The issue stems from the Version 1.6 update, where players discovered that buffs applied before entering a battle were incorrectly persisting throughout the encounter. In a high-stakes action RPG where every point of DPS matters for leaderboard placement, this unintended stacking completely warped the meta for the Boss Challenge. To fix this, a temporary maintenance window is being scheduled to patch the carry-over bug and reset the leaderboards entirely.
For those who have already climbed the ranks, your efforts aren't entirely for naught. Netmarble will distribute the 'Laurel of Glory' rewards based on your ranking status at the exact moment the maintenance begins. Additionally, the update will officially allow dish usage in the Boss Challenge, standardizing how players can legitimately boost their stats before a run.
This emergency fix has caused a ripple effect on the content calendar. The following adjustments have been confirmed:
- Timespace Junction Sector 7: The opening is delayed until the maintenance and buff fix are fully verified.
- Magic★Pop - The Day of Mischief Begins!: Originally set for July 1, this event is now on hold pending additional stability checks.
While delays are never ideal, protecting the competitive meta of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is the right call. A leaderboard built on exploits isn't worth climbing, and these fixes ensure that when you finally conquer those anomalies in Lake Pernes, it's your build and skill—not a glitch—that puts you at the top.
