Recently, Embark Studios greatly surprised Arc Raiders players by announcing a change to the expedition mechanic. Previously, players had to accumulate a certain "value" (stash value + credits) to receive point bonuses, but now players are facing a challenge.
Over 5 days (from Tuesday to Sunday), the developers will require players to deal a certain amount of damage. This change has not pleased all players by any means — some see potential problems in this decision.
Tank-ToP_Master started a discussion. He likes the idea itself, but there are questions about its implementation:
Why is this limited to a 5-day window? Preparing expeditions takes about 2 months, and then everything suddenly comes down to whether you can play during these exact 5 days. Not everyone has that opportunity — people have work, trips, real life.
Not everyone can afford to play on working days, and in that case they will have even less time left to complete the new challenge.
Some Arc Raiders players believe that Embark Studios should allow damage to be accumulated throughout the entire expedition, so that players would have 2 months in reserve to complete the challenge.
