In the Korean MMORPG Black Desert, a new desert zone called Valencia has gone live, which also presents players with climatic challenges.
Asia-MMO specialist Steparus’s love for Black Desert has noticeably cooled, but he has taken on the new region of Valencia in some videos. There is an interesting weather phenomenon here: In the heat of the scorching sun, players must consume filtered water to avoid heatstroke. At night, they need a special tea to prevent frostbite. Both liquids can be crafted if players have gathered resources.
While Steparu praises the beautiful landscape in the new zone, the patch has offered little to keep him entertained. Steparu, the main source of information in the West for what is happening in distant South Korea, has been complaining for months about a lack of group content in Black Desert.
