From what is on the KR videos, Gyfin will be Solo Oluns, with non of the good rewards.  It's going to be a 390/401 DP area and even at 401 DP it's scary, the guy had to i-frame all damage because if a hit landed it was 50% of his health to a 1 hit.

Checked, in fact, within a month the Pearl Abyss changed "vision" for this area again. So again next doa content.

If you want to play in a group then do the group content that the game revolves around, node wars and siege.

If you want challenging group pve with interesting mechanics then it's time to find a new game. 

Do I ask for advice? As it seems you comment in the wrong thread. I play or better to say stay in BDO for the view. As why I will need better gear or higher levels in a solo game with easy mobs? So BDO is cool to waste some time, to walk around, but to play is simply pointless.

This thread is full of replies showing you the group content this game offers players, you don't seem interested in that group content.

"As why I will need better gear or higher levels in a solo game with easy mobs"

pvp that's why, and that has been the case since release you just refuse to see it for some reason, this game was never a traditional themepark mmo it's doubtful that will ever change as they likely put most they're dev time towards crimson desert.

Do you see something in the acronym "mmo" about a party game or coop? NO.

Its: massively multiplayer online. Evolve or die. No one wants a party anymore.

The greatest stupidity is wasting time until enough intelligent people gather to complete the dungeon.

And for this very reason no one wants to do dungeons either.

What are you talking about. The MMOs that are way more popular then BDO, like GW2, ESO, FFXIV, and yes even WoW still. Hosts massive amounts of group and raid content. For both PvP and PvE, so I'll have to strongly disagree with you. Only the fringe of a niche playerbase refuse to group up in MMOs.

Compared to the popular MMOs that have insane amounts of PVP and PvE group content. BDO is not doing good. Now compared to other Gotcha games, BDO is doing decent. BDO isn't even in the top 10 over in it's home country. https://www.gamemeca.com/popup/ranking.php?scode=O

Only a fringe of players enjoy being isolated in a MMO. More so in a MMO that has wildly unbalanced Forced Openworld PvP. People who normally want to play support characters, will 99%  quit this game in less then 60 days. People who normally refused to be META-slaves, will also 99% quit this game in less then 60 days. People who normally enjoy playing with friends, will also 99% quit this game in less then 60 days. That alienates a huge portion of the playerbase of a already niche genre.

Whales each spending more than 75,000$ each. To dominate the F2P gamers who can't afford to play other MMOs. And the game having a overwhelming amount of AFK activities. Are the only things that keep this game somewhat populated.

There is not real PvP in BDO, as it is instanced or it simply does not affect the game. I can completely ignore the PvP in the game. And often I do it. I can completely ignore the other players, and often I do it. The idea that I shall spend thousands of hours in boring grind to be competitive in pointless competition without consequences is obvious idiocy. Honestly I do not understand the people who complain about PvP in BDO. What PvP? If someone beats you, you lose nothing, he loses nothing too, and you win nothing, also he. There are some scenarios when PvP could affect the game, for example if you transport goods, but you can easy avoid that by using low level alt characters, and in general this is very rare, as attacker wins nothing. And most players obviously do not care about the other players in the game. PvP in BDO is a joke.

BDO has always been the best single player MMO out there, and, hopefully, will always be. Already with the introduction of the 2 group dungeons, this has caused a minor (bad) shift in the game mechanics.

If you want raids, go play wow.

Best singleplayer MMO is literally idiocy. And the most absurd thing is, you do not joke, you talk seriously. Now this is not about broken game, it is about broken people. I do not want raids, I want MMO. And MMO cannot be singleplayer. I can ignore the other people in BDO, as anyway most of them are lost. Still sometimes BDO makes me sad with all that wasted content, ideas, and imagination. When you see the sunset over the sea, with the waves flashing the sand, and clouds chased by the wind, so beautiful, and so pointless. Then I leave, as sometimes it is easier to waste the time with ugly things. Wasted beauty hurts. BDO is a terrible game in amazing virtual world. It is a crime what they did with the world they created. And lost souls like you make me even sadder.

Oh shut up about your P2W lies, people are not buying a brand new sports car to get an "advantage" in a video game, there might be 1 or 2, but there are not people that do it constantly to the degree you claim.

MMO cannot be singleplayer. 

BDO = 95% players playing solo, party content is dead

ESO = 95% content is solo

New World = 95% content is solo.

I feel sad for you, you want BDO to be like many other MMO's.  BDO is almost unique in it's style of play.  That is what makes it so good.

There are many aspects of BDO that require other players and where the term MMO fits in.  Market place, world bosses, many grind areas, are just a few of these reasons BDO is a MMO.  But the large majority of the game you play at your own pace, not requiring anyone to assist to progress, this is the best part of BDO.
