While The First Descendant has had a fairly successful launch, breaking its own Steam player count peak several times during its first week, one major player complaint concerns its lack of matchmaking in Hard Mode. Players quickly noticed that there\u2019s no option for random matchmaking when playing missions on Hard Mode, meaning they need to either get a group of friends together to play co-op or attempt to solo it. Fortunately, the developers have heard the criticism and are working on a solution. In a post shared to its various social media accounts, Nexon said, \u201cWe\u2019re preparing a hotfix that includes matchmaking for public Infiltration Operation (Dungeon) on Hard Mode.\u201d While no date or further details were included, the devs promised \u201cWe\u2019ll update as soon as possible.\u201d Players \u2013 including those who had been critical of Nexon \u2013 were quick to praise the devs for the impending fix, with one top response on Twitter\/X reading, \u201cGreat change coming in from the team! Just keep listening to the community and you guys will have a hell of a game!\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see dev are listening,\u201d said a Reddit user. The lack of matchmaking in Hard Mode already had players concerned about late-game content, with many saying they\u2019d stop playing at a certain point without it. That seems to be changing, though, with one player saying, \u201cKudos to the dev team, brilliant decision. This will increase the longevity of the game exponentially.\u201d The dev\u2019s relatively quick response and decision to incorporate player feedback also has some hopeful that they\u2019ll implement additional suggestions from The First Descendant community, such as changes to the dye system and \u201crage inducing\u201d grind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The First Descendant is finally getting a fan-requested Hard Mode change Nexon GamesThe First Descendant developer Nexon has announced an upcoming hotfix that will add matchmaking to Hard Mode, fixing an issue that has frustrated players since launch.
