Special Notes on Beastmaster Beast Whistle Feature and Future Optimization Plans

Read captured notes

Dear Metas,We have observed that since the class update on September 16(PT, all dates in this announcement are in PT), players have continuously reported an issue where beast whistles fail to summon animals. This is due to adjustments we made to the way animals are summoned and Beast Whistle is used in this Beastmaster riding ability update. The specific rule changes are as follows:Before the adjustment: Beastmasters needed to first raise animals in the territory, then bind the corresponding animal via beast whistle, and finally use the beast whistle in the wild to summon animals for exploration and combat.After the adjustment: Beastmasters carry the corresponding animal with them and can directly use the corresponding animal item to summon it.The original three types of beast whistles have now been merged into one "Beast Whistle". The whistle no longer needs to be bound to a specific animal and only serves to command animals. After summoning an animal, using the "Beast Whistle" again will issue commands to the summoned animal. The original Red Beast Whistle has been directly renamed to "Beast Whistle" and retained; the other two types of whistles have not been uniformly recalled, and Beastmasters can actively use them to transform them into the new "Beast Whistle".We also noticed that the current Beastmaster experience still has room for continuous optimization. Here we'd like to share the upcoming optimization plan:1. After the September 28 version update, Beastmaster players can use a single Beast Whistle to command multiple animals simultaneously. We will continue to optimize the behavior logic of summoned animals so that they respond to Beast Whistle commands more naturally and reasonably.2. Considering the future increase in the number of summonable animals and how the Beast Whistle is used alongside them, we will further improve how Beast Whistle works in the November 4 version update. When carrying a Beast Whistle, Beastmasters can directly use the tag button (defaults: Middle Mouse Button on PC, Tag button on mobile, double-tap Up on the D-pad for controller) to directly issue commands to animals.3. After actual testing, we found that the current "Nimble" trait's effect does not match expectations. Due to difficulties in identifying and fixing the root cause, we expect to resolve this issue in the October 21 version Update.4. In the current version, we've noticed a large number of Metas reporting issues regarding "Beastmaster animal carry load." After investigation, the weight-reduction buff for Beastmaster-carried animals is working correctly, but the load value is not displaying properly in the item details (for example, a Bear's load is actually 10.5, but it still displays as 35). We will fix this display issue in the September 28 version update so that it matches the actual reduced weight.That's the end of this announcement. If you have any questions, please contact us via the Feedback Platform (Once Human Feedback Platform) or in-game Customer Service. Thank you for your continued understanding and support.Once Human Development Team

Version 3.0.6 Update Announcement (September 16)

