Okay, clearly no one likes this new hardcore server(probably because its not hardcore at all)
im going to ingore the obvious troll post from a certain player who will definetly post and claim hes having fun and the game mode is good
heres how to make a new hardcore server people really want.
step 1:make a character with hardcore turned on.
step 2 only allow them to play on 1-3 special hardcore server(exactly like any normal server).
step 3 make that server pvp flagged on and cant be turned off except when in towns/safe zone.
step 4 if you kill a player you get there items everything.
step 5 remove 2hour limit, no limit no restriction just only allow hardcore characters on those specific channels.
if you wanna add world bosses to it, just make a 5min timer before and after a boss dies for ppl to loot and try run away but if they die to world boss ffa loot on first person to pick it up after a set time of say 10 seconds.
step 6:(this one is for PA directly) PROFIT, watch players become happy again and can get pvp out of their system and when they had enough swap to their non HC characters and buy those pearls for crons you keep forcing us to need.
win win allround i say.
dont see how hard this is for PA to understand, just give us a normal server with 1 life limit and let us go WILD, that what we asked for, thats what you pretended we were going to get, thats what you didnt give us.

I litterally just made a post about the hardcore server very long rant you prob saw it. And I mean this in a respect ful way this suggestion won't work.
Killing players and getting everything is no better then an issue on thier hardcore server of the gear breaking and having to grind another hour that's not fun and all this will lead to is the better classes and we all know class balance is bad just having the most gear.
I would rather they just take what is arsha and give people reasons to fight like hot spots on the map so people converge at locations.
Cause the hardcore servers PA made is worse then just hopping on current arsha and way way worse then shadow arena.
Dont need to invent a bicycle, just bring back our old Shadow Arena, it was perfect.
Or apply the same shadow system for the hard core servers, like you join, grind gear, mobs, kill players, and map decreases in size time by time and in the end only 1 person win.

oh i agree this isnt even a hardcore its a.....i dont even know how or what to call it, theres nothing hardcore about it. and while you say my idea wont work, its basically what most of the pvp community wanted just high risk high reward pvp focused only game play. which pa are too scared to give us.

god i miss shadow arena. if they would just bring back og shadow arena, so many people would be happy again
You have to realize most of the problems are the fault of the pvp community itself. If you reward pvp too much people just game the system in whatever way they can to maximize profit for themselves and their friends/guilds. Look at all the AoS game sniping that went on to try and get better matchups, and that's where almost everyone that tried got solar incarnate anyway. I'm sure there are already discords set up for hardcore to set up times where everyone can farm up their stuff with the least amount of actual pvp so people can get their rewards and dash.

You're not talking about the pvp community there, you're talking about cheaters. Make the difference, rigging the fights for profits is not a pvper stance.
And Devs also have a duty to avoid such loopholes. But the pvp community is not responsible for that.
I like hardcore server and so do a lot of people. Its crazy to me how so many people don't even understand the point of it.
I'm a huge proponent for full loot risk/reward pvp but what you describe would be more unpopular than what we have now. the vast majority of BDO players could not handle losing all gear on death. It just wouldn't work well in a game with so many classes and so much imbalance and such a quick TTK that was litereally designed so that whales would never feel a skill gap. People would get tired of it real quick without huge changes. This new generation of gamers is coddled and weak and cant handle losing their pixels. Might as well make a new game entirely.
What they have done is a step in the right direction and hopefully they improve upon it.

I don't think hard core full death pvp will work in the way you suggested though.
like i get it works wow but most people are not playing pvp in that thier doing pve I'd you die that's it. With pvp It becomes a lot less fun when your spending an extreme ammount of hours grinding it just to have someone 1 shot you or just class diff you lol.
Shadow arena it worked because it was a battle Royale was the full map didn't have a safe zone where if you step out someone can just follow you and nuke you from the rear it worked like a battle Royale dropping in finding a class and working with your buddies to come out on top as the area shrinks. Shadow arena is the best option for this game in terms of a pvp daily gamemode that's fun and let's people learn different classes while not overwhelming them in the process

Your in the extreme minority most of the community doesn't like the mode.

most of the community doesn't like pvp so that isn't saying much.
You can't even understand how someone could like the mode. Did you ever consider that maybe the game isn't for someone like you?
I'm def not an extreme minority. Lots of people are having a blast with it and here you are being the literal imbodyment of the "stop having fun" meme.
