No Nightmare 4 difficulty for new maps?

Am I just missing it, or do the new maps top out in the 500 ipwr range?

I'm still downloading the patch. Say it ain't so!

Edit: This is a huge oversight on behalf of Trendy. Forcing players into a difficulty which is both unchallenging and unrewarding it not a fun experience.

Am I the only one who lost their gems after the patch?

My buddy said the same, Seems an event for the lowbies :(

I saw in the preview there is a setting for ipwr 800+.

I'm still downloading so I can't really say, but maybe you unlock higher difficulties after completing the ones before ?

Notice all difficulties say the same 800+ ipwr, Pretty sure that's just an placeholder. Or maybe it is a hint that when they go into End Game difficulty they will go up to 840ipwr? :P

New maps range from 200~500 iPWR range. And missing gems is just lags, try to re-enter tavern, and they should show up again.

Big flaw as I see it, not to make the two new maps (only new content in this patch really) enabled on the highest difficulty.

Dissapointing

yeah disappointing event so far :( no new endgame maps and old endgame maps (dragonfall) got bugged :(

Really?! WHY?!

Way to easy ... just tried the second hardest setting just to figure the map out. I spammed traps all over the place, and to my surprise not one single enemy got near the crystals.

i hope that they will activate nm4 difficulty later...  

Thought they might unlock after clearing NM3, but they dont unfortunately.

Pretty big letdown because of that so far. Not really a whole lot to do for this event if you're progressing through NM4 already....

So just a quick note on these difficulties; we wanted to create difficulties that had the widest breath of range we could. We also have some limited time challenges in this event. We didn't want to create a LIMITED challenge only nightmare IV players could complete. 
However, these difficulties and ranges are Event Specific. Meaning once these maps are no longer only part of the event, they will have all the difficulty ranges you can dream of. (that we currently have in the game)
So you will (eventually) be able to play our spookiest maps at Nightmare IV, just not as part of the Event.

+1 now im bored, because inc nm4  got buffed so hard and 500 ipwr spooky event is too low :(

In addition, ppl lvl 39 etc can join 500 ipwr spooky event, yeah sure.

Ignoring the most dedicated portion of the community? Well done. Been looking forward to this whole week. Disapointed? No ***.

Understood and thanks for the information.

I am happy to get stuck in for the purposes of the timed event and look forward to the NM4 loot drops later.

Same for me. Really disappointed this content is no use for the highest difficulty.