Read captured notes

Dear Metas,We have scheduled server maintenance and an update for September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT). The maintenance is expected to last about 3 hours, but the actual server opening time may differ. Please manage your time wisely. This update brings: Beast Riding Goes Live, Gardener Combat Improvements and Animal Ranching System Optimizations, Permanent Scenario Server Merge Plan, Isles of Abyss Pioneer Test, Lightforge Loot Crate "Moon That Lingers", combat balance adjustments, and more, along with recent bug fixes. After this maintenance, all players will receive the following rewards: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate: S14 (Epic) ×1, and Colorful Badge ×30! This update size: PS5 launcher approx. 9. 603 GB, PS5 in-game approx. 56 MB, XBOX launcher approx. 13. 03 GB, XBOX in-game approx. 56 MB; PC launcher approx. 7. 55 GB, PC in-game approx. 254 MB (Note: If Steam platform push is delayed, duplicate downloads may occur); Android approx. 1. 8 GB, iOS approx. 1. 8 GB (actual size may vary). We recommend updating over a Wi-Fi connection! The next update is scheduled for September 28, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT). Please take note of the time. Below are the details of this update:Content/Feature UpdatesBeast Riding Goes Live, Gardener Combat Improvements, and Animal Ranching System OptimizationsIn this version update, we will roll out a major overhaul to the Class system: the Beastmaster class will be fully revamped with the Beast Riding ability, and the animal ranching system will also see synchronized improvements to ranching rules and info display. Additionally, we will make balance adjustments to the Gardeners' combat capabilities. I. Beastmaster Comprehensive Revamp1. New Core Ability: Beast RidingAfter this update, Beastmasters will gain a new core ability: Beast Riding. Beastmasters can directly summon animals and mount eligible ones. Centered around summoning, riding, commanding, evolving, and trading, this update will systematically expand the Beastmaster's abilities. 2. Changes to the Animal Summoning RulesIn this update, we will simplify the animal summoning rules: Metas can use animal items directly from their backpack or hotbar to summon the corresponding animal; using the animal item again will recall the animal (summoning animals has a 10-second shared cooldown). Regarding the summon count, since the Beastmaster's abilities have undergone a full overhaul, we originally planned for each Beastmaster to only be able to summon 1 animal at a time. At the same time, we need to be upfront with everyone about the timeline for this adjustment:1) After the September 16 version update (PT): Due to version development and testing schedules, and to ensure version stability, when this iteration goes live, each Beastmaster will only be able to summon 1 animal at a time;2) After the September 28 version update (PT): This will be adjusted so that the Beastmaster can summon 3 animals simultaneously (the simultaneous summon limit for non-Beastmaster classes is 1). This means that From September 16 to September 28 (PT)【原:from September 17 to September 28 (PT)】, Beastmasters will still briefly be subject to the summon count restriction. We know this arrangement will continue to cause inconvenience during this period, and this is the result of our previous plan's lack of foresight. We offer our sincere apologies to all Metas. Regarding animal summon rules, please note the following:1) Only adult animals with sufficient Energy (>20%) can be summoned. 2) Summoned animals will default to an idle state, and Beastmasters can issue commands to them via Beast Whistle. 3) Each time an animal dies, it will lose a certain amount of Energy. 4) Non-Beastmaster classes can also summon animals with saddles equipped in the wild for riding, but cannot summon them inside dungeons or during combat. 3. Riding RulesBareback RidingWhen encountering unoccupied wild animals in the wild, or summoning animals without saddles, Beastmasters can mount them directly through interactions. Each bareback riding consumes a certain amount of character Stamina; Bareback riding is not possible when stamina is insufficient. Animals without saddles will resist the Beastmaster: while mounted, the animal's max stamina will be limited, its special abilities cannot be used, and the animal will attempt to break free. Saddle RidingAfter equipping an animal with a saddle, the beastmaster can ride it stably. Beastmasters can use saddle items from their backpack, drag the saddle onto the animal, modify the gear in the animal's details, or directly equip the saddle while the animal is anesthetized. While riding, Metas can fire using weapons, perform melee attacks, and engage in gathering, interactions, using consumables, and using Deviation ability without special animations. Performing actions with special animations (such as opening weapon crates, teleporting, or switching worlds) will immediately dismount you. 4. Animal Mount AbilityFor Beastmasters, the animal's special ability can be used while mounted with a saddle. Triggered with the Ctrl key on PC, by tapping the dedicated button on Mobile, and with the R1+X/RB+A button combination on console. *Non-Beastmaster classes cannot use animal special abilities or benefit from their effects. In the current version, the animals supported for riding are Deer, Boar, Bear, and Wild Buffalo. We will continue to expand the types of ridable animals in the future. Wild animals do not possess active/passive skills themselves; only Beastmasters can utilize these abilities when riding with a saddle. 5. Class Trait AdjustmentsBeast PartnerWhen a Beastmaster approaches an animal, the animal will not flee or attack, and the Beastmaster can directly listen to the animal's thoughts and check its Stats and Traits. The Beastmaster can also use the Beast Whistle to issue commands to summoned beast partners, directing them to perform specific actions such as combat and gathering. A Beastmaster cannot issue commands to animals that are more than 10 levels above their own level. Animals summoned using animal items default to a waiting-to-mount state and will only enter an assisting state after the Beastmaster issues a command via the Beast Whistle. Non-Beastmaster classes can also summon combat animals, but the summoned animals do not possess combat abilities. The original three types of Beast Whistles will be merged into one. The whistle is no longer bound to a specific animal and only serves to command animals. Beastmasters will learn its crafting formula by default. The original red beast whistle will be directly renamed to "Beast Whistle" and retained; the other two types of whistles will not be uniformly recalled, and Beastmasters can actively use them to transform them into the new "Beast Whistle". This update will not uniformly recall old whistles, nor will it uniformly distribute new whistles. Breeding ExpertBeastmasters can craft gene items to perform targeted modifications on animal genes, granting animals unique traits; they can also gradually improve the level of animal trait attributes through breeding and exploration. This update will also adjust animal trait attributes, adding 7 new attribute groups and adjusting 2 existing attribute groups. The movement speed bonus for animals while mounted is a separate stat from the movement speed bonus for animals in normal state. The default animal movement speed bonus does not apply to animals while mounted, but it still applies to animals summoned to assist in combat and exploration. (An animal's mounted state and combat state are separate behavioral states; traits that apply to the combat state cannot take effect in the mounted state. )Wilderness MasterBeastmasters can craft and replace gear and saddles for animals, providing ability bonuses for animals in normal and mounted states respectively; they can also sell saddled animals to other Metas, allowing other classes to ride animals as well. When Beastmasters carry animals, they can also significantly reduce the animals' weight. *Only Beastmasters can craft and replace animal gear and saddles. Metas of non-Beastmaster classes can only check the gear and saddles currently equipped on animals and cannot replace or change them, but they can still benefit from existing saddle effects. After a Beastmaster trades an animal wearing a saddle to another Meta, the ownership permissions for the corresponding animal and saddle will be adjusted accordingly. 6. Class Starting Items and Default Formula AdjustmentsBeastmasters start with the following items:Starting Partner: Choose one animal from Deer, Boar, or Bear. Beast Whistle: Issue commands to summoned Beast Partners. Basic Saddle: Equip it on an animal to unlock mounting ability. Beastmasters start with mastery of saddle, animal ranching, animal breeding, and tranquilizer throwing needle-related tech formulas without needing to unlock them separately. They also master the crafting formulas for tranquilizer throwing needles, animal troughs, and youngling huts. 7. Beastmaster Usability OptimizationManual FeedingTo make it easier for Metas to ride animals in the wild, this update adds a manual feeding feature. After summoning an animal, Metas can interact with it to feed it manually. The feedable content matches the animal's preferred food. Animals with insufficient Energy cannot be summoned. If a Meta attempts to summon such an animal through the backpack interface, the system will automatically open the feeding interface. Please note: Animals in ranching state within a territory do not support manual feeding. II. Animal Ranching System OptimizationThis update will also synchronize adjustments to the animal ranching system, with the core objective of reducing daily maintenance burden and making ranching rules clearer. 1. Simplified Ranching Maintenance RulesIn the current version, Metas need to simultaneously monitor multiple stats such as Tameness, Energy, and Hydration, which results in high maintenance costs and a lack of intuitiveness. After this adjustment, the core judgment for animal ranching will focus on Energy:(1) Animals will no longer have Tameness or Hydration stats. (2) Rules for growth, breeding, byproduct production, and slaughter yields will all be governed by Energy. (3) The "Docile" trait related to Tameness will lose its effect and be replaced with a new one—increasing the growth speed of younglings. (4) Trait attributes will be unlocked sequentially when animals reach Lv. 20, 30, 40, and 50. Traits already unlocked before the update will not be affected. (5) After this update, feeding Mixed Meat Feed, Mixed Grain Feed, or Mixed Herb Feed will only increase Energy. After the adjustment, animal Energy will be divided into the following three tiers:EnergyByproduct ProductionSlaughter YieldsYoungling GrowthBreeding Conditions80% ~ 100%Efficient byproduct productionRewards large suppliesNormal growthBreedable20% ~ 80%Normal byproduct productionRewards Moderate suppliesNormal growthNot ready to breed0% – 20%Pause byproduct productionRewards small suppliesPause growthNot ready to breedIn simple terms, if you want animals to grow, produce, and breed steadily, maintaining a higher Energy level is more important. 2. Animal Status Display and Offline Feeding OptimizationTo make farming status more intuitive, the animal list will now include icons for Energy status, Courtship status, and Breeding Cooldown status. Breeding-related statuses will also be more clearly displayed in animal info, making it easier for Metas to quickly assess an animal's current production, growth, and breeding state. This update also optimizes offline feeding logic so that animal food consumption during offline periods behaves as expected:(1) Offline feeding only consumes items from

