra thought. Stop defending this type of business practice. BDO would be a much better game if PA decided to solve their game problems with game mechanics, and not consumer expense.
Alain Sauve I never said don’t have the F2P/people that can constantly play almost 10 hours a day not feel rewarded. But people that don’t have that type of time compensate with money and even then they still have to spend an absurd amount of money. I can totally get behind this seasonal idea but it’s all perspective based. You also must have interpreted it wrong because it’s through text. But I’ll elaborate I do feel as if people who enjoy the game can spend money to support the game but definitely should be limited which is what they do for selling pearl items also to keep in mind I’m on console. I don’t know if they limit that to pc. But regardless people that actually have to work every day aside from playing 10-12 hours a day can’t keep up with those so called people who pvp to make it to top 10
Alain Sauve but to each their own. You have your opinion I have mine.
@@ItsBonz Yes in the current system people who play 12 or more hours a day are untouchable especially with the added financial advantage. What I'm saying is that people who play maybe 4 hours a day should be able to compete with those try hards without having to fork over thousands of dollars. The game system should allow there to be a competitive playing field, but fairness is not in the best interest of the person watching the dollar signs come in.
BDO just has no ceiling. There's always more. More time, more money. Of course there's no fair playing field, there's no rules. I don't have a problem with this being an all out playground with no rules, but it affects people's lives and earnings. Don't fool yourself into thinking that the only people that spend thousands of dollars on this game are those making 6+ figures a year. Some of these people are losing their families, homes, and jobs to support their addiction for a company that feeds on them. It sickens me.
Making any excuse to justify this decision from the company to not allow fair play, and to create a scenario where you have to give up real life achievements to be "the best" is absurd. Games and RL need to separated.
I would still be playing if. Workers worked. Til. Hungry without being online. Constantly
So.. the ywill do "private server" as catch up server. The whole idea is wrong. Seasons don't have to be "fast": That is new starting point for everyone. The main goal is not catch up to "old server". They/we want to PLAY THE GAME without years of disadvantages. Play the game in competitive mode. Progression speed is irrelevant. Just start normal server in separated server and in separated market! If we want "fast progressioN" we can chosa any private server. +cash shop and business modell: if we will get same p2w where is the point? Nem players will buy power directly in shop (aka "convenience items and services") and source of power will be your wallet and not your time and/or skills. New p2w server with accelerated progression is pointless...
So as an existing player what would be the point to even doing this? It sounds like it will help newer players catch up but for someone that has it all I don’t see why you should do this
More active players +competitive game. You don't have to play 10k hours first to be 1056th in the toplist. All players will start in same 0 point. If you will be bette that is your "win". (except if we will get p2w new server). Most of players will not play same game for years. 3-6-12 months/season than character transfer to "non ladder realm" can keep more players. +new server is not "have to chose it" server. You can chose your server. If you love your old characters you can go back to play in old server after some active weeks or months.
welcome back!! again lol
So exactly what the point of this I’m missing ? Wouldn’t it be tougher making tet from scratch from limited time more resource and time then live server how is there profit
Aww man that really good I really wished they started it when I started a month ago :( this one musa stayed at olvia bridge for the longest and kept killing me
Welcome back maybe?
as a former bdo this seem like a fun idea, I hope the content get reseted also so you can enjoy it as it was, ofc they can do like new content every 30 days or something like that, atm playing archeage unchained and its fun dont get me wrong but bdo combat is the best I have seen so far.
I don't trust it at all. It always revolves around the cash shop in the end.
can't expect much from a "F2P" game systems imo, look at how they treat the normal shop, already self-explained a lot XD
hey ur back
Bdx has been out a year and we are already talking about "
So only for people who grind? RIP lifeskillers
Jerry Gao lifeskilling already too good compared to grinding doe
These so called seasos already happening in a game that I play. Lineage 2 Private server. It opens for 2 months, u grind PvP, PvE, Olympiad. Than server closes, another one with fresh start opens.
Pearl Abyss will mess it up. They don't know how to execute. PvP is skill based and they're too lazy to fix that problem instead attempting to create new ones.
PvP is gear based (coughs) gear ($$$$) based and not competitive. The PvP system is a slot machine in it's self along with just about everything else. No competition just pure luck.
One thing I am sure that PA doesn't care about the experienced players at all. They couldn't even bring the balance to PVP. So you think they care about us? Fuck that shit.
I've been playing for 1month in sea server and i already got two boss tet. i think im on a good start.
