I unlocked the secret hardmode “blind” Torghast :wink:

Undeterred by the odds being stacked against me… I put my years of hunter skill of staring at my minimap to navigate, and relied on my trusty seeing-eye Worgen for guidance that I marked with skull, also my engineering loot-a-rang to loot corpses… and after only 2 deaths due to standing in hazards I could not see, I successfully managed to make it to the end and cleared the challenge.

and before anyone says anything… yes, I know it’s just a bug… but still, it was a fun challenge to continue clearing a layer 8 Torghast wing without the ability to see anything other than UI elements and nameplates, rather than restart the run.

Blizzard needs to implement this as a feature

This is how I thought a demon hunter POV would be like.

tbh, if they had a permanent spectral sight type view that also applied the effect on the environment as well rather than just on mobs/players, that would be cool too.

The secret hardmore is to not pick up a single anima while doing it naked. Good luck and have fun.

That looks like it’ll be good practice for the Unbridled Darkness event in a few weeks.

I wonder if it literally will be like this… the tooltip for Unbridled Darkness sounds promising!

“Release the darkness for 15 sec, causing you to be completely unable to view your surroundings. While under this effect, your damage and healing done is increased by 75% and your movement speed in increased by 30%.”

This happened to me. If you exit the game completely and log back in it resolves the problem.

All of that scrolling combat text going up my screen would make me want to go blind. :stuck_out_tongue:

wrong DH are not blind, they see more than normal eyes do they have matrix vision

It’s fun :stuck_out_tongue: Mik’s Scrolling Battle Text and Classic Numbers addons.
Plus I play on a 4k large display monitor, so it’s nicely spaced apart and not as compact as it may appear from the preview images.

this sounds unfun D:! I knew i could of easily fixed it by exiting torghast immediately and restarting the run (no exiting the game required) since the issue started right from the get-go. But I decided it would be fun to just keep going and the friend who I was running with had no objections and was happy to serve as my seeing-eye worgen as I was just following the skull marker I placed on them and my minimap…

they see with their Special Eyes…

MAH BRAND!

Amazing comment

Reminds me of demon hunters that played “blind” for the real experience.

Looks like the hardmode I encountered months ago is now going live :slight_smile:

although this one’s just temporary dark effect, unlike the permanent darkness i encountered :stuck_out_tongue:

Whew, I was worried your UI was that cluttered all the time. I’m glad it’s just a bug though.

Sarcasm aside, you have too much stuff on your screen during combat.

No worries, aside from the fun scrolling text, the UI is no where near my view:

My monitor view is spacious enough that I don’t mind showing all the unnecessary ui elements and action bars along the edges.
