Chuseok Holiday Greetings

Greetings, Descendants. This The First Descendant’s Producer, Lee Beom-jun.

First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all our Descendants for enjoying the game.

I’d like to inform you about the upcoming Chuseok holiday. Chuseok is a significant Korean holiday, during which families come together to celebrate and spend time with one another. In Korea, the Chuseok holiday will take place from September 16 to 18. As a result, the regular hotfixes, which have been held almost every week since launch, will not be conducted next week (2024/09/19).

The DEV team has been working tirelessly without a summer break since Grand Launch, so we will be taking a short break during this Chuseok holiday. We ask for your understanding as we take this time to recharge and continue working to improve the game.

However, please rest assured that the second update for Season 1, scheduled for October 10, will proceed as planned. We are doing our best to ensure that everything is prepared smoothly. After the holiday, we will try our best to provide you with stable and satisfying content.

We wish our Korean Descendants a joyful Chuseok holiday with their families, and we kindly ask our global Descendants for their patience as we take this short break. We hope you continue to enjoy The First Descendant in the meantime.

Once again, thank you all very much.

- Ultimate Weapons are not to be dismantled.

# Director’s Comment
In Hotfix 1.1.2, as the Filter option has been changed to Exclude Junk Filter, we are seeing some accidental cases of dismantling Ultimate Weapons.

To prevent such mistakes, we temporarily fixed settings not to allow dismantling for Ultimate Weapons. And the official patch regarding such issue will be set in Hotfix 1.1.3. After the Hotfix 1.1.3, Ultimate Weapons will be automatically registered as Attached Items, and we will make modifications to let Ultimate Weapons not to be selected as ‘designated all as junk’.

For those who accidentally dismantled their Ultimate Weapon between 1.1.2 update and 1.1.2b update, we will restore the dismantled weapons via mail without needing an additional request. We appreciate your understanding and patience while it may take time for restoration. We appreciate your understanding and patience while it may take time for restoration.
