While fans have mostly appreciated the update, there is one aspect of the game that has become a concern. In trying to balance the game, especially the Invasion Dungeons, Nexon has announced that they are nerfing it down. However, this backfired a bit, as players are now complaining that the dungeons will become too easy for them.

Invasion Dungeons are one of the major highlights of the new update. However, as soon as they were added to the game, complaints started to surface of them being too difficult. Many players criticised the move from Nexon as Invasion Dungeons require too much grinding and skills for completion.

According to many, the puzzles in the dungeons are already tricky to complete. However, attempting to clear the dungeon without being full-build and having a maxed-out descendant became next to impossible for players. The biggest gripe the players had with Invasion Dungeons was that it could only be attempted in solo mode.

Nexon was quick to interact with the community and act upon the situation, as it has been confirmed that Invasion Dungeons are getting nerfed. However, the reverse is happening now, with the community complaining about dungeons becoming too easy.

According to Reddit user u/Ecool272, Nexon is listening to the community and nerfing the difficulty of dungeons is worrisome. The user also pointed out that the hardness exposed several things in regard to the incapability of the players. Ultimately, hard content should be left untouched and let players understand that it is tough for a reason.

As mentioned before, Nexon has already addressed the earlier complaints regarding the difficulty of Invasion Dungeons. Hence, they are being nerfed to adjust the difficulty.

The new balance update in The First Descendant will reduce the difficulty of puzzles, increase the number of spawn monsters and buff inversion reinforcement. All the updates will come out next week with the 1.1.1 update.
