The First Descendant Season 1 has finally begun, introducing lots of new content to the game along with plenty of great quality-of-life improvements and fixes. Perhaps the biggest of all, Nexon has also added a new playable character called Hailey Scott. There has been complaints about her acquisition rate, and Nexon has declared they are improving the farming rate for Hailey in an apology to The First Descendant fans .
You can check out the update 1.1.0 patch notes to see everything new in TFD Season 1.
In addition, Nexon has shared rewards for completing Daily and LTM challenges between now and September 9th. While part one of S1 is out, the second portion of the chapter will arrive on October 10th. Season 1 was originally split into three parts, but Nexon changed the schedule following fan feedback.
Nexon has done an excellent job with TFD since launch, and one of the best aspects has been their willingness to listen to the community and change course based on reception. They’ve demonstrated this again by listening to fans once more and changing Hailey’s farming rate in response. The First Descendant devs are changing Hailey’s farming rate On the game’s official X account, Nexon informed The First Descendant fans that they are changing the farming rate for Hailey “this Saturday on Hotfix 1.
1.0b”. In addition, they are modifying Invasion Dungeons in “next week’s 1.
1.1 update”. Below is dev note vol.
13 as shared on X: “ Greetings, Descendants. This is the Director of The First Descendant, Minseok Joo. 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. Throughout this Dev Note, we would like to share some countermeasures regarding the Invasion Dungeon and Hailey’s farming difficulty issue. Summary ᆞModification in Invasion Dungeon and Inversion Reinforcement : Reduce difficulty of puzzle mechanics, increase the number of spawned monsters , buff Inversion Reinforcement and delete penalty.
All contents will be updated in next week’s 1.1.1 Update.
ᆞImproved Hailey Farming Process : Hailey’s Equipment Material drop rate will be increased in this week’s 1.1.0b hotfix.
ᆞImproved Development Process : FGT and prior feedback in consideration ᆞImprove Community Communication : We will fully listen and reflect everyone’s opinion and will try our best to make better improvements. For Invasion Dungeons, to provide faster and better experience, we will lower the difficulty of the puzzle mechanics and will modify the number of spawned monsters. For Order of Truth, to make it easier to remember, the pattern will be simplified and Arche pillars without patterns will be deleted.
The direction of the Arche pillar will be adjusted to look toward the battle area, and the drone’s pattern will be designed vertically. Also, to make the gameplay experience better, tumors that covers the pattern ones that block the door will be easier to destroy it. Also, tumors that were once destroyed will not be regenerated.
For the Legion of Darkness, the Occupation Time of an Arche Tile will be shortened, and the Tile will be replaced to easily distinguish its arrangement. The number of wrong Arche Tile will be reduced, and self-destructive monsters which steal the Arche Tile will be deleted. In color puzzles, symbols will be added so players with color weakness will more easily enjoy the game.
Lastly, barrier HP for named monsters will be weakened. Just like other Legions, the puzzle mechanics for the Legion of Immortality will be modified in an easier way. As the Invasion event for Legion of Immortality starts today, based on today’s feedback, we will find more specific countermeasures.
Also, Inversion Reinforcement will also be improved. To let everyone fully enjoy the Inversion Reinforcement system, we are planning to buff most of the effects and will delete the penalty. Modification in Difficulty for Invasion Dungeons and Inversion Reinforcement will be fixed next Thursday on 1.
1.1 Update. Throughout the update, we will try our best to let everyone fully enjoy the Invasion Dungeon in a more comfortable way.
After that, we are planning to add matchmaking systems so users can play the Invasion Dungeon as multiplayer mode. Also, the drop rate for Hailey’s Equipment 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 make Hailey faster through the Infiltration Operation. However, to accommodate users’ opinion that Hailey’s farming takes too long, we are planning to increase the drop rate for Hailey’s Equipment Material, which will make around 2 times faster to make Hailey. The drop rate for Hailey’s Equipment Material will be updated this Saturday on Hotfix 1.
1.0b. Furthermore, we will improve our development process to meet the expectations of our players in future updates.
We are considering having FGT (Focus Group Testing) after development is completed, or inviting players to gather feedback before the update is released and incorporating that feedback into the final release. Our dev team has been listening to various opinions about the first major update from the community. We will continue to respond quickly to issues, communicate improvement directions transparently, and do out best to ensure that Descendants can enjoy The First Descendant for a long time.
Thank you.” This is fantastic news and is another excellent display from Nexon. Of course, if you don’t want to do any farming at all, you can buy Hailey for 900 caliber.
