Greetings, Star Guardians.
This is PD Koo of .
We would like to briefly follow up on some of the feedback shared through AMA Season 3 that we were unable to address in detail at the time.
In particular, we received a great deal of feedback regarding opportunities to obtain heroes through reruns, as well as the difficulty faced by Star Guardians who joined us in Britannia later when trying to obtain previously released heroes.
We would like to share the direction our development team is currently preparing in response to this feedback.
■ Improvements to Enchantment and Engraving Bonus Rerolls
Our development team has been discussing the random elements in progression systems, one of the areas that has received the most feedback from Star Guardians. We are well aware of the fatigue many Star Guardians feel due to these random elements in progression, and we are preparing improvements to help ease this burden.
As a first step, we plan to ease the process of rerolling weapon Enchantments and Engraving Bonuses on Engraved Equipment.
We are currently targeting Version 2.3 for these improvements. As we are still discussing various ways to refine these systems, we will share more details on how the changes will be implemented in the next Developer Notes.
■ Daily Mission Revamp to Ease the Burden of Obtaining Heroes
We are well aware of the burden that both long-time Star Guardians and those who have only recently arrived in Britannia may feel when it comes to obtaining heroes. We are considering several ways to ease this burden, and the first step we are preparing to take is a revamp of the Daily Mission system.
We are currently working toward implementing these improvements with Version 2.2. Through the revamped system, simply completing Daily Missions consistently will allow you to obtain certain heroes that can help support your progression, with a guaranteed path to acquiring them. While it may take some time, our goal is to create a system that allows you to obtain the heroes you need simply by playing consistently.
The first hero we plan to make available through this system is Daisy. Through the recent poll and other feedback we have received, we have seen that many Star Guardians feel a strong need for certain heroes, as well as the burden that can come with obtaining them. To help ease this burden, Daisy will be the first hero made available through this system.
That said, as Daisy will also be included as one of the choices in the upcoming Selective Pick Up, we felt it was important to share this information in advance with Star Guardians who may be considering which hero to select.
The list of heroes obtainable through Daily Missions will primarily include SSR heroes available from the Regular Hero Draw. In addition, certain Pick Up SSR heroes that are normally available only for a limited time, such as Daisy, will also be made available for selection through this system.
We also plan to periodically expand the selection of heroes available through Daily Missions around key occasions such as anniversaries and the New Year.
■ Star Trace Crystalloid Exchange for Selective Pick Up Heroes
We are aware that many Star Guardians have asked whether Potential Points for heroes featured in the Selective Pick Up will also be available through the Star Trace Crystalloid Exchange Shop.
For these heroes, the Star Trace Crystalloid exchange will retain the exchange status from their original Pick Up period.
For Star Guardians who have not previously completed the exchange, the Star Trace Crystalloid exchange will become available when the event opens. For those who have already completed the exchange, it will continue to be displayed as completed.
■ Bag Expansion and Special Codex Updates
✦ Bag Expansion
Many Star Guardians have shared feedback requesting additional Bag space. We plan to increase the Bag capacity, with additional space provided at no cost. We are also preparing further expansion options through products such as monthly subscriptions and Battle Passes.
✦ Obtaining General-Grade Weapons for the Special Codex
Many Star Guardians have also shared feedback regarding the burden of obtaining General-grade weapons while working toward completing the Special Codex. As Star Guardians continue playing and making further progress in the Special Codex, we believe this has led more players to encounter this difficulty and share their feedback with us.
Alongside the Daily Mission revamp planned for Version 2.2, we will provide Seals from a wider variety of villages and update the items offered by Seal Merchants. Through these changes, we plan to provide an additional way to obtain General-grade weapons through exchanges with Seal Merchants.
With the Version 2.1 update, we have eased some of the Raid Pledge conditions mentioned in the previous Developer Notes, including same-Attribute team requirements and 5-player party conditions.
We have also made ‘10 Transcendence Engraving Stones’ and ‘30 Transcendence Refinement Stones’ available for exchange each week through the Raid Shop.
While we are planning to provide additional Cube Keys through the Daily Mission revamp in Version 2.2, many Star Guardians have shared feedback about not having enough keys. To provide more keys sooner, we have added an additional Giveaway Event. Starting after tomorrow’s update and continuing until the Version 2.2 update, we plan to provide 40 additional Cube Keys each day through the Giveaway Event.
We will continue to address the feedback shared through the AMA in future updates, prioritizing areas where we are able to respond more quickly.
As mentioned in the previous Developer Notes, we plan to address the topics we have not yet been able to respond to through an additional Developer Notes next week. We will also share any additional points under discussion based on this AMA, including on topics we have already addressed.
Thanks to the support and interest shown by so many Star Guardians throughout our Half-Anniversary, was selected as one of the 2026 Best Games of the Year by KOCCA.
We believe Origin still has many areas where we fall short and much that we need to improve. Even so, we believe we were able to receive this recognition thanks to the continued love and support of Star Guardians in Korea and around the world.
Once again, we sincerely thank all of our Star Guardians around the world. As a small token of our appreciation, we have prepared a gift for you.
