Nexon is apologiz🅺ing for the launch issues of its new co-op looter shooter, The First Descendant, by offering players bonuses like increased XP and gold gains for a limited time.

澳洲幸运5开奖ꦆ号码历史查询:The First Descendant looked li🐷ke a hit on Steam yesterday, July 2, when it dethroned 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree from Steam's top-seller spot. However, only 43% of user reviews at the time recommღended the game, with issues like microtransaction practices and technical problems souring players on the overall experience.

Shortly after launch, developer Nexon outlined all known issues on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms in the tweet below. The First Descendant is facing many problems ri🥀ght now, including fꦬrame rate drops, Easy Anti-Cheat not functioning correctly, consumable items not working properly, and in-game challenges not tracking as they should.

As an apology for said issues, Nexon announced c🅺ompensat🦩ion for The First Descendant players in the tweet below. For three days, players can now earn increased gold, XP, and Kyper Shards, as well as boosted XP for weapon masteries. Finally, there'll also be two matte red paints for players to collect. Once the boosts are collected from your in-game mailbox, they'll immediately activate.

At the time of writing, The First Descendant now has 12,466 user ꦡreviews on , and 46% of said reviews are positive about the new shooter. A lot of issues, from the latest reviews, seem to be concerning shaders, where the shooter immediately crashes when trying to compile shaders for players. 

This whole situation brings to mind Kuro Games' Wuthering Waves, which launched earlier this year in May with a torrent of technical issues and other problems. Wuthering Wa✱ves' developer rolled out🃏 similar compensation for players, repeatedly in fact, as launch issues weren't immediatel✨y quashed and left a sour taste in players' mouths for weeks on end.
