Hell levels?

[Karnek]

I can assure you that this is how it works. I lost 40% of my level in 2 deaths at level 41. In no other levels aside from the ones directly after a hell level have I seen such severe losses.

I actually remember this from classic live.

Hell levels were bad, but so were the levels after them, simply because the death penalty after hell levels was insane.
