You don't understand how powerful target immunity is. Not to mention insane flash step damage

Loving the update

Winning a match is more important. No one ques to lose

Saying game is dead certainly won't help any potential new players try it out. Blade and Soul has one of the simplest mechanics out of many games I've played, they're not complicated at all. If there's no actual incentive to complete mechanics no one would bother doing them. "Boss heals" is not a real incentive. Deep Wound exists. Imagine if there were 30 dungeons "worth" doing. I doubt an average player would have time for them day-to-day, meaning they would lose possible rewards as time goes by. As content gets outdated, it's very logical for it to be reduced in rewards. So people don't have to do the same dungeon that's already extremely boring from playing it for 2 years. At-level-solo dungeons are most well balanced content this game has to offer. I would really like to know what you consider "complicated" in them. Figuring out difference between cats in Outlaw Island? Predicting where the laser beam will turn in Circle of Sundering? M'ao attack patterns? If you spend an hour in them you'll know it all by heart the next day. Overpowered new classes are a thing in every MMO on the planet. That's how they get people to play it. The only exception so far has been Soul Fighter. Regardless of your class, if you put some time into it you can get a decent rank in arena. It seems like putting time into their class is something people in this game hate doing. If a player has endgame gear but is in bronze ranking, there's only 2 possibilities 1 - the player sucks so bad not even endgame gear can carry him 2 - early in the season/season reset when all rankings are reset so naturally some higher ranks end up playing lowbie games On top of that, arena is the single best way to get moonstone crystals, and soulstones if you want to sell them. And getting gold rank in 1v1 is really not hard. I'm not saying the game doesn't have problems, but what you listed doesn't even classify as such. And game isn't dead or dying. It's a widespread meme that people are being led to believe because they're discontent with some factors of the game, and they want to force others to believe it. Yet all of those people still play regularly.

Is there any chance for Shackled Isles to be a permanent addition? Like, Heroes Arena (or whatever it was called, the 1v1 arena where you could play as Hong, Jinsoyun, Poharan and Yunsang) has been gone for a year now and hasn't come back since. It's really a shame that new PvP content is time-limited...

It can be used on any character not-level-60. No expiration date. As for quests, who knows

Are there new Lyn hairstyles too or just ears and tails?

It was a reward for having a 1-year subscribtion 2 years ago. I don't think it will be available again, at least none of those kind of specials ever were

Stream has been confirmed for few days now...

It directly says anything related to new pink badges won't be able to be exchanged and fused

Chances? - very high When? - probably not soon

As far as I know they're getting nerfed in the iframe/cc resist area while getting increased healings in return

For Jonathan I could care less, but Bethany? Good riddance. I've been through a lot of games and she has been hands down the least communicative "community manager" I've seen, only showing up in livestreams every 2 months, with limited vocabulary "this is awesome, this is cute". Take this as constructive criticism and not personal attack because man there's lots of room for improvement for you. Lots.

It's likely just the orange story quests leading up to the raid, with actual raid coming april 10th.

It hasn't appeared again since
