Hey everyone! During the past few weeks we've seen a bunch of different opinions on the new curse additions, especially the cursed mobs… We fully understand the pushback on mobs that give curses, as curse and its instadeath effect has always been an optional experience that gave extra rewards if you chose to add some spicy danger in your run.
