Most of this is just surface level talk we all agree on. The reality is PvP is no longer fixable in a resonable amount of time (look individually of each spec of each class, fixing it and testing it against every other spec of the game, which is also being fixed), unless you streamline everyone to be able to do everything. Bottom line is, you either have absolute balance by everyone having similar utility kits, where you only need to balance damage, or class identity in an unbalanced mess. The current "fix" people are telling PA to do will not be a fix. Removing SAs from classes like awak casters and Guardian will simply make them unplayable.

very much agreed to everything

Balancing things is already hard based on the number of classes and stances ; now, if you add the various possible scenarii, it becomes impossible.

If devs want to balance things for group and mass fights, nice, BDO would gain a lot from being more of a MMORPG ; but at the same time, most spots are made for solo grind and discourages party play. As such, 1vs1 will stay an important part for many players, and they will be dissatisfied.

Guys just forget it. Balance is an illusion. Just grab your pop corns and watch the shit hit the fan. Enjoy the fallout.
Btw Tangra, Deathie asks when we are making an alliance for NW.
Excuse me, I meant to say 1 min fort gone pve gear moths with no intention to fight each other in T4/T5 and only cowardly splitting each node to themselves.
All the top10 guilds & alliances. Shame.

Great post

some classes get to permanently move, have amazing pvp advantages for years even and developers are ignoring it and neglecting pvp balance, they just sporadically throw some changes and make new overbalanced monsters for the fotm people to spend pearls and disrespect people loyal to their classes. thats total ANTI mmo approach in which people are loyal and dedicated to their characters. 

with their current changes to pvp and nodewars its getting more and more obvious that thier original success with nodewears was basically a fluke accident it turned out to be good because they keep ruining it with every update.

they keep releasing new "cool" stuff without any disregard how it will affect existing content. (see pegazi and calpheon castle, see t10 pegazi and anything, see plethora of classes getting over siege fences, see some classes climbing even castle walls, see bunch of new "cool mechanics" simply pissing on existing older classes)

sad and dissapointing.
