Greetings, Descendants.



We are planning to address issues arising from the main content updates in Season 2.
We will provide additional updates to this notice as the preparations progress.


■ Improvement of Misunderstood Participation Conditions Due to Void Vessel Quest Path Issues
The Void Vessel content becomes accessible via the Void Vessel Operations Terminal after completing the quest Unidentified Void Vessel Exploration Mission (Void Vessel tutorial completed once). You can then participate in Void Vessel: Normal and Void Vessel: Hard.

However, due to unclear quest guidance, many players have misunderstood that they must complete the Data Recorder Collection stage to progress. This has caused difficulties for many players attempting to complete the quest.
To address this issue, we plan to implement the following changes in the 1.2.0c hotfix scheduled for Saturday, December 7.

The ‘Collect Recording Devices’ will be converted into a side quest.
The Move to Void Vessel for Data Collection button will now be redirected to the Void Vessel Operations Terminal.
These changes aim to clearly distinguish quests that are not mandatory and help players easily recognize that they can already play Void Vessel Operations.

Additionally, we plan to further refine the ‘Collect Recording Devices’ side quest through a future hotfix for a smoother gameplay experience.
You can freely play the Void Vessel Dungeon via terminal after completing the tutorial once. Players who prioritize combat and farming over story progression can complete this quest later at their convenience.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and will continue striving to provide a better gaming experience.



Thank you.
