Devs Q&A Is Insane! This Changes Everything! Socket Changes & MORE! the First Descendant

[@acclrator]

I originally planned to be totally free to play, but seeing how supportive the team has been for this game, I had to toss them a little bit of love to make sure their higher ups see it’s worthwhile to keep the game going. I always view costs with the movie theatre expense… if it costs me $20 to see a movie for 2 hours, paying $60 for a game that I just sank 100+ hours in to is basically pennies in comparison.

[@kio2960]

This game deserves the support ngl. As annoying as the drops rates are. The game is amazing. And no game is perfect.

[@victorygo]

I had approximately 500hoyrs in pre-season where I bought ultimate gley package after 20hours. Spent another $100 cause ran out of character slot and figured I'll buy 5 battle passes. If D4 lasted 5 season I'm sure TFD will last 5 seasons

[@Memphise101]

I fully agree... Yes drop rates can be annoying but if we get everything first try we've nothing to grind for... I'm loving it atm and will buy the battle pass and ultimate freyna

Honestly probably gonna buy Hailey and battle pass tomorrow lol I only like grinding for the ultimate characters

[@jhiieri7812]

@@Memphise101 same! The drop rates don't bother me in the long run. Yes, it can be frustrating to be farming for a gun part and running out of the specific fragment to call the boss just one more time... lol But to be fair, I have a bit over 200 hours in completely F2P, and my Descendant count is at 10 with one being Ultimate Bunny. I've pretty much min/maxed Thunder Cage, and almost done min/maxing Greg's. Not a cent paid. I am thinking of spending some $$ on the game if the battle pass offers better stuff and maybe expanding my Descendant slots to 12 or 15.

[@DragonCaller1]

Here is the thing, And it will happen sooner or later with communication. There will be crunch times and they won't be able to communicate, It isn't necessary 100% to communicate with your player base but what is 100% is to not treat your community as if you are talking down to them. Or thinking that your player base is stupid.

[@pantherusa3146]

" Hey guardian, We are listening! " lol

[@nutronik9]

When you put a timer on a boss, you literally have to have a certain dps number just to pass. So by that they trained the players to go for dps to pass thier dps checks.

[@azuredream9032]

Ya basically like what u gotta do in mh (monster hunter.) Which the colossi fights are slightly similar to.

[@soldierbreed]

I mean they are adding a whole speed run encounter so they are doubling down on that.

[@rickyjanzen6684]

Their point is that their timers are generous, in their opinion. This would tend to bear out from the fact that many bosses are killed in seconds vs even coming close to the 10 minutes mark. On average, players are significantly past their DPS check. However, the only other real option is designing encounters that are actually enhanced with defensive and support players vs raw dps, but that gets really hard in a game that can't coordinate roles beforehand--how do you ensure you're not jumping in with 4 support roles and then won't have the needed DPS without having excessively long queue times, etc?

[@fdjw88]

The easiest way to make player play regular descendants is to allow regular descendants to "evolve" into ultimates with special materials. instead of farming parts for an ultimate descendant, you farm a "special" catalyst that your regular descendant will consume, and once the regular descendant consumes a certain number of these special catalyst, he/she automatically become ultimate, while retaining all the regular catalysts a player has invested in. for players who have money and don't want to farm, they can buy these special catalysts in the shop, just like buying an ultimate descendant. the only downside of this method, is that Nexon will have to forgo making money from people buying descendant slots. but i highly doubt they actually make money from that.

[@victorygo]

That's what dev are looking into doing it

[@James_Bee]

I agree with something like this. I am not rushing to get an ultimate descendant yet because I don't like the idea of sinking time and resources into a normal variant and having to do it all over again with the Ult. AT LEAST the modules are transferable. That helps alleviate some of the pain of the grind. That said, I recommend having at least one Ult geared toward either farming or bossing or even both. I've sunk A LOT into basic bunny, but her Ult version of lightning emission is just SO good that I really want to get her Ult. There is a LOT of farming to be done in this game and right now, I feel like it's all I'm doing.

