With the August 9 (PT) Mid-Season 3 update, we have made improvements on drift drag so that racers could use basic drifts more easily. After this was applied, however, we received feedback from many players about the performance of some advanced techniques, as well as the experience of them, and we have made changes by comparing your feedback and data.

Based on the positive feedback from beginner and intermediate level racers, we confirmed that there were improvements based on the changes on normal drift drags. However, we have also confirmed from racers of higher skill levels that the difference of the performance and experience of advanced drift techniques was larger than intended, causing inconveniences for those expert racers.

The Dev Team has comprehensively considered the situation and is planning to make the improvements to better tune your experience. We will do our best to show you perfection when making any further improvements on dragging and more. Also, we will make sure to review any potential changes on driving, and provide an explanation on incoming changes in advance.

Additional Improvements on Drift Drag

Improvements: Added 3 Drift Escape Options to the Drift Settings Option.

How to Set: The Drift Escape Option setting can be found in the [Settings > Gameplay > Control Settings > Drift Settings] menu below "Drift Assist".

Applied Date: This change has been applied to Steam and Nexon Launcher players with the August 11 (PT) client patch, and will be updated on Mobile (iOS/Android) and Console (Xbox/PlayStation) as soon as we are able (date to be announced).

We apologize for causing inconveniences in the process of trying to provide an improved gameplay environment, and we will make sure to better share news to all Racers after making more thorough reviews in the future.

Thank you,

-JL and the KartRider: Drift Team-
