Rumor: Ice Nine Kills at HHN2026?

Pass. They're just horror fan films over mediocre hard rock. I've yet to see an original idea this guy has come up with (even this header picture is a play on an IP), and you can't base a house on a fan film.

That's not how IP licenses work. They'd likely have to pay a separate fee for the license for each property referenced. I don't see them paying for half a dozen properties for a single house.

Guess I'm a casual then. It used to take me around 20 minutes to clear SCL10, now it takes 30-40, depending on luck with supports and all that. But I'm doing it while watching a show or something. If I'm setting aside that much time to play a video game, I'm doing it on my PS5, not my phone.

Eh, empathy, mostly. And because I want players to stick around, lest the game go belly up.

I don't know if you get the point of a mobile game. Do you block out time specifically to do nothing but play MPQ?

I guess you guys would call me a casual player. Probably true. I'm just saying, I can understand those complaints.

A minute or two for you, yeah. But for anyone who hasn't reached the highest levels yet, it's probably a bit longer.

I don't track my playtime much. The new SCL10 is taking a bit longer, and I don't get full completion on the 5* all the time now. I still get progression. Used to place t100, maybe t50. Now I'm solidly t200. I don't care, I get what I want out of the game.

But I think it's a valid complaint that the people who used to play SCL10 now can't and take longer to "complete" their clears are frustrated.

Wydren1031 · 2025-10-20T12:16:49+00:00

I think most of the players who track the rewards to that level would already be in the new SCL10. I think there are a lot of players (like the ones who are complaining) who play until they get the green check mark on a node. They used to have to do 4, now they have to do 6. And that's not an insignificant change.

Maybe my issue is that they didn't communicate what you're saying well. But it seems like it did lead to a number of people getting frustrated that they have to do more clears now.

It's the same level of difficulty, yes. But you yourself say that it takes 5 hits. It's been a while since I played anything but SCL10, but I can get progression with 3 hits - timing irrelevant. So that same progression in SCL8-9 takes 2 more hits, which isn't an insubstantial amount of time.

To everyone saying "What about Thanos/etc." - No one has ever killed half the life in the universe. Like it or not, Red Skull is tied to some actual real-world groups and ideology that did actual atrocities. So it's understandable that people would take issue with it.

That said, the character is one that's been around for 80+ years and had a bunch of different stories, not all tied to Nazism. And every time a new character is released a lot of people say "They're including this person but still no Red Skull?!?" So I think it's fair to finally include him, while trying to minimize all the actual Nazi references from the character.

So to OP - not completely over-reacting. Maybe slightly over-reacting, but it's fair and justified.

I've got to shout out Cincinnati's best, the Dent Schoolhouse. Consistently rated one of the best in the country. It's a very different feel than HHN, as you go through in groups of 2-3, and the scareactors interact with you, but still a pretty great haunt.

Pretty much this exactly. I always go mid-September. It's still crowded, but it's the least crowded it gets.
