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.
