So happy about new calamity bosses. 0.00001% of folks who has 340ap or 350 ap can do some bosses to get more loot. 

As 320ap pleb I can enjoy watching announcements of some sweats downing bosses. 

You devs really know how to implement stuff. Last time I had this much fun is when you made atroxious dungeon or whatever it's called.


Keep it up. You game is doing alive and well!

New Sangoon calamity is supposed to require 330 to 350 AP, but, as with much of this new content, it probably has a hidden AP requirement of 30 AP higher (360 to 380) if you want a somewhat chill experience with a reasonable clear time.

The new dungeon that's coming out in a little while looks to require hardcapped gear. PA seems to think that making most of their content for the most hardcore players will greatly boost their revenue. However, these players have earned their gear through spending thousands of hours grinding for treasure items, and thus are not particularly likely to whale in BDO.

Maybe it's there for illusion. Since it's gatewalled folks at 310-320 start spending to get crons.

p2content basically.

You don't miss out on much.

 

At the start had a few difficulties, but then relealised I had to do the classic BDO boss strategie and up my graphic settings since red circles don't get displayed on lower settings

-FG are usless. Looks like PA forgot  they were  part of the game

-die sometimes even in pve  i-frames

-he can kills you even in shorter animation locks

-some red circles don't get proberly displayed 

- blade one shot attack timing is random

- frequently hit boxes don't match up with the attack 

- and alot more bs

The boss itself is kinda easy, but the fight is simply annoying. He has a bunch of I-frames, and almost every attack one shots you. So basicly half of the fight either you are spaming pve i-frames to survive or the boss is in i-frames and can't be attacked. It drags the fight out way too much.

IMO the "core fight" looks pretty solid, then PA came around and added a bunch of artifical difficulty bs into the fight. As a result we got this

 

I did the c8 fight with 331ap and you defnetly beat him with 10-20 sheet ap less

Yea you can beat the boss with a lot less AP than shown in the requirements (as shown by a bunch of people clearing C9-C10 with nouver equipped) so the AP requirements could be lowered by like 20 sheet AP and still be doable. You just need a lot of consumables.

As for the fight, once you learn the mechanics and animations, it becomes rather doable. There are indeed some inconsistencies with hitboxes, but not as bad as some other fights imo. Also i disagree on the FG thing, they saved me a lot of times. Just kinda depends on which animations you can use it on (same with SAs, Sangoon can ignore both of these on some of his attacks).

The iframes are a bit annoying, but also kinda necessary to restore stamina. I really needed these breathers from time to time.

Overall I feel like its a solid fight, where hitboxes could be a bit more consistent. And the AP requirement needs to be lowered a lot because its just not necessary to be this high.

Well, glad to see that the AP requirement doesn't assume you have a ton of consumables as well, other content should get similiar updates.

Apart from that, if PA cuts down on the bugginess and instakills, we could have a good fight here from what I'm hearing.

People have been complaing for a year that there is no use for the gear they have. PA makes DSR and C8-C10 and people complain they don't have the gear to do it. Perhaps just do the content you can do and get more gear until you can do them? Not every update has to be for everyone.
