Pearl Abyss has officially launched the new class for Black Desert SEA and Mobile, the new Hashashin Class. A surprising updates for all adventurers, as this is the very first time a new class will simultaneously to both platform of Black Desert for the mobile and PC. It gives us ideas and high hopes that the mobile counterpart will no longer left behind from getting new updates from the game.
We got a chance to get a Question and Answer with Pearl Abyss Executive Producer Jaehee Kim, it will give us some insights for the new Hashashin Class updates and future plans of Pearl Abyss for the Black Desert game.
Questions & Answers with Executive Producer Jaehee Kim
Q1. This seems to be the first time that a new class has been updated simultaneously on PC and mobile. What motivated you to do that?
Yes, it is. This is our first time attempting such an update, and could only be executed because we saw potential. It has been six years since the first launch of "Black Desert" in Korea, and more than two years have passed since the first release of "Black Desert Mobile" also in Korea. As a result, we have accumulated much more know-how regarding game service. We were in the middle of developing a new class for Black Desert when it was suggested having our mobile studios get involved in the development too. This ended up happening quite quickly. Using this opportunity as an experience, I would definitely like to make further simultaneous worldwide launches in the future.
Q2. It must not have been easy for two different studios to simultaneously update new content. Were there any memorable episodes that you could share with us?
Both the PC and mobile studios have a well-established process that can apply developments quickly. However, for global services, it takes a certain amount of added time to translate text into each country's native language. In particular, in the case of Hashashin, we prepared translations to apply to all platforms. It would have been difficult had it not been for the skill and dedication of our employees from various departments, such as the Localization Center, who have the know-how accumulated through localizing Black Desert and Black Desert Mobile over many years. I would like to take this opportunity to convey my gratitude to everyone.
In the case of the mobile studios, this was a class that was completely unexpected. I know there was another class that they originally planned, but when we talked about Hashashin, the mobile studios were able to develop the class quickly and within schedule knowing that Hashashin was a better option for our users. I realized then just how much knowledge and experience we had accumulated. In addition, by sharing the concept with each other and creating it at the same time, different styles of the character emerged for each platform.
Q3. What was the motivation behind creating the Hashashin class? The name 'Hashashin' itself means 'Assassin' and originates from Middle Eastern etymology.
As Black Desert and Black Desert Mobile are serviced all over the world, it made us consider the i various cultures of the Adventurers we come into contact with., As such, it was our Adventurers in Turkey & MENA that provided the initial inspiration for the conception of the Hashashin.
As a result, we were able to create a charming character that could appeal to users across the world. In addition to Turkey and MENA, we will strive to continue incorporating other diverse cultures in our own way to the world of Black Desert.
Q4. We are also curious about Hashashin's skills. How difficult will it be to control this class?
With Hashashin, we focused more on character management than character manipulation. For example, you can create special 'areas' to your benefit within a battlefield by means of his unique skills. For instance, the "Hourglass of Defiance" skill allows you to return to the desired point at any time, while "Hourglass of Death" and "Arid Assault" attack targets in the air. Although the difficulty level of controlling Hashashin is not particularly low, users who enjoy character management will have a new experience that they haven't had with any of the existing Black Desert classes before.
Q5. What efforts are being made to ensure users continue to have a positive, long term experience with Black Desert? What are your plans for future operations and services?
We are always thinking of ways to grow and settle new users into Black Desert, and this is something that we have begun paying even more attention to lately. As the number of streamers and YouTubers has increased recently, they are helping users to engage in creative activities by exerting a positive influence. In the case of North America, I am grateful that there are streamers to introduce the Black Desert IP alongside Black Desert console and mobile.
For PC, stabilization is a top priority for everything from content to service. Since the service has been around for a long time, there is a lot of content, so our concern is to figure out how new content will be incorporated into existing content.
Both Hashashin and the Season Server are providing a new experience for new and existing users alike. Since our intended goals have been well received, I would like to continue presenting various content based further on stabilization.
Q6. As mentioned earlier, it's been quite a while since Black Desert was first released. What can you tell us about future, large-scale updates such as the Great Desert and the Great Ocean?
We're always on the lookout for new updates that deliver on the needs of our users. The Great Desert and the Great Ocean are both good examples of this.
Take the Great Ocean, for instance. It offers an opportunity for users to expand their reach across a wide area on a ship. But in addition to that, we also plan to introduce new features to take into account the various needs of our users across the globe, like the bartering system we added in the Great Ocean.
We're also continuously improving our content through focused efforts to optimize and stabilize the game. Not to mention, we're still discussing ways to introduce new expansions to the world as well. Our team will continue to strive to ensure that all of our content satisfies the needs of our users. However, greater content diversity and the introduction of vast territories will require more attention to the optimization process, which is expected to increase lead time to development. However, we would never give up but continue our efforts to optimize content and introduce new territorial expansions to the game.
Q7. Considering the latest development process of all studios, can we look forward to more cases like Hashashin in the future?
