This is the saddest attempt yet I've seen for them to try to retain players when something else is releasing. Oh boy can't wait to enhance new gear that I waited over a year for because "reasons".
This isn't even content, this is just more stuff for them to use to squeeze the money from the player base. 90% of the updates every week are just "hey heres some generic free shit event" or extra rewards for stuff you already are doing anyway.
Even when they release actual content like Mediah, Valencia, Kamasylvia, Drieghan, Sycraia, and Stars End most of the time it's so poorly balanced that the content isn't even relevant until way later.
I don't understand how manos, new horse gear, etc can be delayed for a year or more, it's not even content. Unbelievably sick of the lack of real updates and arbitrarily withholding updates. It would be one thing if they delayed an actual expansion because it needed more work or time to localize but it's not.
Sorry for the rant but I just had to get this off my chest. So over this developer and publisher.

im confused on how sycraia and stars end are "poorly balanced and not relevant"

I didn't say they were. I listed every "expansion" but the overwhelming majority of those were poorly balanced at release. Valencia had one good grind spot when it came out. They totally reworked Valencia because it sucked. Just an example. It was phrased as what I considered content vs not content. Manos isn't content, Valencia was.

I totally agree and I'm surprised you aren't downvoted to oblivion already. AFK fishing events and memes about failstacking are popular, actual content isn't.

Kinda expected to be but yeah if you sort by controversial it's at the top so there's a decent amount of people who disagree.

Stock up on black magic crystals bois before the price sky rockets.

Too late you had to do it before today.... I have 1000 and still wont be enough I bet.

they sold out as soon as people saw the sea notes

Considering the current best thing I know in BDO is Chopping trees, this makes me quite happy.

Part of mastery is a nerf to caphras drop rate from sap or logging.

Yes, and?
1
Are we gonna lose the progress (artisan 10 gatering for example) or did I get something wrong?
2
you don't lose progress, the higher your lifeskills are right now the more of a bonus you get if you use manos tools. manos tools give mastery and theres a ton of different levels of mastery with increasing benefits the higher your mastery. your lifeskill level contributes to mastery

Aaand all BMCs are gone.

Gone and pre ordered. They will be back up to 2.5M in a few weeks. Guess centaurs might be decent money again

Should've bought them ages ago. :(

bullshit reply so they could push it down the road to combat vanilla wow release pretty much
Nothing they can do to stop players from leaving for classic wow at this point. They'd have to remove the p2w and add real pve content, all at the same time. Basically when pigs fly.
I don't think they are really worried about classis WoW. They are pretty different game.
what "type" a game is matters surprisingly little now a days when it comes to this. That and both games are mmo's and wow has a massive nostalgia pull not to mention band wagoners from streamer culture will want to play what the cool kids are playing.
BDO like every game is going to see a noticeable chunk out of their player base for a while.
They should be lol
I already know like 40% of the people in my guild that is gonna be on hiatus for classic WoW lol

they postpone it so you can forget the combat balances. Do you see now? No one is talking about it since May or June after they launched EU/NA Feedback
It is actually surprising how people forget so quickly, you just have to log into the game and do one node war to see the game is in need of further balance changes.

i think players don't forget about combat balance, just lose in faith. Since we got rushed event (Soul Secret Quest), I and my guildies believe the balanced will be rushed too. It'll become shittier and they will correct it again next year with same mistakes. We have 4 faces on the developments of BDO (Jae-sang Joo, Jae-hee Kim, Jae-suk Jang and Do-sung Go), I or We don't know who gave decisions to fucked it up so bad. I believe they have good income since we had someone post Pearl Abyss gave a good salary which means money isn't a problem for them to make a serious step (cheap steps = mobile games strategic business model).
Why I think it's going to be rushed too? Because they started asking player in May which means they have no intention to correct or make evaluation from last year Balanced Classes. My hope in this year will be a game who good enough can defeat combat styles and lifeskills BDO at the same time, so this game can see how shit their decisions that they were made in the past 2-3 years.
3rd time they claimed they were going to balance the classes
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Only yesterday did i point out on here the reality was we probably wont get mastery till next year, because KR hasnt had any updates, and even if they did, and if we did at the same time, i'd expect them to see how it all unfolds, before simply saying its fixed and so heres mastery.
No proper explanation/announcement (like this one) saying it'd been pulled, when KR had obviously given the green light to include it in a big Q2 content announcement, it just got canned and now its coming back with nothing so far explaining whats changed.
Ive not checked KRs incoming patchnotes so maybe it mentions changes there, but whats the point of the global lab server if its not to implement and test things before sticking them straight into a live service, when you've already had to cancel its release almost 2yrs after it started being rolled out on KR, and probably more than 1y after they made any meaningful changes to it.
Nothing mentioned for KR this week:

am korean, can confirm there were no major updates, can confirm north american bdo devs are full of shit
Technically we have no devs, just puppets that regurgitate whatever PA in Korea tells them. I get your point though.
There are no na devs.
They probably are unhappy, but do they care enough to actually make changes needed? :) Pearl Abyss has this history of "caring" for balance as well, and look how much they have tried to balance the classes out.

oh yeah, you are right

Where is the source for ‘devs arent happy with creent system’?
[deleted]
Then don't make claims that look like you pulled them out of a hat
[removed]
We still don't know if we get the current KR life skill update or a reworked version. Keep in mind trade mastery is still not published in KR/global lab. This is why is think there is still more to come.
Stupidly enough; there's still time for changes, we could see a bunch of them implemented into LAB's update tomorrow, then being rolled into KR next week, followed by us in 2 weeks.
Not with Great Ocean update still pending on lab
Oh mind you I dont belive this will be the case, just saying it's possible.
