ARKS Operation Report

It's annoying having to adjust the camera distance every time I log in, I'd like this to be saved.

In the October update, they are making an improvement that saves this, similar to other options. The camera distance will now be maintained when logging in from the same device.

I would like the EX Special Ability Slots in the Wish list to be increased.

In the December update, they plan to increase the number of slots from 3 to 6 for the wish list.

I would like the accessory cost limit to be increased.

They are continuing their testing process and have found that it can be increased as long as certain conditions are met. They're starting to understand, and with that, research is progressing… It will take more time and they hope to make it as close to what everyone wants. Please wait for further details.

I want to make singing videos of the 5th anniversary songs, but are there plans to provide instrumental tracks?

Instrumental videos of the 5th anniversary songs such as "Nyantasy Star" and "Stardust to Genesis" etc, will be released sequentially on YouTube starting August 27th. Information regarding the usage guidelines will be provided in the video description.
