“Based as hell”: Nexon fix The First Descendant Void Shard drop rates and get showered in praise

As a long-time gamer with countless hours spent in various MMORPGs, I’ve seen it all – from blatant disregard for player feedback to companies prioritizing profits over player satisfaction. But with The First Descendant (TFD) and Nexon’s recent actions, I find myself pleasantly surprised and impressed.


The latest update to The First Descendant has left many fans puzzled. Nexon, the company behind it, has had its fair share of controversies recently. They were fined heavily for deceiving customers and faced criticism over their focus on pay-to-win elements. With such a controversial past, it’s surprising that they released something unexpected.

Numroth expressed surprise on Reddit, commenting that it’s unfortunate the entire gaming industry isn’t as transparent and responsive to community feedback as Nexon seems to be. They mentioned that other companies often fall short in this area, leaving them expecting less from Nexon.

As someone who has been playing this game for years and has gone through countless patches and updates, I can’t help but be impressed by Nexon’s latest 1.0.3 patch. The recent accolades for their work stem from their thoughtful approach to addressing a long-standing issue with Void Fusion Reactors.

Yesterday, we pointed out that some missions weren’t giving enough Void Shards, which could negatively impact the game in the long run. It seems this issue has been addressed now. I concur with the decision.

“Some individuals remain skeptical and haven’t voiced their approval just yet. Regrettably, past experiences show that when a Nexon team openly listened to players rather than prioritizing profits, the game met its end within a year. I can only hope this doesn’t lead to a similar outcome.”

Nexon appears more open and responsive than usual, possibly due to TFD serving as their next major franchise akin to Warframe or Destiny for them. They emphasize the importance of retaining players, as these games heavily rely on player engagement for their success.

In the end, I strongly believe that game companies should pay close attention to the suggestions and concerns of their community at this time, and Nexon has caught my interest in doing so.
