(Update) The First Descendant decides nerfing the best weapons and patching fun exploits is for lame live service games, adapts a different approach

The First Descendant characters: Valby.

What you need to know

• "Nerfing" is a common term in live service game communities, referring to powerful weapons, builds, abilities, and exploits being weakened, removed, or tweaked.
• Nerfs can be necessary to preserve balance, but oftentimes seem to prioritize that balance over players having fun.
• The First Descendant seems to be taking an opposite approach, however, with the Nexon team committing multiple times to embracing player discoveries.
• Except, Nexon is also incredibly awful at delivering precise, consistent information to players, with the now-released 1.04 patch update being mired in pointless controversy over conflicting messaging.
