The article with the second most clicks came out during the head start in March. Players with a lot of prior experience from other versions went crazy “To max level in 8 hours – But what to do at 50?” This was a classic news piece that generated a lot of attention at launch: Leveling is quite tedious, are there any shortcuts or tricks?

Our favorite articles about Black Desert
Our favorite news about Black Desert are columns and opinion pieces that appeared in February and March. There we highlighted the peculiarities of Black Desert, both good and bad:
- Black Desert rewards AFK players – That is the problem with Asia ports – the “AFK” theme is quite unusual
- Black Desert: Genderlock – You can’t go to the sushi shop and expect currywurst – controversy about the “Genderlock” topic dominated the discussion on mainstream gaming sites
- Black Desert: The knowledge system, a dead cat and the magical box of meaning – the knowledge system is still unusual for us long-nosed folks
For 2017, Black Desert has a lot planned. New classes and regions are set to come. It will be interesting to see how the title performs in 2017 and how our readers’ interest evolves. A port on PS4 and Xbox One, which has already been discussed multiple times, would certainly be a game changer.
