    Why does EVERYTHING have to be aggressive?

    This is just a small gripe I have, but it can be kind of frustrating when (almost) everything is aggressive. This game has absolutely breathtaking vistas, and they are even more enjoyable the first time around. However, it is difficult to fully experience them when every step of the way there is something else that will start attacking you.

    I'm currently in the Sea of Clouds, and think it looks unbelievably amazing. However, I can't go anywhere without something fighting me. I mean, little flying cats shouldn't be so angry! I really hope that in the next expansion we get to experience these amazing zones without having to worry about everything wanting to kill us at every turn.

    As I said, this is a small, almost negligible issue in the long run, but I do find that it impedes overall enjoyment. Does anyone else feel the same way?

    It's kind of annoying when you're gathering, but that's what stealth is for. If you're a high enough level in relation to the enemies around you, you can stop to take in the sights at whatever pace you want as long as you're invisible.

    Side note, I wish the names of "Stealth" and "Hide" would change places. Seems better placed, thematically.

    On topic though, nah. The world is about as threatening as a puppy, I wouldn't want that to get worse. I'm okay with it having some minor threats and annoyances.

    I feel like the mobs that are aggressive or neutral generally make sense.

    I should just tell you now, while almost every mob in HW areas are aggressive, it's only really bad in the Sea of Clouds because the mob density there is so high.

    I hate the fact the entire open world is a cake walk with zero fear of death. Please SE ignore the OP and actually make getting killed have consequences

    SE ignored you instead a long time ago. I suggest you to try a game with open world PvP if you want open world danger.

    Actually HW was intended to have open world danger in the form of harder monsters way back at launch due to complaints of 2.0 open areas being considered overly easy. It didn't necessarily work but the intention was there. You CAN have open world difficulty without PVP BTW.

    But now due to flying, and hide for gatherers, there is 0 risk. Sometimes I try to gather without hide cos I don't want to move slow, but risk vs reward.
