Alright, so I’ve been digging into this “War of the Roses” thing in Black Desert Online, and let me tell you, it’s a whole mess of fun and chaos. I heard about it a while back from some update notes on Global lab, and it sounded pretty epic, so I decided to give it a shot.
First off, you gotta sign up for this thing. It’s not just something you stumble into. You go to the ESC Menu, hit up the War section, and then you’ll find the “War of the Roses.” That’s where the magic starts. And oh boy, some guilds and alliances can even apply to be the big shots, the “Leading” ones. I saw a few familiar names up there when I was poking around. I tried to apply to be a “Leading” guild, I hope I can be selected.
Once you’re in, it’s a wild ride. I mean, you get chosen as a Lieutenant, and suddenly you’ve got some serious power. It’s pretty cool, not gonna lie. There’s this new tactical map that pops up when you join, and it’s like a whole new way to look at the game. I spent a good chunk of time just figuring that thing out, it’s pretty detailed.
Now, the captains, these guys are the real deal. They can use these faction skills to take over sanctums and some altar thing. It’s like a strategic mini-game within the game. I saw one captain totally flip the script on a battle by grabbing a sanctum at just the right time. It was nuts!
- Signing Up:
- Hit up the ESC Menu.
- Go to War (F7).
- Find “War of the Roses.”
- Getting In:
- Wait to be chosen (fingers crossed!).
- If you’re a Lieutenant, you get some cool powers.
- Playing the Game:
- Check out the new tactical map.
- Watch out for captains using their skills.
- Try to seize those sanctums!
I’ve only scratched the surface, really. There’s so much going on in this “War of the Roses.” It’s like, you think you know Black Desert, and then boom, they throw this massive, strategic war at you. I’ve been playing for a few weeks now, and I’m still figuring stuff out. I even tried to become a leading guild. Wish me luck!
Honestly, if you’re into Black Desert and you haven’t checked out “War of the Roses,” you’re missing out. It’s a whole new level of gameplay. It might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, it’s a blast. I’m still learning, so it is a long way to go, but that’s part of the fun, right?
So yeah, that’s my take on it so far. It’s a wild ride, full of surprises, and definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared to lose a few hours here and there, because once you start, it’s hard to stop. I even dreamed about those tactical maps last night!
