Hmm how do i start,i will tell what i like and i don't like in BnS :
Things that i like : 1- The combat ,the game play,the dungeons,the players that really enjoy the game and try their best to learn when something is wrong in dungeons .
2-We have many options to farm our materials for upgrade and not having only 1 routine each day which that will be boring ,yet will be nice if they can add more ways to farm materials ,why reason bellow .
Things that i don't like : 3- First of all ,pay2win items,trove,rng boxes ( ok trove can be done once per year ,not 4 like now ,same thing for RNG boxes could be once per year-game need money as well ,nothing in world is free )
4-The difficulty in game is to EASY ,dungeons, raids everything . Our current gear is to much over the content we have in game right now ,things being to easy get me bored,i like to struggle ,to enjoy the game, not to go somewhere pew pew pew and done = 0 satisfaction.
5- I hate that we have to play on ALTS to gear up our MAIN,they should allow max 3 char per account (don't come with comments ,i like to play multiple classes because i will not believe that) .
Now i explain all the points from above :
1- WHY ? well the game is super nice and cool, nice combat style ,free to move , you have to do certain mechanic to achive something ,not only walk on map and that's all . As players ,yes there are some people that enjoy the game and willing to learn and not just go in dungeon ,fails once and rage quit . Not long time ago i went to CC normal dungeon with 5 more players ,0 mechanic practice ,only from videos, well nobody quit and everyone was willing to learn ,so we spent 2h there and we learn to do mechanic and swaping roles between us until we find the best way and in the end with ended up to do 2 phases nice and clear ,and we did 8 runs in 2h .So there are still players that want to learn and not crying about game is hard .
2-Yes there are plenty , my usually if i need materials ,i go farming bg,pvp,ssp for soulstone,msp,moon refuge so there are plenty of place to farm . ( continue at point 5 )
3-to much often trove/rng boxes ruin this game pretty fast ,i can admit im let's say 50-60% one of these that pay2win as well ,why ? because im competitive person and i feel forced to do it just to stay in line with the gear ,but i hate this ,i don't like to do it but i'm doing and i hate my self for this .Even tho if there wasn't any trove/rng/p2w items i will be happy to farm my brain in game to be able to stay in line with latest upgrade in term of gear because I'm COMPETITIVE person .
4-well here yes i get bored sometimes because the content in game is to easy , to much pew pew pew and done, 0 satisfaction .I'm not talking abour easy/normal mode because i hate them , i wish will be only HARD MODE in game . I rather play something hard to achive so i get satisfaction and pleasure doing it , and not some pew pew pew dungeons for what ? materials to upgrade my gear but 0 satisfaction ,0 pleasure ? WHAT ARE GAMES FOR ? the satisfaction to gear up or satisfaction playing it ?
5- yes ,i hate i have to play on alts to gear up my main ( even tho i said im 50-60 p2w , in term of oils,pet pack i always used my alts for it ).I'm wasting so much time on alts to make dc,weeklies bla bla and when is time to play on MAIN to go higher dungeons,hard content im already tired and no will to play anymore and again we go in the point where the pleasure of playing the game is GONE ,so how i see this is like " our main is the BOSS who hire slaves (me) to play on alts to pay him ).And here i also want to say that i already deleted 3 of my alts and i will delete 2 more in the next 2 weeks and i will keep only my FM main , wl and des as alt .( the classes that i like to play)
About this last patch , yes i hate few things about it , few bugs there and there , gold reward lowered,more p2w sh1t items , i can understand all ur frustration but look the good side of this patch .
If you look from different angle you can see the good part of it : like easy dungeons have hard mode mechanic to prepare you for real hard mode ,people cry about is to hard bla bla , me as a mmorpg player if will start a game and find something difficulty i just ask around , i look for clan/guild to join,to make friends, i go google/youtube and search about that difficulty ,or maybe is me doing this , many others players they not even comunicate in dungeons when you ask them if they know mechanic so at least i can explain them , they are just muted but here in forum crying to death .
Me personal like i said above ,i will love this game have only HARD MODE . When i join the game 3 years ago ,i was always looking for 4-man mode and back in time there were so many parties 4-man / hard mode ,why ? because the game didn't had so many free options in that time . Now by the time pass game get easier and easier and ofcourse players want even more easier and easier .
What pleasure do you have doing everything solo instead to look for parties ,doing with others ,maybe find friends ?? Is not boring for you doing stuff solo ? Idk how you guys thing how a game should be but from what i see from this rage ,you have 0 rights in my opinion .Find/Join a clan , make friends, stop crying because you can't do solo content in game ,is not this for what a game is meant for.
And for new players ,yes they barelly can survive in this moment in game .
The only change that i wish i would have in this game is the begginer mode( no reward chest, only quest done for DC ) so new players can do solo dungeons ,and if they really enjoy the game they should move up for normal and hard mode after .
Ncsoft did some bad things but the rage that is everywhere is exagerated .
This is my own opinion about this game . /So good luck there and have fun ,enjoy the game before is to late .
Don't judge me to hard ,i enjoy my game in my own way :)
