Thought of a unique idea for BDO!

Hello all! Draconem here, this idea has been burning in my mind for a LONG time, I myself have always enjoyed Gamez's BDO and always will, though I know BDO in general doesn't have dungeons, which got me into a discussion with one of my friends about it. I was hesitant at first but I figured there is a suggestion section, the community is very nice and the Dev's/GM's are very kind and fun to talk to like Lareldal and Noyah (I never got to greet Kolka or the others yet but if they are reading this, I hope they are having a good week and nice to meet you ). I also just figured really why not? Some might like this idea and some might not, besides it just an idea lol.

So I was kind of thinking how would the community and Dev/GM's feel about dungeons being added to the game? Now I know on Official and the KR server there is that "wave" like dungeon (I forget it's name) where you fight waves of enemies until a boss shows up, which is Giath I believe lol. But I was thinking more like certain dungeons in the different areas, like maybe dungeons that you can solo or party up as a maximum of 5 players and it would require a certain amount of AP/DP, you could enter with lower AP/DP then required but you'll be weak in those terms.

And the difficulty varies between the different required AP locations, like the area with the Griffons is 210 AP (I forget that name too, I just came back to BDO lol) Being honest I haven't really found much things to do with people in BDO in general besides World Bosses, farming gear etc. I know there is also Rift's but those are solo-play only, dungeons would be optional of solo or Party-play, more favoring party-play but still.

I haven't figured out anything like names for the dungeons In the locations or loot drops etc because this is just a beta idea. I have to see first if people as well as the Dev's would like this idea first lol. But this isn't a suggestion to "fix" anything, but more like an addition! Let me know how you all feel about this, I don't think of this in a sense as a suggestion but more of a cool idea that I wanted to share with everyone else. :3

 

I would readily agree with the idea of a dungeon, as well as raid, however I do not agree that it should be a solo-able thing, since the whole idea of group activities in general, is to learn how to work together, and to be in a group in the first place.

I am looking forwards to the release of the Altar of ???, here on GamezBD but it is seemingly less and less probable, like the Olympiad-BlackSpirit-main-menu-game, it has been out for more than a year (or two) now, and has yet to be implemented here

But there are Plenty of good places that are possible entrances, Characters interact with the entrance like other places, which lead to instances without respawning, to limit the amount of loot (abuse), and then with increased difficulty for the monsters in there as well as increased rewards, seems like a fantastic idea to me

 

Oh no no no, I didn't mean that it was a solo-thing only, I just meant it was more of an option to give to those who don't like being in groups but want to run dungeons, even as a past time. I did have this idea of having a separate tab for those people, I am debating if it should have a limit like 2 runs daily, while the group one can have a reset time like maybe 5min depending on the difficulty.

I did think of a "tower-like dungeon" for solo only, while the dungeons would be a group-only thing. Kind of like something to challenge yourself with your full PEN gear lol. Though you can enter it without full PEN, it would be another dungeon open to everyone, even to those who don't have PRI-PEN yet, just requires AP rather then levels. It would also have a time limit, more of a challenge to go quickly, of course haven't though of the timer yet but still.

For now consisting of 15 floors, you would keep climbing to the top while fighting off huge amounts of enemies on each floor at certain AP levels like 80AP being floor 1 and 200 AP being like floor 15. Some floors like let's say floors: 5-10-15 would have a boss for you to fight while the other floors has maybe a wave or 2 of enemies. As you go you earn points that tally on a scoreboard, which after daily reset, gives a reward based on how well you did. It would take into account of all enemies killed from floors 1-15, how much time is left on the clock, and well any floor you die at (if you die at all); it will tally those and turn them into a certain amount of points. That's my main idea for a solo-only dungeon.

But yea the whole idea of dungeons in BDO is for groups, and that there isn't a limit on what character you can bring as in you could have 2 healers (I guess Shai or Witch since Witch has a healing ability), and the rest be the others, or have a whole party of nothing but Shai's or something lol. It would be more open to all instead of having a certain limit like only 1 Shai, 1 Mystic, 1 Warrior, 1 Striker, and 1 Witch can join etc. It would allow anyone like 2 Mystics to join if that makes sense? I apologize I didn't make it clear in the first place.

But yea, raid type dungeons would be like 10 players instead of 5 being maximum. And of course would consist of more loot like maybe PRI-DUO Dande gear as well as other boss-like gear/non-boss gear depending on the difficulty. Maybe even consist of materials for different items in the game atm, at least on Gamez. I also thought of loot for normal dungeons like +15 Boss gear drops, but this I just more of the idea. Oh and just like World boss drops, the dungeon would drop the same way so that it would make it fair for everyone in the party to get at least something good from the dungeon.

 

Absolutely love your idea of the "tower-run", especially with the ranking added, for those players who love being able to brag about something

But I did think of a couple myself, last time I was out and about in the game-world;

1. An Ogre Stronghold, for getting more Ogres into one place, making it somewhat easier to get those lovely Ogre-Rings

2. (as you mentioned Boss-spawns) I just thought that in these instances, they might be able to give loot to the "adds" (additional monsters summoned by the Boss)

3. Various places in the game-world, are being horribly underused, so it might be a great idea to introduce some "open-air" like places as well, with truly impressive monsters and of course loot-to-boot
