Node War Revamp
Since it was first added to the Black Desert World, ‘Node War’, which has experienced big and small changes with adventurers, is about to change once more.
This Node War reorganization focused on easing the difficulty of participation, active and healthy battles, and convenience.
Accordingly, we expect that the revamped Node War will change in a way that allows for lighter preparations and fiercer battles.
We plan to listen to the opinions of adventurers from various regions and make changes in the newly reorganized Node war.
Black Desert Node War is content enjoyed by many adventurers as it has a long history, so we will provide you with a more interesting Node war.
♬ Check out the update along with the Node war BGM!
