I’ve played since October and the only real piece of NEW content that included never seen before (re-used) assets is Ivory Dunes I believe. They don’t even add new mechanics, or anything else of sorts. It’s all re used. I feel as tho the company has made somewhat good revenue since release, why is none of it going back into development?

I love the game, have been addicted since I started. but with the updates recently, it feels as though the love and care I have for the game is not shared by the developers or company running the game. More and more it seems like a game that will fade away in a few months, because everyone is bored. There is nothing to do for end game players. We resort to PvP, however that’s not possible as you have restricted two items to players who have higher reputation so it’s almost impossible to compete in PvP so we then leave PvP. So now all we can do is run dungeons over and over and play trader in the marketplace.

Why announce a new dungeon and then retract your statement? Even the communication is failing, I wonder if the development team can even communicate among themselves.

Rant over, I would like to see some serious improvements or I’m sad to say I don’t think this game will live much longer. Hire some professionals with all the cosmetics revenue you’ve definitely made. Get some proper new content and mechanics out for us & keep this awesome game alive.

Round 8 Studio and Bandai aren't the same company. Round 8 probably only cares what PC players are saying as of now - or at least that is the vibe people are getting.

I believe Bandai owns the console versions but console is now just a cart being towed behind PC development by the devs at this point. That is because Round 8 (the devs) own the PC revenue.

Expect bugs, instability, and slowdowns on consoles to increase over time as this becomes evermore of PC revenue driven shit show. The devs now have to make back all the time spent developing the console version by pandering to newbie PC players. So that new dungeon you want - not really a priority for the devs.

This game died when it wasn't more PvP focused out of the gate. And I totally agree - the Pen Helm and PvP defensive secondary weapon requirements are stupidly high and discouraging for PvP minded newbs. They created week one player Gods with those and nobody wants to get beat up for months just to be competitive against that shit now. They should do away with PvP gear entirely to let more people be competitive in PvP. All the protectionist will say no because they played RB to get them but that mindset just holds back more players from playing in PvP.

Round8 wants to do things right, but Neowiz owns them and makes all executive decisions. And Neowiz always reaching to do things they don't have the budget to complete is how they killed Bless Online. Bandai is kind of the 3rd wheel and doesn't get to make design decisions. But they do listen to our feedback and try to convince Neowiz to do what is best for us.
