That was about having multiple concurrent threads, like how currently the discussion about Chaotic is split over some five threads replicating roughly the same discussion and the same arguments for and against, not split over multiple expansions when people in the early pages are not even talking about the same game as in the later pages.

Like I said, there are times when you want one megathread, and there are times when you shouldn't just pad the old with the new.

Yeah, from how I phrased it earlier you can read between the lines that I'm not exactly finding DT's normal modes challenging either, so if the devs say they made it harder I'll read that as it has probably been by some smaller percentage that is only noticed by people who were closer to marginal before. Players as ahead of the curve as you or me are still going to find it easy, but if it were raised to a level where it's a challenge for us to clear, there'd be SO many people unable to progress story mode.
