First of all, let me make it clear that I dont expect any developer to listen or understand this post because most of them are just about clueless on how the game works or how to do their jobs.

1. The game has turned into a trinity game, where before it was nothing like that. Every class was unique. Every class had a function. Now PA has ruined that with classes that accell. Most of the time, if you are not a rat or ranged class during node war, you are not having fun. PA is forcing classes that are not able to perform as well in node war to play as DP memes because they are unable to perform any other task properly. Playing a class that already doesnt do a lot of damage in a meta where DR is just destroying everything literally SUCKS not to mention every class that has come out in the past two years IS ALWAYS PROTECTED.

2. Classes that can stack DR AND EVASION right now are doing VERY, VERY WELL. DR classes do not benefit from evasion. Evasion benefits from DR.  Anyone that has 800+ DR and 1000-1100 Evasion, that evasion is useless because everyone is sitting at 1100 accuracy. Where as classes that have 1500 Evasion + 650-700 DR can stack so much damage while being hard to kill themselfs as people need to slot in accuracy to attempt to kill them. This benefits primarily rat classes. Yes, we know you nerfed the stacking DR and Evasion Crystals, however, this is not enough.

3. Your servers ARE THE WORST SERVERS I've ever had the displeasure of using in any MMO. And I've seen how large Throne and Liberty gets with their sieges. BDO Comes no where close to having that many players yet we commonly see people teleporting accross the map, ice skating around the map, people crashing, getting that "Connection Issues" popup box. You charge $300.00 for items in your pearl shop, a PREMIUM compared to any other game, yet you cannot provide premium quality.

4. Hit stutter needs to be removed from the game. Rangers primarily are the problem, other classes cause hit studder as well. Its not the class's fault, its your fault as developers for not testing what you are putting out. Anyone who has long lingering SA knows how it feels to be stuck in an animation because you're being pegged over and over by classes that have an excessive amount of hits. 

5. Down smash at this point needs to be capped, nerfed or removed like Air Smash was. You shouldnt be able to infinitely downsmash someone who is laying on the ground over and over.

Something needs to revert or go back to how it was before where you can see any class at the top of the K/D Leaderboard in uncapped because right now what you are doing is awful.

they need to slow down mobility and remove lots of protections you should never be protected when you CC you should never be able to warp in from off screen   because the server cant relay information because your moving at the speed of light. 

Theres no fixing PVP without fixing this first.

They removed Resistances which was what we wanted but they bloated the game with infinite protections. PVP is at a all time low and theres no saving it without drastic changes to the classes across the board.

it takes just 1 video on youtube to realize how bad the nodewars are, then there are people who frantically want to play this. invent new names like SHOTCALLER to feel important. youre a bunch of amateurs and you know it.
