The First Descendant devs apologise and revise Valby Run statement

As a long-time fan of The First Descendant, I’ve spent countless hours exploring the vast world of Valby and mastering various strategies to progress through the game. The recent news about the supposed changes to the Valby Run playstyle left me both excited and worried. Initially, it seemed like a positive development as Nexon had committed to acknowledging the strategy instead of removing it outright.


Nexon, the creators of The First Descendant, have been criticized for seemingly reversing their stance on major game adjustments. Previously, they announced “significant modifications” to the game, including an acknowledgment of the popular Valby-Run strategy at The Fortress’s Outpost – a tactic involving strategic farming using Valby.

As a gamer, I was relieved to hear Nexon’s assurance that they wouldn’t eliminate the strategy outright. Instead, they promised to enhance other farming spots to make them equally efficient as The Fortress Outpost. This sounded like great news to me – rather than fixing the exploit directly, they would improve other areas to match its productivity.

I’ve worked as a translator for several years now, and I can tell you from personal experience that translation issues can be a real headache. It’s not uncommon to come across subtle nuances in languages that don’t have direct equivalents, leading to misinterpretations like the one mentioned in the Twitter statement.

People have expressed valid concerns about the gold and XP economy in the game. The problem lies in the fact that numerous aspects of the game require a substantial amount of gold, while activities that generate gold do not yield enough in return. Reddit users feel disheartened as they believe their voices were not taken into consideration despite Nexon’s previous responsiveness to community feedback.

In simpler terms, the problem isn’t just about inefficiencies in farming at particular outposts within the game, but rather that it’s extremely challenging to earn gold and experience throughout the game as a whole. If Nexon is open to feedback, they should focus on understanding the reasons behind these exploits instead of simply patching them, and find ways to make the game more enjoyable to play consistently.
