G'Day to one and all,

This is something i thought would of been changed by now over the past years, but i guess not.

Im pretty sure someone probably made a suggestion about it, but i thought i would ask this BDO community the question anyways...

How many people would like it if BDO just joins the stats of the Alchemy & Cooking clothes together, so we can have it as 1 outfit, instead of 2 seperate outfits?

I believe its kind of redundent and stupid that they are seperated, as its not only annoying as hell, but when you are trying to do the cooking and alchemy quests, side by side and you gotta try and keep remembering to change outfits, back'n'forth from cooking to alchemy and vice-versa all the time, just to reap the benefits of buffs that the clothing/outfits give you, why not just have 1 outfit and just make it easier for everyone.

I understand that someone might say, well you cant as the stats need to be seperated because high level cooking wouldnt be the same as high level alchemy, as certain items require certain levels in order to produce the product! Well, so what!
Would it really change anything from a technical stand point? I dont think so.

I just thought i would just ask people around here and see how many people would be on the same page as me or maybe its just me and im just too god damn smart for commonsense, lolz...

Cheers,

I would rather them just effectively inplement the overall presets they flashed during the calpheon ball, and then go from there. I think the issue for PA is they want to make as much money as possible off lifeskill outfits, and the presets likely will get players to buy even more (not personally against this). I am really looking forward to the presets, particularly not screwing up an hour of life/grinding because I forgot one silly thing.

I hear you though, swapping between them to finish guild missions gets tedious. I hope that the changes this year are implemented well. 👀

       They could just merge most life-skills into a single outfit and even make it so that you gain the benefits of that outfit family-wide without having to wear it, as most MMOs have done.

       Yup, and this is compounded by the fact that the status quo since PA/BDOs inception has been enough to provide sufficient Bugatti's to the C/Investor Class in PA/BDO. It's quite the debate whether they'd make more money if they streamlined their game better and made it less predatory - as that would bring in more customers that refuse to give them any $$ whatsoever now - but it is what it is.

The saddest part is that lifeskilling costumes are not traded on the CM, so it's not something that whales keep remonetizing when they are filling the abyss of pearls. Just like the tent, it's something that anyone trying to play a certain aspect of this game seriously will have to buy for their own account. My problem with this is that (IMO) they've shot their profit in the foot by not making these more widely accessible. I'm sorry, but 30-50e for a digital good for all the broke-boys that make less than 1k euros per month is a hard pill to swallow when they could provide themselves with an entirely new experience in a new game for the same cost. Add on that the toxic design of the VP/Kama/Old Moon....and yeah....

PA is probably losing potential money for not targeting a wider audience with their non-whale items, but we'll never know since they will never change.

That would even be way more better, if they would do that too!
