i do have same problem crashed 2 times  after waiting for 15-20 min in cue to fill up the 40 members quota but   because ppl are waiting and tired off waiting they become afk and we  reconnect to matching system over and over for a while, When   i enter in rbf after 5 min i crash, nothing is good on this upate!

Waiting for 40 ppl to que up, stayng in line for a while if i do 10 matches my day is gone not even mention with more people creates more fps drops  and so on , verry dissapointed  of this update

No, rbf is uber trash today. Like there is not even any sense to play for event. I waited 2 times  for 20 minutes, at some point  queue just  dissapiers at all. Like that moment when you thought  that rbf cant be worse. And devs delayed this content...  

- trash rewards
- no consunambles for 1 silver
- terrible maps
- if in the past i could see what rbf i can enter and how long do i need to wait, then i am waitining for nothing today. 

I am just mad.

In queue for 32 minutes and counting.  This change made so that the devs and community couldn't specifically point out all the empty rooms for a near dead mode.  Other than removing Valencia (which should not have existed beyond 1 patch, let alone 10+ years), every rbf change is a negative.  Though there is no point in reverting it back since it would still be the same since PA refuse to fundamentally change rbf so it's a fun mode that people actually want.

and this is NA/EU not Korea.  We are all venting/yelling into the wind.  They never have and never will care about our opinions.

Nobody knows how many people are waiting for RBF.

The game starts when there are 40 people and not just 20 and then it fills up.

Once RBF starts, you can't change gear and skills, so if you want to do life skills, grind or just anything while waiting for RBF, you can't, because you have to have PVP gear and skills ready.

Waiting for RBF for 20 minutes is a completely normal thing and the player has no chance to find out if RBF is likely to start in a short while (a lot of people are logged in - or if he is alone there and can wait another hour...) - a complete waste of time.

If you manage to do two RBFs in one hour, then you are lucky, but if you lose twice, you have earned 200M per hour.

Buff potions are not free or at least automatically Immortal.

The longer I play BDO, the more I feel that someone who hates PVP takes care of RBF.
