Black Desert Online is receiving new content and updates in 2018. The highlights of the updates are a region with dragons and a comprehensive graphics update.
Black Desert Online is the online role-playing game with the most stunning graphics and the most detailed character editor. It’s hard to believe that the developers want to make everything even more beautiful and magnificent. However, as previously announced, the makers of Black Desert at Pearl Abyss are working on a comprehensive graphics update, which is reportedly already largely completed.
Black Desert Online is planning more innovations for 2018.
Black Desert Online is set to become more beautiful & extensive
JaeHee Kim, the lead producer of Black Desert Online at Pearl Abyss, spoke with InvenGlobal about the upcoming changes in Black Desert Online. Kim revealed that the graphics update is already 60-70 percent complete.
This is intended to make Black Desert Online look like a new game. However, the performance will not be affected. If players prefer the old graphics despite the new splendor, they can disable the graphics update if they wish.
The improved graphics will likely shine particularly in the planned new area “Dregan”. There, you will be hunting dragons in 2018, as the giant lizards will be opponents that you can defeat. However, you will need groups to effectively take down a dragon.
More PvP, mini-games, and a leaner client
JaeHee Kim also had more information about planned innovations and changes in Black Desert Online:
- There will be revisions of the existing content. Black Desert will receive more mini-games for resource gathering, including a form of Minesweeper.
- The tutorial will be more detailed and informative.
- There will be an “Action Mode” which hides almost all UI elements and only shows content relevant to combat.
- A 3D mini-map that shows elevations and depths is also planned.
- A feature will be introduced that allows you to label your items with your name.
- A so-called “tag system” is firmly planned. This allows you to switch your active character on-site with another of your characters without having to log out each time. However, there will be a cooldown for this feature.
- There will be PvP guild battles that allow not only large-scale battles but also modes for 20vs20 and 5vs5. There will also be possibilities for solo players and small guilds to participate in such battles.
- Every player will receive an NPC maid as a Christmas gift.
- The new class “Ran” is coming.
- The game client will be leaner, decreasing from 51 to 27 gigabytes.
The developers of Black Desert also plan to finally reveal the secret stats. There has been considerable outrage on Reddit recently, as Pearl Abyss had posts deleted on this topic.
