I hope so too. I as a player shouldn't have to set up an external timer to defeat a monster or monsters. And the nightmare mode being more luck based than skill based is the biggest issue for me. I like the pets, I think those additions are fine, but that monster is now too op as it can randomly kill you at any point. I don't know why the timer works for you, I tried using a timer and the monster sometimes comes after 2 minutes after it left or before 2 minutes and I can't really deal with that. I hope for a better update, but right now it seems like normal difficulty will be more fun and better.
