FPS... It has alwayss being a problem isn't it?

I can honestly & surely say that 90% of BDO players can't see the beauty the game has to offer just because of FPS problems & overly created partical effects on skills.

I played Lost Ark for 300 hours on it's highest graphic settings, I had +144FPS. That's insane! (I took 1 month break from BDO cause of all pen fails, Played BDO for 3 years)

Then when i came back to BDO & saw BDO graphics.....i was like," OKAYYYY! thats a big difference"

Lost Ark is popular because of it's Raids!
Guardian Raids

Abyss Raids
Legion Commander Raids

Abyssel Dungeons 
Which can be done EVERYDAY & is very hightly rewarding. ofc there is also a grindy system like BDO and it's called "Chaos Dungeons" but that's it.

Other fun part about LA is that it has very good story lines & can be smoothly played in Highest graphic possible.

ofc LA is very heavely Pay to win, 5 times more p2w then BDO.

Then when i came back home (BDO), I started to heavely check why BDO is FPS starve & FPS = more Damage. 

It's cause of game assets, Re-new game assets & be more cleaver about it. 

More animated 3D game assets = More FPS needed. 
There is a cheat system which makes 2d object to look like 3D object cause of the colors & the way it's designed.

Can't BDO just remove/stop few animations of assets?

lost of grass effects are also very unnatural. 

Even if there is no wind, Grasses still move. 
Reduce anmations of in-game assets. 

Drakania PVE nerf was absolutly not needed & Her stamina comsumtion is huge! If PA programmers wanted drakania to not be too fast then reduce the distance traveled of few skills instead of making her use lots of stamina. She has no grab & has very less iframes. All is just SA & FG. Damage nerf in PVP was very understandable cause she was just dealing very high damage but other nerfs was absolutly not needed. Because of stamina nerfs, she will surely be nearly unplayable in PVP cause since she has very less iframe & mobility skills taking lots of stamina. She will easily get grabed & be killed. Block is just trash in BDO now cause FG is just useless now a days. any class can wipe FG with just 1 skill. Drakania is also not a fast paced class & she animation speed are almost exactly same as awak DK on 120FPS.

FPS in bdo ain't bad cause the graphic load, but cause the incompetent devs just threw everything into the main render loop, even stuff totally irrelevant to graphic, hence your (single thread) CPU performance end up bootlenecking the max FPS that you can have.

Also that alone wouldn't even be that big of an issue, if the abilities would not deepend on your fps. But it does, hence having high fps do give advantage.

+She is Witch, RANGED dps!

You can't compare Ranged class to melee class. 
Having to stand right next to enemy & get grabbed vs Having range ablities with teleport & big damage is totally different!. 

the class isn't even out yet, the little preview we saw is ridiculously broken, the biggest damage burst that ever existed in the game, and you are already crying not to nerf her? hahahah.

we've seen plenty of times that grab and iframes are NOT needed in this game to be a top tier PvP class. all it needs is damage and some movement burst, and you simply oneshot everything.

Listen, Either you are a kid (10 - 18 years old) or just have very small point of view. 

Everything in the world is repeated! I don't get why you are so upset about art design. Let me remind you of something. 

Shapes! everything & everyskill you see are designed by such ideas. When you start designing lots of items, you will come till the point where you will hit the wall, that's when you will go back into your past and re-design new items by mixing the ideas you used in past. 

Ofcourse you will see lots of skill animations nearly similer or mixed match with other classes. Corsair has few skills that matches with warriors skills & valk skills and so on...

Number 1234 can be: 1432, 1324, 1243, 1342, 2143, 2314, 2143, 2341 and so on but 1234 is not 1432 or 2131 even tho it's the same digits.

That's how ideas work, If you start to keep poking on things to find the similarities between skill, object & things; you will find the unending similarities re-uesed & re-created again & again in it's infinite loop. 

Doesn't matter if that idea is used in games or in real life. 

Ofc, don't forget that lots of classes in BDO are also similer to other MMO classes, When people run out of ideas then there comes a term used as "inspiration"

please re-read the post again!

dracania seems to have larger aoe than witch tho.
