Daum Answers A Ton Of Questions About BDO In New Q&A

In a new video interview with Daum's CM_Jouska and Rick Van Beem, Pvt Wiggles manages to get a number of answers about matters that the community sees as pressing. Some of the more general points mentioned are that the game has garnered much more interest than Daum expected and that they believe the cash shop is "fine as-is," as it allows them to release all content updates for free. The region lock is part of their contract with Pearl Abyss and will not be changed.

In terms of game content, the Mediah update will be releasing "very soon," although an estimated date was not given. The classes that have yet to be released still do not have release dates and they may release in a different order than they did in other regions. Daum is aware that releasing Awakenings one-by-one could cause balance issues, but has no counter-measure currently.

Various features that are present in the Korean version of the game were also discussed. The ghillie suit counter-measure, flares, is one of their "top priorities" for the Western release. Auto-looping will not be brought over—yet. It was apparently implemented in Korea as a way for players to "catch up" to others and, as such, is not currently necessary. Unfortunately, nothing has been revealed about the pet breeding system as of yet.
