[h3][The Way of Winter] Patch Seasonal Tags Update Preview [/h3]
We plan to update the seasonal tags on October 17. Starting from then, all scenarios will use the same set of seasonal tags, including tags related to seasonal combat environments, cradles, prize pools, Deviant Invasions, and more. They remain consistent so that players can select the same server as their friends, unaffected by the layering mechanic.

Tags Prize Pool
The tags of the new season becoming available on October 17 will include these prize pools:
[Destructive Flames]: Includes the Legendary Weapon Blueprint, Destructive Flames.
[Blazing Fire]: Includes the Legendary Gear Blueprints: Fire Rune Boots, Lonewolf Hood, Lonewolf Gloves, and Lonewolf Mask.
Cradle Override
In the new season available on October 17, we'll make adjustments to the Cradle Override:
All weapon builds will provide buffs, and several keywords will gain new mechanics so that players can enjoy a new experience.
Blueprint Conversion
After the update on October 17, the blueprint conversion feature will become available for all scenarios. Here's how it works:
How to Unlock: In the first season, when you reach level 40, you can access the blueprint conversion feature on the Blueprints screen. Alternatively, you can wait until season 2 for it to automatically unlock.
How to Use: You can spend blueprint conversion attempts to swap the star levels of any unlocked blueprint with another unlocked blueprint of the same rarity and gear type (weapon or armor).
Attempt Cost: Each conversion will cost 1 blueprint conversion attempt. These attempts will recover at various points (when you unlock this feature for the first time, when a new season begins, upon a seasonal balance adjustment, and at a fixed time each week). There is a limit to how many attempts you can have.

That's it for this preview of [The Way of Winter] patch content. For more details, please stay tuned for the full patch note of [The Way of Winter]. We will regularly communicate our update plans, gather feedback, and solve major issues you find in the game. Feel free to share any thoughts you may have with us!

Dear Meta,

We're committed to addressing your thoughts in the Once Human community, and to resolving issues and enhancing the game accordingly. Here's a summary of the fixes we've implemented:

1. Fixed the issue that Rift Anchor rewards were distributed incorrectly.
2. Fixed the issue that some texts overlapped in the Season Sign-up screen.
3. Fixed the issue that images in The Northern Tour screen displayed incorrectly.
4. Fixed the issue that some players couldn't enter The Northern Tour event.
5. Fixed the issue that some materials couldn't correctly snap and attach in Construction mode.
6. Fixed the issue that players sometimes couldn't open the door in their territory.
7. Fixed the issue that some players were having trouble logging in.
8. Fixed the issue that the game would freeze when players upgraded their accessories in the Vehicles screen.
9. After you sign up for a new scenario and enter it, the mail in your mailbox will be deleted. To make sure that you don't miss any unclaimed compensation and rewards when this happens, you will now automatically claim all the mail from the previous scenario, and the items included in the mail will rotate according to the seasonal item rotation rules. For more details, please see the seasonal carry-over mechanic description in the game.
①For items that can be carried over across seasons, you'll automatically claim the current characters.
②For items that can be rotated to Eternaland, they will rotate to your Eternaland Depot as you enter a new scenario.
③For items that cannot be carried over across seasons, they'll be discarded.
10. If you accidentally forgot your Deviations and left them in the Securement Unit in your friend's territory when you signed up for a new scenario, those Deviations will be returned to your Spacetime Backpack when your friend leaves their current scenario or when they demolish their Securement Unit. If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to reach out via the feedback platform or our customer support.
