[Developer Note] Real-Time Arena Schedule Update & Known Issues

Hello, Masters. I’m Hyun Moon-soo, Development PD of Outerplane.

As we move through the middle of March and the weather starts to warm up, I’m back with another Developer Note.

First, I want to sincerely apologize for the various bugs — big and small — that have been cropping up as we roll out new content and improvements. We clearly weren’t as prepared as we should have been, and we’re sorry for the trouble this has caused.

In this note, I’ll be going over the schedule change for the Real-Time Arena that many of you have been looking forward to, along with a status update on the ongoing issues with World Boss, Monad Gate, and the Affinity system.

▶ 1. Real-Time Arena Release Date Postponement

The Real-Time Arena, originally planned for the March 25 (Tue) update, has been pushed back to April 7 (Tue).

During internal testing, we ran into connection latency issues and some unexpected edge cases that need to be resolved before we can deliver the experience you deserve. Additional testing time is unavoidable at this stage.

We’re truly sorry for missing our original target date. We’ll put the extra time to good use and make sure the Real-Time Arena launches in the best shape possible.

▶ 2. World Boss Progression Bug

We’ve been receiving bug reports from Masters playing World Boss, and resolving this is currently our top priority.

Under certain conditions, if Demiurge Luna is selected as the MVP, the results screen fails to appear and the game freezes.
We understand how disheartening it is to hit a high score and have it not register — we’re deeply sorry.

We’ve identified the cause and are working on a fix as quickly as we can. That said, given how short the World Boss event window is, the patch will likely go live after the current period ends. We will prepare additional compensation for affected players and distribute it after the World Boss settlement concludes.

▶ 3. Bugs Introduced by Recent Monad Gate Improvements

We’re sorry that changes intended to improve the Monad Gate experience have instead introduced new bugs that are disrupting your runs. The following issues have been confirmed and are actively being worked on:

Abnormal Route Entry: Some Masters are being placed into routes unintentionally.
Rewards Not Received Upon Giving Up: Selecting “Give Up” mid-stage causes base rewards or settlement results to display incorrectly. (Reconnecting to the game should restore the correct display in the meantime.)

▶ 4. Affinity Items Unusable Under Certain Conditions

This issue has been causing a lot of frustration for Masters who want to quickly raise Affinity with newly recruited heroes.

If you have at least one of each of the following items — Oath of Determination, character-exclusive Affinity items, Affinity Level Presents, and Upgrade Stones — the Affinity screen may not load properly, making it impossible to level it up.
This is a client-side structural issue that requires an app store update to fix, so it will unfortunately take a bit more time to reach you.

Seeing so many issues get in the way of your enjoyment, despite all the love and support you’ve shown us, weighs heavily on me as Development PD. We will address these problems as quickly and thoroughly as possible, while making sure the Real-Time Arena and all upcoming April content are ready to go.

Thank you as always for the honest feedback and warm support you give to Outerplane. It truly means a lot to us.
