The post initially promised to buff every farming location within the game. However, that has now been retconned, and the game's most popular farming location will be nerfed.

Vulgus Strategic Outpost To Be Nerfed

A new farming strategy has recently risen to prominence in The First Descendant. Using Valꦆby, players have been running the Vulgus Fortress Outpost and, due to an increase in enemies, been getting far more drops.

The blog post from game director Minseok Joo described this new farming strategy as "our own mistake", stating that enemies have incorrectly been "respawning infinitely," causing the location to have a dr♊op rate "2-3 times higher than other popular locations."

The blog post then continued by promising players that "we will update other farming locations to match the efficiency, equivalent to The Fortress Outpost." With The First Descendant having 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:notoriously difficult, verging on seemingly unjust ℱdrop rates, this led to delight among players, with the expectation that they would now be able to farm materials at what they consideredꦛ a fairer rate. Their delight was short-lived.

Speaking , the developers shared a further update, saying the initial statement was a "misinterpretation during ღthe translation process of the original Korean text." Mistranslations unfortunately happen, but as far as they go, this was a bad one. Nexon continued, saying that they actually meant that the "Fortress - Vulgus Strategic Outpost" would be nerfed "to match the efficiency of other farming locations." The original blog post has now been updated to reflect this.

While many were quick to point out that they figured this would have been the case and that Nexon wouldn't quickly buff so many farming routes, others were understandably frustrated. A compromise of the Fortress being slightly nerfed while other routes were slightly buffed was a but slightly naive expectation.

This issue is the latest in a line of gaffes from The First Descendant's team. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dodgy paints, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:plagiarism allegations, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:AFK farmers, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an initial lack of hard-mode matchmaki🥃ng, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unbalanced characters, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:predatory monetization, alongside the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unfair drop rates, have all plagued the game within its first month. While this one is a little more understandable, a simple mistranslation rather than anything more nefarious, it's hard not to feel at least a little bad for the game's 100k+ daily players.