[@ImEcchi]

First time not playing Warframe? Warframe has lots of money flow through their game because you can use real money to trade for items. Oh wait that’s illegal in some countries. I meant you can buy premium currency and trade for in-game items👌🏼 Upgrading a descendant would remove the aspect of gaining mastery from them. What are you trying to do? Not ever catalyst them? never level them? The whole point to play is grind for the items and grind to strengthen them. Unless you want a real Eastern game where you can swipe and be max out. People that complain too much got like 1-2 descendants. Play the game more or find another game. Warframe keeps getting called the better game but nobody ever complains about them having the same mechanics and even longer research timers.

[@Clockwork-Heart]

@@ImEcchi Warframe is also not predatory. Grinding Warframe is respectful of your time, (outside of hema research, woof). Warframe doesn't require a million layers of RNG. Warframe let's you use paints on anything right out of the box. Warframe's Activator equivalent is less than a dollar. Warframe encourages and rewards grinding in groups. NEED I CONTINUE? Seriously, I could be here all day. Quit shilling. TFD is a carbon copy of WF, and not in a good way.

[@musgazd9340]

​@@Clockwork-HeartWarframe has no end content and shit mechanics need to continue? There is no reason to be tanky there because u have skill that makes u invulnerable and there is no challenge to you there because once u get weapon that shreds trough armor ur kill 100 lvl enemy and 9999 lvl enemy with 1 shot for a mile of range very entertaining! Leaved that game because that is the thing they imagined in 11 years? Thx no

[@DragonCaller1]

If they had changed the polarities of most of the mods that are similar in nature it would of been good as well, But we have this for now which is nice but the elemental mods should all have the same polarity.

[@qscorner]

the socket changes are HUGE! End game is all about build / theory crafting and the game was stifling variety. In fact to their point that community ended up gravitating to a few particular OP builds is due to the fact that the current system did not allow for much experimentation without significant costs and time. It will good to see a lot more unique builds coming out.

[@vangxiong6535]

I honestly did not really expect to still be playing tfd, as I still have other games to play, but seeing how nexon has really been listening to the community and constantly blowing our minds with these amazing contents. I spent more money of tfd than I thought I ever would and don't regret it, awesome game. Looking forward to season 1

[@tim6986]

very very happy with socket change, and this is the first i've heard of the new change. i'm stuck now where my next socket assignment isn't common between builds, so i haven't done it at all yet. very nice change.

[@squidmysterm]

I love all th changes, but the one change i was hopoing for is the damn drop chance for ultra precise code breakers.......ive have a fully kitted enzo and farmed for ages his mods with no luck. I understand maybe just really bad RNG, but farming the same mission for days on end bc it has a slgithly better drop chance for the ultra codebreakers is just pain for only 1-2 to drop in multiple hours.

[@prattyv9208]

Yep. I think F2P model games are predatory and should never have been allowed to thrive. I figured I'd play this game for an hour or two, hit some decent paywall, and uninstall it. Their handling of things got them $100 from me pre-season and likely another this season.

[@zachariousmccool5768]

Am excited about the catalyst change (being able to freely change the symbol once the slot is "unlocked" is a fantastic change. I am also interested in the talk of reactors. Currently I find them very.....whats the right word...."pidgeon holed?" They are so hyper fixeated. I think one positive change would be having ultimate reactors that have standard gun types on them and not just the one ultimate gun type. It would allow you to use either the ultimate gun or the type of gun you wanted rather than this one specific gun.

[@idminister]

[@AvgPanda13]

The timeline wasn’t the issue. The lack of transparency with the official season 1 trailer disclosing that the content was dropping on the 29th. That’s what set the community off about the time gated content. All they need to do was disclose that it would be releasing through out season 1.

A F2P model game at that. They are heavily incentivized to make mechanics just annoying enough to get people to fork over money to avoid them, but they've pretty much done the exact opposite here. It worked to get money out of me, anyway, and that's saying a lot (I HATE F2P models).

