Greetings, Descendants!

We have noticed that game connections are temporarily unavailable.

■ Details
- Game connection error

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this error.

We are promptly working to identify the cause and resolve it. Once it’s resolved, we will make a prompt notice.

Thank you.

The First Descendant is out, and making waves on both PC and consoles. As it rises steadily up the most-played charts, players are starting to lodge complaints about the free-to-play game's monetization, especially in relation to some of its competitors like Warframe.

Take Reddit user Goompas, who made this comparison directly in regard to Energy Activators. These items, bought on the in-game store for 1,500 Caliber (premium currency), vastly increase your chosen weapon or Descendant's mod capacity. This is important, as mods are what provides much of the power, survivability, and overall strength of your equipment.

1,500 Calibur will cost you quite the sum. Right now, you can't buy that much directly, you'd have to buy 1,060 for £15.98 / £19.99 and 520 for £7.99 / $9.99 respectively. Or, you could grab some extra and fork out £39.98 / $49.99 for 2,750 Calibur. A lot of cash for an in-game item. Now consider that for a loadout with all your weapons and your descendant powered up with Energy Activators, you'll need four in total. That's a whopping 6,000 Calibur's worth, or £83.97 / $104.98.

It must be a little frustrating to be a player of The First Descendant when it seems like all anyone’s talking about are the game’s well-endowed female characters, their skimpy outfits, and the jiggle physics that are applied to more bodyparts than necessary.

But how could you fight back against that tide? Well, a few players have an idea, and it involves admiring something else about the way characters are designed in the game.
