HGL 031: Nightmare Developer Response

Source: http://forums.hellgatelondon.com/showthread.php?p=388072#post388072

Maledon has posted in a thread regarding Nightmare mode concerns. Apparently from Flagship's point of view, everything is fine and balanced. No real information was given as to how they tested it (whether characters were brought up from Normal and straight into Nightmare, character levels, equipment, whether they played through the entirety of Nightmare in consecutive playsessions), so it is suspect as to whether they have an accurate picture that is comparable to how the playerbase is experience that mode at the moment.

He did say that QA will take another pass over it, but you've got to be wondering whether anything would be different if they did it right the first time. If there are significant changes brought on by this new pass through Nightmare by QA, then why didn't they test it properly first time?
