Heroic Global Difficulty may cause challenging missions to have Heroic values | Forums

I suspect that the Heroic global difficulty selection is overriding the mission difficulty regardless of what mission difficulty you choose.

Running the Bunker time trial again seemed more difficult than the previous week. The previous week my build was not where it is presently so I was running in Challenging world tier and managed to do the bunker mission time trial in around 12 minutes. This week, having a more optimized build, I switched to Heroic world tier. When running the timed trial it seemed harder and I couldn't achieve anywhere near the same time. The experience was the same both pre and post update.

So to be clear, last week I ran a challenging mission in Challenging Global difficulty. This week I ran a challenging mission with Heroic Global difficulty selected.

Just to be sure, I ran the challenging mission on the challenging world tier and once finished I had inflicted 270M damage 94kills. I ran the same challenging mission with Heroic world tier selected and had 415M damage inflicted with 99 kills. (I died in the second one but had only killed two additional red mobs).
I have done this a couple of times and get a similar difference every time.

Is this a known bug?

You maybe actually right.
When I did a Challenging Time Trial yesterday - the Enemy HP pool was actually drastically higher than previously.

That or the update really screwed up the HP values.

Normally that's the case but with the league time trials you can
