>Phase 1 AFK Stages Are Too Challenging. This season’s Phase 1 AFK stage difficulty has gone beyond the developers' expectations and does not align with the original design. The game will make the following optimizations to the season’s AFK stages:
>1) Lower the number of level requirements for the daily maximum AFK progress in Season Phase 2 and 3.
>2) Increase the resource of Hero Essence and Starlight in the season quests for Season Phase 2 and 3.
>Additionally, to make up for the experience caused by Phase 1’s high difficulty, the game will send Experience to players via in-game mail in the near future.

>2.Supreme Arena: Baseline Level Set Too High. The dev team expects to optimzie the overly high baseline in Supreme Arena today.

At least they're aware so it should get better by next phase, I'm a player late by like 1 month and it was stupid how hard I was sweating for this.