Traits already unlocked before the update will not be affected.(5) After this update, feeding Mixed Meat Feed, Mixed Grain Feed, or Mixed Herb Feed will only increase Energy.After the adjustment, animal Energy will be divided into the following three tiers:EnergyByproduct ProductionSlaughter YieldsYoungling GrowthBreeding Conditions80% ~ 100%Efficient byproduct productionRewards large suppliesNormal growthBreedable20% ~ 80%Normal byproduct productionRewards Moderate suppliesNormal growthNot ready to breed0% – 20%Pause byproduct productionRewards small suppliesPause growthNot ready to breedIn simple terms, if you want animals to grow, produce, and breed steadily, maintaining a higher Energy level is more important.2. Animal Status Display and Offline Feeding OptimizationTo make farming status more intuitive, the animal list will now include icons for Energy status, Courtship status, and Breeding Cooldown status. Breeding-related statuses will also be more clearly displayed in animal info, making it easier for Metas to quickly assess an animal's current production, growth, and breeding state.This update also optimizes offline feeding logic so that animal food consumption during offline periods behaves as expected:(1) Offline feeding only consumes items from the animal trough; items discarded on the ground will not be consumed.(2) Body Boost Feed will not be consumed during offline periods.3. Animal Distribution TrackingIn response to popular demand from Metas, this update adds animal tracking to the World Map. All Metas can check the distribution of all animals in the current Scenario under the World Map's \ Tab. The relevant rules are the same as those for crops and ores tracking.III.

