I love this, I couldn't have said it better myself <3

Love: I LOVE the combat, skill animations, etc. There is nothing else like it in the MMO market.

Hate: I HATE RNG, Please stop Casino Simulator development.

I <3 : Overall Customization.

I love to adjust/re-build things up to my personal preferences, not only in games, but overall. BDO, after all those years still have state of the art character customization. Although it would require a little re-work and the character models are screaming for one too - creating a new character (or re-adjusting already created as I have maxed out slots) is still my favourite thing to do.

I #?! : Overall Enhancement experience.

It simply sucks! My account seems to have a terrible RNG roll upon creation (yes, I do believe it's a thing) while I can see my friends to success like 1 / 2 / 3 -taps even with the most riddiculous odds. 

I honestly did struggled with picking just one thing in each category. My relation to the Game went from '100% worship' to '50% love Vs 50% hate thing' over the years. Mostly due to the abovementioned 'hate' point.

I love this game for its combat, and the diversity it still has.  I love its music, though I hate how it's implemented.  I love its lore, though the story.........  I love the creativity, the uniqueness, and the focus on humor.  I love the Black Spirit.

I hate the fact that PA sacrifices art, immersion, and everything good that this game has in order to satisfy some concept of QoL, namely that simple is better.  I hate the fact that this game is being simplified to the point of absurdity.  I hate that PA thinks that, as today's patch notes says "We need to get rid of the old to make way for the new."  If that's the case, why does Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon and Media still exist?  Why even have a story, if everyone R spams it just ot max their gear to....... do what exactly?  I hate that everything cool about this game is being sacrificed to push ketchup mechanics and getting us all to end-game areas that in a lot of respects are not near as immersive and delightful as the early game areas.  I hate that PA does not make all things relevent, and that it allows cool content to die, just because it's "old".  

I hate what this game is becoming.  I hate that it has lost so much diversity and beauty just to make it simple and easy to maintain.

Peace

For sure crystal system its trash, doing best to grind for silver and sometimes experienced server lag or suddenly internet intreruption, mobs kill you then when relogging find that 1.5b Rebel or 5b Girin is gone. Instead they could re-work this into: Expensive crystals have low chance to break, harder to get should mean low chance to break imo or like I said, 4 restore per month to compensate but we have to complain more about this system because only real thing does its to waste alot of time to grind for them again and not having a proper meaning for actual gameplay instead of just wasting more time.

I loved the people that I met when the game was popular.

I hate that they all quit.

:P

Love the perspective of end game with great stuff.

Hate the fact that there is no end game with great stuff. (everything is capped)



In fact, there is no end game.

There are strengths and weaknesses to the game. Here are my top three positives:

1) The combat mechanics are engaging and the character classes are enjoyable to play.

2) The graphics and overall atmosphere of the game are considered some of the best in the MMO genre. Playing on Remastered/Ultra Fine graphics enhances the experience.

3) While the enhancement feature can be frustrating, it adds a layer of excitement akin to gambling. Achieving a successful enhancement feels highly rewarding.

On the downside:

1) Open World PvP has been heavily modified to cater to players who are reluctant to engage in more challenging content.

2) There is a lack of group content available. While Atoraxxion was a welcomed addition, it consisted largely of puzzling elements and became repetitive between boss fights.

3) Certain character classes, such as Maewha, Kunoichi, Ninja, Musa, Sorceress, Striker, and Mystic, are not as commonly seen due to their perceived lack of usefulness in current gameplay scenarios.
