# Director's Comment

The Dev Team has listened to community feedback on the 'Twisted Worship' skin and has updated its design. To accommodate Descendants who prefer the original design, we’ve decided to keep the existing 'Twisted Worship' skin unchanged for those who own it and to provide the redesigned 'Twisted Worship SE' body skin as an additional option. If you already own 'Twisted Worship,' you will receive the 'Twisted Worship SE' body skin. For purchases made after the update, both the original 'Twisted Worship' and the 'Twisted Worship SE' will be available.

The Dev Team is committed to providing skins that satisfy you. The adjustments to 'Twisted Worship' reflect community feedback; however, there may be practical limitations in addressing feedback for every skin. We will continue to do our best to release a wider variety of quality skins in the future.

The Primary Account Setup service is now available on the official website of The First Descendant.

we have prepared the 'Primary Account Setup' service.

Now, even if you have game data in your Nexon ID, you can set the game data on other platforms as your Primary Account after linking your account,
which allows you to play with the game data you want on any platform at any time with one Nexon ID.

■ Notes on the Primary Account Setup
- To set up the Primary Account, your Nexon ID and the platform you use must be linked and game data must exist.
- You can link account by logging in to the game on the platform you play on > Options > Account > Link Account.
- If you link account when your Nexon ID has no game data, the game data of the platform you first link becomes bound to your Nexon ID.
- You can set any platform game data you want as the Primary Account at any time without any restrictions.
- The game data set as the Primary Account can be used on other platforms after linking account.
- Any game data that is undergoing Account Reset cannot be set as the Primary Account.
- If you reset an account after setting it as the Primary Account, the Primary Account settings will also be deleted.

# Director's Comments
Greetings, Descendants. This is the Director of The First Descendant, Minseok Joo.

Over the next week, the Dev Team will be conducting a final review process of the PS5 Pro build in order to deliver the "Pro Enhanced" features as a Day-1 patch in time for the launch of the PS5 Pro.
With the "Pro Enhanced" feature, we aim to bring you enhanced performance and visuals that could not be experienced on the original PS5 from day one of the PS5 Pro launch.
The final review of the PS5 Pro build is expected to last approximately one week, and there will not be any updates next week to ensure QA and build stability.
The 1.1.6 update is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, October 30th.

Today, I'll briefly comment on the upcoming 1.1.6 update scheduled for October 30th.

First up is an update on the improvements to Special Operation - Resource Defense.
We're changing the waves in Resource Defense to 10 stages, dramatically reducing playtime so that all waves can be completed in about 15 minutes and can be cleared even quicker as your Descendant grows stronger.
Previously, players had to move to monster spawn areas to find them, but with these improvements, battles will be concentrated around defense objects.
We've also increased the number of monster spawns per wave, allowing you to experience tense battles as you defend your resources against Vulgus onslaught.
In addition to this, we will provide Weapon Proficiency as an additional reward, while maintaining the existing reward system. The Dev Team's goal is to make Resource Defense the most efficient Weapon Proficiency farm.

Next, I would like to mention the addition of the 'Reactor Implant' system.
The Dev Team has been working on the Reactor Implant system to eliminate the inconvenience of having to farm a new Reactor every time you switch to a new weapon.
Now, one Ultimate Reactor can have up to three weapon Optimization Conditions. This allows you to change weapons during combat and still maintain your Optimization Conditions.
Also, the second and third Optimization Conditions can be changed at any time, giving you the freedom to apply the Optimization Conditions you want whenever your weapon settings change.
The Dev Team is constantly reviewing feedback and data on the Reactor system and Reactor farming, and looking to bring you a more improved Reactor system in the long term, so please stay tuned.

We also have various QoL improvements and Ultimate Weapon revamp in the works.

And on Thursday, October 24th, we'll be rolling out the 'Primary Account Setup' feature on our official website.
If you play The First Descendant on multiple platforms and have linked your Nexon account, this feature will allow you to set up and change the Primary Account on the official website and play the game with the set Primary Account.
We'll provide more details in another announcement on Thursday, October 24th.
Then on Wednesday, October 30th, the much-requested 'Rename Game Account' feature will become available, which will also be announced in a separate announcement.

The Dev Team is always listening to your feedback, and we're giving our all to make The First Descendant even more enjoyable to play.
We sincerely appreciate your continued interest and valuable feedback, and we'll continue to make progress step by step to meet your expectations, so please look forward to it.

Thank you.

Thank you.
