Kuro Games found that the Echo recycling system in Wuthering Waves 1.0 wasn’t giving the right amount of Shell Credits after a developed Echo was recycled, which heavily impacted the game’s balance. Here’s what the devs described:

“As part of the measures to minimize the event’s impact on the fairness within the player community, we informed the players of the situation and announced that we would remove all additional Shell Credits obtained unexpectedly as a result of this bug within 14 business days and issue compensations accordingly.

However, due to the urgency of this issue, we failed to issue an announcement of this issue in the first instance, which regrettably caused negative experiences for our players. We sincerely apologize for our improper way of handling this situation and the inconvenience caused.”

“Upon discovering this issue, we promptly corrected the description and issued compensations to all Rovers. We have also initiated a comprehensive internal review of the localized versions of the in-game texts across all the languages that we support.
