I'm going to start with the two most straight forward love/hates, but then give secondaries for both because I want them to be known as well.

Love: The combat. So many of us are here for this reason alone!

Hate: Crystal breaking. I say it so often at this point haha. If I quit, this is likely the reason.

Now for some more nuanced love/hates!

Love: Investment reward. Although the path to the best gear is long and arduous to the point where it can feel like an upgrade doesn't have much impact, all of the time you invest in this game doesn't get deleted with that next expansion. This is such a big positive! Honestly, the fact that my time feels valuable and has lasting implications even if I were to take a break from the game, is a major reason that I keep playing.

Hate: They have a plethora of cool systems that feel like a chore to get into. I have to go extensively digging for information to know how to play this game. I don't want a tutorial splash to appear on my screen every second, but a guided introduction to the different avenues of the game would help so much! Combat styles for classes, the 11 different life skills, solo PvE grinding, group PvE grinding (including dungeons), capped PvP content, uncapped PvP content, etc. There is an insane amount of content this game offers, with almost no direction in how to engage with it.

Cheers to everyone else's love/hate relationship with the game!

Love... the classes, costumes, combat, variety of monsters, beautiful world, lifeskilling stuff,and guild stuff.

Hate... (more like annoyed af) the enhancement system can really wreck your day, week, or month(s)... depending on how hard you worked to earn what you need to get there. Especially with manos stuff and accessories. If BDO is going to implement crons as a failsafe against your gear from downgrading, it should be the same with everything. I hate that I worked so hard for accessories, then try to enhance a tet disto or something only for it to downgrade.

Its more about HATE and less from love, cause most of time we enjoy the game until HATE things show up,

So for HATE its:

-Animations

-cinematics that cannot be skipped

-Transition, long time game launch-log in-select server-select char-> when boss is spawned and suddenly crash, game crash

-Server lag sometimes

-Unballanced gear pvp

-Unfair RNG pve gear progression

-Path walking overnight stuck on tree/rock/fall

-Low silver end game spots

-Expensive crons

-LOLM BOSSES mechanics unexplained

- World bosses drop trash, Garmoth-Kzarka especially ( I don't do them anymore, garm heart RNG its like impossible and kzarka drops literally nothing, not worth)

-crystal break system

-Diving/swimming

-Church buffs/statue buffs and others not attached to TENT

-Hardcore path to mythicall horse

-TONS of unused items that occupy slots in  mp/inventory and so on ( needs unifiying )

-Pit of undying TET daily quests booring enemies

-Tag fuel expensive and not perma event for 1 fuel

-DMG pops not showing damage but only Critical damage/damage/miss etc.

-Damage type unexplained

-Kama/Old moon/Value pack timer running out even if you are offline insteand of run out when you are online only ( this prove that kama/old moon event on last months was basically usless where you get 2h buff from spawning things, I got hours where not even 1 spawned).

- Dying when use Escape to fall from a peak just to shortcut a long not needed distance, dmg is cumulated and hit player when recovers from escape.

For sure there are more but mostly I think those are annoying from my experience and I enjoy rest of the game pve/pvp/life skill things.

I really love all your comments guys! Lets keep it going! I wish someone could somehow pitch this to the devs so they can see like there's OBVIOUSLY a common trend on what we like about the game and things we dislike T-T. Then they could work on expanding AND improving what we all love <3, in conjuction with removing OR reworking the things we hate </3

Hate: 

1. that awakenings are not a separate class and are mixed with the original class skills, they should make them as succesion.

2. the lore and story and the fact that there are just elf females race only, and no dark elf class males

3. how the story is told and the goofy npcs, i rly don't feel like i'm part of this world

4. the dungeons are very bad and nothing epic about them, i am very disapointed about it.

5. the art style for bosses in general and mobs, just look at red nose... come on, rly?!

6. the fact that even at lvl 61 with tet/pen items i can get like -90% hp in 1 hit and i can die instant from normal monsters, cause im just traveling

7. crystal breaks

8. the sky is too bright or white in remastered graph

9. char customization, most faces are just 1 face ugly and a little changed to look like more options, cannot even adjust head size for taller bodies

10. there are no demons in this game

Love:

Overall graphics and gameplay

I like how the game is goal driven. The thing I don't like how PA doesn't allow its players to get off the treadmill to breath and enjoy other aspects of the game. What I mean by this is if a player wanted to stop pveing for a few weeks just to enjoy rbf, they won't make much progression since RBF isn't very rewarding for the time spent there. The same can be said for lifeskilling. 

Basically due to the extreme gap between running in circles killing monsters and everything else, players are forced on the treadmill to progress. If the game was more rewarding in other areas it would allow players to take a break from one aspect of the game to enjoy another while not negating the progression of their character. I believe if they did this it would be good for the overall health of the game.

I love the PvP and PvE. 

I hate the penalties that you get from doing either.
