Explorers taking too long

[Eriond]

I just sent all my explorers out on searches that should, given the books I have that reduce search times, take about 20 hours and change each to do. When I sent them out, that's what it said it would take.

However, now that they are out on searches, they all say they are going to take 23 hours and change to get back.

I first noticed this yesterday, so it looks like this has started since the Halloween event/Tuesday maintenance.

Yes, I noticed this on my Lucky Explorers too.

Ditto. Same problem we were having a couple weeks ago. I sent them out before 7 last night expecting them to be back around 1:30 when I went to bed, but there was still an hour left and I ended up having to give up that extra artifact search.

Just noticed the same problem with regular explorers as well. Still 1 hour left more than 11 hours after their 10 hour and 55 minute search began.

Yes this is happening to all my explorers. It's not taking their skills into account after the last patch/maintenance. So the time is reverting to their default times eg. 8, 12, 24 and 48 hrs.

Besides what you guys are describing, which is also happening to me, here's a really weird one. I got my mails with loot while my explorers were still out and showed 24 mins to go. Sure enough about 20 minutes later, they came back. I sat and watched the mails show up, and opened star to send them back out right away, which is how I noticed.

I'm glad they are aware and fixing it Oct 21. My explorer had 18 hrs and it changed to 36 hours!
...and today a 9 hr search changed to an 18 hr search.
