Tree bosses are all the rage this spring in MMOs, and Black Desert’s got one too. Oh, did I say tree boss? I meant terrifying runic entish-behemoth from the deepest, darkest bowels of the earth.

“A new world boss Mirumok Destroyer Offin has been added” and will appear on regular servers on Fridays, Kakao says. “A world message will be shown notifying the appearance of Mirumok Destroyer Offin and the actual boss will come out 30 minutes after the message. After the world message of the appearance of Mirumok Destroyer Offin is displayed, it is not possible to interact with Offin using the Ancient Contract: Mirumok Watcher.” You’ll have to defeat him within 15 minutes of spawn or he’ll become even more powerful (womp, womp). And yes, there’s gobs of loot for everyone, with even more reserved for the top 30 finishers.

Today’s update also adds several events – this is Black Desert we’re talking about, after all – including “Time is Gold and Brings You Treasure” and “It’s Raining Enhancements.” The former begins tomorrow rather than today; the latter is intended as a catch-up mechanism for newer players.

Finally, the game has seen several combat tweaks: Freezing now counts as crowd control and is subject to the crowd control count system; grapple skills see a big damage buff; and the damage increase rate of air attack has been nerfed.

Meanwhile, Kakao published a list of guild forts it’s recently deleted as a result of the ongoing server disconnection mess.

“We know how important node wars are for competitive guilds, and are doing everything we can to provide a smooth experience for our players. Unfortunately, the NA servers had experienced some technical difficulties last night Node War where Mediah 1 had to be restarted. We are also aware that some of the participating guilds have their forts stuck and require to be uninstalled by the developers, which unfortunately cannot be done until May 2nd regular maintenance. We are looking into this case currently and also planning out a compensation. Details of this will follow with future notice.”