[@dcinzona]

Rip battery farming. But honestly, seeing how this developer has addressed community concerns has been incredibly refreshing

[@LickyPocket]

I personally think they are attentive enough that they will replace that battery farm with something just as good. They have stated multiple times that they don't want to nerf things that are fun and efficient (exceptbthe major outliers/unintentional bugs), like xp farms, gold farms, OP builds, and I think that will extend to material farms as well. I assume they are well aware of favorite farms like the battery one

[@rickyjanzen6684]

My expectation of that specific redesign is that that encounter will probably still have several elites. An average run may be fewer per run, but the encounter itself will likely be faster. They may even have more spawn if you can kill them faster, making a single run more efficient than current.

[@MrNorker77]

@@DemonicDragon6 Catalysts are just as if not more abundant then in Warframe (Still have 10+ blueprints waiting to be built). And Forma used to be hard to get in Warframe, especially in the early game. It's easier now that you get them from some events. Leveling up used to be a chore in Warframe as well before they made changes (Some I hope to see in TFD as well. Giving XP for completing daily/weekly challenges would give another incentive for doing them and using different descendants for them). I think it's a great idea and I've seen this discussion in Warframe years ago. They went into a different direction. Going into an "evolve" system would solve a lot of issues and would also keep us from a "Helminth". Warframe is at a much different stage then TFD. TFD has a chance to make different decisions even if the decisions worked out in WF. Your point stands, but WF could have also gone the "evolve" route.

[@gwalker3092]

@@MrNorker77 I’ve never played Warframe so don’t know its systems. At some point people who want the best character and prepared to pay will just sit and wait for the ultimate characters. Any system that lets you re-invest the time / money / you already put in towards your new Ult is an obvious win. Would you be so tempted to buy a new car all the time if the car you were currently using and was ok was made worthless or could be traded in for some value on the new one each time ?

[@MrNorker77]

@@gwalker3092 I'm not arguing with you on the merits, just that I'm not so sure it's a no brainer decision. Warframe went another way and they had the same discussion. I agree that an "evolve" system or re-invest is superior to having Ultimates or Primes be seperate where investment in the "normal" version does not carry over into the Ultimate/Prime version. In Warframe (in my opinion) it had to do with content drought. If you were a regular player you ran out of things to do, so why not farm, level and max out the new frame. Even if you knew that 6-12 months later there would be a prime version of it and you had to do it again. Maybe it comes as an easier conclusion in TFD then in Warframe because of Lore? In Warframe regular frames are lesser versions, imperfect copies of frames in their Prime. While in The First Descendant the Ultimates are descendants that unlock more of their Arche potential. TLDR: I agree with your reasoning. I only think the solution they are going for isn't as obvious a choice as it seems.

[@youhou21]

This absolutely amazing, especially hearing that the ultimate weapons will be reworked. This is something Ive discussed with my friends, some of the ultimate weapons don’t feel that ultimate. What they could do to update weapons like ‘King Guards Lance is it can summon a sheild, and it shoots a laser lance that pierces enemies, or the Smithereens implants explosive pellets in an NPC, and shoulder swapping detonates the pellets(like The Ravenous from Div2).

[@ashfield4313]

Good stuff. My solutions for Reg vs Ult descendants is exactly that - Feeding Regs into Ults for cats & activators unlocks. Same thing with making a catalyst unlock a slot to any module type. They're tedious enough to farm and that specific grind is quickly out staying its welcome.

[@bpindel]

On the topic of the shields, they should have never released "shield" tanks if they weren't ready for shield related research. Enzo and Kyle are both shield tanks, Enzo due to his ability gives large shield regen and Kyle due to his custom resource being based off of shields. The issue is they started splitting the tanks already from HP/Shield/Def and since shield base stats are so low (likely to counter the fact they regen... despite it being flat regen) and def having diminishing returns, that only leaves HP tanks essentially. They need to balance the three categories by balancing each trait/stat so they're all useable and then giving those units in each category some kind of ability for their category (ex: Ajax increasing defense in a manner making defense running) and increasing their base stats for their category. There are two things that need to be done for shields: 1) Shield base stats and modded stats need to be increased. Enzo/Kyle should have comparable base shields as Ajax does for base hp and component shield stats need to be increased. The module % are close enough to be negligible but could be buffed to compare. 2) Change shield regen to percentage based not flat amount... because for shield takes with 10k shields.. getting 3-6 shields back every tick could take an incredible amount of time to regen back to full. Even if the percentage is low... if you have 10,000 shields... regenerating 5% a second would mean full shields in 20 seconds but right now I believe its 3 regen ticks a second at 3 base regen would take 18.5 minutes to fully regen your shields. That is far far too long to regenerate shields for a shield tank.

