And yet, without never being able to balance their more than 20 classes for the most basic grind with mobs with no AI, they decided it would be a clever idea to make an entire region about solo boss fights, something they had already failed to achieve with Pit of the Undying and which has always been one of the weakest parts of the game ...
The more it goes, the more I feel like that BDO has become a testing ground for their other struggling projects first and foremost.
I really don't understand why classes have to wither and rot at the bottom tiers for years. The picture below shows the bottom-tier classes at Hexe. If we're nerfing Meagu by just a flat amount, why can't PA just give these classes a flat buff of +3% or +5%?
*snorts* there too busy listening to KR only, listen to NA about 2% of them time. this is kinda how some classes got nerfed so hard they couldnt do anything but stand there with a scowl. BUT the moment KR thinks PA went too far they boycott, next thing you know buffs roll out a week later or a patch gets reversed.

Unable to process the Korean thought process if this is the result. We're talking literal YEARS that these classes have been basically dead. All the development time that went into creating them is wasted.

To be a bit fairer to them, Morning Light is a much bigger attempt at making it work. We don't know if they will do balance passes or leave it to rot.
Returning player here and yikes, poor Kuno. I started over since it's been like 3+ years and I think I lost my account in the xfer of owners, but I use to love PVE'ing kuno. After experiencing the new Season PVE only servers (great job PA), I can tell that by the end of this Season I'll be shoving the Kuno to "lifeskill mode" or parking her at a boss. Just, wow. They got beat up over the years eh? Ah well, always another fotm class to pick up at the start of the next Season...appreciate the list, it will help narrow down the choice! XD
I'm Awakening Kuno + Shai tag. I can tell you unless we're talking about completely low end spots I like pollies I rather grind on my Shai than on my Kuno. Grinding imps on Shai the mobs die during the first two attacks of one-two-three. On my Kuno I have to use the entirety of my awakening skills to kill a pack. Shai might not have the aoe to hit the entire pack all together but it's still quite a bit faster and around 10% of the button presses. Sure Shai isn't top tier anymore there's lots of classes which perform better now but at least Shai PvE is still acceptable. The recent PvE buffs on awakening Kuno were more of a meme.
Don't really grind spots which require aoes. Imps is the best example I can do.
+1 on this. Been a kuno since day 1 of her release and I cannot grind on her. I feel forced to tag, so I tag shai or woosa. The difference swapping to pve, in trash and clear speed, is really night and day. I can grind on woosa with 281 ap and make more than my fully geared kuno. Its one thing if its just the apm, but it's to a point where even awak tamers grind better than me. I really don't understand the thought process of bringing pvp into a pve buff. Just make us average, pa, please (˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )
They need to realize that it's also profitable to give these neglected classes a new leash on life. It doesn't HAVE to be a new class to be the FOTM.
