Can we get an idea on what to expect from the open world in version 2? (A bit long)

[Hyrist]

Ha, good concept.

Again, I woulden't be opposed to it happening like that, though they would have to make those 'claim' spots in areas with enough space to host those fights, which might limit the amount of locations those could spawn.

Perhaps they can alternate between the two ideas. In certain, less open locations, your party gets sucked into an instance. In more open locations, the 'burning circle' opens up and threatens to wipe those who couldn't claim. That would most definitely keep the content varied and interesting.

I'll agree with Rok on this one. (!) I think a circular boundary could be suddenly drawn and, out of nowhere, a fiery circle could appear; then, only those in the party that claimed would be allowed to stay within, while all the rest would have to rush out or die. Now, that would be a real Burning Circle Notorious Monster!

Please be more understanding with the poor guy sitting around there, who's trying to synthesize one of the best pieces of craftsmanship he has ever made.

Are you really prone to kill him?

Oh, for sure he or she won't be casually sitting in the middle of the open world of my imagination! :-p