Fixed an issue where the cooldown calculation for the Deviation "Soul Summoner" Phantom Radiance Sparrow was incorrect. Now, the cooldown for releasing Phantom Radiance Sparrow has been adjusted to 0.5 seconds, significantly increasing the trigger frequency.2. Normally, each Deviation only provides one of three vulnerability types: "Weapon Vulnerability", "Status Vulnerability", or "Melee Vulnerability". We found that the Whalepup, positioned as a Status DMG Deviation, also contained a Weapon Vulnerability effect. To clarify the combat positioning of each Deviation and ensure the balance and standardization of the wilderness combat system, we have adjusted the Whalepup's vulnerability effect. After this maintenance update, its setting of "applying 15% Weapon Vulnerability to Metas and enemies" will be removed, and its Status Vulnerability value will be slightly increased. Its vulnerability effect will be fixed as follows: All damage dealt by the Whalepup applies 40% Status Vulnerability to the target for 5 seconds.Territory ConstructionFixed an issue where animals could pass through certain door and door frame structures while moving within a territory.Vending MachineFixed an issue where trait prompts could not be viewed when withdrawing Deviations from the harvest interface.Others1.

Read captured notes

August 26The following issues have been fixed:1. Fixed an issue where the Soul Summoner's ultimate failed to grant Metas the ability to summon Phantom Radiance Sparrow. After the fix, each time you land a weapon hit, there is a 15% probability of releasing a Phantom Radiance Sparrow, with a 0.5-second cooldown.2.

Fixed an issue where the Bottom piece in "Tideborn Dream" displayed abnormal skin tones.6. Fixed an issue where Combo Crate was not displayed correctly in the Shop on mobile.7. Fixed an issue where hatch counts were not synchronized after linking friends and completing tasks in Surprise Egg.The following issues are being urgently fixed.

