The First Descendant, a new MMORPG looter shooter, faced severe server issues on its second day of release. Players experienced difficulties connecting to the game, with some even getting disconnected during missions. After multiple outages and server maintenance sessions, the game is back online, and players are receiving compensation in the form of boosts. Despite the setbacks, the community is hopeful for a smoother experience on day three.

However, the server issues persisted, leading to The First Descendant going into maintenance mode. The team at Nexon acknowledged the ongoing problems and assured players they were working on a solution. The game’s reliance on Microsoft’s Azure network contributed to the instability, with some players still experiencing issues.

As players eagerly awaited a resolution, the servers remained offline, preventing access to the game. The team continued to investigate the cause of the outages and work towards a fix. While frustrated by the situation, players remained optimistic about The First Descendant’s future as a popular Xbox game.

Despite the setbacks, players can access The First Descendant on various platforms and download it for free on the Microsoft Store. As the team works to resolve the server issues, players are encouraged to stay updated on the latest developments.
