Not always are monsters to blame for the death of our characters. In Black Desert, certain areas can lead to death all on their own …
A Maid, Lost in the Desert
Most MMORPG game worlds are limited in some form. Most of the time, you will eventually encounter invisible walls, gigantic rock formations block the way, or a rapidly depleting exhaustion bar diminishes the explorer’s drive. But why not transfer the mechanics of these inhospitable areas to real zones? This is what Black Desert does: True to the name of the game, characters suffer from heatstroke as soon as they venture too far into certain deserts during the day without cooling down – or they freeze at night if they do not keep warm.
This results in players exploring such zones much more slowly, creating a whole different threat – just “going afk” will probably be difficult here. The YouTuber Steparu has taken the time to explore the hot deserts of the game a bit more closely and gives some insights into the inhospitable zones of the game world.
The environment almost invites you to linger – as long as there is enough cooling in the inventory, it’s not a problem at all.
