I like how the equipment looks now! The new 'stat quality' icons look better imo, and I like how the conditional firearm atk buffs no longer take two lines (that bothered me a lot in Reactors in particular). Good stuff : )

Edit: The conditional buff adjustment seems erratic, on a second look. "vs Legion of Darkness" has smaller text to fit one line on an Unfinished Study, but another Study with "vs LoI" kept the large text and went to two lines. Now I just hope they apply that change on the first to all the rest...

[Anx]

whats up with the vague instructions on how to complete these new missions?

[JamesFatio]

Horrible content update. Literally time gating content around these annoying new mechanics

[MrDjinn]

All the invasion mechanics suck.

Also wtf is 'Inversion Energy Emitter'

[Chubby Unikornz]

game stutters very bad now with this update.

[JamesFatio]

This update blows, I've never been so annoyed at a game update before. You guys did not QA test these content changes and it shows. You guys suck.

[kong82]

nexon .....hailey parts drop rate in dungeon working or not? like 0.0025%?

[Skuall]

I absolutely disagree with almost all the changes

[+4int-4con]

why would you remoove skill spec. marc from reactors? plz get it back

[LiaxBlaze]

Bro fix the solo missions to be better balanced for all your characters to clear it. "cause being forced to play a tank character is annoying. I came to this game for the multiplayer aspect not solo player. if i wanted that i would be playing a single player game. there is not balance you're just causing mobs to spawn indefinitely is frustrating

[Nimbus]

chit update！

[Alice]

The developers of The First Descendant are Scott Mania.
They mix up their favorite poop and give it to us.
They think everyone likes it because they like it.

The chef is Scott Mania, so he keeps mixing poop with the food.
I won't be visiting until the chef changes.

Can vouch for that, earlier could run no problem in range of 140 - 165 fps now it sometimes goes down to 7-20 fps.... and freaking stays like that for good couple minutes making it just unplayable.

5800x3d / 4070ti / 32gb 3600 cl14 / game is on m2 ....

Same here massive stutters and fps drops, open world fps before ~100 in battle ~80 now ~90 and in battle ~60.
Menus are causing fps drop to like ~20 for 1-2-3 sec every time.

EDIT : Frame gen is causing some of the issues i was having. Removing it fixed menu drops
