Global Lab Patch Notes – 19th August 2021

Two weeks ago, when wearing a camouflage suit, we updated the name so that it is printed as ‘Unknown Adventurer’ instead of disappearing. After this update, many adventurers gave their opinions, and there were many conflicting opinions, such as opinions to remove them altogether, opinions to preserve them, and opinions to release them as they are. Therefore, rather than the current method (as some adventurers have added), we would like to change the direction to a form that strengthens the means to destroy the camouflage. In particular, in the case of flares, it is almost the only means of destruction along with the reagents on the cover, but the movement of using the item was too long to use. In this regard, ‘Rapid Flare’ has been added exclusively for the Black Desert Research Institute. It can be used much faster than conventional flares. At the Black Desert Research Lab, you can receive a ‘Rapid Flare’ through a letter and try it out.

However, this content is for the Black Desert Lab test, and when it is updated on the official server, the content will be partially changed. Existing flares will be changed so that they can be used immediately without movement, and we are also considering adding recipes so that they can be crafted by adding higher-level flares. The upper flares are intended to further alleviate the phenomenon of difficulty in ‘identifying enemies’ due to camouflage clothes, and they can be used immediately without movement and increase the duration and range, or are installed in the form of a flare that acts as a flare in the vicinity for a certain period of time. Please take note of what you are doing.

Hit and resistance values ​​have been added to the limits of Node and Conquest Wars. In particular, in the case of resistance, in order to reduce the burden of setting, the base of the first stage was adjusted to 20-30%, but if it is judged to be excessive, we will consider raising it further. In addition, we are also developing a life limit. It will be a form of limiting the maximum that can be increased by means such as buffs or elixirs, rather than being fixed to a specific value for all adventurers. In the limited Node Wars and Conquest Wars, we will continue to take care in the future so that everyone can enjoy the battle under the same conditions as much as possible.

Hello everyone, this is Black Desert Studio. Today, we would like to share with you the future plans and progress of the character reboot, which many people are curious about and are looking forward to.

First of all, as adventurers know, the character reboot is currently in progress and is being developed with the highest priority. The original plan was to complete the development and release all the characters, but we are going to change that direction and share the development process through the Black Desert Lab every week and receive feedback by providing an environment where you can play directly. Therefore, on September 2nd, the first update will be applied through the Black Desert Lab.

Many of you may be curious about the reboot order, but the first target character is going to be a warrior. This is because we decided to proceed in the order of the oldest character, and we want to keep this standard as much as possible, but the order may change depending on the situation.

In the case of applying the official server (live server), we aim to apply it at once after all target characters have been applied to the Black Desert Research Lab. Now that it’s a full-fledged start, I’ll leave many possibilities open and focus on moving forward quickly.

Lastly, I think you are most curious about how it will be improved.

First of all, we will review each skill, including succession and awakening, and adjust performance (attack range, attack speed, hit, etc.) as needed. Additional content is added depending on each character’s characteristics or current status.

In particular, in the case of Awakened Warrior, operation fatigue and difficulty due to too fast frame cancellation and frequent main weapon switching will be improved in a large frame, and in addition, we want to change even the limited performance in PvE focusing on knockdown and down attack. This is the direction, and we will guide you in detail along with the Warrior-related updates.

Character reboots are one of the hottest topics in Black Desert these days. We, too, are nervously working on the development to meet the expectations of adventurers. Let’s do it one by one.

Some people say, “Isn’t it trying to make all the characters strong?” The result of the reboot may not be perfect. Adventurers may not like it. However, we do not give up until the very end and try to make constant modifications in a way that will satisfy as many adventurers as possible. We ask for your support and reprimand.
