My blood pressure went up listening to this

[SwordKingsTV]

So you guys haven't listened to any feedback at all and are just throwing darts at the wall with a blindfold got it.

[Endxa]

After giving constant feedback on the state of PVP, all you had prepared was a 3 min segment on a 30 min video on how you need two more months for a subpar nodewar change? While introducing more vertical progression? To use for what?

[Roxas]

all i heard was buy more cron we dont care about what the players want

[Ryuki_NA]

Sorry for making sovereign weapons a cron grind guys... also, here is a new cron grind! Enjoy!

[NotEfficient]

2:16 - New Node War changes, Seige winner can change NW rules for that territory.(Choose old NW or new NW)
11:37 - New Accessory "Karazad", follow gear enhancement not accessories (no break or degrade with Crons), 10 level of enhancement, can convert Deboreka to Karazad. TET Deboreka = PEN Karazad. PEN Deboreka = NOV Karazad.
16:00 - Karazad unlock new crystals slots, 1 for each. BSR, DR, EVA, AP, ACCU, Maybe more later on. Does not shatter on death.
18:12 - Crystallized Despair can be exchange for fail stacks
20:44 - New Monster Zones in Land of The Morning Light, Golden Pig Cave and Dokkebie Forest.
22:14 - Still working on the Hardcore servers.
22:25 - Dosa Awakening

To make this exactly clear: Nobody will be happy as long as new progression is determined solely by Cron Stones. Nobody will be happy as long as veterans with stockpiles of hundreds of outfits can complete new items day one. The new players get gear diffed even harder, and the veterans go right back to having nothing to do. You had such an easy solution in front of you for Sovereign weapons; just don't make the enhancement stones marketable. Time-gates aren't great either, but they're better than what you did. And now your solution to the deboreka grind is to just add another item to dump cron stones into and further increase the gear difference between veterans and new players? You've completely backed yourselves into a corner by making the central pillar of your monetization whales swiping for outfits to cron upgrade attempts. There is no path out without drastic change. The influence that cron stones have over the game needs to be scaled back dramatically.

I love the guys in here pointing out crons can be bought from the blacksmith in every comment from people asking for alternative ways to get crons if they are brining in another cron yes you can buy crons at 3mil each take a pen debo attempt thats 11, 600 crons per average silver of 1.2bil per hour that means its 29 hours of grinding for 1 attempt.... we 100% need an alternative way to get crons if they want to bring in cron sinks

[AWildRori]

saying SOV weapons have helped the player base, when they have actually hindered the player base is insane.

[NanoTechYR]

What we hear about devs: "we are listening the players base"

What is happening in reality: "we are listening our wallets are getting empty"

[orgetmenot]

They said the thing! They apologized again!

[korndog]

who in their right mind is saying enhancing sov is easy to dec ?

[ignitium]

PLEASE ADD MORE RELIABLE CRON SOURCE BESIDE PIT OF UNDYING!!!! ty :)

[darkvision]

For the love of God, please remove crons and rethink your monetization strategy. Nobody wants that anymore! Just focus on selling cosmetics and adopt a subscription model like WoW or FF14. The grind for crons is something that everyone hates, literally nobody wants it.

[illustramantic]

We need a new system for improving gear. Many players are quitting due to the grind for crons in Sovereign and Deboreka, especially since that gear isn’t usable in 99% of the game. Uncapped PvP is dead. Please consider making crons easier to grind or removing them altogether.

[maeshg]

About the monster zones in morning light, I think it's more about, the fact that there's no reason to be in the area after everything is done without one, which lower quite a bit the value of having one of the manor in the area, as there is also no other reason to stay (apart from a few repeatable in nampo and dalbeol)

[rvo]

A new game released and is taking away players. Lets do a dev commentary, addressing recent issues with.. you guessed it MORE cronnable gear. Swipe swipe my lovely players.
Then the standard oh new class flavor and here's 2 more circle grind zones. Oh oh and reminder we are ever slowly working on new content.
Enjoy BDO players.

[Vyiaa]

Players wanted different paths, different end game build and you give them one more thing to spend tons of crons. If using crons gonna be the only way of progress make them in game obtainable like caphras stones. Buff accuracy set till they can compete using debos. Bring Black Distortion set where we sacrifice DP for extra AP like the earring.

[Tsukiiyo]

They need to take a look at the older classes, many of them feel slow since that number of hits/DR and EVA rework patch. Also there are classes that have been weak for years and they refuse to improve them. I guarantee there will be 10 patches in a row of Dosa awakening buffs after he releases. Which is fine but the rest of the classes need to be looked at also. It’s crazy that we have 50 something class specs and PA only wants us to play 3 of them.

[kuraix]

PA listing to their player base in Narnia cause ent no way...
