Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, I have returned yet again, to indulge in the serene art of 'Posting'. Today I will be talking about why I feel Black Desert Online should consider the removal of monster zone ap caps, so without further ado, lets get into it. Also there won't be much to read in comparison to my previous post as I opted for a more fun, eloquent and engaging approach in my writing this time. I hope u guys like it: **(TLDR will be at the bottom)**

'Banishing Monster Zone Caps Forever Never to be Seen Again'

The imposition of monster zone ap caps in BDO would be an egregious affront to the essence of the game's immersive and expansive world. Such a restriction would undermine the very fabric of the player's journey, stifling their ability to explore and conquer the vast landscapes that lie before them. In a realm where freedom and limitless possibilities reign supreme, the notion of capping the power of adventurers is anathema to the spirit of adventure that Black Desert Online embodies.

Removing the shackles of monster zone ap caps allows players to fully embrace the opulence and grandeur of the game. It is within these untamed lands that warriors can hone their skills, vanquish formidable foes, and ascend to the pinnacle of their power. By abolishing these caps, the game's creators have bestowed upon players the privilege of forging their own destinies, unencumbered by arbitrary limitations. This freedom to roam and conquer is the very essence of luxury, enabling players to revel in the opulent splendor of Black Desert Online's vast and diverse world.

Furthermore, the absence of such caps fosters a sense of healthy competition among players. In this realm of boundless potential, adventurers are encouraged to push the boundaries of their attack power, constantly striving to surpass their previous achievements. By allowing players to unleash their full potential, the game cultivates an environment where the pursuit of excellence is not only celebrated but also rewarded. This unbridled pursuit of greatness is a hallmark of luxury, as it elevates the gaming experience to new heights, ensuring that only the most skilled and dedicated warriors rise to the top of the Black Desert Online hierarchy.

**And that concludes today's topic y'all, as always thank u for ur time and if u made it here I salute u. Again, sorry for using a different tone then what I usually go for but I think its a refreshing change of pace imo to the way most posts are constructed on the forum, and leans into a more eccentric 'MMO themed' style of writing.**

TLDR;

Why Should Monster Zone Caps be removed?

-More freedom & diversity

-Encourages competition

-Promotes character progression 

Happy New Years Eve Everyone, wishing u all the best in the new year

All AP caps should be banished.  There is no reason to punish someone for how powerful they may be.  If a high AP player wants to grind in a low level place, that's their choice.  They are doing what they want.  They're getting less expensive loot and gear for their time, but that is their choice.  In PvP, if someone is strong, they should be so, and challengers should either be stonger or outplay them to beat them.  It's reality.  No one needs a crutch, as they hinder true growth.  True growth comes from work and effort.  It is purely detrimental to everything if work is punished, or if pursuit of excellence is made to be a meaningless goal.

Totally agree, we should be able to use a 100% of our attack power, keeping us unable to reach our full potential is really detrimental like u said and also a head-scratcher. I think we can all agree the game would be a lot funner if everything was uncapped (pve and pvp).

This would be the fastest way to kill PvP for the players who are thousands of hours away from being able to compete in uncapped PvP. I doubt those PvPers will stay for long after BDO changes to exclusively uncapped PvP in all modes. But who am I to stop you from helping kill off the last of your game's PvP scene? By all means, carry on!

It will be a nice thing if it's removed
Its nice to flex what is the point of having big stats if you get a cap 

Who will you have to PvP with if all the low geared players up and leave? And that is the issue with your point of view. You only think about ME ME ME ME I WANT TO DOMINATE LOW GEAR PLAYERS AND FLEX ON THEM. But you people forget, trying 75% of the playerbase into your fodder will not end well for you. BnS, Archeage, and others that went down that path can be proof of that.

For PvP to be even somewhat populated in BDO. There has to be some PvP venus for players who has grinded for 2000+ hours or got RNG carried to gear. Or else you will suffer the Archeage curse.

Yea nah you have never played Archeage you would know the real reason it died , before 3.5 update , it was the most p2w game an even makes current bdo look like nothing. On top the false promises they made of making a server without p2w which sure it started off that way but landed up being people farming the same thing over an over again an then merged with normal servers to be p2w all over again.

2nd major issue the enhancement system makes bdo look like easy mode. Afaik BnS went down the same road.

3rd if pvp was the main issue in mmos explain Tera being shutdown because the developers couldnt keep it up, that had basically zero pvp.

I wont even talk about there horrendous patching which lead to weeks of down time thats without all the other fundamental issues for archeage

Are you guys talking about the amount of AP and Monster damage that is required to do damage to monsters in certain zones?

The amount of AP yes, not necessarily monster damage as AP translates into that; i.e the more total AP u have the more monster damage u do, the issue is that after passing a certain amount of AP in a specific zone the game "nerfs" u and u are effectively doing less damage than u should be if u were unrestricted. Think of it as kind of a limiter, or trying to run at full speed but ur wearing ankle weights therefore slowing u down and preventing u from reaching ur maximum potential.

Cheers, hope that clears things up for u 

exactly

 i wouldnt say so, regardless, if anything they can just implement capped and uncapped servers

again doubt they will just leave, its not like a bunch of high gs players will seek to rain hell on low gs players cause their uncapped now and plague low ap grind spots, most high gs people are pretty chill, and won't effect the game negatively

 yessss agreed pls tell him the facts my man
