Hello, everyone and Pearl Abyss Team!

I've been playing Archer as my main class since I started playing BDO 3 years ago on SA servers, I used to play on NA servers as well. I've invested so much in this class, not only time but pearls as well. Just to find out that after the new patch the class is just not playable anymore. And I've tested it as much as I could, to make sure of it!. Please! Pearl Abyss, change it back, because it was not a BUFF, it was a BAD REWORK, Please, listen to players that actually play the class, not only on PvP but also on PvE as well.

Does not make any sense on changing [Spear of Sylvia ], It was one of the few useful closed-combat skills that Archer has, and changing it to a basic shooting arrow skill like every single other doesn't make sense, it just make the class unplayable and less attractive.

-

Also [Marked Bloom] was one of the only useful skills for PvE because of the AoE that was not being affected by terrain like the [SHIFT + E] is, also it had the option of casting it on recharging, even having no damage for PvP, it was the main good skills for Archers on AoE grinding, because you could at least use it with no cooldown, and now it's useless for PvE  as well because it's not possible to use it as before. It was also a bad decision on making it a solo skill, it just reduce the option to add better status in other important and useful skills. just filling some slot that could be better used on any other skill, especially when considering the poor defense that Archer has in many aspects.

Also one of the most importants things currently, is that Archer skills are now consuming so much stamina, it's just impossible to complete a full rotation smoothly as before. Especially if you are playing Awakening and not Succ most of the time.

Archer has been a solid class in terms of rotating and mobility for years. It just needed some minor adjusts on the status to be useful as well on PvP in order to stay a little bit longer on PvP without being destroyed. The same goes to some end-game grinding spots. It Just minor adjusts on status, NOT a rework in the small number of useful skills that the class has.

 I really hope Pearl Abyss read this and make the changes that the players really want. Not only for Archer but for any other Class that are not receiving the love that they deserves. Which is sad because the combat in this game is too good and also being reference in the MMO world for a very long time.

-

For now I'm quitting BDO, after 3 years. Because I've invested so much on my Archer, even having a lot of other classes on lv60+, Archer since its release, was the only class I really enjoyed playing as my main class for years and it's just not playable anymore. such a waste of time and Pearls.

gg everyone!

I'll keep using my Archer (my #3 choice character, so he's important to me), but I am bitterly dissappointed by this move.

PA: Please, if it ain't broke, don't fix.  There's tons of buggy/meaningless content that needs your attention.

Btw, for 3 years running, every April you guys have inflicted horrific changes on this game.

I beg you, please, stop.  Don't touch this game.  At least it can't get any worse.

Seriously agree with this! (so much so I've already made a post about it lol). Archer's both my fav and my main, and it really sucks not being able to play him right now because his combat is completely screwed up by this update. For me, the biggest problem is that I would use RMB followed by LMB to avoid attacks or get behind a monster/boss, and I just can't do that now (and forward + E is just too awkward of an input for me). Also, it especially doesn't make sense since the other ra'ghon skill's input (S+ RMB) stayed the same. Still extra salty about the fact that they took it off RMB but didn't replace it with anything so now that input is useless -_-

This manner of screwing with the input systems and changing the class mechanics is not advisable.  It ruins how players play and forces them to change, usually resulting in bitterness and resentment.  And for what purpose?  Who are they trying to please?

Kudos to those trying to grind monsters with Archer nowadays.  Don't know how you do it.

I tend to agree. My spear was so important when i got stuck in the middle of a group of mobs and couldnt get out just to know i had a great melee skil that did great damage and healed me at the same time. I dont understand why you keep playing around with archer it was the one class you  pretty much got right from the start. I play one handed due to a disability and all the changes keep making it harder and harder for me to play. Please put my spear back and leave him alone. Thanks

Make Gaping darkness RMB again, at the very least.  That shouldn't be hard to do.
