So, we'll be able to run Jelly King and Firestorm Citadel on Hard mode and get better rewards for doing it?

Ah, thought it was going to
Ah, thought it was going to be the standard Easy, Normal, Hard, didn't know we were getting an Elite mode too. Interesting.
Elite all the way.

I wonder how much harder
I wonder how much harder Elite will be than what we have now, and how much better the rewards will be.

The difficulty option is more for those that seek a challange than receiving extra loot.
Elite mode = more crowns, but you have to be carefull (reviving negates the extra profit!), enemies take longer to kill. It can take time to do a level.
Normal mode = less crowns, but enemies die faster and you can be more aggressive and careless. You can potentially do more levels in less time. More levels done = more money. Counteracts whatever bonus the elite mode might give.
That's my theory. They'll call you a noob, but you'll be rich xD

Still, I have to wonder what
Still, I have to wonder what FSC and Shadow Lairs are going to be like on Elite Mode.
Wonder if they'll add achievements for Elite Mode, especially Elite versions of the Cradle and All/Dauntless Delver achievements.

From what I can tell, Elite Mode is the equivalent of dragging an alt or two through a run with you, without the benefit of getting the loot the alt absorbs.

Well, Nick said...
Nick said that hard mode is the equivalent to our current level of difficulty. Thus normal = easier than now, Elite = harder than now.

@Little-Juances
depends on
@Little-Juances
depends on how you look at it ;)
if you just run your 100ME every day the higher difficulty is a nice change (i hope running T3 on elite will give roughly the same profit as FSC does this way. i just like running a gate solo but there is hardly any profit)

@Silver-Bolt That probably
@Silver-Bolt That probably happens if he doesn't care for reading, but cares more about insulting people. I saw that too many times... I still remember his ridiculous Steam post with his lies, and these lies had also a quality seal on themselves.
Back to the original topic, I'm really looking forward to these changes. But I seriously hope, that they aren't smaller than the text says. This game really needs more interesting and fun changes.

elite is still easier than carrying 2 noobs.
normal mode will be easier than what we will have now and will give less loot.
hard will be slighly more difficult than what we have now (compensated by battle sprites) and will give the same loot as now.
elite will be harder than what will have now, and will reward more loot.
so yes, you can get more loot on boss runs, but it will be harder.
