Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on July 7, 2021 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 112 updates and is approximately 1.43 GB.
Events
New and Improvements
● Flashing Light - Fixed the issue where the backward movement of the skill would be shorter if it was used after a particular motion of Bloodthirst: Katana Shower.
We also felt Mermaid skills were weak when it came to combos. So, we made changes to allow smoother comboing with other skills and also adjusted their attack range to make them easier to perform. We also tweaked the Whirling Slash and Storm Surge skills as these attacks were difficult to land on targets. We noticed it was particularly difficult to land hits with Whirling Slash as it didn't have any collision, so we changed this skill to include collisions when performed while moving forward. This will enable forward-moving attacks to land on targets more easily, but be aware that the sideway attacks will still not include collision with targets. As for Storm Surge, we removed the start-up motion so that the skill activates quicker.
● Fixed the issue where she would not start auto-running when T is pressed while stopping to move forward in combat stance.
● Storm Surge - Improved to combo smoother with skills and movements.
● Wipe Out - Fixed the issue where pressing the commands for the skill after using Splashin' Around and Mareca: Jet Stream would activate Overflow instead.
● Flow: After the Storm - Improved to be able to combo with the skills Whirlpool, Crashing Wave, and Mareca: Spiral Soak.
● Flow: After the Storm - Fixed the issue where pressing the commands for the skill after the 2nd hit of Wave Lash would activate Crashing Wave.
● Prime: Wave Lash II - Fixed the issue where the damage reduction was not being applied when using the skill while sprinting or when comboing after Riding Waves.
● Wave Lash - Changed to no longer move forward when using the skill while sprinting.
● Mareca: Sea Stroll, Prime: Mareca: Sea Stroll - Changed how the camera moves to turn towards the character before the last hit.
● Smooth Sailin' - Improved to combo smoothly with Wave Lash when using the skill left or right.
● Riding Waves - Changed to now combo into Wave Lash and Ocean's Pearl regardless of the direction in which the skill was used.
● Smooth Sailin' - Improved to be usable while on cooldown.
● Prime: Wave Lash I-IV - Fixed the issue where the sound effect would not be played when using the skills during their cooldown.
● Mareca: Sea Stroll I-Absolute - Fixed the issue where the last hit would not be performed even when ↓ key was pressed during the skills.

● Splashin' Around - Fixed the issue where the character would attack diagonally when pressing left, right, or back while using the skill.
● Storm Surge - Improved to cast faster by shortening its initial motion.
● Changed some of the camera effects during Black Spirit's Training.
● Fixed the issue where the effect would remain on the serenaca when using Emergency Escape after certain skills.
● Fixed the issue where the sound the character made seemed close when using skills with the mareca at a distance.
● Prime: Mareca: Jet Stream - Improved to combo with Mareca: Whale Song and Mareca: Spiral Soak smoothly after using the skill.
