■ (#7)(Resolved) An issue where equipping the Raven Transcendent Module "Law of the Back Alley" causes additional damage higher than intended
- We have identified an issue where, when equipping the Raven Transcendent Module "Law of the Back Alley," the additional damage per "Edict" effect during firearm attacks is applied higher than the value displayed in the tooltip. - When Max Shield exceeds a certain value, abnormally high damage is being dealt. - This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the 1.4.3 update.
| # Designer’s Comments - Due to the above issue, "Law of the Back Alley" has been performing higher than intended. - However, even taking this issue into account, we believe the module's base design performance was set somewhat low. Therefore, rather than only fixing the issue, we are also preparing a skill performance buff alongside it. - In other words, this will not be a simple nerf. We will correct the abnormally functioning aspects while also improving the originally insufficient performance, and we will share the details once preparations are complete. |

We kindly ask that you equip a Fellow while playing until this issue is resolved.
■ (#2)(Resolved) An issue where the Damage Interval is incorrectly displayed in the tooltip of the Transcendent Weapon 'Emperor's Guard Lance'
- We have identified an issue where the Damage Interval is incorrectly displayed in the tooltip for the Transcendent Weapon 'Emperor's Guard Lance'.

- This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the 1.4.2 patch.
[Previous Known Issues]
■ (#2)(Resolved) An issue where the Max HP x % and Max Shield x % Values for "HP Imprint" and "Shield Imprint" Variable Code in Trials Are Displayed Incorrectly- We have identified an issue where the tooltips for "HP Imprint" and "Shield Imprint" display an incorrect calculation ratio for the additional damage based on Max HP/Shield.
ㄴ HP Imprint: The tooltip states that this damage ignores Critical Hit immunity and increases damage by Max HP x 60%, but it actually increases damage by Max HP x 0.6%.