Of course. The addition of Hashashin taught us that our organization was capable of so much more. Through Hashashin, we were able to simultaneously introduce content that had previously been released separately at the same time. This has not only allowed us to take on new ideas and challenges but also pushed us to challenge ourselves beyond our limits. I believe that one day, we will be able to add content to all platforms across the world at the same time.
Q8. I heard Pearl Abyss' next-generation game engine will only be applied to its new titles. Will there be any improvements to Black Desert's engine?
Black Desert's engine has been improved through optimization, performance and graphics improvement, and provision of various options. In particular, we worked on the Remastered version to provide quality differentiated from the existing one.
Quality improvement is important, but considering that it is an MMORPG genre, a lot of attention should be paid to optimization. This is because the world of an MMORPG requires several new content updates. For example, there was an inquiry reporting a lag that occurred during every Siege War. Although we provided the server specifications, there were some areas that still needed improvement. Therefore, we are looking for a way to optimize the game more fundamentally and radically.
Q9. How are you planning to direct the development of the Black Desert IP in the future?
The Black Desert IP is an important asset for Pearl Abyss on all platforms, and is an asset that we will continue to expand. There is still room for improvement and it is our lifelong goal to keep fixing, improving, and providing great performance.
We work hard every week, but sometimes certain issues take as longer to handle than expected. Nevertheless, we never give up. As we never give up, we are able to try new ideas little by little. In the future, we will continue to pursue new ideas while taking care of existing content.
Q10. Last but not least, is there anything you would like to say to our Adventurers?
Black Desert is a game IP that can be enjoyed through any platform, such as PC, mobile, and console thanks to the support of all our Adventurers around the world. I would really like to take this opportunity at this point to say thank you to our Adventurers for that. The Hashashin update allows us to reach a larger, more diverse userbase and enable both new and existing Adventurers to enjoy the same character on various platforms together.
Our goal for the future is to provide entertainment while continuing to challenge ourselves with new ideas in a way that only Pearl Abyss can. Adventurers' feedback is very important for Pearl Abyss and Black Desert to achieve this goal. I would like to ask users to please continue giving us great opinions through our community page on the official website. We will continue striving to become a game and IP loved for a long time.
The new class Hashashin is now available on Black Desert Mobile and Black Desert SEA PC version. You can also check below the gameplay first imprerssion and overview by Anders of the Hashashin Awakening.

Tom and Jerry Chase Mobile Game Review
Have you ever thought on how Tom and Jerry feel as if you are in their shoes? If you have been a fan of watching Tom and Jerry classics on the television, it centers between the rivalry of these lovely characters; a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Tom is always the losing end when it comes with a fight with Jerry. In Tom and Jerry Chase, you will finally have a chance to help Tom as you'll be playing him in this game hunting Jerry and the rest of the mice gang.
Tom and Jerry: Chase is a 1 vs 4 2-D platformer casual mobile game with the nostalgic feels of the original classic animated series. It was released last week August 21, 2020 and available to the Southeast Asia regions including the Philippines. The game was officially licensed under Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and brought to you by NetEase Games.
Gameplay
Play either as Tom or Jerry the mouse in a 10-minute battle, playing Tom is a little bit in a bully sometimes as you'll be up against 4 mice as your enemies. Your primary objective is to catch them one by one and place it on a fireworks to eliminate each of them and most importantly to stop the mice from getting the cheese to their hideout (mouse hole). Tom's advantage is he is faster to walk and have much higher life. On the other hand, playing as Jerry will allow you to pair with other 3 players, your main objective is to steal all of the cheese that are randomly spawned around the house and you need to push as many cheese as you can to the mouse hole. Once Jerry team succeeded a brick will open that will allow them to escape from the battle, but the last obstacle is you need to destroy the bricks to escape.
It features a multiplayer, where you will be playing with other 4 players online either by a random pool or forming up your team with friends. The match making is pretty quick, in just a matter of seconds you'll be able to find a match as many players around SouthEast Asia are playing the game.
Each round, there is only one Tom in every game and the rest are of 4 players are the mice. The matched game includes a ranking leaderboard where players can showcase their scores and ranked level against other players.
Before proceeding to the game match, you will undergo a 3 to 5-minutes training first as it will allow any beginners to familiarize the basics and expert tutorials for the game. Players can also do a Bot Practices, which we recommend before playing with other players or in the ranked mode. Under Test Courses are the basic course, advance course (unlock after reaching level 10) and expert course (unlock after reaching level 15).
For players who wants to take basic or advanced course, they can finish tutorials which players will also receive a course certificate that contains rewards like coins and perk points which they can use in the game.
For the game controls, it is just right, roaming around the house is a no problem. The controls use a joystick controls for strafing from left to right. In the right corner of the screen, the controls for jump, skills and other interaction are located – pretty much like controls from an MOBA or Battle Royale game. You can also choose 4 different skill keys which may suit you during the gameplay. These are composed of the following:
- Free Attack
- All-in-one
- Free Interaction
- Free mode
Note: Key bindings can be changed in the Settings page at any time.
Conclusion
Our final verdict for this game is Netease nailed everything, reviving this nostalgic animated TV series into a game is just a dream come true for every 90 kids from the visuals, characters the sounds are all on point.