All wrong ... the all problem in BDO is that game miss end game pvp content and modes and gear is more than skill. Thats all problem. If they add PVP content and modes and make eq less important that would fix whole problem. Making much easier get eq for new players and making skill to play more important.
there are litterally billions of nodes to war for and sieges to play in, theres 0 pve content like dungeons rraids etcetc its only open world grind. pvp needs to have more rewards 0 reasons to add more pvp content
iMDiamondCrafter yes rewards for pvp are useless but trust me. Nodes become boring asf after short time. Sieges are absolutely no world for players playing less than 1-2 years.
iMDiamondCrafter and yes. Dungeons like in Dragon Nest would be nice. Withh mechanics.
Dude new players can catch up really fast to old players for atlast TET, but you impaly they need to catch upp fast to the PEN USERS with CAPHRAS? I have new players in my guild that are 1 MOUTH with no knoging of anything, curredly they are enchanthing for TET items/They are full tri with acceesiosi and capotios or full armors/wep tri and duo accesiority(evry free one you can get RIGHT NOW). The problem comes from KAKAO not giving the informations what they can do and how fast they can grow from the quesit and no guide. They trying to make the game like "hey heres pen start fight others that invest 1-2 years for pens".
i see alot of archers on this seasons server lol.
Game is ruined beyond repair but this really is the final nail in the coffin to kill an already dying husk.
That’s an opinion. I don’t play this game hardcore but even I can see that the twitch viewership is the same, the servers are the same. I’m sure a few people quit but the game isn’t dying. Learn this now because it’ll save you from further embarrassment when you make claims like this. A game never dies until content just stops coming. If the devs say “we’re done. No more patches” then it dies. Until then it’ll just go through waves of players. Idk though, you have an anime avi, I don’t expect you to use your brain
Another "i dont play the game, therefore the game is dead" person 🤣😂
@@ArchangelHornet Another "someone has a negative opinion about bdo therefore he doesn't play the game person". Generalizing ppl much? Fyi i'm still playing but this pos of an mmo is beyond dead, period.
This is such bullshit I've never heard before....
Just splitting the playerbase.... All go to the new servers because it is easier to enhance equipment....
Why do you people care so much about catching up?
This is stupid. New players leave cause they realize bdo has no content, veterans stay cause they invested to much $$$. I have 600 GS and i still get oneshotted time to time. Its not a easy game and gear alone wont safe you if you have bad positioning or dont know wtf your doing. I worked hard for my gear, if newbies will get it 50% easier i want 50% of my money back. Instead of adding stupid shit content time after time (omfg am so sick of these trash PA developers) they schould add some real content so ppl WANT to invest there time instead of giving it for free just to realize there is nothing to actually use it for. This is the most content'less mmo on the market.
no content thing is partially correct, but people quit not because of that but insane power gap and p2w making catching up seem an impossible task. I understand your elitism that's just i guess who you are but don't expect the mass majority to play along with you
@@objectivetruth2126 Well, when you talk about "the gap" i guess you mean softcap right? Softcap is not that hard to reach ... yes you need to work for it, but its more then doable. But thats the beauty of this game, there are no expansions so all the gear you get, even when you take a break, will always stay as powerfull.
"Softcap"? what does that word even mean at this point, 253or240 with kutum/297? even achieving that the process is not exactly "soft". And that's just pathetic, such player is not much more than grass beetles to you, unless it's some joke match up like witch vs mystic something like that. if it means what most people preach on forum, 269ap and caphra the shit out of your armor, then no it's no where near "very achievable", especially when a new player don't spend at least $500 to clear all the basic paywalls, add values packs on top of that. As I said, people are not that stupid, the dev has vested interest to spead bs, you have vested interest to do the same, sensible people not as heavily invested as you are also know what's in there best interest
@@ViktoryaWeiss lol. All depends on the class nog playing. Archers,rangers, dk's will all die very fast, even with 600GS.
@@objectivetruth2126 softcap is 560 total gs, used to be 540, achieveable in 6 to 12 months with only one hour grind a day, with grinding,fishing and farming i make 2bil each week. I know you cant make that money when you just start, but softcap is really not that hard. And i dont think that ppl that just start deserve to be as strong as ppl that play the game for mouch much lomger. Anyway, thats almost a tet armor or weapon piece each week. And like i said, in most mmos you need to start from scratch every expansion, in bdo thats not the case, thats the "beauty" of it. I can take a 6 months break, come back, and still be as strong as i left. If i do that in any other mmo i would have to start again..What this game is missing is CONTENT, not easier ways to get gear. No content is what keeps ppl away.
Welcome back
