I haven’t tried the update yet, but based on the patch notes I skimmed through, there isn’t any new world modifiers like that and no spawn balancing for the early areas.

I am planning to test out a new game tonight, I’ll update if anything seems different.

Personally I would also love to see a boss HP slider for the world settings, some of the later bosses feel like massive sponges when playing solo.

Yeah piracy was everywhere during the cassette tape and floppy disk era, I don’t think it just was called piracy yet back then
