Suggestions/Comments: Remove Hard Core servers, bring back Shadow Arena. HC is absolute failure.

Even do not try to solve issue with HC, you will lose  1 more year just to make Hard Core server good. Absolutly every single part of HC is such garbage. If I start talking about issues, you will have infinity list. There is no way you can solve all of them. This is incredible, I thought that only 4 classes was the only problem, but nah, I find problems every single minute on your "HC". You just waisted  development time for nothing, when we just  asked to bring  back Shadow Arena. 

Just tell to us what problem you have with not being able to bring SHADOW ARENA for the last five years.

have to agree, its not even hardcore because you can respawn and people say OH BUT YOU LOSE GEAR, yeah by the time you die you have 50 boxes of crap to use so no, not really losing gear. people log on avoid pvp grind out their daily and log off, im even seeing people gruop and team for it now...like its just a pve grindspot, we need to bring back shadow arena for pvpers and delete this hc crap fest and bring back altar of blood for pve'rs

Stop spamming the forums with your worthless HC server hate.   OP has probably made more nonconstructive HC server hate posts than anyone on this forum.

sorry, but HC server is fun and a lot of people enjoy it.  It is a step in the right direction and could use some improvements, but you just look ridiculous and entitled not giving it any credit at all.

If you are one of the people who think having only 4 classes is a problem then YOU are the problem.  

Stop only thinking about yourself and being shortsighted.  Not only is having only 4 class more balanced but it makes it more accessable for new players and veterans alike.  It gives non-meta classes a chance to shine when they are eventually selected.

Instead of learning to fight against 30 classes you only need to learn 4.   Even if you don't like pvp, you can benefit and enjoy HC server playing a cat and mouse game.

HC server has brought me back to actually playing BDO and has been more fun than i've ever had playing the game in all my years.  It is much closer to the kind of ultima online-esque pvpmmorpg that i've been looking for.

People like the OP are only thinking of themselves and should be ignored. 

as long as ppl talk about it, even if its bad, its a success for PA.

so dont mention it anymore.

Above all, you're really short-sighted and you can't see the obvious flaws. People won't keep learning a full skillset, on a server without buffs/addons/crystals, for 2 hours max per day of playtime, and change every month.

At best, Devs are simply trying to stretch a poor content on a high number of seasons by doing this. You will realize it sooner or later anyway. Shadow Arena was far more logical as a pvpve system.  

If you want more flaws, I could also mention the existence of pve gear/buffs vs pvp gear/buffs (it was already absurd on regular pvpve channels anyway), the lack of mana pots...

Hardcore can have it's place aside the game, as some people can have fun with it.  It's not impossible to play, it has interesting challenges to it, but my main issue with this side-game they created is that, once again, no one asked for this.  People have been asking for Shadow Arena ever since I started checking the forums, which began on April 13, 2022, when PA ruined the soundtrack in this game.  But this isn't what they wanted.  PA has ignored these people for at least two and a half years.  About a year ago, people sick of the open world being killed, asked for a hard-core server, which is basically Arsha, but where PvP is rewarded.  It's a server, in the game, where you get to be your characters, but the emphasis would not be grinding monsters with a little PvP, but you would go out of your way for PvP because that is why you are there.  Arsha doesn't reward PvP.  It gives a PvE loot bonus.  So.............

This Hardcore server isn't what I have seen anyone ask for.  The devs have dumped tons of time into something that no one has been asking for.  Tons of time that could have been spent giving us what we'cve been asking for.  No small wonder that most people here will complain about it.  Some will love HC, sure.  It's a side game, built off of BDO. It has it's thing about it that people will like.  No problems there. But it isn't BDO.  And no one that I have ever seen on these forums has asked for this.

I just want my open world back.  I'd like people to have incentive to party up.  But I also want people to have incentive to challenge each other and make the game interesting.  Mindless mobs are not that interesting.

This game has no good, captivating story.  People don't play this game for that.  What other purpose is there?  Infinite grind?  Please no.  Playing with (right now, there's no reason to, please make partying worth it, PA) and against other players?  Sure.  That's why I got this game in the first place, way back in 2020.

Shadow arena and altar of blood are both peak af modes that should be permanently in the game and queuable !!!!
