The First Descendant Nerfs Gold Farm

Highlights

  • Nexon announced a hotfix for The First Descendant on its official Discord, nerfing gold farms like Valby Run.
  • Fans were surprised by the decision to nerf the popular gold farming method, as the company previously promised alternative solutions instead of a proper nerf.
  • Nexon’s ambiguous statement leaves players unsure about the future of the game’s economy, causing worry among the community.

As a long-time player of The First Descendant, I can’t help but feel disheartened by Nexon’s recent announcement regarding the hotfix for gold farming in the game. I’ve spent countless hours perfecting my Valby Run strategy at the Fortress Outpost and have grown attached to this efficient method for earning gold. The community was thrilled when Nexon initially promised alternative solutions instead of a straight-up nerf, as we didn’t want to lose our favorite farming spot.

An update has emerged on the Discord platform for “The First Descendant” from Nexon. They announced that the upcoming fix will reduce the effectiveness of gold farming spots, as previously mentioned. The latest declaration offers clarification on the director’s extended comment concerning Vulgus Strategic Outpost within the game.

As a dedicated gamer of Korean Action RPGs, I’ve come to expect the grind in these games, especially the free-to-play titles. And just like Warframe, The First Descendant doesn’t disappoint in this aspect. However, when it comes to dealing with the tediousness of leveling up or gathering resources, players have discovered a clever solution: the Valby Run at the Strategic Outpost.

I recently came across an article on PCGames where Nexon made an announcement through their Discord channel. In this message, they mentioned that the farming efficiency of The First Descendant’s Fortress Outpost will soon be adjusted to match that of other popular farming spots in the game. This means that there will be changes directly impacting the Fortress Outpost, which was not something the gaming community had anticipated at all.

Nexon to Nerf Valby Run Gold Farm Despite Promises

As a fan, I was initially excited to read Nexon’s announcement about updating farming locations on their official website. However, upon further reflection, I now see that their statement contradicts my expectations. Instead of addressing The Fortress Outpost issue by completely blocking it, they plan to make other farming spots more efficient only a few days after the The First Descendant hotfix 1.0.3. They intend to reduce the cool time for Vulgus Strategic Outpost and rebalance the locations for collecting Void Fragments, making these areas as productive as The Fortress Outpost. While I understand their approach, I had hoped for a more direct solution to the issue at The Fortress Outpost.

In the game “The First Descendant,” the “Valby Run” is now a cherished feature, and players were thrilled with Nexon’s initial decision to keep it unchanged instead of making adjustments. This excitement led to an outpouring of appreciation from the community towards Nexon. Consequently, if Nexon were to go back on their word and nerf the most effective gold farming spot in “The First Descendant,” they would be going against the positive momentum they have created among their players.

Nexon’s latest statement leaves room for interpretation, while the CEO clearly stated that outright nerfs are not their current plan. Previously, Nexon successfully addressed the issue of AFK farming in “The First Descendant” with quick and effective measures. However, fans must wait to see what adjustments will be made, as the new statement raises concerns.
