Following Karazad release a random player in my guild says, "Oh, gosh. I was dumb founded by how far away Debos were for me. But i guess I could have a TET for 35 billion?" So, in a few minutes following that statement they made one.
You made the drops so low that in a year or more of grinding where they dropped I never saw one. Finally, having us buy them off the market at 80 billion a pop this summer to plus 20 billion for hammer. Then to.. make the 35 billion?
So, wipe out our accounts' worth in silver for every pen debo ever acquired. Devalue the thing by half or more in every instance prior to pen. Then max the pens just as they were becoming reasonably priced on a random morning.
And after doing all that you finish off by charging us x2 for any debo there after because to go from Karazad PEN to NOV is the same as one PEN DEBO.
So, after removing 2.08 trillion silver from our accounts upon Karazad release (because they are worthless) we are to grind an extra 600 billion for every incomplete debo and have added to that 300 billion for every NOV.
Wonderful.
This... is... well... something like Great Reset meets Maoist Revolution... meets... .... It's like you told us that from now on nothing we do has any possible growth. Because you just wiped out our growth. And, there's no way to ever recover that 2.08 trillion.
The trillions don't matter. The fact that some random new player in an afternoon just did the whole walk of years it took us to get here on a day's jaunt...
What's the point? We don't even feel the gains. We grind to grind. Meanwhile you go on deleting content. Horse Combat, Soaring Arts, meaningful party earnings, the OPTION to play the content went want rathre than be told what we're playing today and how to do it.
You're killing this game.
Every time you post, I wonder what game you're playing that is so vastly different than the one I am. It is easier and cheaper to enhance an OCT Kharazad than the equivalent PEN Debo. The PEN Debo -> NOV Kharazad perhaps has warped people's valuations, but even getting to NOV is on avg the same price as a PEN Debo. So at worst you're spending less for the same stats as a PEN Debo while at the same time spending the same for better stats than a PEN Debo.
Perhaps you just need to take a break from BDO and go enjoy other games. Beware that in most of them, all your work is wiped out with the next expansion though, without even a path to upgrade it like BDO gives you.
Everything would be fine, if devs added Kaz accessories on the 1st April, instead of hammers and tungrad +12ap bonus.
1. They forced to buy pen tungrad for 50-70b, because it was much more cheaper than buying x5 debos and you get +12 ap bonus.
2. They forced to buy hammers and enchance pen debo. Some people were carried, but many people spent 400-700b to get one pen debo ( including price for fs ). I even don't want to talk how much money people spent before hammers, people that don't play on NA/MENA spent crazy amount of silver buying vendor crons. If somebody don't know, NA had on 46% cheaper crons from outfits than vendor EU enjoyers at that time.
What do we have today? Kaz accessories are nice and friendly for smoother gear progression. But what about players that spent a lot of silver just 5-6 months ago? It is very short distance of time. If they told about their plans to add Kaz accessories to the end of the year, many people would be just wait, they wouldn't buy pen tungrad or hammers so crazy.
Today if you have pen tungrad, all you can > just melt on essences. you can not even get tri-tet kaz, while recently pen tungrad was almost same price as TET debo ( 50-70b ).
About pen debos, their gift IX isn't enough, it should be X at least with our efforts. XIII-IX Kaz accessories are too easy and you cant downgrade them. Some people that were carried in my guild got V-XIII Kaz for 8k crons, people who were not carried spent 20-60k crons to get XIII or IX, somebody even got both IX rings just for 50k crons. This amount of silver is a joke compare to pen debo.
So devs scammed people that bought PEN Tungrad and people that bought Hammers for PEN Debo. Everything would be nice if they added possibility to exchange PEN tungrad on PEN kaz and PEN debo on DEX Kaz. Or if we exchange PEN Debo on IX Kaz, then enhancing XIII>IX should be the same as IX-X
Personally, I feel huge scam for hammers and I don't have any desire to grind in this game. Devs don't appreciate people time in the game. Like it is good when they gift pen bs after 5 years. But it isn't good when they scam people for huge amount silver just in a few months.
Following Karazad release...
Now when they do it again, with the next accessories after Kara....
You won't be lamenting it because the Kara can't be sold to the market.
Lets hope they have a plan.....
