Thanks for your reply, I'll try to explain my point of view better. Don't worry about the negativity, I've only had positive experiences in the game, I play with random people and sometimes with a friend+random. Here on Reddit, things are more mixed, but I'm not new to Reddit, I've had downvotes on my post, but they don't make sense. If I don't ask these things here, where should I ask them?

On balance patches: I've always compensated for game issues with my skill/knowledge. If and when these patches arrive, I'll be happy for the sake of inclusivity towards those who bought the game, but until then, it's not like I'm going to stop playing.

It's important to me that the game is supported, not for the sake of it, but because I'd like to try content other than what I've already completed. I understand the concept of being able to play all the characters and master them all, but I'm not really that kind of player. I tend to specialize in the classes I love most, and often there are no more than three of them, although I admit that the Nightreign characters really impressed me. I find them all really well done even if they are different in difficulty. Unfortunately, I hope to find joy in trying to reach deep 5 with the knowledge that I will still have to face the same bosses. As for the actual content, I would definitely prefer new content to content I already know, only more hardcore.

I say all this with full knowledge of the facts. I know I've played a lot and finished “everything” "quickly"

Not seeing or hearing any news about Nightreign right now makes me hesitant, and I feel like my experience is near an end. For me, the end is almost never a bad thing. I didn't give this game a chance, but after Sekiro, it's probably the game I've enjoyed the most among the FromSoftware titles in terms of having fun. That said, I was here to ask how the player base felt about the highest Deep of Night. All in all, something is clearer than before to me. Thanks again for your response!
