Global Lab Updates – 7th June 2024

Class Changes

All Classes

Last week, through the Black Desert Research Institute, we announced changes to the number of hits for class skills, an overhaul of the accuracy/evasion system, and an overhaul of the damage reduction system.
The information we have introduced is being prepared for application to the official server through modifications and supplements.

Regardless of the amount of data prepared, this task is a very important matter that applies to all adventurers and is the basis of the game system.
We are currently checking more carefully and in depth.
However, we aim to apply it quickly without delay.

Currently, there are some regrets about the lack of content updates and about the node/conquest battles that many people have commented on, but we are reviewing all of them.
Please note that the goal of adjusting the number of hits is to be applied sequentially, starting with Korea.

We will continuously review all aspects that apply along with adjusting the number of hits and respond quickly. thank you

The skill accuracy rate of some classes and the accuracy rate of pets/summons have been changed, and the accuracy rate increase/decrease effect has been changed accordingly.
- The accuracy rate increase effect that all characters gain from using skills has been unified to a maximum of 6%.
  - Accordingly, all characters’ skill accuracy rates have been adjusted. (However, the standards for the maximum number are the same as before.)

As the number of hits and balance adjustments for the class continued, adjustments were also made to combat while riding a horse.
In the case of mounted combat, several skills of the class can be used.
As a result, as time passed and skill reorganization or balance adjustments were made, the detailed balance of horseback combat was too easily broken, and it was decided that balancing horseback combat separately was not the answer.
So, we believe that horseback combat needs a major overhaul.
It’s a big disappointment because I think horseback combat is one of the attractions that can be enjoyed in Black Desert, but it has inevitably been changed so that skills cannot be used on horseback.
It may take time, but in the future, we will be able to present new horseback combat to adventurers in a better way.

It has been changed so that skills other than left-click attacks cannot be activated while riding a horse.

Accordingly, the descriptions of related skill controls and effects have changed.
