This patch was not best , and lots of ppl dont like it.
Beside archer, this patch is rly bad, it has lots of nerfs and other things....
MY opinion for dungeons is that u should change all dungeons to have easy mode and hard mode:
1) Easy mode for players that dont want to waste time, and want to rush in dungeons and just pure dps...
2) Hard mode for players that like challenge and want to do mech....
Hard mode dungeons in my opinion should not be just pure dps check, and if u fail do to XX milion of dmg per second< u fail...
Of course u should need some dmg, but if u do mech as it is intended , u get chunk of boss health, and there should not be enrage timer.
So pls no enrage timer, becouse if your team of ppl has skill to do all mech, and it is all going good, there should not be enrage timer.
Rewards for easy dungeon and hard dungeon should also be diferent...But there is noo need to go like crazy diferent rewards...
Just put in something like this as example:
Merchant of wonders v1 hard mode: He is 100% spawn when u clear dungeon in hard mode.
HE sells:
1) 5 pack moonstone ( account bound version so no bots or farmers can abuse hard mode ) -----for some reasonable price nc can decide
2) 5 pack elysian ( account bound version so no bots or farmers can abuse hard mode ) -----for some reasonable price nc can decide
3) 5 pack soulsotone crystal ( account bound version so no bots or farmers can abuse hard mode ) -----for some reasonable price nc can decide
4) 5 pack sacred crystal ( account bound version so no bots or farmers can abuse hard mode ) -----for some reasonable price nc can decide
6) 1 or 2 gem powders -----for some reasonable price nc can decide
This example of merchand is good, becouse u are rewarded with account bound mats, and u dont get it for free u need to buy it.
This would boost other ppl morale, and it would bring game new life, becouse there are not much good spots to farm materials.
Also f8 would be more populated place as many players would love to farm materials.Lot of ppl would be encouraged to learn mech and do it on hard mode.
Blade and Soul is all about dungeons, and nowadays dungeons has become job ppl must do, no one is probably happy when doing them...
I would like to see dungeons become great again, not just graveyard in f8....
If u want more ppl to play this game, u need to give them good amount of challenge and reward....
Not just stupid 3 or 4 hard mode dungeons in wittch u need xx mill dps per second...
Bring back dungeons with callenge and rewards, so ppl can again enjoy game....
I have 1000 0000 more words to type, and more ideas how to inprove this game, becouse i like this game rly much...
If u dont do something about where this game is going, im afraid this ship is going to sunk, and lots of ppl will not wait to see that.
