Black Desert Online's Awakenings "Won't Be Coming Soon" For NA/EU

With the launch of Black Desert Online's Valencia Part One expansion imminent, players have begun to grow ever more concerned about balance. Not PvP balance, but PvE balance. With Awakenings nowhere to be found on the horizon, will they be able to grind properly or will classes like Ranger definitively be making more money. A lengthy post on the official forums delves into this matter in some detail.

The post also elicited a response from CM_Tytyes, who reaffirms that the intention is still to release all Awakenings at once and then goes on to explain several other matters. PvE is balanced differently in NA/EU than it is in KR. The team is constantly trying to "adapt the game" based on its current state. The response ends with the following statement.

There is actually no reason to be afraid of something that isn't garanty to happen. Awakening won't be coming soon no, and it doesn't mean that you will not be able to grind properly in Valencia.

Players may have to wait for Awakenings, but the team is said to be ensuring that Valencia will be a comfortable play experience without them.
