Escalating Nightmare Dungeon affixes are not stacking

In the PTR blog, Blizzard mentioned that the next dungeon affixes will stack with the previous one. However in PTR, this is not the case. You get plus 1 negative & 1 positive each level, and all affixes get randomized completely.

This completely take away the escalating aspect and I don’t understand what’s to test here. Escalating Nightmare Dungeon is extremely underwhelming. Please fix as soon as possible.

I guess everyone expected it to be this way and I wonder if it was clear to all developers how the system really worked. It would be weird if we dont see a fix in the PTR phase as this needs to be tested.

What I like to test additonally is having negative affixes that exist multiple times on a floor. For example, 3 or more Stormbane’s Warth, 3 Drifting Shades or 3 times more Blood Blisters. This is how I imagine an escalation; screw the balance and also the 3 floor limit!

Btw, has anyone seen Stormbane’s Wrath alongside Drifting Shades yet?
