Once Human News

Dear Metas,

To thank you for supporting Once Human, on January 27, we provided a thank-you compensation to players who participated in the 10 phases of the Lightforge Loot Crate between August 15 and December 19.
We've received a lot of questions and feedback from users, and we'd like to address the following points:

[h3]1. Why does the number of Lightforge Collection items I received not match the corresponding compensation tier?[/h3]
Originally, we planned to assign compensation based on the number of crates opened by each player, and rewards were determined by the number of Lightforge Collection items obtained by opening the crates. This involved two conditions:
1. Obtaining Lightforge Collection items (star-marked cosmetic rewards
) by opening crates.
2. Belonging to the first 10 phases of the Lightforge Loot Crate (older version mechanism). (See Question 4: What were the rewards from the first 10 phases of the Lightforge Loot Crate?)
However, due to issues with the announcement, some multi-language versions didn't clarify the condition of "obtaining Lightforge Collection items by opening crates." This caused confusion among many players regarding their reward counts, and we sincerely apologize for the oversight. As a result, we are adjusting the criteria to include both direct draws and redemption as valid methods for calculating reward eligibility!
In other words, we will now recalculate the number of Lightforge Collection items you received from the first 10 phases of the Lightforge Loot Crate, counting both those drawn directly from the crates and those obtained through redemption. Based on this new count, we will update your tier and send the corresponding thank-you compensation.
*The tiers and compensation for Lightforge Collection items remain the same, but the restriction on draws is removed. Additional rewards based on your updated tier will be sent via mail: 1. If you obtained 1–4 Lightforge Collection items under the previous system, you can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 5× Lightforge Ingots.
2. If you obtained 5–9 Lightforge Collection items under the previous system, you can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 10× Lightforge Ingots.
3. If you obtained 10+ Lightforge Collection items under the previous system, you can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 1× Lightforge Gem and 10× Lightforge Ingots.

[h3]2. How can I claim the additional rewards? Will the original redemption benefits still be available?[/h3]
The new calculation method requires some time to implement, and the added rewards will be sent to your most recently logged-in character via mail!
The original redemption benefits will still be available in the Lightforge Loot Crate: Frostshade Redemption Shop, and will be accessible until February 26. Please be sure to redeem them before then.
*Example: Meta-Human A opened the crate and obtained 4 Lightforge Collection items through draws, and acquired another 3 through redemption.
Under the original compensation system, Meta-Human A would fall under Tier 1, where they can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 5× Lightforge Ingots.
Under the updated compensation system, Meta-Human A would fall under Tier 2, where they can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 10× Lightforge Ingots.
Therefore, Meta-Human A can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 5× Lightforge Ingots at the Lightforge Loot Crate: Frostshade Redemption Shop before February 27, and will receive an additional 5 Lightforge Ingots via mail within this month as part of the new compensation.
*The system will thoroughly verify the Lightforge Collection acquisition status for all users. Any special statistical discrepancies will be addressed accordingly. Once you receive the follow-up mail and the adjustments are complete, if you still have questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team.

[h3]3. I redeemed all my Lightforge Relics for Lightforge Gems in the Lightforge Loot Crate: Frostshade. Can I undo it?[/h3]
Yes! Please contact our customer service team, and they will assist you in reversing the Lightforge Gem redemption in Lightforge Loot Crate: Frostshade. However, note that this only applies to Lightforge Gems that were redeemed with Lightforge Relics but have not yet been used.
