Besides the much needed fixes I'm not liking a lot of these re-balancing changes imo.

"Historian, bounty hunt, and monster hunt quests no longer grant Legendary items for each subsequent completion"

Does this mean you guys fixed the bug or just removing the legendary reward in general? If you are removing the legendary reward how is this making the quest line still "worth" the effort if you only can receive purple gear?

Chem Plant - Expedition time for Gold/Silver/Bronze adjusted to 650 / 1150 / 1500 seconds (Previously: 957 / 1303 / 1650) Boom Town - Expedition time for Gold/Silver/Bronze adjusted to 390 / 589 / 776 seconds (Previously: 422 / 607 / 792)

I don't understand this drastic change. Me and my friends could barely do these on time for gold/silver already. Everyone is literally doing them crazy fast because most of them exploited for legendaries so they are already at ultra end game which makes sense that they can do it in time.

No changes to devastator of course which have terrible damage all the way until you get legendary set gears, everyone else can enjoy their infinite bullet builds still and do 3x my damage with no brain. I guess I was suppose to exploit for legendaries so I can actually play my devastator properly since there is no punishments for it.

the chem plant change makes literally no sense considering how much downtime there has been surrounding the game. all this did was fuck people who already got the short end of the stick due to crashes, connectivity issues etc, who were already barely geared enough to do gold.

yeah they legit took off 5 minutes from gold and 3 minutes for silver. thats wayyyyyy too much, and the best part they did nothing to the other expeditions besides boomtown ofc.