My problem with the reactors is you can only have one. If you have three guns and want to switch the one you are using the reactor no longer is working. It should either work just as long as the gun is equipped as one of your three or we should have more reactors we can install at a time.

[@IllusorySpectre]

Only yellow reactors have that problem where you have to be actively using the weapon to get the bonus skill power. Purple reactors don't have that problem as long as you have a particular weapon type equipped in your inventory you always have the 140% skill power increase regardless of what weapon your actively using. The only fault with the purple reactors is that they give 140% increases skill power while the yellow reactors give 160%.

[@NoblessObligee]

That is true and i agree. So far from what ive played, seen and players ive talked to. Nobody uses the gold, unless they're looking for that min max and want a specific mode to boost proficiency in, which is a Paid player thing. My ultimate bunny would be the example for this hyper min maxing. Catalyst, +7 forma. If i used for example the Capacitor (whatever the first exotic you get is called) and the gold reactor just for that 20% increase over the Purple 140%. Id insta kill most things except major bosses. Constantly. Which can already be done without that 20% skill dmg especially when you polarize your descendants mod slots. Its useless until things change.

Who will never be happy regardless of what Nexon chooses to do. I admit that western studios have kind of black pilled me a bit on studio practices...but them hiring more staff to meet demand was something I did NOT see as a good thing. To me it reads as them bulking up to push even harder...& at worst down the road, mass layoffs. I genuinely hope these overly needy people who are never happy grow bored & simply move on to other things. The sooner the better.

We'll know in a few hours, but I wouldn't get too set on the more "universal" mod slot. I feel like the answer in here is a translation issue and you'll still need a catalyst to change to a different specific type the first time (and probably re-level, although hopefully not). I think the "universal" concept would be great, I just hope people don't get so set on it from this q/a that they get up in arms if it ends up being the original new catalyst for each type change concept. That's still a decently workable solution for most Descendants and a significant boost over the current system.

I'm 4 seconds into the video and already thinking about subscribing to your channel. great video and audio quality as well as no stupid overenergetic intro; nice!

[@rickyjanzen6684]

I like that their solution to players not really liking the additional gimmicks isn't to see how they can funnel players into them or explore ways to make gimmicks more fun, but rather tuning things to what players actually want. "You don't want to stand in a circle for 3 minutes, but you like shooting things? Ok, we'll remove the circles and give you more stuff to shoot." It might just make crackhead Bunnies even more popular, though, but whatever.

[@Tr4c3LeSs]

The thing with being able to now freely change sockets once catalyzed is a nice change, however that begs the question why not just remove the different sockets alltogether and just make every module be half cost when slotted into a socketed slot. Being able to freely change the socket just seems like an unnecessary extra step at this point :D

[@MrVoltimor]

Maybe make gold reactors like purple ones but 2 weapon slots for example hand cannon and sniper if you have 1 type you get the 140% and when both equipt you get the 160%. It would make things easier in the longrun. If they make transcendent reactors in the future they could make it with 3 different weapon types.

[@ricericericericericerice]

trying to roll the weapon + the 2 stats youre looking for has already been torture. Adding an extra wep to roll will make me cry haha

[@MrVoltimor]

@@ricericericericericerice True but would be neat if you can reroll those 2 sub stats like you can reroll weapons.

[@michaelhughes657]

This definitely gives me another perspective that I just didn't think of. Now that considering, they shouldn't plan to do time gated anything during seasons.

Not so bad with multiple people, drains slower, but yeah it's a drag.

[@KeanuChrist]

Glad to know my Bunny is safe. I see what they mean about players becoming too powerful, too quickly. One week, and my Bunny is already stronger than all of my Warframes.

