Open world HM is almost guaranteed to be optional. A lot of players are happy with the current open world difficulty so Blizzard isn’t going to take it away from them.
I suppose OWHM could be fun if you are in the mood for a challenge.
Edit: I wonder if Blizzard going to make OWHM no flying …
I really think its gonna identical just with tanker mobs.
Think remix scenarios without upgrades
I like the idea of actual challenging world content, but this just separates the player base even more.
We’re already phased depending on quests completed, sharding, warmode etc. You never feel like you’re part of the world anymore.
Hopefully it’s mandatory and elites mean something again, or at least add something higher than elite cuz nobody was touching the frl reaver or storm giants solo
I suppose that is a concern. But we already have War Mode …
With sharding it probably isn’t going to be too big an issue as people in a specific mode can be grouped together on the same shard.
Yes. I love this idea.
I want the feeling of playing a Hardcore character going into Redridge against Orcs, where you have to plot and plan your way around the zone, and taking on mobs involves skill and consideration. It’s stressful, it’s rewarding, it’s amazing.
@Devs and pals, bring this feature to Retail, it will be amazing.
The Prey system in Midnight will be the beginning of this on the retail open world.
I would go into this looking to be pleasantly surprised rather then expecting it to be amazing.
I really suspect its just gonna be tanky.
I think what ever we get will be a combination of the Legion hard mode and Midnight Prey system, so, it could be made pretty complex.
I don’t think so… just as I don’t think the nemesis system will be in.
