Hello Adventurers,

We are aware of the issues that you guys have been experiencing when fighting Kzarka. We're working on optimizing the game so that everyone can have a smoother and more stable gaming experience, especially during the world boss fights.

We are adding two new systems to help reduce the stress of the Kzarka fight. The first system, [Character Optimization], will allow you to restrict your viewing distance of other players’ characters. As you can see in the screenshot below, there will be multiple options for you to choose, but we recommend that you use the ‘10’ option for the best results.

The second system [Hide Other Adventurers], will allow you to remove all other players when there are 80 or more players in a combat zone. This will make other people essentially invisible to you, but you will still show up for other players. If someone attacks you in this state, they will become visible to you.

In the Red Battlefield and Node Wars, only the opponents will be shown if this option is turned on.

Please remember that these settings will remain in effect after they have been set.

The recommended optimization settings for the boss fights and other combat zones with many other users are: Character Optimization [On] set to 10, and Hide Other Adventurers [On].
 

Also as you know, Kzarka's HP is shared across all servers and no matter what server you are on, you can contribute to his defeat. This means that users will have a better experience on less crowded servers. We will be announcing the less crowded servers in-game before Kzarka spawns. Those of you who have been experiencing a lot of lag should move to those servers.

Please know that we're always trying our best to make this experience better for everyone.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Black Desert Xbox Team
