Pearl Abyss blijft Crimson Desert verbeteren met een nieuwe update die inspeelt op feedback van spelers. Eén van de grootste kritiekpunten — het gebrek aan permanente mounts — wordt nu eindelijk aangepakt.
Nieuwe mounts eindelijk beschikbaar
Waar eerder werd gesuggereerd dat spelers dieren zoals wolven en beren konden temmen, bleek dat in de praktijk niet mogelijk. Daar komt nu verandering in.
De update voegt meerdere nieuwe mounts toe:
- Legendary Animals: White Bear, Silver Fang en Snowwhite Deer
- Boss mounts: Rock Tusk Warthog en Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex
Deze mounts kunnen na vrijspelen permanent worden opgeroepen en zelfs meegenomen worden naar steden. Spelers die de Legendary Animals al eerder hebben gevangen, krijgen deze automatisch toegevoegd via de Extra Rewards List.
Quality-of-life verbeteringen
Naast mounts brengt de update ook diverse praktische verbeteringen:
- Private storage chest in Howling Hill Camp verplaatst naar Kliff’s tent
- Nieuwe “Make Now”-optie voor koken zonder handmatig ingrediënten te selecteren
- Gliden kost minder stamina
- Lagere stamina-kosten voor aerial abilities
Deze aanpassingen maken de gameplay een stuk soepeler en minder omslachtig.
Sneller gear upgraden
Een opvallende toevoeging is de nieuwe Refinement Token. Hiermee kun je equipment direct upgraden naar Stage 4 zonder extra materialen.
Wel blijft er een vereiste: spelers moeten bepaalde quests voltooien om deze tokens te verkrijgen.
Minder straf voor criminaliteit
Ook het crimes-systeem is aangepast. Spelers verliezen voortaan geen Contribution meer als er geen NPC in de buurt is om de misdaad te zien.
Oftewel: bandietenkampen plunderen zonder gevolgen — zolang niemand je ziet.
Blijvende verbeteringen
Met deze update laat Crimson Desert zien dat Pearl Abyss actief luistert naar feedback en de game blijft verfijnen.
Hoewel sommige punten, zoals cooldowns op bepaalde mounts, nog aandacht vragen, is dit opnieuw een stap in de goede richting voor de open-world RPG.
