The Echo system in Wuthering Waves is a very unique and exciting feature that makes the game stand out from its competitors. However, the consensus among the players right now is that it's quite grindy. Due to these concerns, Kuro Games will introduce the following features to combat this problem:

• A limited-time Echo material double yield event named Chord Cleansing will come in 1.0
• Shell Credit costs of Echo development to be lowered in 1.1
• Removal of reward cutscene for Tacet Fields in 1.1
• Yield of Echoes and Echo development materials will be increased from 1.1

The Echo recycling system had a couple of issues on May 29, 2024. The Shell Credits that players received after recycling an Echo were not indicative of the correct amount and everyone was compensated immediately. However, further compensation of 1,000,000 Shell Credit will be provided to players.

The distribution time of this reward is at 23:59 on June 10, 2024 (UTC+8), and having a character created along with the mailbox function being unlocked before 10:00 on May 30, 2024 (UTC+8) will make you eligible to collect this compensation. It will expire at 05:59 on July 3, 2024 (UTC+8).

Apart from this compensation, a total of 20 Crystal Solvents will be handed out to players due to their poor experience with the Echo system. This compensation will be distributed at 10:00 on June 3, 2024 (UTC+8), as long as you have the mail function unlocked. The compensation will be available till 05:59 on June 28, 2024 (UTC+8).

The Verdant Summit weapon faced heavy backlash due to its description being mistranslated in the game's Japanese language client. This led to extreme disappointment from the Japanese community and widespread scrutiny of Kuro Games' poor localization.

Due to this major error, a compensation of 5 Forging Tides will be given to all players. It will be available at 10:00 on June 3, 2024 (UTC+8) and can be collected if you have the mail function unlocked. The compensation will expire at 05:59 on June 28, 2024 (UTC+8).

The Overdash Club is one of the events in Version 1.0 of Wuthering Waves. Although a small event, it gives very minimal rewards, leading to poor feedback from players.

You can find the event's duration along with the available rewards below:

• 13-06-2024 at 10:00 to 27-06-2024 at 03:59 (server time)
• Astrites x800

Version 1.0 of Wuthering Waves will end on June 28, 2024, at 05:59 (UTC+8).

Other features and spin-off events that will be introduced in Version 1.0 will be pushed for an advanced release as well.

Firmament, along with two new Resonators: Changli and Jinshi. A new boss called Jué will also be introduced.

Due to these changes in the version schedule, a compensation of 10 Radiant Tides will be given to players at 10:00 on June 3, 2024 (UTC+8). Having the mailbox system unlocked will allow you to collect these rewards. Make sure to obtain them before 05:59 on June 28, 2024 (UTC+8).
