Studio Offering Compensation to Those Affected at Draw System Changes in Once Human

Back in January, developer Starry Studio optimized the Lightforge Loot Crate system of Once Human. These were a result of suggestions by the players. Of course, it didn't go without a hitch.

In a post, the studio revealed that the revamped Lightforge Loot Crate system has resulted in the reduction to the cost of obtaining individual rewards. For a lot of players who drew rewards under the previous system, they felt rather "disadvantaged." The good news is that there's going to be compensation to players who opened Lightforge Loot Crates as part of the previous system. The only catch is that this is only for those who opened them from August 15, 2024, to December 19, 2024. Details include:

  • For those who obtained 1–4 Lightforge Collection items under the previous system, they can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 5× Lightforge Ingots.
  • For those who obtained 5–9 Lightforge Collection items under the previous system, they can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 10× Lightforge Ingots.
  • For those who obtained 10+ Lightforge Collection items under the previous system, they can spend 1× Energy Link to redeem 1× Lightforge Gem and 10× Lightforge Ingots.


In addition, all players can spend 1× Lightforge Relic to redeem 1× Lightforge Ingot and 1× Lightforge Relic. These benefits are available at the "Lightforge Loot Crate: Frostshade" Redemption Shop until February 26. The studio also said that future paid content is going to have a uniform acquisition method across all platforms to ensure consistent pricing.

Once Human invites players to an open-world where they can explore an absorbing post-apocalyptic Earth that’s been overrun by an extraterrestrial entity known as Stardust. This entity has the unique ability to infect and alter every known form of life on Earth that includes humans, animals, and even plants. Players join the game as a Meta-Human who is immune to contamination and capable of harnessing the powers of Stardust. As a result, they’ve become a beacon of hope in a crumbling world.

The core feature of the game is combat as it offers exciting battles against diverse foes who were once fellow humans. There are also intense clashes with powerful bosses from another realm. In addition to ensuring their survival, the actions of the players in battle ultimately play a role in the welfare of other survivors.
