"When playing a Terror Zone-enabled game, every hour, the armies of the Burning Hells will focus their demonic might on specific zones, terrorizing them.

Upon entering a Terror Zone-enabled game, you'll be informed of the current terrorized areas through a message sent to you via the Chat Box. When the time for new terrorized zones draws near, you will be informed of the impending changes via the Chat Box.

In addition, you will be informed that you’re entering a terrorized area by several indicators:

Unique iconography next to a terrorized monster's name
On-screen text and messaging
Special audio cue
In-game text on the auto-map"


looks like this will work on diablo, baal, and nihlathak as well. not sure what sort of difference in xp gained would happen with the +5 levels to each of them on say a level 98 for example, but i think this is going to accelerate both leveling and finding good gear.

i just want to understand if this is something that happens server-wide every hour or how the timing works exactly, it's not really clear.

People playing the ptr said that it's in a zone for an hour then swaps every hour to a new zone as long as your in a terror zone enabled game. Lots of xp

Likely won't be coming back next season. New patch just took the joy out of the game.

All this did was retrigger me over how terrible chatting in game is now.

Hey bud, played some of the ptr and how it worked:
Every hour the area changed you could just keep making new games and farming the current area.
I was trying it on the level 98 they gave us and when Baal was the terror zone I would get about 180k from a p1 game just the waves and Baal. 120k from arcane/frigid when they were each terror zones (also p1). Did not get to do p8 exp testing. If this is what hits live server 99 will be super easy

yeah it's ridiculous how bad it is compared to classic



wow.. if that's the case then 99ing will literally take like 10% of the time it did previously at the most lol, baals are over now i guess (except for when throne is the terror zone)





yeah rip baal runs wtf man

i still plan on playing and trying it out but that's such a massive change to xp, it's not going to be the same sort of leveling process anymore, not even close

Seems to take away from group levelling and team play? Unless throne / Baal / chaos is the Terror zone?
