Codes from the ball are good. 50k crons, 5 hammers, 10 outfits and some other junk.

Logging in for the first time in a month or two to burn the crons, probably get disappointed, and log back off

Yeah, not a whole lot excites me about the ball.
Gunner is kinda whatever, although I'm glad they are finally returning to Succ/Awake instead of the Ascension bullshit. We'll see what his Awakening kit looks like.
I'll probably check out the new grind spot for a bit and finally burn my Agris down. Once I hit full Dec Khara and Nov Sov, I lost all interest in grinding and have just been afk fishing and weekly bosses, altar of blood, etc. I don't expect the new grind spot to keep my attention all that long though. Maybe a week or two?
It also doesn't help that Awake Dosa is kind of in the trash heap right now as far as grinding efficiency goes. I really hope they revamp/rework him soon. His little elemental generator mechanic sucks and is super bugged.

I liked everything I heard. But I also play pretty casually and just came back recently after years away. So I am techincally in the mid game hurdle. So all these free things to help catch up will be good. But I am in no rush to get to end game. Hell the family life skill gear will help a lot, no longer have to constant switch out gear or on and off alts etc. Also you can put your family characters on things like fishing or processing while you are doing something else, just very good QoL right there. The one weird thing will be having a level cap and something everyone will be able to reach, even if you just grind an hour a day.
We'll see how much actually comes or gets delayed. I still have fun with the game, but I play casually , grind an hour here or there a day, fish, do my farms, gather , world bosses, shrine etc. So lots for me to still do and they keep moving the bar(like this one with new accessories), so doubt I will ever catch up, unless something amazing happens like a combo of content/class I really love, so can just grind for hours like the old days.

1 class a year, succ in the summer awak in the winter sounds nice. Pretty much everything they talked about and announced was a positive really. Not particularly interested in gunner so far, but the gameplay looked cool, especially the big AoEs and the teleport. Very nice coupons + login rewards. DPS meter is cool. Unified lifeskill gear is cool. Edania 2 looks good. Overall I feel more positive about the game's future after the ball.

Im on the fence about this one. PA has had this data, just not allowed us to see it till now. So either the community can stfu up about class misbalancing number wise, or it shows PA never looked at the data? <--- lulz?
Or class misbalancing has more to do with mechanics (cc's and blocks\sa\etc) which we all know it does, so we just can't bitch about numbers damage wise anymore?

Sadly I dont think balance will ever get close to even, just so many classes and things to balance(builds, CCs, SA, FG). They could get closer for some specs that are far behind definitely(as some struggle way behind). But i generally try to pick things I enjoy grinding on and playing vs what makes the most silver/hr. I also dont pvp , so that probably helps. Chasing meta or tier lists generally means you quit sooner or start to hate it because you just dont enjoy the gameplay.
Giving hard numbers to players though, man expect a ton of posts/videos and now they can supply data. Everyone wants their class to be the best or equal to them. Especially as some have been on the top for a while(witch/wiz), at least pve wise.

Thank you for the codes!
Interesting they are upping the level cap, and making levels count toward damage now. It’s going to be interesting to see a lot of zones busy again as people start to grind exp.
You know it’s wierd, I actually quested for the first time in I don’t know how long. I never finished Duvencrune’s quest line as I got burned out after doing seven charters through Kams. The quests in this game along with the lore isn’t actually too bad. It’s been since the Magnus that I actually paid attention to the storyline. I wasted two hours putzing around (in terms of silver and crons) but it was great. Trying to get 10k wolves dead and 25 more blue spirit essences to create the Nineshark chandelier. It’s nice to play the game and take a break from the major RNG for once

Not sure why they would now decide to make a level cap and then also make it attainable in a couple weeks. An attempt to get people out in the world grinding over each other and thus stirring up drama/pvp/interaction since 120ish hours of grinding to level cap is a lot more of a reason to do it than 120 hours to go from 63 to 64 and gain virtually nothing (just an example level, I dunno what the time frames per level are these days)?

I think it's a way for them to have to design less "gear" for stat increases and instead take the lazier approach of just increasing the level cap - throwing you a bunch of monster AP in the process. Plus, like you said, it helps newbies who may not have the gear still get into better grind spots.

That's a lot of pretty big changes, not sure how it'll all pan out but I guess they wanted to switch things up. I wonder how the expeditions or whatever the thing where you send your alts on missions will work, if it's a 20/24h kind of deal or a 1h thing where you spam it when playing. The level cap is also interesting considering some hardcore people basically spent years just leveling, you can still farm for money obviously but it isn't quite the same. On the flipside it was always kinda weird playing a game with a softcap level and no real hardcap other than the time impossibility, and then they're push the softcap a bit higher every few years for whatever reason.
Also adding DLSS/FSR support sounds nice, should be able to get a much better anti aliasing than the default solution which iirc was blurry shit?

Just saw this pop up. Pretty nice for starting players-think I'll do it on an alt just to get the second set of gear

This feels like the start of a new chapter with the game, and it also feels like a good point to maybe completely hop off the carousel. Wish it were easier to sell a BDO account

As long as it means daily/weekly activities become less impactful over time, I'm all for it.This feels like the start of a new chapter with the game, and it also feels like a good point to maybe completely hop off the carousel. Wish it were easier to sell a BDO account
Even if they do it in a way where there's a giant "catch up" mechanic every 6 months/year or whatever.
