There seem to be a lot of new players atm or people complaining about aspects of the game...so I'm gonna share some observations that may help.

1- the game is still pretty new to xbox, stuff is bugged and the community is finding new bugs all the time, just submit a ticket and stick with it- whining the game is unfair or slagging of the devs is petulant.

2- their are some big egos in bdo.. some talk smack some will belittle you and generally be unkind.. it's a game that is competitive, ignore them or learn from your mistakes, while it would be great if every one were nice and respectful that isn't the world we live in, especially when your effectively anonymous.

3- pvp will happen, you will die. Unless you remain under level 50 someone is gonna kill you at some point..some will kill you for what seems to be no reason (normally you are intruding on a grind spot) some will kill you because of the guild your in and some will kill you just for fun or to set out a rotation. Don't get mad. Fight win lose or draw have fun. Don't hold grudges and learn from each fight what you did right or wrong. Also 90% of fights wont be fair..most people wont start a fight unless they think they can win.

4- life Skilling and pve are great goals in bdo, but by ignoring any aspect of bdo you are missing a big and often fun part of the game.. focus on what ever you enjoy but try not to limit yourself by defining yourself as a pure anything. This includes pvp.. without grinding and life skills you can't keep up with the upgrades.

5- a lower level alt is the only way to safely gather and life skill with no risk of being pk'ed. But a bit of risk adds to the spice for many people

6- a good guild and group to play with can make a HUGE  difference to the fun you have and even your safety, people are a lot less likely to randomly attack a group of 3 or 4 people grinding or gathering than a solo player. Being social is a huge help.

7- if your finding the game is to grindy or your not making progress as youd like.. do something else for a bit. The game will be going for years unless you are trying to burn out or compete in the top 5 % on pvp.. mix things up keep it fresh and do what's fun.

8- there is no best class..all have strong and weak points, learning to exploit those points is what takes practice.

Congratz but eventually someone will beat you. It's a when not an if, but if you win as much as you claim great for you ?
