    Hello dear Devs, hello dear Community,

    my topic today will be about the monster Damage buff at night time while Grinding endgame spots like Stars End / Sycraia Abyss, those are the two i mainly visit to farm. I've talked to some of my Guildies about that and came to the conclusion that it might need a change to be somewhat useful, interesting or whatever.

    For me it is really hard to Grind Stars End at Night to a point i rather avoid since theres little to none benefits for going through the hassle grinding at night.
    Sycraia on the other hand is impossible for me aswell to some other Guildies.

    My Suggestion therefore is, either reduscing Monster AP at night to a Point where it can be considered Harder but not impossible or granting worthwhile benefits for those who take the Struggles grinding there at night for example: 100% Drop Buff. Which i would totaly do.

    For now all i do when i see its close to night time is that i switch chars.

    with kind regards

    Yes, please make the extra monster damage during night to be worth it and add increased drop rate at night on all servers.

    It would be quite nice, for future reference, if you make a search for the topic you are interested in sharing.
    Just to make a point this topic in particular has already been shared at least two times now, and all in all the outcome of it was, that it is indeed a favourable thing to "grind" during the night-time cycle, since there is an actual increase in loot drops, and while it might be difficult to "feel" that, especially at the "end-game" areas, it is still mainly due to the Random nature of loot drops in general in this game.

    Also this has been discussed quite a lot, the "problems" with the "end-game" in general, in Black Desert Online. You see that is the very notion behind the game, to keep players at it for what seems like forever, gaining little progress and paying money in order to make the progression feel more overcomeable.

    If it "feels" as if you aren't gaining much at all when you have reached the "end-game" stage, then it is because it was SUPPOSED to take you more than a year to get there in the first place. We just happen to be blessed here on GamezBD. So while there might be some tweaks to be made in general to fix bugs and classes, more up-to-date content, and so on, there is no argument about just how quickly players can progress here :)

    So,just to be clear,u are saying that there is indeed a drop buff to night-time(atleast according to the devs) but we do not know how much? i understand that even having a +100% drop buff is still in most cases a difference between 0.010%(without buff) chance and 0.011%(with 100% buff) chance,so its hardly noticeable.
    Then again,even if i were to grind at nighttime in gameZ end-game spots ash forest/stars end/sycraia,some paper classes just get killed instantly,even without cc's and 360dp+,so it can be far too annoying for a small buff

    Yeah I guess you are right about that @syc89, and it is a problem, but it might be somewhat better/easier if you tried doing it in a party. Just saying that the monsters would have a minimum of two sources of damage, and could also be "distracted" if there were more than just one player there.

    Just a minor correction on the math, 100% is basically adding the same number on top the first number, so it would be 0,001% + 0,001% = 0,002%. However as you yourself stated, the drop rates are REALLY low to begin with, and here on GamezBD we get a whopping +1000% to loot-drop rates.
    That would make a 0,001% x10 = 0,01%, I get that it is still low, but then add another, I dunno, maybe 50% at night, and it becomes only slightly higher as you mentioned; 0,015%

    There is no buff in drop that applies only during night, neither in KR, neither in retail, neither here.
    Just because GamezBD already has 1000% drop increase, it doesn't mean that everyone who tries to grind during night in end-game areas, should have a hard time for no reward compared to day time.
    Based on your logic, we should not even have ARSHA +50% drop rate, no item drop rate scrolls, no ecology buffs, just because the drop rates are already high here. Well, your logic sucks.

    The content updates or balances are not going to be delayed if the devs decide to give a small drop rate buff during night-time.

    The OP requested that the increased difficulty to be rewarded somehow. 0.011% is still better than 0.010%. Picking a red ball from a bowl that has 10 red balls and 10 blue balls has more chances if you add 1 extra red ball. That is what random means. It's ok if someone like you didn't manage to reach enough AP to grind ASH/SYCRAIA or other areas during night to see that the extra difficulty is there for NOTHING.

    On top of this you are trying to make the request to look like a joke with your silly comments. Since you have no idea what you are talking about, it would be nice if you would stay out of topics that you don't understand and stop giving irrational arguments.
    Just because you are suggesting to grind a non-party content in a party ... that says everything.

    Where did you get that information from?
    Where did you get that from, and what exactly do you think "my logic" is?
    I really have no idea what you are on about here, except for aggroing out on me, since I have not made Any jokes at all, nor have I said that I didn't take the Original Post seriously.
    Then once again you just go off, and make personal accusations without any substantial proof of what you are saying, making it into a personal attack instead of trying to add the thread.
    Also what the heck is wrong with suggesting Partying up with other player to experience some team-work and company?
