The latest patch of Black Desert brought the “Node Wars” with it, where players can now build siege weapons to assert their claims.
Weekly Battles for Entire Regions in Black Desert
The latest patch of Black Desert sounds the drums of war a bit, as players can now participate in the “Node Wars” to contest areas against each other. While there are small skirmishes every day over individual “nodes”, there is also a battle for larger areas once a week, where the claim of rule over entire territories is established. As is fitting for battles in this format, players can rely on siege weapons. In order for the siege weapons to have a target at all, players can build fortifications to withstand the onslaught of the enemy.
Exactly how the process of such a battle takes place has been explained on the official game’s website in a very detailed guide. Those who have 30-60 minutes and want to delve deeper into the system should read it there (and then become an expert in warfare).
Meanwhile, in the Korean version of the game, many steps have already been taken further, and a lot of “marine content” has now been implemented. Players can sail the seas with ships, must fight against sea monsters, or can salvage sunken treasures. If all this is too boring, they can simply declare themselves a pirate, send other players to Davy Jones, and plunder their ships. A little taste of that is provided in the following trailer.
When sea battles will come to the European version of the game is still open. A statement from Kakao Games (Daum) is still pending.
