Hi, just thinking that it would be fun to have an harder difficulty level than elite: everything is the same as elite level, except there is no reanimation possible (using spark or the emergency spark). Dying mean end of the run for the player. The party is locked as soon as it leave the mission hub or the start level in arcade. Not sure about the loot increase, something to make it mean something but not changing the game equilibrium.
An alternative would be to allow reanimation by a fellow night (like before spark), sharing health 50/50. But no spark.
and the Arcade starts and end at deep 30, no stratum 1 or 2 just 3, maximum depth, You are "scaping" from "the core" but doesn't get easy, 30 levels non stop threats, no Moorcroft, nor Emberlight, no basil stops... Just Run! Nightmare mode
