Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on August 29, 2024 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 179 updates and is approximately 1.89 GB.

Class Changes

Today’s patch brings an overhaul to the 200% Black Spirit's Rage skill for several classes.

 

The classes affected by this overhaul include: Awakening Warrior, Succession Ranger, Succession Sorceress, Awakening Berserker, Succession/Awakening Tamer, Succession/Awakening Valkyrie, Awakening Witch, Awakening Wizard, Succession Maehwa, Awakening Kunoichi, Succession Dark Knight, Succession Striker, Succession Mystic, Succession/Awakening Lahn, and Awakening Guardian. While we initially aimed to release these changes sooner, additional optimization was necessary to ensure the 200% Black Spirit's Rage skill could be used more frequently and effectively in various scenarios. We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding the delay.

 

Revamped Striker Succession's Prime: Rage Hammer to a skill that destroys all things in front of the character.

 

Alongside the overhaul, we’ve also adjusted the damage output for the 200% Black Spirit's Rage skill across all classes. In PvP, Succession Berserker, which was overwhelmingly powerful, has been nerfed. This adjustment serves as a benchmark for balancing the damage output of other classes to minimize disparities. For PvE, all classes have received a significant damage boost. Additionally, the Speed Reduction debuff during skill use has been removed, and the cooldown has been reduced from 30 minutes to 20 minutes. (But, this cooldown can be further changed according to the PVP circumstances after live update.) We've put a lot of consideration into these changes, and we hope the revamped 200% Black Spirit's Rage skill will be more versatile and enjoyable for all adventurers.

Black Spirit's Rage (200%)

• Adjusted the 200% Black Spirit's Rage skills of all classes as follows.
  
  • Adjusted the damage of Succession and Awakening 200% Black Spirit's Rage skills.
    
    • Main weapon skill damage remains the same as before.
  • Changed so Speed effects are not applied to Succession and Awakening 200% Black Spirit's Rage skill motions.
  • Reduced the cooldown: 30 min -> 20 min.
  • Changed so that mouse movements do not function during 200% Black Spirit's Rage skill use.

Berserker

With today's patch, Succession Berserker has been nerfed. Although we made some adjustments a few weeks ago, we missed certain aspects that resulted in Berserker being far stronger than intended.

 

In the previous patch, we aimed to balance Berserker by tweaking his defensive capabilities through Super Armor while reducing its overall sustainability. However, this inadvertently made Berserker more resilient than planned, and the absence of Stamina restrictions on movement skills, unlike other classes, only worsened the issue. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused to both Berserker adventurers and their opponents.

 

To address these concerns, today's patch brings several adjustments. We have focused on reducing excessive freedom of movement and the unintended resilience in certain situations. Prime: Fearsome Tyrant's DP increase effect has been changed to DP +30 for 10 seconds. Additionally, Prime: Lava Piercer and Prime: Predatory Hunt will now consume Stamina. We apologize once again for any inconvenience caused by our oversight, and we promise to swiftly address other classes that also require urgent improvements.

Guild League Regular Season

The regular season of the Guild League is about to begin.

 

In the previous Guild League, there were several areas that needed improvement. Thanks to the feedback from our adventurers, we were able to make gradual enhancements and successfully conclude the season. We extend our gratitude to all the guilds and adventurers who enjoyed the previous season, and we are committed to making the regular season even more enjoyable for everyone.

 

This regular season of Guild League comes with a few changes.

The most significant updates include changes to the matchmaking score brackets, resurrection methods, and enhanced rewards.

 

Previously, guilds with scores above 1,801 were all matched together,

which led to some dissatisfaction as the number of high-scoring guilds increased.

Now, the maximum score has been raised to 3,801, and the brackets beyond 1,801 have been further subdivided.

 

Additionally, there were instances in the previous season where players would deliberately avoid resurrecting.

To address this, the rules have been changed so that players are automatically resurrected after a certain period.

 

Rewards have also been significantly enhanced to make the content more meaningful for both guilds and individuals.

Notably, guilds that achieve 1st to 3rd place will receive 400 billion Silver in guild funds, along with colored titles and bonus items, to ensure they are duly honored.

While 400 billion Silver may seem substantial, it has been generously set as such before taxes to consider guild member incentives.

 

Moreover, new battlefields, including the area in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace (Geunjeongjeon Hall), have been added to make the experience even more enjoyable.

 

Oh! And during this second season of Guild League, we are also preparing a new update for the Arena of Solare.

We received feedback that the previous Arena of Solare, which lasted only a month, was too short and had room for improvement.

Based on your suggestions, we aim to further develop the Arena of Solare.

 

Arena of Solare was designed to help newcomers to PvP by focusing on "everyone using the same equipment" and "three-person teams for less stressful combat."

While we will maintain this pure approach, we are also preparing to support additional modes using the Arena of Solare system.

 

For example, there will be an mode for those who want to purely prove their skills in 1:1 combat,

and an mode where players can compete using their personally customized equipment.

These modes will come with honorable rewards, providing new goals for more adventurers in PvP.

 

Additionally, we will continue to improve other content such as Red Battlefield, Node War, Conquest War, and War of the Roses based on your feedback.

Thank you.

• The Guild League Regular Season has begun.