It is also a on the go game as you can play each round for less than 10 minutes, best for busy people who can play during their breaktime. And as well as for gamers who want to have a new level of a challenging game or for casual gaming.
Tom and Jerry Chase is now available on Google Play for Android and App Store for iOS in Southeast Asia in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, East Timor and Brunei.

Then the coordinates will be displayed at the bottom, take note of the latitude and longitude of the location.
To teleport, at the Microsoft Flight Simulator Developer Tools menu, go to Windows > Teleport Window.
Make sure to check the "Slew Mode", this will pause the plane from flying, allowing you to manipulate the plane in any direction and altitude you want.
After that, enter the latitude and longitude of the location you wish to fast travel, then click the Go to LatLon button.
Your plane will automatically reach the destination. This time you can now manipulate your plane with the controls below.
Controls for Slew Mode (Teleport)
Since we've checked the slew mode, your plane will be automatically pause at the air allowing you for more controls.

How to Take Off in Microsoft Flight Simulator
If this is your first time to fly a plane in Microsoft Flight Simulator, especially the new released 2020 version. There is a good chance that you have no idea on how to take a plane and might be confusing on what the instruction says during the take off training.
When you've tried the training 3 "Take-off & Level Flight" to learn how to take off, it seems the instruction didn't work and you have problem to taxi your plane to the runway. In case, I've increase the throttle speed and pitch the plane just to move it to the runway, but it is wrong.
In this guide, we will help you how to take off your plane the right way.
How to Taxi the plane to the Runway
The first objective is to taxi your plane in to the runway, you can achieve this by turning off your parking brakes.
In computer, this is by pressing the CTRL + NUM DEL from your keyboard. Note: Press the DEL button from the numeric keypad not the DEL button on the navigation keys (INS, HOME, PAGEUP, DEL, END, PAGE DWN) area. If you press in the navigation keys, it will not turn off the brake, this is where I was stuck and takes hours to figure out.
In XBOX One controller, to turn off the brake, just press Y or B.
In the cockpit, you can find the parking brake control just at the bottom left corner.
Once your parking breaks are now turn off, you are now ready to taxi your plane to the runway. To taxi your plane, slowly increase the throttle speed to 10 to 15. In keyboard its F3, while on XBOX One Controller its A or B.
This will allow you to move your plane forward, press the NUM 0 to turn to left and NUM Enter to turn to right and move to the center of the runway. In XBOX ONE Controller, control it with the analog LEFT RIGHT.
Once you're at the center, turn on your parking break again by pressing the CTRL + NUM DEL. In XBOX ONE Controller, pressing Y or B.
How to Take off your Plane
Now, since your plane is now at the center of the runway. You're now ready to take off.
To take off, first you need to turn off the parking brake by pressing CTRL + NUM DEL. In XBOX One controller, its Y or B. Then increase the throttle speed to the maximum speed at 100%.
This will move your plane forward, wait until you've reach 55 knots. When you reach it, slowly pitch by pressing NUM 2 until you successfully take off.
That's it guys! Hope this tutorial helps you learn how to take off your plane for the first time.
How to Use Throttle Lever in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Looking for the right keys in the control will also take you time, so in this guide we will help you how to do it right.
How to Increase/Decrease Throttle in XBOX Controller

How to Increase/Decrease Throttle in Keyboard
To increase or decrease the throttle, simply press F2 and F3 from your keyboard. Pressing F3 will increase the Throttle putting more power to the engine, while pressing the F2 will decrease the engine power. However, pressing the F1 will automatically cut off the engine power to 0%.
In the cockpit view, you can also interact inside the cockpit, you'll notice a lever control for THROTTLE at the bottom center of the cockpit. Pressing and holding this lever will also increase/decrease the engine power. Pushing forward to increase, backward to decrease.
Alternatively, you may also use climb (NUM 8 from your keyboard) the decrease the speed of your engine and pitch (NUM 2 from your keyboard) to increase the the speed.
That's it guys! Hope this help you get started with flying at Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Facebook Classic Blue-Design will no longer be Available starting September
The classic Facebook blue design will no longer be available starting September. If you recently received the new layout of Facebook, you can still switch back to the classic blue-design without any problem. But today, Facebook recently add a feedback survey once you've try switching to the classic version, that says "The classic Facebook experience will no longer be available starting in September. Before the new Facebook.com becomes the default experience, we want to learn more about how we can improve.".
A lot of users are still using the classic blue-design because they are more comfortable to use than the new layout, due to hard to find features and unfamiliarity. Browsers in desktop, laptop and smart phone are one of the affected with these changes. However, we have no information if the 3G mobile interface (m.facebook.com) is also affected.
The "New Facebook" was first introduced in 2019 during the F8 Developer conference, it is one of the biggest changes made since their existence wayback 2004; cleaner interface, and allow users to switch to dark mode. But most importantly, it improves the backbone of the site with new programming technologies that improves user experience and compatibility with every phone.
Well, you still have almost a week to enjoy the classic facebook blue-design. Are you one of those users who still prefer to use the old design? Let us know in the comment section.
