Developer Embark Studios has confirmed it will be extending the Departure Window for the third ARC Raiders Expedition following backlash from the game's community. The next ARC Raiders Expedition is still set to begin on Tuesday, April 28, alongside the release of Riven Tides, but will now be open until Monday, May 11, as opposed to the previous date of May 4. The additional time will allow players to complete the new damage challenge and provide a fair chance for everyone to receive all five Skill Points.
Last week, Embark announced a major change to the ARC Raiders Expedition system, which is an optional progression wipe that comes around every 60 days. With the third Expedition fast approaching, the studio revealed it would be getting rid of the Coin/Stash value requirement for extra Skill Points. Instead, the system is being updated to now associate Expedition's five extra Skill Points with a new damage challenge. The original plan was to give players just five days to complete the challenge, but the unexpected change promptly sparked backlash from the game's community, which has now led the studio to extend the upcoming Expedition Window.
