BDO – 11.07.2018 Patch Notes
Greetings Adventurers, This week we have some exciting changes to make your Black Desert experience a little bit more fun!

There are some exceptions so make sure you read the full notes on this feature.

[Content]
  • Character tag system has been added.
    • You need to have at least one character in your Family at Lv. 56 or up to use the character tagging system.
    • You can set character tagging via the Tag Characters button on the left-hand side of your game display, next to the Camping Tool icon. The character you are currently logged in as will be the “primary character,” and the character you are tagging will be the “tagged character.”
    • If you left-click the button, the Character’s Tag Setting window will become activated. If you right-click, you will switch characters.
    • You can only tag or un-tag characters in towns (excluding Kusha, Abun, and Muiquun).
      • To link two Characters for the Tag function, both characters must be in the same town.
    • You can switch from your tagged character to your primary character anywhere. However, you cannot switch characters in the desert or great ocean.
    • You cannot switch characters during Node/Conquest War.
    • After switching characters via tagging, there will be a cooldown of 5 minutes. However, you can still change characters via the Character Selection window.
    • Character tagging shares the same cooldown as Emergency Escape and applies to both the primary character and the tagged character. There is also a five minute cooldown for character tagging after changing characters or servers.
    • You cannot buy or sell trade items with a tagged character. That character also cannot move trade items to or from mount inventories or a storage.
  • You can now attack monsters in safe zones even when a World Boss has appeared.
  • You can now use the Battle Arena even when a World Boss has appeared.
  • Global Lab Testing (NA Only)
    • Thank you adventurers! Our developer PearlAbyss has been listening to the feedback of the global crowd and decided to open Global Lab to help provide better service where new contents will be tested before being released to live clients.
    • Please keep in mind that this Global Lab testing service is not available to all regions that service Black Desert Online due to temporary difficulties (including GDPR for EU players), and currently the service will kick off for NA players. PearlAbyss is currently seeking to support EU players in the future.
    • Global Lab testing will open at 06:00 UTC/ 23:00 PDT (7/11th) / 02:00 EDT and more content and details will be announced via the official Global Lab Testing website (Link available tomorrow with launch).
