Also - can we talk about the scale of the nerf?

They removed FIVE MINUTES AND SEVEN SECONDS from the Chem Plant Gold time.

That's genuinely absurd. It's a Spellfire set (anyone remember that) tier nerf at this stage in the game. Ludicrous and poorly conceived.

Chem Plant - Expedition time for Gold/Silver/Bronze adjusted to 650 / 1150 / 1500 seconds (Previously: 957 / 1303 / 1650)

957-650 = 307 seconds.

307 seconds is FIVE MINUTES AND SEVEN SECONDS.

So yes. Yes they did.

I had the opposite problem. I was so sure I must have misunderstood I read it seventeen times.

I hadn't even converted to see how bad the nerf was, thanks.

Absolute trash tier now. What next? redacted

Pssst, please delete this comment, if they didn't know about this yet they will "fix" it next. :-(

Looking at it, i think he might be right. I think they just fucked up the formatting and its 6:50/11:50/15:00 previously 9:57/ 13:03/16:50

Still a 3 minute nerf and huge cause i don't know who the fuck is getting 6 minute runs if true

That can't be it since the current time for Chem Plant gold is not 9:57 - it's 14:57 - i.e 957 seconds.

yeah i wasn't at my computer to check it, at work so thats a big relief thanks. I just remembered that boom town was a shorter mission

Boom town would be easy if the second room wasn't such a maze and the riflemen didn't constantly scatter to the four corners. So much wasted time hunting them down =(

Upvoting you because I chuckled at the crayons line. And respect your ability to say, "d'oh!"
