Them 'Fetid Pools'

I wasnt a fan of this aspect of the quest but its a change of pace which is needed during questing so its fine.I never heard people complain of doing den of evil in D2. This younger generation is extremely picky :)

Making the last 5 monsters move towards you doesn't make the quest any harder.

WTF? How does forcing multiple mobs to attack you NOT make the quest harder?

Any derp can progress cautiously, killing monsters 1 by 1 without dying. Getting more monsters to chase you increases the chance of death, especially in Fetid Pool as there are charging Rhoas involved.

Notifying the player of the last 5 monsters' locations doesn't bring anything fun to the quest, not to mention the necessity of lore to back up your new radar feature.

No one said it brought fun to the quest. It just makes it not annoying.

Lore is necessary for a UI feature? LOL WUT? How is lore relevant to an interface feature?

Maybe once you kill the necromancer every monster in the map should home in on you.

It could be a pretty intense final rush.

That would be awesome!

The last 5 monsters are generally a few normal rhoas and zombies. It's hardly a challenge to fend them off, seeing as zombies are extremely slow and there are plenty of terrain features to deal with rhoas charging at you. The challenge is negligible at most, being no more than if they simply aggro'd to you normally (which happens when you find them...).

How is it not? Everything in the interface can be explained logically. Your character knows how physically healthy he is -- life orb. He knows how much magic power he has -- mana orb. He knows when he is supported by a magic aura or being poisoned -- buff icons. He knows the area he has explored -- progressively-revealing map. He knows what skills he has available for use -- skill bar.

He knows where 5 random monsters are in the area? Why? How?

They just seem to want to make things easier and easier :/

Ok, so more mobs attacking you = negligible difficulty increase. When people are having more difficulty in finding the mobs than actually killing them, you know something is inherently wrong with the difficulty in the game. That's an entirely different issue that needs to be addressed.

Because it is a video game. But to be honest I don't really care much for this suggestion. Making the remaining mobs charge you is better for everyone.

I don't think this implies a flaw at all. It's just something that's a little different from the usual "go X, do Y" quests. This one has more Y.

Maybe use your brain cells for other "creative" things, rather than doing an endless debate which won't be changed, additionally there was already another 'cry hard' thread.

Just clear the area using a pattern, like someone said ingame, like mowing your lawn.

and you'll never miss the mobs.

If you just charge in blindly, without any thought behind it, yes, it can get very frustrating.

I don't really mind it, but i understand the concerns.