[@danielmn7722]

When it comes to reactors, idk maybe they could let us farm gold reactors the normal way, and when we do get a fresh reactor with good rolls, they could let us bind it to a weapon once. Could be a potential solution. Correct me if im wrong tho

[@mcjester1523]

oooo the devs are cooking one way they can encourage people to try out regular descendants could be applying a version of the weapon mod upgrade system to characters. what i mean is if you put the mushroom or donuts on a weapon every copy of the weapon will have those donuts and mushrooms . so if that were the case for your regular descendant then applied to your ultimate whenever it dropped would be tremendous quality of life and make it so people dont feel like they wasted their mats investing and trying out the character edit: added the paragraph after the devs are cooking

[@RobK-rl6sn]

Why do these people keep bringing up op builds. It's like they don't want to feel powerful and they want the grind to be even longer. What is wrong with people. It's not like this is a PVP game where one particular character is dominating every other one. There are so many characters out there that dominate just as good as bunny does. But because bunny was presented in all the trailers and she is popular and you get her for free. She's targeted like something is wrong with her. I bet she feels like Trump right now LOL being attacked from every angle and being lied about. Like she's the only op character in the game. Just Let It Go people weeks have went by and the devs had responded multiple times. Bunny is where they want her to be. Stop asking for a nerf. Those of us that work for a living appreciate bunny and what she brings to the table along with Valby and lepic. Among many others

[@Quickvids33]

I have tried to get this comment noticed I'm not sure why we haven't seen this already, so you can re-roll weapons attributes to gain bigger buffs and increase levels why can't we do this for reactors? low level on your gun use weapon fusion, bad buffs re-roll for better, this can easily be a thing 🙏🙏

[@uberLWKY]

They should make it so if you socket every slot on a normal you can transform it to a ultimate version

[@blakeschafer211]

Bro how tf am I just finding you?! Instant sub

[@mr8panhandler201]

People complaining about OP builds is crazy to me.the usual suspects are those who usually get carried

[@Clockwork-Heart]

It's definitely the people that can't be bothered to farm an ultimate. Hell, a base Greg's with 4 specific mods can carry anyone. No excuse to complain imo.

[@GWAVE23]

I hope they increase the gold gains soon. Running around in a circle with Valby for hours, even with a gold boost on, is tedious. Spend more time doing that than actually playing the game.

[@stevie9361]

I don't like that once you beat the story, you either have to spend couple hours to get a gun, or couple hours to get character. I'm mastery rank 16. I wasted alot of hours trying to defeat giant bosses without having the item that gives you a drop. DONT do this!

[@justinhenderson4901]

[@garymooney9992]

I got burnt out with the grind one week ago after this patch I will grind twice as much as before 😂 goodjob devs

[@Clockwork-Heart]

O_o? The grind isn't changing though?

[@stevie9361]

You still need to level 40 normal descendants and their ultimates for mastery rank.

[@Clockwork-Heart]

Yep. Just as I did in WF, craft the prime and level the base/subsume before freeing the slot to accept the prime.

[@redcobra1246]

If they make it so that all progress on descendants translate to their ultimate version I can finally play so many characters I've been holding off from playing. Activators and catalysts take too long to farm and craft for characters that will be replaced

[@kevinallen1428]

If you play the game naturally with a powerful Bunny and Enzo, farming activators and catalysts is easy. I have 8 CC and 7 EA blueprints along with 6 completed of each in my inventory. The big issue is the slow character and weapon XP leveling. I'm glad they said it's going to get reworked. It's way too slow which surprised me because in the beta it was much better to me.

[@redcobra1246]

@@kevinallen1428 I have plenty, it's the crafting time that's the problem. I prefer using those catalysts and activators on ultimate descendants and weapons

[@alexmercer852]

I hope that is not only sweet words from Nexon.

[@wilddropbear7215]

i thin the Reactor substates need to match the element type, For an example you can't get none fire element boosts on a fire reactor, we should also be able to auto scrap reactors unless they roll with a combination of states we want

[@Patrick-nf3ot]

I hope the socket change applies to guns also same as characters guns should be able to have multi builds

[@XSoulgamez]

What’s makes me go straight to the ultimate is the fact the energy socket and catalyst are wayyyy to expensive and or takes forever to grind for , so y tf would I waste all tht on a basic descendant

[@Clockwork-Heart]

Mastery exp. Level the base and dismiss once you can replace with ult. Dont need to invest in them to craft/level.

