After facing heat from players regarding the character drop rates, 'Star Savior' has promised a drastic overhaul.

Since its official launch on the 20th, Studiobside’s new title 'Star Savior' has been bombarded with demands for change. While the character designs, the core 'Journey' content, and the main and sub-stories were met with genuine praise, the steep barrier to actually acquiring these characters left a bitter taste for many.

In response, Studiobside CEO Ryu Geum-tae front-ran the schedule, holding an apology and improvement livestream on the night of the 25th at 10 PM. "I offer my sincerest apologies for our complacent response," Ryu admitted, noting that while he should have engaged with the community much sooner, it took some time to nail down a concrete path forward.

The meat of the announcement lies in improved drop rates and compensation to soothe the sting felt by players. The combined drop rate for SSR Saviors and Arcana will jump from 2.5% to 4%, while pick-up characters and Arcana rates double from 1% to 2%. Furthermore, for every 66 'observations' (pulls), players will receive one random SSR Savior box. The system uses a round-up logic, meaning 67 pulls would net you two boxes.

For the ongoing 'Smile' Savior pick-up, players will receive an SSR character selection box for every 100 observations, also rounded up. These adjustments are slated for the 27th, with rewards being distributed sequentially as the data processing finishes. To ease the pain of early adopters, they are also introducing a 'reroll' support feature and gifting one SSR character selection box—including the rare 'Cosmic' attribute—to all players.

A laundry list of other quality-of-life improvements is also on the way. Daily and weekly missions that forced players into monetization-heavy tasks or mandatory PvP rank matches will be overhauled or scrapped. Inventory space will also be expanded to 500 slots, with full refunds offered for previous Starlight Stone expenditures. These updates are expected within December.

The tedious daily growth material dungeons, known as 'Exploration Requests,' will receive a 'sweep' (auto-clear) feature by January at the latest. Meanwhile, the global alert messages that broadcast when someone else pulls an SSR Savior or Arcana will be axed on the 27th. "It was my own lapse in judgment, trapped by old-school conventions, and for that, I am sorry," Ryu conceded.

CEO Ryu concluded the broadcast by stating, "The development team is listening to feedback across the board, even beyond what was discussed today. I don't want to cause more confusion by speaking without a clear plan, so we will share a detailed roadmap as soon as it's ready." He added, "We might be late to the party, but we won't run away or give up. We’ll do our absolute best to refine Star Savior into a game that earns your respect."
