What you need to know
- The First Descendant is a brand-new, MMORPG looter shooter that has been making waves in the video games community.
- On day two of its official release, though, The First Descendant’s servers experienced plenty of issues.
- Many players reported being unable to connect to the game at all, and others reported sporadic disconnects even while in the middle of missions.
- After multiple outages and two bouts of server maintenance, it seems The First Descendant is finally back (and players are being compensated for the inconvenience).
Update, July 3, 2024 — Updated now that the second round of server maintenance for The First Descendant is over.
The First Descendant has barely been playable for basically the entirety of its second day, but the server issues have (hopefully) been fully resolved now. Nexon has concluded its second round of server maintenance on the game and The First Descendant is back online. I can confirm that you can login with no delays or latency.
As compensation for the hours of downtime today, Nexon is gifting all players who log on in the next five days a collection of 3-day, 30% gain boosts for Gold, Kuiper Shard, Descendant XP, and Weapon XP. Players can redeem their compensation rewards from the mailbox at HQ, and the boosts will activate immediately upon redemption.
Hopefully, day three will go a lot smoother for The First Descendant, which needs a strong win to secure a healthy future. If you want to get all the details on the entire situation as it happened, our original article and updates continue directly below.
The server maintenance has been completed, and gameplay is now available. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the extended maintenance and have prepared compensation.For more details: https://t.co/BIpy88Rx2j■ Maintenance Completion07/03 (Wed) 20:25 PDT…July 4, 2024
Update, July 3, 2024 — Updated with The First Descendant server issues cropping up again.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably like me — still experiencing server issues with The First Descendant. Nexon did warn that there would be server instability for a while when the game came back online, but players (including myself) are experiencing more than simple instability. The previous server connection issue preventing players from even getting past the main menu is rearing its ugly head again.
Hopefully, it really is a temporary side effect of all the work Nexon likely had to do on The First Descendant servers today, and our hours of (involuntary) patience will result in healthier, more stable servers moving forward. For now, though, it seems like Day Two of The First Descendant is going to dominated by server outages and issues, with players once again prevented from even setting foot in Ingris.
Update, July 3, 2024 — Updated now that The First Descendant servers are starting to come back online.
Descendants have been waiting for a long time to resume the war against the Vulgus, and it appears the gates are beginning to open once more. The First Descendant team at Nexon has confirmed that servers are coming back online and players will be able to attempt to connect again, but there is a caveat.
According to Nexon,…
