Crimson Desert Players Plead With Pearl Abyss to Make Temporary Creature Mounts Permanent
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- In Crimson Desert, creature mounts other than the horse are temporary, and the endgame dragon mount has a strict 15-minute usage limit followed by an unskippable 50-minute cooldown, which has frustrated many players.
- Players must complete the story to unlock the dragon, but its limited use and cooldown have sparked widespread complaints on social media, with many feeling the dragon was misleadingly promoted as a permanent mount.
- Some players argue that the cooldown mechanic is unnecessary in a single-player game, as it restricts the freedom to explore and enjoy the dragon’s abilities without affecting others.
- Suggestions from the community include removing the time limit or limiting only the dragon’s attack abilities while allowing unrestricted flight, as well as making other creature mounts permanent and summonable.
- Despite the backlash, Pearl Abyss continues to update Crimson Desert regularly, and the game’s Steam review rating has recently improved from “mixed” to “mostly positive.”
