We are keeping you guys updated regarding some of the recent server issues.

• Sept. 15th, 1:50PM, 2:20PM (UTC) - there were two instances of DDoS attacks during those times, which were addressed by adjusting the DB. However, the server suffered from server issues during the duration of the adjustment.
  
• Sept. 15th, 3:45PM (UTC) - we made further adjustments to the settings to embolden the servers to alleviate future problems. Adjustments may have caused server instability over a 10-min period.

The servers are stabilized at the moment, but the DDoS attacks are continuing. Once we have fully solved the issues of server instability in all servers, we will update everyone with a different post including compensations.

We apologize for the inconveniences caused by the repeated server instability.

There have been a series of DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) causing multiple instances of server issues throughout the last few weeks. We will continue to defend against the attacks by strengthening our servers, but different patterns of attacks have required different solutions, causing delays like today.

• Server Issue Date: Estimated around 50 minutes on Sept. 14th, 2023 8AM UTC

We apologize once again for causing inconvenience to all our players. We will continue to monitor and improve the servers so players can enjoy the game without disruption.

Please take 300NP as a token of apology.

Hello Lumia Island survivors,

We are currently experiencing server instability, and we're doing our best to fix it quickly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hello Lumia Island survivors,

We've fixed some issues that occurred after maintenance!

• Matchmaking is now working properly.
  
• Skill cooldown ping message is now displayed correctly.

We're looking into other issues, and we'll try to get them fixed as soon as possible!

Thank you!

Hello Lumia Island survivors,

Matching is not working properly, but we're currently working on a quick fix.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Servers are now back to normal and Eternal Return is available again.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

In order to determine the cause of the server instability, the Event Website and Stats Site will be unavailable for approximately one hour.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hello Lumia Island survivors,

We've noticed there's some ocasional server instability and we're doing our best to solve it quickly.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

It was confirmed that the Data Key was not provided for the SUNDAYER coupon reward, and was corrected around 3:57 PM (UTC) on July 29th.

If you redeemed your coupon before that time and didn't receive a Data Key, we'll send you two to your in-game mailbox.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

An issue was found in which items were duplicated. This loophole in the system is our fault, and we'll be fixing it as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

However, intentionally using duplicate acquisitions is a clear case of cheating and will result in a suspension in both Normal and Ranked Matches, and Ranked Matches will result in the forfeiture of Rank Points. This behavior is clearly evidenced by replays or other means, so we ask that players who play normally not abuse this feature.

Also, if you see any cases of abuse, please report them to our Support Team.

We apologize again for any loopholes in the system and will do our best to ensure that normal play is not disrupted.

Hello Lumia Island survivors,

It's been a week since we launched Eternal Return 1.0.

Thankfully, many players have come to Lumia Island exceeding our expectations. This doesn't mean the game is ready to go, but it does mean that a lot of people have been waiting for the Official Launch.

We sincerely apologize to our players for their patience, and for the many ways in which we've disappointed them, including the UI and other ways in which we've fallen short of their expectations.

And we deeply appreciate all our players for putting up with the discomfort and continuing with Eternal Return.

To share our progress on responding to your valuable feedback, we're pleased to announce that we've reopened the Roadmap website, which has been closed in preparation for Official Launch.

Hello Lumia Island survivors!
Today's Dev Journal will cover the Frame Report.

There's a saying in the game industry that you should never make optimization promises. There's a lot of variation in player experience because the overall optimization improvements don't apply equally to everyone, and even if the overall optimization improves, there's always a chance that one particular operation will pop up that causes problems, so it becomes a never-ending process. So we’re going to be very careful about bringing up optimization in this Dev Journal.

Optimization was a top priority internally as we prepared for Eternal Return 1.0.
Squad Mode in particular had the most frequent framerate issues, and with 24 players, we were concerned that if we didn't optimize it, the game might not even be viable.

So the optimization work went ahead with the intention of redesigning a lot of the invisible “Back End”. In terms of workload, this was by far the biggest th... Read more

Hello Lumia Island survivors!
Today’s Dev Journal will cover the 4th update of changes for characters!

As we've seen in the last three Dev Journals, skill utility is often added or lessened based on its use in Squad.

First, Nicky’s Short Tempered has been reworked. Nicky will still be short tempered, but that will no longer be a trigger for her skills.

Body Blow (Q2) will only activate when you hit Slugfest (Q1), Guard (W) will no longer have a reduced cooldown on success, and Reverse (W2) will slow enemies instead of rooting them.

You can now use Fury Jab!! (Enhanced E) after a successful Guard.



Pure Rage Uppercut!! (R) can also be used with or without Short Tempered. Of course, it's still more beneficial to use it with a full Short Tempered because it deals more damage.

Hello Lumia Island survivors!
Today's Dev Journal will cover Forging and ER Pass!

Playing Eternal Return is all about the thrill of a good fight, but sometimes after a few matches of being fully focused on your game, you might need a little break. That's when you'll want to visit our new Forging station!

You can find two types of boxes in the Forging menu.
As you play more, you'll naturally start getting Research Center Data Boxes through different paths. You can also get them as an ER Pass reward (including free items), as well as when you level up your account, and when you complete daily missions at an established probability. They can also be obtained through ER events!

<Receiving a Data Box as a Daily Mission Reward>


When you open a Research Center Data Box, you'll be randomly rewarded with a variety of prizes... Read more

Hello Lumia Island survivors!
Today’s Dev Journal will be about Victory Poses!

"First of all, Victory Poses are not going to be very long. Unfortunately, as we were working on them for all 65 subjects, including their skins at the same time, we had to make them shorter than we would have wanted.

Even though the scene's length is shorter than the cutscene for a successful escape, you'll notice that all the subjects have unique poses."

The goal of Victory Poses is to make the feeling of winning even better!

When you hit the start button, you expect a "magical game". But even in a game with a 50% win rate, this piece of magic is very rare. Someone once described it as "a game that isn't a stomp, but a hard close game where we barely win because I played well and carried".

In Battle Royale, this "magical game" is heavily tied to <b>winning</b>, and even Squad, that has the highest winning rate, is still only less than 10% in Early Game du... Read more

Hello Lumia Island survivors!
Today’s Dev Journal will be about the newly added Briefing Room!

Briefing Room is where the first players that finish loading can stay while waiting for other players. Much of the loading time is spent waiting for the slowest computer, and with more people participating than before, there is a higher chance that the slowest computer will be even slower.



Now, if your computer isn't too bad, you can can move your character around the Briefing Room first without waiting for it to load!



Test subjects can try out all skills at level 20 in the Briefing Room. Of course, since you don't have any equipment yet, the power may not come out as much as you want, but you can still try out a skill... Read more
