Feels like we have to pay the bad design of Elvia Calpheon again.
First we had the first Vell upgrade.
200 despairs.
Then we got a another.
100 despairs.
Total 300 crystallized despairs.

And now, we have to farm 300 crystallized despairs AGAIN. And there is a problem now, because PA decided to use this item again, the only two good spots of Elvia Calpheon are going to be crowded, Quint & Hexe. They are the best spots to do it fast and in quantity.

I just made few hours at Rhutum, I got 2 despairs. Nice. I'll try other spots. But it doesn't change the fact that ELVIA CALPHEON IS COMPLETLY BAD AND TOTALY UNBALANCED.

You promised us a super good spot, that'll give money and that'll also have some mechanic for ranged class, melee, magic etc  and since a year now we have nothing. You didn't put all the spot in Elvia, on few and you're like "We did a good job".

Stop lying to yourself ffs. It's bad. The whole Elvia is bad beside Orc, Quint & Hexe. When will you start to open your eyes and react ??
You want us to farm, then make it nice to farm.

Like, 90% of all Elvia spot give like 300M per hours. I go centaur and I do more. Even Polly gives more. You have to buff the amound of token you get there.

Then about Elvia Calpheon, please add the weapons. You made a buff you only get during the rift boss, and it's a 5 minutes buff for 30 minutes CD. Seriously.. Are you stupid ?
Just put the weapon for Elvia Serendia, it'll be a good QoL.

Why do we have to think for you ? Move your ass about your game.

Why even bother, DP is useless  you will be 1 shot anyway. Also if they say you need to grind old stuff for new item means no new content. empty new zone which you won't even visit.

"The recipe to craft the flame is:

• Embers of the Rising Sun x300
• Embers of the Rising Moon x300
• Embers of the Rising Earth x300
• Crystallized Despair x300

There are 3 different embers for the 3 different boss attributes (Sun, Moon, Earth)."

Yes i'm a idiot who didn't read it before posting you are right. What the actual F? don't judge people by yourself.

Grind 1200 items 300 of them alone ~20bils already for what  ? for 6 DP? What those 6-9 DP gonna do for you ?

+  a lot of ppl already have ready builds and they feel well with them. Imo those gloves will be ignored, by 90% of population. New Accesories are more important and extra bonuses and synergies looks really good

Especially since armor and helmet costs not even 2b per flame.

Nope. AP is everything in acc and these new accessories have worse AP even than softcap acc. Only deboreka earrings make sense, but it will probably be terribly difficult to get them, and the price of the pen (and only the pen makes sense) will be so prohibitive that the distortion tet will still be bis.

They want to force us to play on Elvia, but they still don't understand that playing there is simply not worth it (especially for those who don't have pen acc, which is 99% of the bdo population).

Yeah it's stupid even for PA standards, if the 900 other tiem gated materials would be not enough they added 15B+ just to convert it. Typhical PA bandaid fixing that onyl creates more issues while solving none.

They just noticed that almost no one collected embers, only bought flame from the markat.
And instead of fixing embers collection (e.g. by changing turo to solo zone) they changed flame to an even bigger pointless grind in Elvia.

I just posted it to point out that it wasn't just only the despairs to collect, and that 900 other shits were needed to loot

Personally I expect the release of another mmo this year
it's been a long time since I stopped investing in this game, whether they release new debos, new treasures or others, it's strictly useless because the developers who do NOT RESPECT the investment of their players
So why bother with their fake content?
more DP for what? more AP for what? grind 1000h for treasures to see them given it later via pity or in shakatu boxes? break your ass grind for 7 years to see a random in your guild have 2 pen bs with 2 j hammers and get a tet alteration and 10,000 crons in rng boxes and onetap his tri dead god / labreska with while he's been playing since less than two years?

Grind with your billion pen bs and see green secondary weapons overtake them? know that the pve spots of the game are caped, the pvp in this game is caped, the next pve content of the game is caped at 20% max of your gear... risk dying in end game spots to see newbies make as much money as you do in low lvl spots without any risk? know that everything you've been doing for 7 years is useless ?

Yeah, I'm gonna pre-order the item if it's possible to be on market, if I get it I get it, if not, I don't care, C20 Leebur will do the job, I ain't bothering, dead on arrival content for me. Will just do the story, maybe check that new crystal they mentioned in the Calpheon ball, and never touch it again, might get a Tuvala alt there if the gear is enough to do bosses with some guildies maybe, but that's about it. Such a waste, and Port Ratt was sacrificed for this...Gimme back the placeholder port please, at least my sense of awe and imagination of what was behind those doors/gates gave me a better experience than everything shown so far on the new region.
