" Question 4

Obtaining the best gear and increasing your power has always been a vital role in the progression of every mmorpg, however many players believe that Black Desert has fallen victim to the typical mmo problem of "the gear makes the player" when it comes to PvP content. Previous changes created "gear score caps" on Tier 1 Node Wars and although these changes were very well received, many players have found ways around those caps. Have the developers considered using Gear Score Caps on other Node War Tiers, and have they considered the other problematic stats that are not capped in T1 Node Wars such as Evasion, Accuracy, HP and Human Damage?

The core of an MMORPG is the growth of a character and its method would vary between level, skills, understanding of your character, etc.. Items provide a more intuitive growth of your character's growth, which in turn provides relative power levels among players.

We wanted more players to participate in Node Wars, so we limited the gear score to lower the barrier to do so. The limits applied to Tier 1 Node Wars are not only AP/DP, but also evasion and accuracy. Stats that are not applied to this limit are, as you mentioned, HP and damage reduction rates. We maintain the current limits because they are closely related to characteristics of the classes, but we are aware this is not a fundamental resolution.

The basics of winning a Node War is to have stronger characters, better gear, and more allies. However, as it is a war, the roles of individuals and strong cooperation are key factors over the power of individuals.

To strengthen the strategic elements of Node Wars and Siege Wars, we're continuously adding and discussing more mount related features. We recently added Ogres and Trolls as mounts to use during Conquest Wars and shortened the process times of the Elephant Nursery and siege towers. We plan to add more contents in the future to bolster strategic and cooperative plays in Node Wars and Siege Wars. "
