The First Descendant’s Greatest Looting Lie Will Make Everyone Laugh

Nexon’s The First Descendant has been out for over a month now and the looter shooter has done well so far. The games has raked in quite good number of players in the short period of launch and they are enjoying the fast-paced and exciting co-op gameplay.

But there are also issues in the game which have frustrated players since release and it includes farming. Players have been complaining about farming across socials and it seems like the developer didn’t really tell all about it when it had the chance.

Did Nexon Lie About Farming in The First Descendant?

Looting in The First Descendant has been a big issue and players have been complaining for long. Many have said that they need to spend a lot of time to farm EXP and other resources and there is also no guarantee if they’ll get what they need for builds.

While players face this issues now, The First Descendant developer Nexon had said different about farming in the game. Speaking to Game Rant, game director Minseok Joo had said that the team wants to give priority to players enjoying the game and not spending a lot of time to farm items.

The developer said that it doesn’t want to make farming a chore and leave it to players. Here’s what Minseok Joo had stated,

Regarding looting, we actually don’t want the players to spend too much time, just spending a reasonable amount of time on some aspects, and we design it so that you get a reasonable amount of rewards through that.

Minseok Joo further added that with the collected resources, players will be free to choose different strategies on how they want to continue playing the game. He said that players can try new things with their collected loot with different methods to make the gaming experience unique and exciting.

Nexon Has Promised a Better Farming Experience

Players have criticized the drop rates in the game and the developer has promised overhauled drops with the latest patch 1.0.5 with several improvements. This comes after the developer previously reduced the rewards player could get from the Fortress’ Vulgus Strategic Outpost.

It has said that the drop rate systems are functioning well but acknowledged that some players still are having issues. The developer has said that it is working on a new system that will help players easily get the items they are looking for.

The developer also said that it is working on how it can “take care for the drop-rate issue’ with the diverse reward systems with all the missions and items in the game. It added, “We hope to make improvements before long to provide a more rational and satisfying farming experience.”

It is working on a farming structure that it feels will make players happy. Are you looking forward to the changes in The First Descendant‘s farming? Let us know in the comments!
