Those new spear zombies are surprisingly instant in their charge attack (if you compare it to, say, mecha knights), and some lumbers' locations can be quite annoying (aka close corridors), and especially when there are silkwings to back them up in such situations.

Now if this was a regular mission I would be very annoyed with the difficulty spikes here and there, but since this is a danger mission I'll let this one slide.

There are a few points I can't agree with, as well as factual errors, especially in the first paragraph. I am under the impression that either you were not there before the zombies nerf, or don't remember it very well.

"they nerfed them to be fair" that's an opinion I can't agree with. You could already dodge or block everything before. It was just harder because the timing was shorter and the tracking made it more complicated (just circling around an attacking mob would get you hit, you had to get away).

"(if zombies were like they used to be then we wouldve got jumped on by them, rendering us vurnerable to the onslaught of enemies)" Actually, there were 2 different patchs on zombies, which were separated by at least a few weeks.

Before those patchs, zombies had tracking attacks and would root you in place if they jumped on you. The later was the least of the worries, since it was very easy to avoid (way easier than current jump attack), the tracking attacks were the real deal.

Then OOO removed tracking attacks on several mobs, including wolvers and zombies, which made them SIGNIFICANTLY easier. Zombies became almost harmless at this point.

Then they figure they sould at least up Zombies (Wolvers are still harmless :/) and buffed the jump attack to it's current state : if you are in the way, you get damaged. Those zombies are still easier than before the 2 patchs, no matter how you look at it. It boils down to "just don't stay in front".

My opinion is that the danger mission would still be doable if we had the old zombies. It would provide a great challenge even for experienced players. As it is, it's good, but way easier than SL : I expected to do much more CE rev than I did in my first run, and I don't expect to have any for the next runs. Mainly, the first one was about learning the rooms and the timing of the new zombie knight (now I know I shouldn't use DA full combo for example, unless I get more ASI).

Last but not least, the reward : if you factor the prestige points, hell yeah it's profitable. But if you don't, because prestige points don't actually give you anything useful, it's less rewarding than FSC, while being more difficult and limited to one run per day. I won't complain, because I would do it even if it didn't reward any crown, just for the challenge, but if you are looking for profitable, stick with FSC.

Also, I agree with your verdict, I want more too :)

P.S. : let's also ask for the return of danger missions, including the very old ones.

I'd just like to say,zombies can still latch on. Usually, they just hit,but if your shield breaks perfectly on the second hit on the jump attack, there is a chance they will latch on. They did this to me, in the danger mission, and I became a pincushion for all the spears.

Just saying
