Up until now, our goal was to leave difficulty settings away. Players who can't beat a specific level were to grind earlier levels until they become strong enough.While this sounds nice in general, the difference in skill between hardcore and casual gamers is just to great. Balancing this approach to everybody's advantage became an unsolvable task.
So here they are, difficulty settings! Barely implemented, it turned out that they are a great feature for all kinds of players. In a twist of fate, they actually make grinding more fun. Need more gold the easy way? Go play an earlier level in Ultra difficulty.
