Dear Adventurers,

This announcement is regarding the recent banwave that took place during the maintenance on March 27th, 2019. After the banwave was implemented, we found that some players have been wrongfully banned. The bans on the affected accounts have now been overturned.

We would like to offer our deepest apologies for making a critical mistake on our part.
We are taking this issue very seriously and are committed to taking measures to prevent such a mistake in the future. We will also reassess our ban process and procedures to ensure it will not happen again.

We are truly sorry that this occurred and would like to offer a sincere token of apology by compensating those who were wrongly affected by the banwave. The compensation will be sent out individually and we hope that your trust can be regained in due time. We ask for your patience as distributing the compensation may take a little bit more time.

Once again, we are deeply sorry for this mistake and ask for your kind understanding.

- The BDO Team

Greetings Adventurers,

Rumours are spreading like wildfire in the world of Black Desert Online this week. Is Santo Manzi as tough as he seems or does he sleep with a stuffed bear at night? Nothing seems as it is... that is why with this week’s patch note we would like to introduce the new event "True or False". Every day, players will have to track down a rumor, and depending on the answer, special prizes will be awarded to those who chose the least popular option, so beware and do not get yourself fooled!

System:

• Added a feature at the Warehouse which allows you to automatically recover items back to your Warehouse when items occasionally disappear. (Items can occasionally disappear due to network connectivity issues while attempting to register/list items at the Central Market.)
  
  
• When failing to move items from the Inventory/Storage to the Warehouse (or vice versa), you will now be able to proceed to the next process.
  
  • However, failures due to the volume limits or due to connectivity issues with the Central Market will result in a waiting time like before.

Node War Changes:

• Tier 1 Nodes are now divided into Easy, Medium and Hard levels, each calibrated to enforce different max AP and DP caps.
  
  
• We hope that this change will make Node Wars more accessible to newer Guilds, and Guilds first venturing into the Node War scene. These max AP and DP caps for each node was implemented to provide a more obtainable goal as adventurers participate in Node Wars.
  
  
• This system was first implemented in the Black Desert Global Lab on February 28th, and tier 1 nodes were divided based on your feedback. Tier 1 Nodes are now divided into Easy, Medium and Hard levels, each with different AP and DP restrictions.
  
  
• The max AP and DP calibrations will be applied to skills performed by characters and their summons in PvP, but not when they are mounted on guild mounts or siege weapons. Damage reduction rate will be calculated without taking in the DP calibrations into account.
  
  
• Please note that the new AP and DP calibrations will be applied to all those who are in an area in which a Node War for a Tier 1 Node is taking place.

• The amount of Node War individual rewards, Shining Medal of Honor, increased for the wins for each tier. Also, adventurers in the top 5% in regards to Contribution will receive more medals depending on the tiers.
  
  • Adventurers who are a part of a guild and join a Node War can obtain the Shining Medal of Honor by clicking on the rewards button after a Node War has ended. (The Node War in which the guild has participated must end in order for the adventurer to receive the rewards.)
    
  • Adventurers who do not accept the rewards after the end of a Node War cannot participate in the next Node War.
    
  • The number of medals you can obtain are like the following.
    
    

Updated 21/03/2019:

We would like to provide a little more information about the max AP/DP caps which were implemented for Tier 1 Node Wars.

Tier 1 Node Wars are now divided into Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each difficulty level has its own max AP/DP caps.

We'll take a look at a Tier 1 Easy Node War as an example.

For Easy Tier 1 Node War, the max AP cap is 230 and the max DP cap is 260.

Adventurers who have higher AP and DP than the max cap can still participate in the Easy Tier 1 Node War, but their AP and DP stats will be calibrated down to match the max AP and DP cap of the Easy Tier 1 Node War. These adventurers CANNOT receive AP and DP buffs from consumables such as food or elixirs (draughts). (However, the Damage Reduction Rate buffs will still be applied).

Adventurers who have stats below the max AP and DP cap CAN receive buffs from consumables such as food, elixirs, or Alchemy Stones to buff their stats up to the max caps.

The Damage Reduction Rate for DP will still apply for the sake of the adventurers who are mainly equipped with DP items rather than AP items.
