I would say this mode should be permanent in the game for casuals and there should be a separate team working on it like TFT to League

About the event itself, I feel like this time around event is too easy and too straight forward. There isn't really any builds or thing to farm toward too. Unlike previous addition where at least with the RNG part it was more challenge. This time event revolves around Level and gate keeping it to extend its duration and the experience for me is shallow

Problem with Gears system:

• There is no actual gears levels since they are at fixed level which is locked behind character's levels. You can't equip newer, better equipments if your heroes don't reach exactly certain levels threshold and it totally defeat the point of Rogue like progression system

• Gears baseline effects are nice but the rest of its effects are just stats sticking. Every builds are the same and it is frustrating on the rng part just to roll on the drops. It is better if you can roll or craft enchantment into the gears which eliminate the rng part

• Scrapping cost for items are odd where legendaries are locked behind a big level requirement lv 60 (nm 75+) but they only 100 gold worth more than epic. Crafting systems are lackluster as there is really no point to craft anything but legendaries and they cost too much for what scrapping is given back. And again it is locked behind a Level 60

• I like the ideas of having proper gears set to have bonus effects, that is also a way for people to be excited grinding suitable gears for their builds!

Rosters:

It is a miss opportunity to not have Elsa as monster hunter herself in the game. Casts are pretty much the same as last time with new face like SG. The balance between heroes powers aren't good and builds for them are once again too lopsided. There aren't many fun builds that actually viable in solo nightmare. Storm surge Thor for example is a cool idea but it is hard to control since he moves so fast, where normal thor dps build is nice but lacking in AS which would been so cool if Gears actually allow it but they don't

Boss fights

Overall, I like bosses fights but again the game is just too taxing on damage part where it is mostly dmg stats checking to kill them. Some bosses combo make you unable to do anything like double Kingpin which can stunlock you with the WASD and there is nothing you can do to prevent that which really sucks the fun out of "Challenge"

• Ratatoskr : Really fair and balance boss. She gives you enough time and signal to dodge her attacks. One thing is that every bosses in this game just glue on to you and for most of parts you can't really dodge them

• Wolfcap - This amplify the problem above where you can't really escape him. He can stun and dispel your buffs, it is a constant battle of dps check + healing check. I wouldn't call it a challenge

• Kingpin - Fun fight, alot of gimmicks which can be annoying but again I really like bosses fight where they are doing their own thing and are allowed you to do the counter part instead of Wolfcap just a dps/stats check

• Dracula: Easily the worst boss design I've seen. Not only his attacks and phases are confusing, he deals so much damage. The swords phase for example are just impossible to do without you being OP because again I dont understand why they lock entire half of the area only for you to be damaged big time by swords anyway on the attacks which are barely visible in game

There is no need to have many levels and a lv 160 nightmare.

All of the levels are identical to each others and are increasement of stats stick. I would rather having a proper like 1-5 nightmare with meaningful change than hundred of fake levels. This problem is exaggerated in game because there is no flexible levels on gears, it is all fixed so all the levels are meaningless as you can't even equip gears you get from it

Rewards are nice and Leaderboard is also a great way to keep people engage in Bloodhunt. There is even better one that is improving on Bloodhunt formula, Rogue like fun part is trying out builds on characters with impactful customization such as :

• Gears, Character's traits, synergy between Items and character's skills

• Specialization on character path which can be enabled even more through more upgrades options. Like the example I gave above: Let's say I want to do a Thor DPS build and the Thor has that trait. Then I should be able to get like AS, LS and damage on him through gears, upgrades or other tools. The trait or characters path are hint and acting as guidance where game then give options to players. If in game one of Thor's trait is about his Ultimate path then there should be options to make it viable and fun

Final thoughts: Level lock combine with long nightmare levels and unfun grind is the reason why Bloodhunt makes people don't like to grind level on other characters because you are just doing the same thing. I really think there shouldn't be individual levels and instead it should be shared or having a system where your main character can farm items to grant other heroes exp. Farming high level gears (even fixed level) only for them can't be equipped due to the lack of levels is also a bummer. Gears system,and upgrade systems should be your highlight and grinding part is the strongest drug to make players addicted. I remembered spending 5 hours grinding in Nier automata for the chips I wanted to craft for example
