When it comes to fulfilling requests, Nexon really does the best they can. The new Season is not even two days old and players already have a lot of negative opinions about it. So, Nexon stepped in and announced that they will improve the Season 1 content very soon, to fix what the players hate the most (Invasions and Hailey grind). So, let’s see what is the official announcement.
Fixes Will Come Very Soon
On August 30, one day after the release of Season 1: Invasion, the TFD team, headed by their director Minseok Joo, gave an official announcement stating that they had heard the players’ complaints and are working on fixing them.
“First, I would like to apologize for everyone who had inconvenience since Season 1 Update. Everyone’s support is incredibly appreciated, and our Dev Team is currently doing our greatest effort to resolve the current issue.”
Improvements for Season 1
The devs will fix the following issues:
- Modification in Invasion Dungeon and Inversion Reinforcement: Reduce difficulty of puzzle mechanics, buff Inversion Reinforcement and delete penalty in the next week 1.1.1 update.
- Improved Hailey Farming Process: Increase Hailey’s Equipment Material drop rate in this week’s 1.1.0b hotfix.
- Improved Development Process: FGT and prior feedback in consideration
- Improve Community Communication: We will fully listen and reflect everyone’s opinion and will try our best to make better improvements.
They go into more detail concerning the invasions, saying that “for Invasion Dungeons, to provide faster and better experience, we will lower the difficulty of the puzzle mechanics and will modify the monster spawning.”
Concerning Inversion Reinforcement, they say: “To let everyone fully enjoy the Inversion Reinforcement system, we are planning to buff most of the effects and will delete the penalty. “
Farming For Hailey Will Be Easier
As for Hailey, Nexon said: “…the drop rate for Hailey’s Research Material (Enhanced Cells, DNA, Stabilizer, Spiral Catalyst, Data Chip) in Invasion and Infiltration Operations will be increased.
Our Dev Team wanted everyone, including our users who only have limited time, to finish Hailey in 12 days (in average). Also, we wanted to better support users who can invest a lot of time to farm Hailey faster through the Infiltration Operation. However, to accommodate opinion that Hailey’s farming takes too long, we are planning to increase the drop rate for Hailey’s Research Material about 2 times faster. The drop rate for Hailey’s Research Material will be updated this Saturday on Hotfix 1.1.0b.
They finish by saying: “We will continue to respond quickly to issues, communicate improvement directions transparently, and do our best to ensure that Descendants can enjoy The First Descendant for a long time.”
Such a fast response is almost unheard of in the world of gaming, so hats off to Nexon. These updates will be implemented in the next couple of days. You can find the full announcement on their official website.
