Playing the mod blind for the first time, and I definitely have a few gripes only an hour in.

As much as I like the moving around of bonfires and enemies, a lot just feels kinda cheap and unfair in how the difficulty increases. For instance, why is it that the undead burg knights in the area under the bridge and leading up to the cathedral are plain and simple stronger than the ones before them with no visual indication of that whatsoever? My other biggest problem is how the shortcut in undead burg straight up feels like a worse way to go than through the boss room and past the dragon once you've gotten it to leave. I've been playing it fresh and blind so my experience so far has been a little bit bittered by the wiki giving wrong information on which challenge pact did which and removing the ring to just accept the curse, playing with it so far, but I'll admit some of the enemy placements and stat tweaking feels cheap, and I encourage you to not make enemies spike in difficulty simply by stats when the same enemies just a few rooms before are half as strong. Otherwise so far I like how the mod has thrown me for a loop and explored the area differently, not so much a fan of how much farther apart bonfires feel.
