    Honestly I liked the Black Shroud too but only as a concept. It would've been more well-received if it had more diversity than just a copy-pasted maze.
    Coerthas though...it's still one of the best zones they've made. It felt like a realistic mountainous region. I don't think anything in the game right now compares to it.

    Black Shroud wasn't all that copy-pasted once you get past the level 35 areas. Nine Ivies, Turning Leaf, and Sorrel were quite distinct, and the less distinct NW area was still better to me than the forest portions of North Shroud that replaced it, by far. I was used to an emerald labyrinth. I got dusty generic woods that I could just hike a half-mile to see whenever.
