Summary
Once Human’s developers are giving players free items as an apology for recent issues they’ve faced during gameplay.Once Humanwas released in July 2024 and is developed by Starry Studio, which is a subsidiary of NetEase, a gaming company making strides within the live-service gaming world. NetEase has most recently gained attention fromMarvel Rivals, anOverwatchcompetitor. AlthoughOnce Humanhas recently celebrated milestones with item giveaways, it appears that giveaways is also how the developers apologize to fans.
Players havecomplained about the quality-of-life inOnce Human, describing issues with the co-op gameplay experience like frequent lag and a lack of features like cross-server play. Other issues include gamers being forced to create new characters to play with newcomers, making what could be an otherwise enjoyable experience a hassle to get through. It appears that Starry Studio has largely taken note of these problems, specifically those tied to server issues.
Players are getting server-wide compensation for dealing with lag issues duringOnce Humangameplay. Starry Studio released a statement apologizing for the lag many players are facing and a roadmap for its fixes followingOnce Human’s September update. As an apology and to thank the players for their patience, Starry Studio is giving players items including Starchrom, Mitsuko’s Mark, Stardust Source, Gunpowder, and Canned Seafood in Oil. The first round of server performance optimizations was slated for October 11, and the next round of optimizations is set to arrive on October 17.
On October 17, a new PvE scenario is being added, and other adjustments and tweaks will be introduced along the way.Once Humanis Starry Studio’s first release, so it may be natural to expect some core issues with the experience as its developers learn to account for and fix problems that gamers don’t face in other titles. Alternatively, Starry Studio and NetEase are counting on this release to do well, and the more competitivethe market for live-service games likeOnce Humanbecomes, the more costly issues like these are since they could potentially drive audiences away.
Free Items Coming To Once Human
Once Humanplayers had a largely positive response to this new announcement, even if a few gamers have voiced other complaints now that they’re aware Starry Studio is listening. Some players want the developer to do away with loot crates entirely, since they find those aspects just as damaging to the gameplay experience, and others just want to see a mobile version ofOnce Humanwith crossplayreleased. The bigger the game gets, the more issues Starry Studio may have to tackle, though it’s nice to see players rewarded for pushing through the problems thus far.

WHERE TO PLAY
The apocalypse changed everything. Human, animal, plant… all are infested by an alien creature – Stardust. As a Meta-Human, you can survive the contamination and use the power of Stardust. Play alone or join others to fight, build and explore. When the world is in chaos, you are our last hope.You wake up in the middle of nowhere. You’ll have to brace yourself for the cruelty of nature (from monsters to lack of food); however, Stardust’s influence does not restrict to living things, it also affects the soil and water. Eating polluted food and drinking dirty water will reduce your Sanity. When your Sanity drops, your max HP would drop accordingly. To eat or not to eat, it’s a question.Battle numerous enemies that are once human, and challenge bosses from another dimension to gain powerful items and ease Stardust pollution. You are not only fighting for yourself, but also fighting for the survivors.
