Pearl Abyss Executive Producer Jae-Hee Kim has a new Black Desert letter out for western players – apparently he’s aiming to make the letters a pattern. This one’s all about next week’s update, which will “change some of the features in the game that [the devs] personally think need reconfiguring.”

First up: the weight limit, which Kim says “has always been a source of inconvenience for many newcomers.” Junk items looted in multiple territories and level bands will see weight reduction. Moreover, the penalty applied by being overweight will also be reduced: “With the new upcoming change, adventurers will only experience decrease in attack speed.”

Second, fort and command post construction will be simplified too, with faster construction time, no worker allocation required, and no need to solicit help from guildies too. The idea there is to “reduce the inconvenience and stress” as well as “greatly increase participation” in node and siege wars.

Finally, monster-hunting will become lucrative again, with improved drops of PRI or DUO enhancement items.

It’s all coming next week, so jot that down in your calendar!
