Hotfix: Star Expedition Difficulty Issue

Commanders,

In yesterday's 2.0.0.3 patch, an incorrect configuration related to the Star Expedition difficulty was accidentally pushed live. As a result, many players encountered extremely difficult enemy lineups that were originally intended only for the top 20 players on the ladder.

This issue persisted for about 19 hours, meaning many of you experienced a massive and unintended spike in Star Expedition difficulty during this period.

To completely resolve this issue, we will be performing server maintenance. The maintenance is expected to take approximately 1 hour and will begin at the following times:

• UTC: 11:15 AM
• PDT (Pacific Time): 4:15 AM
• EDT (Eastern Time): 7:15 AM
• CEST (Central European Time): 1:15 PM
• CST (Beijing Time): 7:15 PM (19:15)

We sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused. Going forward, we will learn from our mistakes and be much more careful with our update process. More rigorous rules will be implemented to prevent this kind of mistake from happening in the future. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
