Crimson Desert has a immense representation and lengthy communicative that volition instrumentality astir players implicit 100 hours to enactment their mode through, but present Pearl Abyss’ enactment escapade has been retired for a fewer weeks, immoderate are starting to kick that the unfastened satellite has go excessively peaceful — due to the fact that they’ve killed everyone.
One of the absorbing things astir Crimson Desert’s plan is that for the astir portion enemies bash not respawn, and camps, which you tin overtake, bash not go repopulated with enemies erstwhile you’ve cleared them out. Missions are not repeatable, and determination is nary Skyrim-style Radiant quest strategy to make random encounters for eternity.
Of course, determination are things to bash successful Crimson Desert erstwhile you scope the endgame. You tin wrapper up immoderate hangover quests, sojourn immoderate unexplored areas, lick immoderate leftover puzzles, and instrumentality connected immoderate bosses near standing.
But what happens if you’ve killed each the enemies successful the game? That’s thing players are present moving up against, and, contempt getting hundreds of hours of amusive retired of Crimson Desert by that point, immoderate accidental there's a occupation with it.
“This crippled has a beauteous large issue, not galore are realizing close now, owed to the mode astir are playing it and it volition destruct immoderate peoples enjoyment, including my own,” warned GullibleTerm3909 successful a reddit station upvoted 2,900 times truthful far. “PA — this NEEDS a hole for semipermanent enjoyment.”
In the post, GullibleTerm3909 said Crimson Desert moves from being an enactment escapade crippled to “just adventure,” due to the fact that nary substance what players do, yet the satellite becomes bare successful presumption of enemies.
“I already look this occupation 109 hours in, with the main communicative finished and astir forts liberated successful return, due to the fact that zones are becoming ‘too peaceful’ to adjacent effort retired astir endgame builds oregon chill maxed-out cogwheel variants,” GullibleTerm3909 said, adding that they’re adjacent struggling to decorativeness astir of the challenges due to the fact that determination aren’t capable enemies around. “I person to food things similar the Reed Field scarecrows oregon anticipation that I don't accidentally termination random bandit patrols earlier I tin decorativeness a challenge,” they explained.
“Even bandit camps enactment bare erstwhile cleared out. Patrols bladed retired greatly erstwhile the peaceful factions instrumentality over,” they continued. “I played for six hours yesterday and had TWO fights successful total. TWO. And they took little than 10 seconds, due to the fact that I fundamentally one- oregon two-shot them all.
“Games similar Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon's Dogma, and others astatine slightest person respawning bandit camps, dungeons, and enemies truthful you tin really tackle them with your character. Crimson Desert is fundamentally thinning retired with each Red Spot cleared retired connected your representation oregon with each main communicative quest progressed. This is BAD.”
One of the issues this plan is creating for players similar GullibleTerm3909 is that it makes the 2 further playable characters, who astir players bash not absorption connected due to the fact that beauteous overmuch each of the main communicative demands you play arsenic Kliff, hard to physique up arsenic extensively arsenic Kliff due to the fact that determination aren’t arsenic galore enemies for them to combat by endgame.
GullibleTerm3909’s station is simply a informing of sorts, and it comes with a recommendation: that players cod arsenic galore Sealed Abyss Artifacts arsenic imaginable and permission the forts for endgame challenges. But doing that would mean actively avoiding clearing them retired arsenic you play done the game. It goes against the grain.
It turns retired that GullibleTerm3909 is not unsocial successful their assessment, with plentifulness of radical agreeing with them and suggesting assorted systems they’d emotion to spot successful Crimson Desert to marque the satellite consciousness alive. I’ve seen the much-loved Nemesis strategy from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor mentioned much than a fewer times, arsenic good arsenic a Bethesda benignant random ngo system, and adjacent a dynamic siege/war/tower defence system. But could Crimson Desert adjacent enactment specified mechanics?
Perhaps much feasible is simply a strategy that would spot forts reset, oregon accrued spawn rates, oregon a fewer large grindable areas wherever players tin spell each successful connected scores of enemies truthful they tin wrapper up those challenges and physique up the different playable characters.
“It's absorbing due to the fact that they already person this mechanic successful place,” 1 subordinate said. “Whenever you bash definite quests, enemies volition ‘blockade’ definite regions until you wide them out, adjacent if you've already done so. They tin 100% instrumentality a strategy wherever bandits randomly commencement taking areas implicit again.”
Some players are resorting to committing crimes conscionable to unit metropolis guards who would different beryllium connected your broadside into attacking you, conscionable to spot immoderate endgame action. Seems a spot utmost and retired of quality for Kliff and the Greymanes, but needs must, I suppose.
Not everyone’s connected committee with these complaints, however, and immoderate are adjacent mocking them. “I’m 300 hours into the game. There is simply a MAJOR contented that EVERYONE volition brushwood which is truthful atrocious it’s going to origin radical to QUIT,” 1 subordinate said. “When you bash everything, the crippled ENDS. This is simply a immense occupation which volition apt origin 99% of radical to QUIT.”
Some are going arsenic acold arsenic to ideate what Crimson Desert looks similar aft you’ve played for months oregon adjacent years. “After 700 hours I killed each azygous NPC and lone the vendors and Greymanes are left, which I can't termination (yet),” 1 subordinate joked. “Wanna cognize a secret? You tin restart and get different 300 hours,” different added.
Of course, this won’t beryllium an contented for astir players, who, I imagine, won’t get to the constituent wherever they’ve killed astir of the enemies successful the game. I’ve played conscionable implicit 50 hours of Crimson Desert astatine this constituent and I uncertainty I'll get adjacent to the satellite authorities immoderate players are experiencing. And portion I’m surely a completionist, Crimson Desert is truthful dense with contented that it’s challenging my determination to spot each those greenish ticks successful Hernand earlier I determination the main communicative forward.
However, I wouldn’t enactment it past Pearl Abyss to adhd immoderate important endgame contented to Crimson Desert astatine immoderate point, fixed however rapidly it’s updated the crippled to respond to subordinate feedback. And what astir DLC? Given however good Crimson Desert has sold, you’d ideate an enlargement of immoderate benignant is successful the works.
