Honestly think BDO in 2025 might actually be the best year for BDO yet. BUT we will see, we know big changes sometimes come slow. But I like the direction they are heading in. What do you think?
your videos are so great, man. im with you 100%, good take! i play on console, and even console;s future is looking up. it seems like PA is listening. all of the new changes and additions have been very considerate and make progression a much more approachable hill.
its 2025 and to have a game with soooo much micro transaction is basically a big no for majority of players out there. come on a ship skin for $60? A p2w fishing rod? that could have been a normal game item like other new lifeskill items they added but instead put it behind pay wall. dude i have overall 50k hours in this game (ofc afk time included daaa) and I play lots of different type of games out there. If I was playing this game for the first time today after experiencing new games and how they are not p2w. I would not even touch BDO. Literally the game wants you to pay with time and money
You dont have to buy that rod. Or the ship skin, or the costumes. The only pay to win Item is the fairy cheer 5, the tent and the value pack. The concept that BDO is p2w is a stance I never agreed with.
You should add that it's going to be a good year on PC for bdo because console is years behind in content. When PC gets a update console may or most likely not get it.
Would love to see a leveling guide new player here and this could be a gamechanger for a lot of people looking to get into BDO in 2025 and i am one of them, but what stops me is that i don't know the first thing to do, and that really puts a damper on any commitment to something like BDO where new players don't know how to get started and enjoy progression efficiently..
Your not the only one, I was in the same shoes. I get alot of people in my comments and videos asking some really new things lol. BDO doesn't do a good job at holding your hand and introducing you into the game.
I maybe a good time to return but for different reasons. 1. I think the Lotml release in 2 phases was because of most of the devs went to work on Crimson Desert. 2. 3 characters in a year, that is how the make money( apparel, new gear for new character, crons for new characters gear enhancement). 3.5 Boss blitz, bosses are great looking but fighting hit detection, don't know where your taking damage from, etc. 3. End game is grinding. Yeah, latern tear 2. What next tear 3? 4. Watch the patch notes, constantly fixing bugs of characters that have been out since launch. 5. Crons for cash. 6. Progression = grind, why not quests ( nevermind they can't do that very well)? They have alot of area's that have low level enemies that are not useful, update the areas. Why is enhancement or central market the only way to progress?. 7. Free blackstar, why not lower the % chance to upgrade and have a sense of progression and increase going from blkstar to Karz. Why would i want free v blackstar, they just shorten my progression ( enjoy the journey) but they are shorting it. It's a Progression to know where. At least in other games you have raids, or large pvp or more difficult quest. Nope not PA. Enjoy the grind, unless your a life skiller and they make u use crons and raise the Progression roof. They are not ready for new/returning players, fingers crossed.
they should update the story untill desert it was amazing with the voice acting ..then it started to feel old when there was no more voice acting on main quest
The game is great it’s just the world chat is toxic and flooded with trolls that won’t give you proper answers or advice without being toxic for no reason you could say good morning and you will see your sleeves how toxic the player base is and it’s a crazy experience over all specially for new players not knowing how much stuff that they’re going to have to figure out and grasp how to do my advice for anybody reading this comment. RUclips is gonna be your best friend stay out of game chat.
@@jefferysingleton6814 Oh jeez turn those world chats off lmao. Unless you are looking for a guild...those chats are soo useless lol. I forgot those even existed. You gave me an idea just now. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤝
Played now around 700hours and the one point i would a say to a new player or someone who thinks about starting is that BDO is more Singleplayer focused and is not a real "MMORPG" like WoW or even Guild Wars 2. The way to X is the game and not when you reached X where X can be "Best Gear" or highest life skills. This game has so much Content, so much systems and so much you can do that has meaning and progress but you have to free yourself from the "i have to reach Endgame fast!!!!1111" mindset.
I love the game too, but i know that the game is not a good state.. giving new player free stuff is not that bad but its make the experience to upgrade and get your first pen not the same... Also all of that karazhad and sovereing weaps i think is not like 2016-2018 BDO that you can build different and still work .. nowdays is the same for everyone and kinds bored in that case... Dont get me wrong i like the game still but they have to stop giving us free stuff and make more fun and rewarded feel when you get a piece of gear.. because now is all about cron stones and nothing more.
Hmmm, idk. I mean, they reduced the amount of crons we need heavily to progress. You spec into different builds with those new dekia artifacts, soverign crystals and reforge options. At this point i think you can run any build and be successful, except glass cannon maybe. 🤔 I am not opposed to free things, if there is a reason for it. But I agree, getting it for free and hitting a tap feel completely different.
Even game is good from MMO perspective, open world, systems in place etc , the game will have this year a downfall after crimson desert release, as they plan also
I've heard the same sentiments from other people. They want BDO to suffer so Crimson Desert would do better. Which IMO doesn't make sense. Why would you purposely want to hurt your number one pillar product to make another product succeed. IMO They should be wanting to make the game as good as possible, so people think oh, I liked this game. Maybe I should try Crimson Desert too. Personally Crimson Desert isn't even on my radar. I have been dismissing that game fully because it's not the midevil war game genre that interests me, its being able to engange in competative combat. That's why i loved smash bros back in my younger days with friends, Tekken was cool, loved me some shooters. I just like competing. If I want a good story single player game I'll go play a Tales Series, or some Zelda. Shoot even Pokemon has better story telling, to this day I have no idea what the Story Arc of BDO is. 🤣
tbh, i play this game since 2017, and i dont recomend to anyone, PA dont care with end game players, the solution for all pvp, pve problems is give pen blackstars and t10 away
@@RocketG.Gaming i don't blame them. some people spend hundreds of hours getting it and now everyone getting it for free. it make all those hours you put in feel useless.
You love the game don't you? Your point of view makes me happy. As a 2016 player myself. Even though i will agree with your point of view. Its just hard to come back. All og's arent coming back i don't think. I dont know what it would take. Class changes? Balance changes? For us. The og's. PvP is what it boils down to. Most of us though. Dont even wanna hear about bdo ever again. Proper class tuning is going to be a deciding factor in my opinion.
@@dim3920 There for sure is a player base that isnt coming back. Pvp isn't what it used to be, and that is normal. But, theres alot of new players coming in, and part of that node war scene has come back as well. I don't think there is anything that will convince somebody thats moved on, cuz it's a normal cycle. People move on eventually. But making it simpler for the new ones to stay is what might save the game. But who knows I've quit the game three times already. 🤣
As an OG player, them normalizing node wars was the nail in the coffin. Don't think I could come back after that. As if costume melting wasn't bad enough... rip the glory days.
