Supporting Our Adventurers’ Journey
0
Greetings Adventurers!
Today, we’d like to talk to you about “Pearl Abyss’s Support for Your Adventures” which includes in-game benefits and improvements to gameplay in general. Keep reading on to find out what the Pearl Abyss Black Desert Studio is planning on!
Revamped Loyalties Shop (Planned for March 3rd)
We’re working on revamping what’s currently sold in the Loyalties Shop to help our Adventurers have even more fun in their adventures.
By looking at the past data on items sold in the Loyalties Shop, we identified what items were most popular and used this to plan out how we will revamp the shop with items that will help your gameplay. Also, some of the frequently used items won’t be leaving the Loyalties Shop after it’s revamped, so don’t worry about that.
Additionally, once we revamp the Loyalties Shop, we’re planning to make it possible for any Adventurer who enjoy Black Desert to be able to get 200 points from Challenge every day. Afterward, we plan to update ways to obtain additional Loyalties from a variety of rewarding and appropriately demanding “in-game” contents.
Beyond this, we’re also looking to make sure this revamp will become something that will truly be helpful to our Adventurers, so please stay tuned!
Special Items in the Loyalties Shop (Planned for March 3rd)
The revamped Loyalties Shop will also be getting event-like “Special Items” added as well.
These “Special Items” are intended to more quickly match and react to content updates, in-game trends, etc., by us being able to rotate them for specific periods of time.
This will be set up with items that are usually hard to acquire or just helpful in certain situations. However, there may be additional purchase limitations as we have to respect the impact they may have on the in-game economy. As such, we’ll also be carefully considering what items will be sold and other factors to ensure the existing balance is maintained.
Value Pack Improvement (Planned for March 3rd)
Many Adventurers have been requesting this, so we’re thrilled to announce that the Merv’s Palette effect will be added to the Value Pack. Adventurers who purchase Value Packs will no longer need to separately purchase Merv’s Palette.
With Merv’s Palette being added to the Value Pack, we’ll be doing the following for the existing active buffs.
Value Pack Buff: Merv’s Palette buff will be added to remaining Value Pack buff.
Merv’s Palette Buff: Still remaining Merv’s Palette buff will be converted to an item that can be sold for silver.
For more details, please refer to the [Merv’s Palette] notice.
As a side note, we’re also preparing special support items for the Loyalties and Pearl Shop to help as many Adventurers get the Value Pack effect as possible. Stay tuned!
Unlike what was previously announced, the update for the Merv Palette effect being added to the Value Pack will be during the March 3rd maintenance instead of the February 24th maintenance.
New Support Systems are Being Prepared (Planned for March 3rd)
Since the start, the Black Desert Studio has tried to provide new, returning, and existing Adventurers the support systems they need to settle into the game. We’ve implemented improved tutorials, added settlement funds from Igor Bartali, revised the early flow of the game, improved the UI, and our most recent attempt – the introduction of season servers.
But, we won’t be stopping just there; we’re currently preparing new support systems for Adventurers playing Black Desert now and for Adventurers who haven’t even started their journey yet.
These new systems are being developed as content for Adventurers who play Black Desert for a long time or play very actively in mind. Their current stage is at a point where we’re still considering various factors such as their scope, what they include, and how they will work.
As soon as we’re ready to reveal this new support system, you’ll be the first to know, so please stay tuned.
More details about what’s stated above will be provided in future announcements.
We’ll do our best to listen to your valuable feedback and keep improving Black Desert to be as fun as possible.
See you in Black Desert! Happy adventuring!
