[Request] Undaunted Keys

Currently, the keys from daily pledges are:
Base Game Normal: 1 Key
Base Game Veteran: 1 Key
Base Game Hardmode: 2 Key
DLC Normal: 2 Keys
DLC Veteran: 3 Keys
DLC Hardmode: 4 Keys
There are two disparities here. I'd like to focus on the second disparity, which is that the rewards essentially say DLC 1 Boss HM = DLC 3 Boss HM. Depending on the group, and their experience, depending on which DLC it is and the PuGiness of the group, you can get 2 HM bosses done, but the 3rd can cause issues, and some people don't have the time for it, and you end up in the situation of just finishing on non-HM Veteran despite having put in the work on 2/3rds of the bosses.
Sometimes, even in experienced groups you'll have the conversation of: "Lets not bother with HM, the last boss is a pain". So you don't bother doing the HM of the other two bosses. Re-working how the Key rewards work would give an incentive for players to engage with the HMs even if not completing all 3 bosses on HM.
DLC Veteran: 3 Keys + 1 Key per HM boss.
This would cure not only the disparity between the 1B & 3B HMs, but would incentivise players to tackle one or two of the bosses in 3 Boss HM dungeons.
