Public Dungeons and Delves should get a Hard Mode!

Red_Feather · June 2021

Say after you complete all the delves and public dungeons in a zone you unlock the ability to enter those public dungeons and delves as a harder instance. And this harder instance has a higher drop rate.

It'll benefit the game in a lot of ways!

Min/maxers who farm for gear will opt to do their boss rotations in the hard mode, leaving the normal mode alone. Normal modes won't be a wasteland of already dead bosses.
Players who just want an extra challenge to test themselves can return to an overland zone and try out the hard mode version of the public dungeons and delves.
Players who like to group up for zone and guild dailies can choose the hard mode instances for a more entertaining daily.
New achievements can be added giving a bit of new life to old content.
Really incentivizes players to fully complete zones at some point.
I'm sure there is more benefits! Like people no longer asking on the forums for harder overland content every day!

This poor, poor, horse. Just can’t catch a break.

Oh yeah the lack of difficulty is definitely a daily fare kind of topic for this game. I know. I can't help but feel that making a suggestion with valid points is better than suddenly pretending it's fine.

My friends list is inactive again! Less than a week after expansion release! 😭

Pass on this. Well maybe without the achievements.

Who needs difficulty. We already have RNG and timegates to make playing miserable experience.

I want my gold jewelry from delve bosses, it's unfair folks only get gold jewelry at trials. We, the skilled but unsocial, demand gold jewelry drop in the much much easier delves. I dont want to have to rely on other players to clear content and earn the best rewards. More XP, more gold, more items and more content. .. not arena though, thats too hard.