Previously completed historical data will not be automatically loaded and applied.First-Person Immersion Gets a Full UpgradeWe’ve received a lot of feedback asking for first person mode to support more actions and scenarios. In this maintenance update, the developers have carried out a large-scale expansion and rework of the underlying logic and presentation of the first-person perspective. From exploring the deep sea to gliding at high altitudes, from coordinated combat with Deviations to fierce melee fighting, we bring you an unprecedented ultimate immersive experience!1. Added Supported Scenarios for First Person ModeTo give Metas a more seamless and immersive experience while exploring Nalcott, we have greatly expanded the states and scenarios supported by first person mode:1) Land, Sea, and Air Explorationa) Underwater Experience: You can now dive and explore underwater entirely from a first-person perspective, and all items usable underwater have been adapted with first-person use actions.b) High-Altitude Glide: Now supports entering and exiting the glide state in first-person throughout, letting you experience the exhilarating rush of a lightning-fast dive!2) Deviations in CombatAfter the update, the battle skills of certain Deviations can now be used directly in first-person! This update has implemented most Combat Deviations, including Invincible Sun, Pyro Dino, Polar Jelly, and more (excluding some Deviations with special mechanics, such as Whalepup).Going forward, we will continue to refine the performance of Deviation ultimates, further highlight the unique traits of each Deviation, and gradually support unleashing ultimates in first-person. Stay tuned!a) Invincible Sunb) Pyro Dinoc) Polar Jelly3) Tactical Maneuvers and Interactionsa) "Aero Leap" and "Slide": You can now use "Aero Leap" and "Slide" in first-person at any time, with full support for flexible movement in all 4 directions, making your gunfight positioning even smoother.b) Scene Interactions: Full support for first-person interactions such as climbing ladders, using ziplines, and opening doors with card swipes.c) Shield Generator: We have specifically updated the first-person use animation for Shield Generators in RaidZone.2. Experience Optimizations1) Combat and Controlsa) Melee Feel Optimization: We greatly improved the camera bobbing when moving with a melee weapon in first-person mode, and adjusted the transition animations between melee attacks, making every swing feel more impactful.b) Screen Shake Optimization: Improved the screen shake feedback logic in first-person mode. Screen shake intensity in first-person will now strictly follow the "Screen Shake Intensity" option in the Settings panel.*Note: Metas who experience 3D motion sickness can lower this option as needed.2) Wilderness ExplorationClimbing Experience Optimization: We've optimized the trigger timing of climbing actions in first-person mode, reducing stutter and significantly improving the smoothness of parkour and movement in complex terrain.3) System and SettingsNew "First Person Model Offset" setting: This new option has been added to the Settings panel, allowing you to adjust the distance between the weapon model and the screen edge in First Person mode. Whether you're a hardcore shooter Metas who prefers the weapon snug against the edge of your view, or a cosmetics enthusiast who wants to showcase more weapon details, you can now freely customize the optimal position of your weapon model on screen!Fashion Set Custom Dye Optimization1. Comprehensive overhaul of the dyeing consumption logic: Dyeing charges will be adjusted from "charging after dyeing individual sections" to "charging after dyeing individual components."After the update, Metas can freely adjust the dyeing of each section within a component, freely mix and match their preferred color schemes, and are no longer constrained by "separate consumptions for each section." You can freely combine multiple colors on a top, and you can also adjust detail sections at any time.* The color tier classification remains unchanged; charges will be calculated based on the highest-tier color used in the component, and mixing is supported.2. Along with the optimization of the charging logic, we have simultaneously lowered the overall pricing for dyeing. After the optimization, the price of a full dye set has dropped by approximately 60% compared to the previous version, making customization more accessible and easier.3. Currently, only a limited number of sets support dyeing. In the September update (UTC+8), we will gradually release more dyeable sets across more rarities, allowing more of your favorite Fashion items to be dyed in colors that are uniquely yours. Stay tuned!4. For Metas who have already dyed your items, we fully understand that you have invested time and resources under the previous rules. To protect everyone's existing investment, we will uniformly refund the price difference after the August 24 update (PT). Your existing dye effects will not change—please rest assured.Due to the differences between the old and new consumption rules, it is difficult to calculate the exact price difference for each set, so we will uniformly refund 60% of the currency consumed. Refunds will be automatically issued via in-game mail within 3 business days after the August 25 update.For example: Before the August 25 update, Metas A consumed a total of 7200 Crystgins and 2250 Colorful Badges while dyeing. After the August 25 update, at the 60% refund ratio of consumed currency, Metas A will receive a price difference refund of 4320 Crystgins (7200 × 60%) and 1350 Colorful Badges (2250 × 60%).* If you have any questions regarding the compensation you receive, please contact in-game customer service, and we will verify and handle them for you.For more information, refer to the dyeing dev blog: Dev Blog丨Fashion Set Custom Dye OptimizationServer Opening ScheduleTo make it easier for Metas to play the Prismverse's Clash scenario, we will open 1 Prismverse's Clash Server every Saturday at 8:00 Server Time.*If the number of sign-ups is too high, we will open additional servers.After this maintenance update, go to Announcements >>> Once Human Console Launch: Server Opening Announcement and Launch ScheduleCustom Server Updates1.

Cross-Platform Data Interconnection and Account Linking InstructionsOnce Human supports cross-platform data interconnection. You can link your console account with an existing PC/mobile account to play on different platforms and share data.If you have already played Once Human on PC or mobile, we recommend logging in via PC or mobile and going to \ to complete the linking in advance. You can also complete the linking after the console version launches by clicking the upper-right corner of the login screen before creating a new character, so as to avoid incorrect linking affecting your character ownership or reward claims.If you are playing Once Human on console for the first time and expect to play across PC/mobile platforms in the future, we recommend completing the linking by going to \ on the console. You can also go directly to the NetEase Loading Bay, or use your console account to authorize login on mobile to complete linking.Note: Account linking is not the same as account merging. We cannot merge the progress of two accounts that both have characters and retain all characters. If both linked accounts have characters and meet the relevant conditions, the system will display the character information from the account that was most recently played. You will need to choose to keep all characters under one account; all characters under the other account will be discarded. Please proceed with caution.   III.

Before claiming, please confirm that your current character is the one you intend to receive the rewards; reward claiming is not available in RaidZone.Linking your console account with accounts on other platforms will not affect the claiming of carryover rewards. To avoid potential claiming issues caused by account linking, we recommend that you claim your rewards after completing the account linking.If you encounter any reward claiming issues (such as not seeing the corresponding event entry after the launch, or not receiving rewards), or have questions about your eligibility, please provide feedback to us via the in-game Customer Service or the Feedback Platform. (Once Human Feedback Platform)IV.
