Well actually the PvP changes had no effect overall since it was not an issue to begin with.

The drop is just all the new players leaving, the players that was baited in by the shills paid by PA. There was a large marketing activity 2 months ago, but since the game still do not have any content (heck due to the PvP removal it now have less content than what it had), players are leaving as there is nothing to do, there is no reason to even bother with gearing, and the new palyer expeience is still the same crap it was 5 years ago, heck it's probably worse due to the new quests being AIDS.

Kinda funny tho, they burned all that money on paying those streamers to play bdo, but what do they even expect? They did not adressed not even a single issue with the game in the last 5 years, they really think that all those players will going to stay if the very same reason they had to quit still persist?

Thanks for the link. Sadly its from 2021 and that peak is from 2019 i tried to research but couldnt find anything special that would explain that exploding peak.

Ahh false google result. It could one of those good streamer reviews, I remember one that said that p2w is not that bad and you can make more silver if you play the game. A lot people came after that, but I doubt is this one day spike.

I was wondering if I should reply sinse you just post to be negative. But I will poin some things:
"Well actually the PvP changes had no effect overall since it was not an issue to begin with."

But:
"heck due to the PvP removal it now have less content than what it had), players are leaving as there is nothing to do"

"the new palyer expeience is still the same crap it was 5 years ago" - realy? its getin more and more easy to a point that is kinda pointles.

Thats not the same expirience. Its worst. Atleast for me, but more and more players want everything to be extremly easy.

"They did not adressed not even a single issue with the game in the last 5 years"

And thats total BS. For 5 years they adressed a lot of thing, more than some games do in lifespawn. But you just have to be negative. I get it. PA did some great things, but in same time doing total bs...

Nah list me those "big" things that they are adressed, but let me help you, what they did not adressed:

-desync

-players manipulating the game with third party software to gain advantage, fps, latency etc.

-class balance, it's actually worse than it ever was

-actuall endgame content

Now then let me show me where all that development went in the last 5years cause clearly not into balancing or fixing the engine, or into adding meaningfull content.

As for rest, it was pretty clear what I mean. PvP matters for you, for a small minority that is true, but on the largescale of things, you are an insignificant minority, that's why PA don't care much about it. PvP could be a proper content in this game, that is if PA would care, but since they never did care, it only ended up being an insignificant niche for the minority.

They can do so. Why not. However, it does not require removing previous content (OW PvP) to make the game less diverse.

Furthermore, the recent GvG/Marni/Karma changes allow players griefing more than ever before.

/facepalm
But on that  Iagree:
"PvP could be a proper content in this game, that is if PA would care"

I dont Understand  why cant BDO have different type of servers?

1 PVP

2 node war guildwar

3 PVE

I understand many player liike the pvp part of this game. What I dont understand is that when you might be fishing or chopping trees and someone just comesup and kills you for no reason? I am beginning not to like this game 

This comment is why this game has been a niche 10k player game for 8 years.

The answer to your question is because "pvpers" just want to gank helpless PvErs and not actually PvP - it's why they hate instanced PvP content against other people who can actually fight back.

Because the game was developed with crym system in mind. Things like stealing from homes, attack on players trade caravans, bounty system. Sadly those were abandoned because of crybabbyes I guess, and the rest was never properly readjusted. And becase PvP death is not punished, but PvP kill is hevy punished (PK), crybabyes are never happy, we gona have mostly single play game with only one server when you can deal with some of the griefers. Only one server without rulles, and zero servers with proper rulles....

I gues due to most of the players wanting easy and unchallenging game we dont have the right to play what we want.. and what we bought actualy in case of BDO.
