because artifical caps (gear, territories and player numbers if done wrong) are really bad for the game and gear diversity itself, not to mention terrain differences and wholesome experience and immersion.

how do you make glass cannon or real dp build on any capped content? how do you balance various classses with different goals on same stats via removng different gear options? how do you justify big hp pool differences between some classes? why would you every feel motivated to progress or actively play the game if u wanna play the game for nodewars/siege alone IF your whole progress is basically not needed from the second u reach T3 caps?

why bother to play for T4 caps ever if it only opens such a small fraction of experience to you? god knows rest of content in thsi game is super mediocre if not downright bad (pve is atrocious, lifeskills are one button + semi afk activites mostly, various other stuff is just fluff and niche content... 

why bother for a milifraction better nw shop at the end of the winning fight? in the shit areas nontheless (subjective opinion on regions, ofc)

Number caps sure, gear caps, on 4 out of 6 nodes is just dumb, 

You say you are taking feedback from the community, really ? 

The New Adventurer who has put many minutes, if not hours, into the game, doesn't like the complexity of gear builds.

HP Pool - someone forgot to cap that stat!

PA has recognized that veterans with maxed out weight, storage and gear, have to use very little to no money to enjoy the game.

More focus, if not *all of the focus*, has to be put on the New Adventurers because without inventory space/weight and fairies, the game is outright unplayable.

All hail to the New Adventurer!

@PA - fk those changes, dont know why you would kill the only content thats left in the game next to running circles for ridiculous rng gains. EU isnt Korea and ain't NA at all. If people there struggle it's not our fault. If people there have no skill in pvp or pvp mentality at all, make changes for them, but do not include us with even worse imbalancing in some classes. Your handholding feels like getting thrown in a class with mentally disabled children even tho you're perfectly fine.

Feedback from Alliance VPN:

As reacion to the upcoming changes, we held today an emergency meeting in our alliance.

Maybe we dont't have much impact because we're a smaller Alliance, but we also enjoy the PvP-content more in the state right now then what PA intend to do. We worked very hard on Skill, Organisation, Gear etc. to maybe at a day in the future close up with the big Guilds/Alliances.  The new caps destroy anykind of motivation to build better gear over the T3 cap. The simple Reason is, you can't feel your progress. On T3 it will feel always the same and on T4 we get simply clapped because we're not ready.

Our Alliance VPN (VAIHAIIA, Polarwolf and Harfner) will freeze all Nodewars until this changes are deleted.

Damokleez is totally right especially on the part where the entire scene was preparing for the changes and everyone who actually did prepare gets punished on the process. All those changes are a spit on the face to those who put labour and effort to set up their gear and their guild on par with current changes, especially people that have been supporting the game for a very long time, both financially and in streaming platforms.

Also to all those who live under the illusion that those changes will benefit their new guilds, check how the new guilds manage to cope against guilds with years of experience ahead of em and think twice on how this is gonna play out. 

Last and certainly not least, putting capped content on everything shows lack of ability in terms of how the content should play out, limiting the sandbox feature of the game, thus taking away one of bdo's major points of success compared to its competition.

Just because you managed to separate me from my love BlueHorse it doesn't mean you won the battle.

I will train my body and my mind and become more bald than you will ever be!

By whom? JK. I am here to give some input. In particular about the selection of Node War days. Friday is traditionally the worst day in terms of Node War attendance in EU, and it always has been. Whereas Monday has always been one of the better ones. The list goes something like this: Tuesday = Thursday > Sunday > Monday > Wednesday > Friday

If anyone of importance reads this thread, please consider making Friday the day-off in EU, instead of Monday. It's going to be a major turn-off for a lot of guilds having to force their members to attend on a Friday night.

Edit:

I still think it's a long-shot to expect someone from PA to read this but incase they do: Is EU/NA meant to get the same adaptation that was recently announced for KR ?

Well it's kinda simple , they just have to look at their statistics and see what days have the most attendance .

But for real , why not have it everyday , why does it have to be 1 day off , i can't see the purpose in that .

Also if you lose on friday , you basically can lose everything and can't participate in siege . Who at PA hq thought this was a good idea?

Exactly. I hope they do.
