Pearl Abyss just dropped Update 1.07.00 for Crimson Desert, and it has triggered absolute chaos in the community Discord. They didn’t just fix game-breaking bugs; they quietly adjusted a fan-favorite female armor set, and fans are losing their minds over what got “nerfed.” 🔥

Hardcore raiders are scrambling to find the newly adjusted “on-land” boss rematch points, while an entirely separate faction of players is up in arms over missing legendary mounts like the White Tiger. If you haven’t checked the skill trees for the hidden unarmed combat additions yet, you are completely missing out on Patch Day. 👇

South Korean developer Pearl Abyss is keeping its foot firmly on the gas, dropping yet another massive title update for Crimson Desert. However, while Update 1.07.00 brings a staggering list of quality-of-life adjustments, map fixes, and expanded combat maneuvers, it has inadvertently ignited a firestorm across social media. The community is currently deeply divided over an unexpected cosmetic alteration to a popular female armor set and ongoing frustrations regarding missable legendary mounts.

The patch notes were dissected by prominent community figure DPJ, who expressed sheer disbelief at the developers’ frantic update schedule. “I mean, have you ever known a game to be updated as much as Crimson Desert? It is wild,” the creator remarked, highlighting the studio’s remarkable dedication while noting that the community’s response has rapidly drifted into bizarre, tabloid-worthy territory.

The ‘Carmine Leather’ Controversy Rocking Discord

While developers intended Update 1.07.00 to focus on stabilizing Pywel’s vast open world, the primary talking point on X and Reddit centers on a highly specific visual adjustment. According to the official documentation, Pearl Abyss “fixed an issue where the Elegant Carmine Leather Armor appeared abnormally.”

Hardcore community members quickly discovered that this “abnormal” fix was actually an intentional geometry adjustment. Prior to the patch, the shorts on the female variant of the armor set featured a visual bug that exposed a significant portion of the character’s lower torso. The swift, unannounced correction has caused an absolute uproar on official community channels, with sub-factions aggressively demanding a rollback.

“We live in a weird world,” DPJ laughed during his video report, revealing the sheer absurdity of Patch Day complaints. “I’ve even seen a dude consistently moaning and replying to every single tweet about the option to take off Damián’s boots so we can see her toes, man. It is wild people.”

Major Endgame Overhaul: On-Land Boss Rematches

Beyond the cosmetic culture wars, Update 1.07.00 introduces substantial, high-level mechanical shifts for endgame progression. The developers have officially expanded the boss rematch system, cataloging locations directly inside the player’s Journal Knowledge library under “Memory Fragments.”

Crucially, the dev team responded to player feedback by moving several high-profile boss rematches that were originally trapped in the surreal Abyss realm directly onto the physical terrain of Pywel. The updated rematch ledger includes:

Muskan: Located at the infamous Bone Pit.

Corrupted Caliburn: Accessible via Fort Musk.

Goan Spyro the Sun: Challenged at Draven the Crow.

Cola: Encountered at the Church of West Deminis.

Clockwork White Horn: Positioned at The Gate to Advancement.

Furthermore, combat profiles have received major tune-ups. Damián receives an entirely fresh suite of Unarmed Combat Skills accessible directly via a dedicated “Fists” submenu in the skill layout. Additionally, an Aerial Stab maneuver has been distributed to Kliff, Oongka, and Damián, alongside a flashy Blinding Flash Finisher designed exclusively for unarmed close-quarters brawling. Unarmed physics have also been scaled so that basic strikes can now successfully hit enemies knocked prone on the ground.

The Legendary Mount Taming Trap

Despite massive praise for Pearl Abyss’s rapid bug deployment, a highly vocal segment of the player base remains deeply frustrated by unaddressed limitations in the game’s mount taming system. Update 1.07.00 explicitly claims to have “increased the number of animals in the world that can be used as mounts” and introduced reins for specific creature types.

However, early testers jumping into the game post-patch report that iconic, apex apex predators remain strictly locked out if players completed their associated hunting missions. The most prominent example is the legendary White Tiger. Community consensus confirms that if a player previously killed the White Tiger during its unique ecological encounter, there is still zero administrative way to track, respawn, or tame a standard tiger variant in the wild.

Similar frustrations are being directed at the elusive Black Lion and the highly coveted Red Feathers Raptor. The raptor mount is natively tied to a very specific regional outpost liberation quest. If players successfully liberate the zone without taming the creature first, the Red Feathers Raptor permanently despawns from the world file, forcing players to completely restart their campaigns or abandon completionist goals.

Critical Performance and Quest Fixes

On a technical front, Update 1.07.00 acts as a massive sweeping broom for long-standing quest progression blocks. Notably, the patch addresses a major GPU crash issue that plagued PC users operating on AMD graphic driver version 26.5.1.

Key fixes applied to the open world include:

The Projectors of the Abyss Quest: Solved an agonizing bug where players inserting progression tokens into the main vault door would watch their items completely vanish if they accidentally walked too far away before inserting the full set.

Bounty Notices: Fixed a script freeze where bounty progression locked up entirely if a player looted a physical notice board before initiating dialogue with the NPC Yan.

The Salt Road Trading Post: Fixed distorted NPC spawning geometries that disrupted local merchant routes.

As the community continues to push the boundaries of Update 1.07.00, the split between mechanical praise and cosmetic frustration highlights the intense, hyper-focused passion surrounding Crimson Desert. While Pearl Abyss receives immense, well-deserved industry credit for their relentless post-launch support, they may need to address the deep-seated desire for legendary pet taming if they want to truly quiet the storm brewing in Pywel.
