Black Desert Online already has the new class Shai available. However, there is a catch, as you can only create the new class for now, but not play it.
Which class is it about? Recently at the E3 2019, the new class for the sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online was introduced. The Shai is a cute little support class that throws a boomerang, masters alchemy right from the start, and sets out with three unique donkeys to explore the world.
Moreover, she plays dead when evil bears attack her and is generally a rather cute little thing.
Create Shai now, but don’t play yet
What can be done already? The Shai is in the game starting today, June 19, 2019. You can already create and customize a cute little Shai in the excellent character editor .
Here’s the catch: However, once you are done and have created the Shai, it’s time to stop. Because you can only play the little donkey friend next week, on June 26, 2019.
Why should I create a Shai now? For one, it takes quite a long time to build a character the way you want it in the highly complex editor of Black Desert Online. So it’s useful to be ready beforehand and be able to start right at release.
And all Shai characters created in advance will receive a special accessory and a set of useful items to ease the start of the game.
How is the new class being received by fans: As useful as the Shai may be with her long-awaited support abilities, her look is quite controversial among fans. Many players in the West are bothered by the extremely childlike appearance of the class.
Read here how the community has reacted to the new class in detail:
