Real insight into BDO balance and Kakao's future for the Valkyrie class.
| 00:00 - 00:05 | Recently, we heard a lot of complaints about the Valkyrie class. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Players are desperately pleading for buffs, |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | saying that the class is severely underpowered. |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | The GMs promised to convey their suggestions and grievances to us. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | So we buffed Glaring Slash and Divine Power. |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | "Buffs" |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | For real |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | They really thought we would buff Valks |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | What idiots! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | They wanted frontal guard on Death Line Chase |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | and superarmor on Purifying Lancia. |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | That's some pretty wishful thinking. |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | They were actually serious! |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | May Elion bless their souls. |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | To add insult to injury, |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | we added frontal guard to Shining Dash, |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | a skill they never use! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Better than nothing, right? |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | They could just reroll warrior, |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | which is what they should have done in the first place. |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | But they won't because of waifus |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | and boob physics. It's always the tits. |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Okay, back on topic. |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | We take game balance very seriously. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | That we do. |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | Just look at AP/DP scaling! |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | The definition of balance. |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | You can go full DP |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | and still get rekt by some 170 AP warrior. |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Valks can tank |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | Tank the floor that is. |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | That's still a role! |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | We sleep well at night, |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | knowing we try our hardest to balance the game. |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | For example, we recently reduced the WP cost of SoJ. |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | The WP cost? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Yes indeed! |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | It was clear that lack of WP was Valk's biggest issue. |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | No Herbal Potions from vendor, remember? |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | Therefore we wanted to make Valk's life easier. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Do Valks really use that much WP? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | No, but we just wanted to include Valk |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | in the patch notes from time to time. |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | So people think we didn't forget about them. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | The goal is to get their hopes up first. |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Retards will believe anything. |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | We're planning buffs to Severing Light next patch. |
