The Floor Timings Were Retuned — Nothing Was Taken

The System has adjusted the pacing of the upper floors.

When the registry opened all eighteen floors, several of the early floors were re-timed. That change briefly pushed some crawlers further from their next staircase than they had been promised. That was the System’s error, not yours, and it has been corrected.

What this means for you:

• Nothing you earned has been taken. Your floor, XP, loot and history are exactly as they were.
• If you had already earned a staircase, you keep it. Eligibility is grandfathered — a door the dungeon granted you cannot be revoked by a later change to the curve.
• If your next-staircase countdown looked longer than it should have, it is back to what it was. The HUD was telling the truth again the moment the correction landed.

Any staircase that had been left stranded has been reset, and a fresh one will appear the next time its crawler logs in.

The floors still collapse behind you. The pace is the only thing that moved.
