This post is not meant to be a troll but to try and save the BDO Console community. With a current lack of content the only thing we have left is player vs player and grinding for caphras. With the release of the new class Sage we didn’t think it was possible to make a class that does more aoe damage then a Succ Caster, better iframes then a Sorc, better invisibility then a Ninja/Kuno, and the range of an Archer. The skill cap for this class is so incredibly low that the balance of extremely high gear score players who’s skill before averaged out against players with less gear but a higher skill cap is essentially non existent. Nodewars have now become you either roll sage or succ caster or you don’t have fun. You get completely one shot with full pen armor and c5 caphras from someone who you can’t even see. It has completely ruined the competitive nodewar scene to the point people are leaving the game in droves. I don’t want that to happen. In the player run BDO Leadership discord you can easily see how unhappy the competitive players are and how a lot will not play the game until things change.

Please consider doing something with the classes iFrame by either shortening the length, increasing the cool down in between iFrame, increasing the time between being able to use their iFrame or something along those lines. Even if you considered not making them invisible during the iFrame that would work. The very slight mist you can sometimes currently see is essentially invisible during a Nodewar. I’ve played BDO since launch on PC and even on Korean servers so I have personally seen how new classes can be overpowered but the only things we have been told are buffs to stamina for the iFrame and no balance in sight since you guys have stated you don’t want to nerf classes anymore but buff the others around them. 

Please don’t compare us to PC at the moment if they aren’t struggling as much as we are because they have higher DP, Evasion, Dr due to higher caphras levels then us that balance the class out. We saw how long it took for you guys to balance out gear to be able to have competition outside of awakening casters dominate run due to the low ap required to out damage classes by far margins. Please don’t let this be a year before you fix this because it’s safe to say there will not be a competitive pvp scene left on BDO Console by then.

I truly love this game and as I said before this isn’t meant to be a troll but to hopefully make you guys see what the competitive community is saying.

Sincerely,

Nappy aka Duck King
