Black Desert Online received a patch in Korea that introduced new super skills for the Berserker and the Sorceress, and significantly improved leveling in the endgame. The ascent from level 56 to 60 is now significantly faster. This pleases casual players but may annoy hardcore gamers.
The sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online is generally a bit ahead in its home country of South Korea compared to here. Therefore, patch news from Korea is a good indicator of upcoming changes in the game that players in Europe can look forward to or at least prepare for.
According to the latest news from the Korea information site Invenglobal, especially casual players in Black Desert will soon have more joy.
There is reason to rejoice for Berserkers, Sorceresses, and Casuals!
According to Invenglobal and their English translations of the Korean patch notes, there are two major highlights in the current patch from Asia:
- The classes Berserker and Sorceress will also receive the so far known “Absolute Skills” Super-Duper-Mega-Hammer-Killer abilities, which will make your normal weapons as powerful as awakening weapons.
- Leveling from level 56 to 60 is faster. There are reportedly up to 150 percent more XP. According to the English forum of Black Desert Online, a dedicated grinder can achieve level 0 to 60 in just one (!) day.
Leveling Faster – Casuals Will Be Happy, Hardcore Grinders Probably Not
The news about faster leveling has especially pleased players in the forums who do not spend as much time in Black Desert. So all gamers who like to take a look but do not invest a significant part of their time there. A faster level rise without days of grinding is just what they need.
However, some players in the forum are already predicting that hardcore gamers may feel cheated if their days of grinding can suddenly be completed in a fraction of the time.
What do you think? Are such experience point boosts a nice thing or a betrayal of the dedicated players in the game who put in a lot of hard work?
Level 60 as a Soft Cap in Black Desert
Level 60 is a kind of “soft maximum level” in Black Desert – while you can still climb higher, it requires a lot of grinding. Only a few players worldwide have reached level 62, investing thousands of hours. This feat seems to remain as hard as ever.
Black Desert Online has more controversies to offer, as cats could be part of a harsh gambling scheme!
