In Black Desert, one begins with a test run for the game’s sieges.
The so-called “Large Scale” PvP, which means battles between players with more than, let’s say, 40 participants, is a typical component of the Asian MMOs that are coming our way in the next few years.
Black Desert has – like ArcheAge or Bless – such a “battles and sieges” mode planned, where many players clash and battle for the ownership of a fortress.
At the beginning, the guilds do not have any fortresses but are competing for one. The guilds can place a large tent and two smaller ones that serve as respawn points, and then they can fight until only one remains. That one takes possession of the fortress and defends it in the next round.
In Black Desert, the first such battle will take place on January 17 on only one server. If everything goes smoothly, the mode is set to be available on the remaining Korean servers starting January 24.
