Terror zones offline with 2.6?

Hey blizz,

Are we getting terror zones offline mode? (Ps5)

To all people that think its bad… this is single player offline (no way of trading or anything).

I play this game for fun and would love to start experimenting with fire and cold builds.

Just let us choose the area and done. Its offline for sakes.

Is it actually doable?

It is
It can use your machine time to do the tracking or even server info

I just hope TZs finally come to offline mode

I think that a pretty decent implementation of this, would be to add something like Hell+ mode (insert more creative name) Where the whole game is scaled like terror zones, accessible after you defeat hell Baal. You could freely farm your favorite areas and still get XP, without having to wait for good areas and defaulting to Baal runs.

Even easier - terror zone toggle option. If checked, any difficulty where you killed baal will have all zones terrorized (at least the ones that can be terrorized)

I’m not sure that’s a good way of doing things, as players are likely to simply chain the same zone again and again. A better way would be to have a random zone terrorized at the start of the game. Then, when you kill 50% of monsters from that zone, an extra zone gets terrorized. Then, when you kill 50% of monsters from that zone, yet another zone gets terrorized, and so on.
I am saying 50%, but it could be 25%, the point being that you should clean that zone a little, but not have to extensively search it.

Either way, I would like to request solutions for those that dislike the notion of level scaling to enjoy the concept while being able to choose monster level instead of being forced into the scaling part.

But why the artificial variety though, instead of areas people simply like best? Get bored of one area? just go to another.

Not like it ultimately matters if someone would choose to farm only one place.

Ridiculous that the dev team cant find a way to put a timer and / or randomizer on each game creation on single player.

Id program that for them for free

We have absolutely no way of knowing if that’s the reason we don’t have terror zones in single player. It probably isn’t

Updates??? Blizz please?

A single player playing online can’t raise difficulty (1-8) so why not give them a choice to TZ mode after certain conditions are met?

Why is it bad to chain your favourite zone? Not everybody has the need to punish themselves.

An absolutely awful proposition. It’s already bad enough if a crap zone for your build rolls for an hour. But at least you will have one hour with a good zone too. With this idea, you would have to create new games nonstop to get a decent zone and after clearing it in 2 minutes or less… you would have to create the next 10 games to get maybe a decent zone… I wouldn’t want to play that crap. GL keeping a group going that way… especially since 80% of the zones are already bad.

Sure, bit i would do different spawn mechanic , that one hour system is so bad.

You wouldn’t even have to ask this if when they copied my viz-jaaq’tar Natalya bounty suggestion properly

Couldnt agree more with you

You can already mod offline to your heart’s content though. It’s seems odd asking for anything specific for offline when you can very much just put it in yourself.

Terror Zones have lots of hardcoded behavior that can’t be emulated with softcode modding.

There’s also the consideration of console players who can’t use mods.

So much need terror zones in offline play. It would bring me back!

I too would love offline terror zones and sunder charms. To be fair to those who don’t seem to want them, it could be an option to enable terror zones.
