PA saw the troubled state bdo has been in, with revenues and playerbase in persistent decline due to growing discontent with the overall game design direction. They have skillfully responded by rolling out massive daily login giveaways, along with an array of popular events; 100% item droprate, gathering event, treasure paint event, double guild bosses and piece of edana event. Since a lot of what people have been upset about have been progression slowdown, these moves have maintained player engagement for the time being. Now, PA just needs to bring stability to the severs, fix the bugs, make progression realistic and meaningful (more AP should let us grind faster, more DP should let us tank more effectively), and focus on core classic bdo gameplay design rather than do a poor job of imitating Dark Souls.

The event isnt really a fix. They need tio lower these Edania bosses difficulty to be around a calamity 5 or 6 loml boss (depends on the loml boss really)

I'm kinda thinking they will cause there's another part to Edania to release, right? ...and with that, I'm sure, more higher level bosses than those that are out now. I'm thinking they will scale the difficulty down so the the top boss on the second part of Edania will be what like C10's are like and Edania part 1 boss will be like C5-7.

this^

getting more ap now feels pointless, ap used to feel good, before i could at least grind in circles faster, now its basicaly just another stat that does nothing and acts only to time gate content....

dp has felt useless for a long time, no matter how much dp you have you just get one shot by poorly designed mechanics

bdo is not dark souls and we need to stop acting like it is.

Lol No. The paint event is a bullshit bandaid because paint drops are so rare. The edania crystals are bullshit because even though the event is geared for Tuvala, all it amounts to is -1 inventory slot if you don't have a Wailing Slumbering Origin Armor. Guild bosses give okayish silver at best, there's nothing meaningful coming from them. They have the audacity to tie other paints behind black shrine hard party bosses. 

These assholes are the ones making the problem and you're cheering because they made the problem, that they created, slightly less awful.

The EVENTS have been great, thats true! 

But some of the events in the past months should just be converted to permanent content.

- RBF weekly and Dailies

- Paint weekies for mob kills and black shrine kills 

- 2x Guild bosses 

- 2x Vell, Garmoth
