Black Desert Online, one of the world’s newest fantasy based MMO has already gotten its first patch. The game was launched on March 3 and the patch came shortly after. The developers announced a rather large amount of fixes for the game after some of the game’s first players noticed issues such as the warriors’ skills not functioning correctly. The patch is also geared to make some of the monsters in the game that seemed to be rather oblivious, more vigilant now.
Not all the fixes are about how combat works or what kind of abilities you’re going to have when you go into combat. There were also issues like an alarm going off every time a player’s item count went up. That issue and a ton of other smaller things that make the game hard to play have all been fixed. The patch notes for the game were posted on the official Black Desert Online forum and you can check them out below:
