Nexon's free-to-play looter- shooter The First Descendant - "Nexon's Warframe", as the wags are calling it on Steam - launched this week and has encountered a few snags and snaffaroos , including beta rewards not showing up, Easy Anti-Cheat not running correctly, frame-rate drops for people who downloaded in advance of release, and players finding their merry way to servers where no other players exist. Nexon are even now patching the game, and have plied players with in-game bonuses and cosmetics as an apology for the inconvenience. The bonuses basically consist of being able to level up faster and paint your guns red.
Here's the rundown. - Gold Gain Boost +30% (Duration 3 days) - Kyper Shard Gain Boost +30% (Duration 3 days) - Descendant EXP Gain Boost +30% (Duration 3 days) - Weapon Mastery EXP Gain Boost +30% (Duration 3 days) - 2 x Matte Red Paints These boost items will activate immediately upon your claiming them from the mailbox, so you might want to save them for a happier time when you understand what the hell a Kyper Shard is. For context, The First Descendant pits you and up to three friends equipped with sci-firearms and accessories such as grappling hooks against the snobby alien Vulgus and a bunch of cursed war golems called Colossi.
The latter are after the Ironheart, a mystic energy source said to lie somewhere on your home planet, Ingris. It sounds like Kyper Shards will help with all that. I think the red paint is more of a fashion thing.
All the talk of pe.
