Game is stale and isolating, this needs to change.
Murrowak labrynth was a really good concept, and should be used as further insipiration for all future grind spots in BDO (and eventually reworking old spots to be more group friendly).
I don't necessarily mean a copy paste of murrowak labs, however the concept of having a room for each member than then conversing together to fight a final boss is enjoyable, having some diversity and engagement that players have to loosely work together for a greater reward is something that PA should've been working on a lot more (instead of reworking tungrad ruins).
Yeah short and sweet, Make all classes SSS+ tier in PvE as well, it's a 99% pve game. There is no excuse why classes are so imbalanced in the PvE aspect of the game. Sort it out.
No, we don't need group grind spots, we need better group grinding as a whole. PA: get rid of punishments for partying up. Create bonuses and incentives to let us help each other and have fun with each other. Don't punish solo players by gating content, and don't punish players who want to team up. Make looting free for all again. Let us want to play with each other.
And yes, all classes should be equally awesome at PvE.
Peace.
we dont need more group spots, make new spots that can be soloed and be done in groups. PA literally wasting space and assets by designing spots ONLY for one or the other when they could do same place same monster skins for both.
2-3 people are good, 5+ nah. more people, more worse it is.
They could create a zone where the mobs scale in difficulty based on the number of people in your party. The rewards could also increase, and you could get stat bonuses too.
They could make a multiple-tower grind zone where having towers active would RNG trigger a mini-boss spawn in the middle. The more towers active, the better the RNG. Towers would be individual loot, boss would be group loot, you could grind it with any number of players, although obviously the more the better. It would really encourage friendly pick-up groups, as low performance by one player wouldn't be as impactful for the group, as long as they're doing well enough to keep their tower active.
You think you want this until someone's parents ask them to help with something 10 minutes into your grind or someone gets the hershey squirts and then you have to rep someone and convince them to buff for less than an hour-long grind.

My response right above yours would handle that situation pretty well.
5 is hard to keep around, even 3 people for Doluns can be flakey.
I think 2 man zones are best, because it's easier to knock hours out with a friend, than it is multiple friends/randoms
If the content in this game wasnt mostly AFK i'd be down, its too hard to find 5 people for stuff to do
