No apologies -- it's all good.

Well took a while but finally showing up PvE love.

I was just thinking the other day that Air Ships would be cool.

These people simply just know how to make a successful game.

Keep up the good work.

And what kind of gear will be needed? Most people hate the rng upgrade to not have enough for even the desert, nvm the new content in Kamasylvia.

Are they increasing gear enchants? I mean seriously is it going to still be in the +18/20 bracket desert and Kamasylvia is... so most will not even touch it and still never leave pirates/susans. It really stops me getting excited for new content for this game unless its a new class.

I had to laugh at the end of the video when the world "Striker" appeared across the screen. Seemed a bit much.

I actually think they could have just used the word Monk.

Still, looks great and the additions sound good.

I like the idea of allowing for solo players to join a fight. I've always thought that these games should allow guilds to hire mercenaries to tip the balance in siege warfare.

isn't the ninja already a close quarters one on one specialist? .... the warrior is close quarters mele, the beserker, the Valkyre, the dark knight, the Musa......I really don't see how this "new" class brings anything new at all. I mean i can think of 10 other classes i'd rather see before ONE OTHER close quarter melee dps class. what about a dedicated healer? what about a necromancer? what a bout a dot class? what about a shape shifter? what about a turret(or totems) class. there are soo many incredibly cool class concepts out there.....but nope. go with more of the same (except with fists instead of knives). I swear Korean games have the worst imagination when it comes to diversified and interesting playstyles. it drives me bonkers how they can make such pretty and detailed games, and then pick the most bland classes ever.

They are resisting putting in range and dot classes for some reason. 

Good to see some new PvE content.  I didn't make it into the new areas much before I quit.  The one time I wondered into the new content (the first area past the base game geography) I couldn't kill anything.

Let me know when Pearl Abyss reveals reasonable changes to their cash shop pricing model, and increased in-world gear and costume acquisition rather than through their cash shop. Now that will be a big reveal.  I won't be holding my breath waiting for it.

The dark knight and striker?  Pearl Abyss will be implementing my two favorite class types within a year of each other.  One of the biggest reasons I couldn't get into BDO was that none of the classes were appealing to me.  I've seen comments claiming that these classes bring nothing new to the game but they might be a game changer for me.

In what way do you think they will be a game changer ?

Radoo

Sigh.
The most disappointing title to date has finally announced updates about "content"
No shit? !

I wonder how many years it will take in order for this game to reach the actual release state.

Because as it was released more than a year ago it was just another rush to milk the kiddies.
If you think I'm being far too negative about it, then take into consideration a buy to play title that has all of its features incomplete or buggy to say the least; from the character creator that crashes your client and its numerous glitches and visual issues, to the marketplace and its many nonsensical spammy or limited parameters, pathfinding ...more like obstaclefinding, shallow class systems with 0 customization options and all the other stuff thrown in, at a choppy, unfinished state.

Not to mention the lack of player interaction or overpriced shop items.

I imagine both those classes resonate more with him, makes him actually "want" to play as they are more his taste.

When they remove "XinggCode" which installs that damn Xhunter1.sys file into my PC and runs even while the game isn't running?.... I removed the game off my system when it finally did this and I noticed the file there and driver running without the game which isn't a real driver. ***This should be one of the improvements they make.***

That video took from FFXIV new expac video.

That class looks awesome.

I've been playing one the hardest classes(Sorc) and I have to go areas 7-10 level higher to make it even a challenge. Things die way too fast before I can even complete the combo.

IMO brawler not monk.

This is a street fighter melee mixed with martial arts - so sort of a MMA fighter that also has energy attacks.

Monk wouldnt have street fighting/brawliing style 

Sounds good to me. Certainly better than "Striker".

Lack of Player trading is still a lack of interest for me.

It frustrates RMT'ers even more, which is more to the point.
