Driftwood-2-4: I just hope they won't just copy/paste this into the open world. When I ask for a harder questing experience, I don't mean at the expense of immersion. When I go into a bandit camp, I want them to have bandit abilities. I don't want them randomly glowing green and having some ground lazer that spins around for no particular reason.

Empire441: "rogues will have an advantage because of stealth" - this needs to be expanded upon. Classes need more niches outside of combat. There should be benefits and cons for each class interacting with the world. A big thing I always thought about was how warlocks and death knights should really not be treated like this great beloved hero, amazing combat classes sure but they probably have a horrible time interacting with the "society" of the world. Especially when the light "called" my character to the sunwell, lmao how does anyone in the vanguard of light not have an issue with my void elf warlock running around the sunwell messing about.

ReyReyzzz: Hopefully heroic worldtier gets expanded into the entire world and all levels one day and be toggle-able on/off kinda like warmode. I’d love to level alts with a hardmode that affects all of azeroth and the other worlds. It would help in making retail leveling actually interesting for once after decades of neglect.

Empire441: "wow questing, prepare to die edition"- my body is ready

jmbrady1: sounds fun initially but something tells me it will be abandoned after a while because players don't want to constantly be in hell

Lighterman999: they need to do this for old zones at max level so you can go back and do low level quests at max level difficulty

Snowfallling: as someone who doesnt raid this is perfect

dethsightgaming: it's hard to be excited for anything WoW related when we know damn well it will be busted af on release. and probably days/weeks later. they won't care till their Yacht fund dries up (the suits, not the devs).

christopherdaffron8115: Punishment has to suit the rewards. That is a lesson NOT learned by Blizzard in regard to the Prey Hunt system. Yes, Blizzard recently removed some of the VERY annoying aspects of Prey Hunts but did not adjust the rewards. Players may well decide the punishment for Heroic World Tier are not worth the rewards. Especially considering that in just eight weeks after 12.0.7 launches, the WHOLE grind with start all over again with patch 12.1.0!

BananaDeliveryMan44: People say they want this, until they play it and will complain it's waaaay to over tuned. I'm calling it now.

allanjones1321: So we will have open world content that most open world content only/solo players will find hardcore and difficult to survive until well down the track (probably with S2 ger) because i274 is a huge hero crest farm and/or new voidcore farm on one toon, let alone multiple alts. So open world content catering largely to raiders and mythic players. I have 18 toons between 255 - 266 but it is slow progress now for those, basically needing rng to fill out hero slots (replace 6/6 champion) and to get hero crests to take them from 259 to 276. Might have been easier if roll protection actually worked - have got the same item I'm wearing so many times I've lost count, and the same with spending 500 field accolades - multiple repeat items.

elekktro_o: tbh they could add harder delves/prey difficulties with better rewards too, so ppl have more reasons to keep doing it

VDHmain: I hope this turns out very difficult, because from my experience, recommended 274 ilevel means it's super easy at 250 for anyone who knows how to press their buttons and not to stand in the dumb; anyone who's been playing the game regularly is about 3 items away from full myth BiS.

ragectl: What made Heroic World Mode in Legion Remix work was that it applied across the original Legion zone and not just a few tiny outpost maps. It also had to be hotfixed a few times, so I expect this will be bugged on release too

Tom-vx7xm: Haven’t played wow since”real” TBC, but question:

If the lore is that it’s super cold, why don’t Blizzard make the zone so you always take a small small frost damage?

That would make a unique experience:

You won’t be able to eat/drink unless you are close to a a few campfires or whatever.

Edit: also would make special frost resistance gear more useful, even if it’s not the best gear - forcing you specify your gear towards this zone. (Horizontal scaling instead of vertical)

atingley0913: 6:18 time to reactivate the WPL zombie-pack kite farming skills

derekl.9202: I really enjoyed this mode in Legion Remix, at a certain point it became the norm and I never went back to the regular mode.

ElliedoGaming: Wow thank you for saying that about ilvl 274. That makes me feel better.

Eventwow: Legion remix heroic was fun.

Xenowarrior92: 100% betting tanks will have no issue stacking everything and not giving a shit like we always do.

JoJo-gz1gz: "Let's add every affix and call it good content"

RB-jf5ww: Wait…. What is the recuperate button?

Olynesss: Love the idea and it sounds fun for sure. Only thing worrying me is class balance and utilitie. This will put a spot light on discrepancies.

Will there be an option for healers?

Let's see.

Zalsaria: The only thing that seems odd is that these enemies from the gameplay shown look harder than an actual heroic raid encounter.

somnus2.5: Belluar video : Blizzard is cooking

Belluar video soon : Blizzard messed up

Dr0Damyen: I really hope they make the rewards worthwhile and make playing as a group a valid option. I loved doing STV in vanilla as a group of 2 or 3, because doing it solo was dangerous.

They should just make hc world tier gear have a track higher ilvl in hc world tier.

NathanUnderwood-q6d: Can we have Nighmare plus in Prey already and drop mythic track
