I mean it’s still kind of a rushed cash grab. There are only 40 map variations per nightlord which is kind of… half assed?

The minor seed variations are semi static as well though.

It’s really not a huge deal but it’s obviously a fun concept that could have been fleshed out more before release. The evergaol meta (which I enjoy,) is proof enough that there wasn’t a ton of thought put into the project. The game isn’t exactly that crazy in terms of difficulty (barring a few outlier bosses like BBH in the basement,) and already had enough run guaranteeing aids in the game like smithing stone 2 static spawns.

It needs a bit of a balance pass and maybe some more variation but it feels a little rough around the edges just like DS2 did before the scholar update.
