After years of loyalty and dedication to this game, even as a pvp player it has come to my realisation, that this company does not care about the regions outside of korea.

If you are a PVE player the game is fine and i recommend you to keep playing. As a pvp player this game has reached an all time low for me with the new updates and changes that they made in the game.

It all started when they killed openworld pvp. There was a system in place that a guild could dec a guild without having the other gm of that guild needing to accept it. Which resulted in a lot of fun guild v guilds open world skirmishes. They sent out an update that the opposite guild has to accept your war so the only viable openworld pvp is arsha.

Now a week ago they released a new update which revamped the nodewar system. Nodewars are basically guilds/alliances fighting each other to get a node on the map which leads to being able to do a siege war for the region every Saturday. It was a good system, it had some flaws but most people enjoyed it. There were multiple tiers like uncapped gear (Tier 5) to capped gear (Tier 4/1) guilds made their own discords to do diplo and manage fights.

Now the update basically made all that stuff obsolete. All you do now is press a region you want to war on and then its king of the hill. There is no more strategy involved and all you have to do is bodythrow with 30 to 70 people on a fort that is pre placed to get it. Better yet the time you have to keep that fort varies so its RNG also when the nodewar stops.

I can guarantee that if Pearl abyss does not reverse the changes for the EU and NA regions pvp will collapse and be no more.
