The combat in BDO is gorgeous, I loved being about to spin around opponents while dodging their on-coming attacks and unleashing devastating special skill attacks. A soft cap is basically the level you hit that any progress towards the next becomes incredibly difficult and requires long hours of grinding. In BDO there is no set “level cap', but there is something known as a “soft cap” at level 61. I ended up hitting level 50 within 3 days. The level progession went pretty fast thanks to the exp boost and free items that are just given to me as COVID-19 presents from Pearl Abyss.
World of Warcraft and other western MMOs did have grindy, repetitive parts to it, but what tends to retain players is the lore and alternate paths that players can take.Īfter making my character, a tamer who utilizes a big doggo pet, I entered the world of BDO. These repetitive tasks tend to be favorable by the Korean audience while western audiences find it painful.
