‘Crimson Desert’ Is Still Not Fixing Its Biggest Problem For Some Reason

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Pearl Abyss has rapidly patched Crimson Desert with new moves and quality-of-life updates.
However, the core progression problem remains: Damiane and Oongka still take far too much time and too many skill points to unlock and upgrade.
As a result, players are forced to pour nearly all progression into Kliff, leaving the other playable characters underdeveloped.
The article says this makes the alternate characters impractical to use and exposes a major balance and design flaw despite frequent updates.
