We need a Souls-Like Expansion

Everything hits super hard, rares and bosses in the world can 1/2 shot you, and upgrades are very minimal.

It’s time to make the world threatening again!

That’s a difficulty mode.

No no not a difficulty mode just one difficulty.

It was never threatening.

This isn’t Dark Souls, it lacks the necessary combat system for any of that design.

That would cause too much chaos and drama. At best, maybe a server like that so you can have a masochism contest with the Hardcore crowd.

So whats the counter play?
We can’t roll or parry in WoW. Well, most of us can’t.

Man. Folks go on about the difficulty of Souls games…Really the biggest hurdle is learning the rules. Once you learn to play one you can play all of them without hardly missing a step.

Not counting Sekiro in that. That’s a whole different beast.

Really the best part of them are the atmosphere and exploring the often beautiful worlds. Sure it’s challenging but that’s hardly the draw, at least for me.

Sounds like TBC and maybe Cata heroics at release.

Just don’t get hit by the telegraphed attack

Heck yeah! No mass pulling mobs or you die! One at a time, maybe two at a time if you’re a tank!

That’s never going to happen. The open world has to be for everyone to complete pretty much everything easily.

And a legion of “gamers” to tell you you’re playing the game wrong for daring to use soul ashes to defeat bosses.

Your first line is literally the meme "just get good bro "

As it should be, besides as the poster above you said you’ll need friends to take the world on again like the good ol’ times!

We had that in shadowlands as the Maw. People cried and complained about it…

The world has absolutely never been threatening to that degree. You are confusing you being a new player and thus bad for the world being threatening.

The only time the world was that threatening to that extent was after the scaling update made elites hit like raid bosses at low levels.

But that’s not fair. Not all classes are equal in mobility.
In your world, a DH would be invincible and a SPriest would be giga-hard mode.

You guys are no fun. Without difficulty it’s boring, with boredom comes boring world quests, and with those comes mediocre rewards! It’s time to make things spicy again.

Add in some fun drops that help you survive it, do more damage, have an npc friend with a flamethrower riding a warthog, and you know cool stuff man! Killing me here!

That wasn’t threatening either, it was just inconvenient because you got kicked out every day and had to go do esoteric exploration or clear a torghast wing that wasn’t available for a while to be able to use a mount.

Oh and cheeses to defeat bosses.

I defeated Malenia, Blade of Miquella due to cheese (though accidental on my part)

Was using the Tiche soul ash. Managed to survive to 50% hp. Tiche procced a blood loss and broke her stance just as she phased to phase 2. Had the whole Scarlet Bloom cinematic, but then she died the moment the cinematic ended. Didn’t have to do phase 2 at all.