[@vupartsupermud1995]

They have time limits in their boss fights, and team wipe mechanics, of course players are going for damage

[@Acuas]

We need the same trade system that Warframe has, I think Warframe will be a better game to play as long as they don't add that, by the simple fact that there are things like extra inventory space for descendants that you can't get as a f2p player, while in Warframe, you can trade for the premium currency, and then buy the stuff from the shop that you want, and that will matter more the more things they add, since if they add more descendants and ultimate weapons, we will need more space every time.

[@kevinallen1428]

"We need this from Warframe, and we need that Warframe and how come they don't do this but Warframe does......." Go play Warframe and stay there if it's so great. TFD is 2 months old, WF has an 11 year head start. They just can't implement everything you like in every other game at launch. They do need free ways to unlock more character slots though. They should be scattered in the free slots on the season BP and also in the Supply pass where you can get them using the coins from the weekly challenges.

[@Acuas]

@@kevinallen1428 You're forgetting that Warframe is their main competitor, and they copied almost the entire game from them, but forgot to copy the most esential system, and that just happens to be the one that is the core system on why the monetization on the game is good, and not an abusive piece of trash. People that are saying stuff like "we need X from Warframe" should be the one everyone listens to, because we seem to be the ones that actually care for a better game, instead of just sucking nexon's dick and eating their shit without complaining, just because "the game has been out 2 months", well sure, and they had years in development to see what warframe is doing, and why it's a success, and decided to not copy the most important system. TFD has the potential to be good, with the polarity update that is coming now, the build crafting in the game, will be, in my opinion, better than warframe, but all that goes to hell, when you need to pay if you want to continue playing the game and unlocking all Descendants.

[@youtubename3838]

need a pity system. I enjoy the game, but there is shadiness going on with drop rates that I am documenting over 8 individual accounts. So far I have documented proof that you will almost never get drops on things you browse in the store, but are much more likely to get drops for a descendant if you browse their cosmetics in the store. the percentage drops drastically on whatever the final piece you need is. AI is also much more aggressive, their defense raises (only when you shoot them) and will target you primarily if you are attempting to farm said last piece. Pieces also drop more readily if you are in a private party BUT DO NOT use the chat function or you lose the drop buff. Pulls are more successful if you screen record or screenshot, however this buff does not seem to apply on PC for some reason. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! I am documenting all of this to show Nexon that we are on to them, and I cant be the only one who has gathered proof using the scientific method. Depending on their response, I will post across multiple platforms and send it to multiple youtubers who speak about TFD.

[@Clockwork-Heart]

I agree with the rates being false but man I'm ngl, that sounds like some alien abduction level of paranoia, lmao.

[@youtubename3838]

@@Clockwork-Heart everyone’s complaining but nobody is doing anything about it. i’ll be honest, i’m doing this almost entirely out of spite, and a lil chunk of pure curiosity as to how it all works. it took me 263 pulls to get Ultimate Gley Stabilizer. Thats not 6% and its nearly a mathematical impossibility. I started documenting after 60 pulls, and some friends said we should document more. now we have 8 tester accounts, with 3 of them serving as the control group. Since learning what we have, its made farming on my actual account much less stressful. just shady af how it works, and slightly annoying what has to be done just to get closer to the stated rates. theyve been sued twice for this already, and its about time they learn their damn lesson

Bruh, smoke a joint and calm down. It aint that serious. They said already a pity system is coming. Stop wasting your time. 8 accounts? Seriously?

@@kevinallen1428 not all mine? Just my main and a control. wouldnt be much of an experiment if everything was on the same ip address. and now that weve figured out how to manipulate the system intended to manipulate the player, weve been getting everything we were trying to farm at a much faster rate. wasting time is the near mathematical impossibility that was well over 200 pulls for a supposed 6% rate. I gave you the info, so why u b1tching? I like the game and want to see it supported with a high player count long term, which is why I’m privately forwarding to Nexon to give them a chance, while publicly withholding damaging facts weve uncovered if they wont help you squeeze more enjoyment out.

you should be able to farm out a normal descendent in a day of play, so about 4- 6 hours. they should be like demo versions of the ultimates.
