Adding risk to the game?

[Mistyregions]

This game is pretty safe content wise. Is there a way we couldd introduce bigger content with higher risk? You would gain a better reward. I dunno, I find doing content sometimes has no real value because there is no real risk to it, just spam it and BOOM.

I wonder if it's possible without the care bears getting to upset.

What kind of risk?

What kind of risk?

Elite monsters that wander everywhere. When they encounter a quest hub or city, they start killing everything there until enough players get together and kill them.

How about no ?

Nothing like having to wait for lv 80 to care about it to progress your lower level quest.

Either they became a nuisance because of the lack of interest or they get their asses farmed like hunt and the risk is gone as soon as the timer is known.

What, like Kazzak vs Stormwind? No thanks. It's a funny story, but it's really bloody annoying to actually try to play through.

Idk, I enjoyed the random chaos of early WoW... Yes, even the Blood Plague.

Why things like that tended to work out is they were relatively rare events. They were memorable because they didn't happen often, and while they were incredibly disruptive, the disruption was not a lengthy affair, typically only lasting a few hours at most.

The Blood Plague (and the Zombie plague it inspired that ran later just before Wrath) were in essence one-off events, and kiting things like Kazzak (or the Black Dragon world boss from I think the Badlands) to Stormwind were fairly involved, carried a fair amount of risk on their own, and didn't happen exceptionally often.

A game that has things like occur frequently, as part of an intended gameplay loop, generally has to be designed with that thing in mind from the beginning...and is generally a much different game design that what we have, or what WoW was even back circa 2005 when things like that Kazzak vs Stormwind would occur.

PotD and HoH you loose progress if you die

here's Eureka too where you loose a level if you don't get a resurrection.

I think you need to flesh out what you're trying to suggest. map out the ideas and point out both the pros and cons of what your proposal is. then write it out in full you can edit your posts to add more to it until the work is complete.

As it stands it just seems more like you have half an idea with no direction as to how it goes while trying to get snarky towards others with the close.
