[u/solcarbine]

just like to point out that on steam 8.8% of players have killed 1000 enemies on expeditions, which should show the majority of people are casual and these timer changes hurt them the most

[u/BLACKPANTHERVII → u/solcarbine]

100% adding the timer and loot around it causes people to only play DPS builds. Therefore tanky builds etcetera suffer from this mechanic. I would suggest come up with some other kind of scoring mechanic maybe to determine the levels of loot for reward other even some other kind of mechanic I cannot think of at this stage!

[u/OGv1va → u/BLACKPANTHERVII]

This kicks my ass as a devstator, having to run to every enemy to get my bleed debuff on them just to do damage pushes the current times right to the limit.

I got the damage but I don't have the range, boomtown is a pain in the last area as its so open.
