Looking at it, it doesn't seem like there will be any downtime between the global events as you can already start completing the second GE missions which means there will always be some sort of gimmick. The next one seems like increased close range damage.

I suppose the only way we'll really know is when the first one ends in like two days.

I'm a little confused on the timing for a submittable NG+ category as the rules are a little bland. Is it run the time from mission start to mission complete and pause inbetween? What am I missing here because I've actually ran NG+ solo with a 1:47:26 but it's RTA.
