- Players who purchased the Fellow Bundle between the Season 2 update and the Hotfix 1.2.0c patch and already owned some of the items contained within the bundle.

■ Refund Details
- Caliber equivalent to the unapplied discount amount during the Fellow Bundle purchase will be refunded.
Ex) If you purchased the Enhanced Tracking Bundle (750 Caliber) and owned the Hagios Sheepdog, you will receive 385 Caliber.

■ Refund Schedule

Greetings, Descendants.

With the 1.1.6 update, the 'Twisted Worship (SE)' Body Skin was added to the 'Twisted Worship' bundle. As part of this update, Descendants who purchased the original 'Twisted Worship' before the improvement received the 'Twisted Worship (SE)' Body Skin via in-game mail on October 30 (Wed) and October 31 (Thu).

However, for Descendants who did not claim the skin from their mailbox before the Season 2 update (which included attribute improvements for common skins), the skin did not receive the improved attributes.

We are providing the following schedule to address this issue and update the improved attributes of the affected 'Twisted Worship (SE)' Body Skins.

■ Update Schedule
- PST 2024.12.17 (Tue) 22:00 (Processed in stages)

■ Affected Descendants
- Descendants who did not claim the 'Twisted Worship (SE)' Body Skin from their mailbox before the 1.2.0 update.

■ Update Details
- The 'Twisted Worship (SE)' Body Skins without the improved shared attributes will be recalled, and the updated version with correct specifications will be sent to the inventory.
(Note: You may experience disconnections during this process.)
※ Paints applied to the affected 'Twisted Worship (SE)' Body Skin will be automatically transferred to the updated version.

Thank you.

Greetings, Descendants!

We have identified an issue where Caliber was not being deducted when two or more refunds were requested
through an external platform (Steam, console) store and the Caliber recollected at the same time.

This issue has been fixed,
and we will be issuing temporary suspensions and collecting Caliber from those Descendants whose Caliber was only partially collected.

■ Temporary Suspension Date
- PST 2024.12.15(Sun) 7:00 PM ~ 2024.12.16(Mon) 5:00 AM PST
* This announcement will be updated with any changes.

If you have less than 0 Caliber after the suspension, your account access will be restricted according to our Refund Policy.

In this case, account access will be restricted for "abuse of the open market processes"
and can only be lifted after a process of appeal through Customer Service.

The appeal process can be done by purchasing the negative amount of Caliber and submitting the payment receipt to Customer Service.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Greetings, Descendants.

Here are the results of the crackdown on abusive users carried out between 12/6 (Fri) – 12/12 (Thu).

We're inspecting abusive gaming behavior to ensure that all Descendants can enjoy the game in a pleasant environment.
Additionally, to ensure a pleasant gaming experience, we are planning to strengthen crackdowns on behavior that interferes with the gameplay of other Descendants, such as being excessively AFK.
If you notice any abnormal or abusive behavior while playing, please report it through the in-game report feature.
The results of the crackdown on abnormal users for the next week will be announced together in the first week of January 2025.

Please see below for the detailed outcome of the crackdown.

■ Notes
