Seems to be the general sentiment. The mist has a habit of dropping a group of monsters strong enough that even the strongest characters on grid all teamed up would struggle to handle them, often times seemingly spawning them directly into the square you’re in. It’s very easy to but in a no win situation when in the mist, and people are getting abducted often enough that people are regularly needing to go into the mists to go and recover those people.

I’m told that it’s game theoretically possible to recover someone safely if you know what you’re doing, but I think the people who say that are just the ones that got lucky and didn’t have a minotaur, a satry, a shadow creature, a wyvern, and a devouring plant all spawned into the room alongside them.

I imagine some kind of setting somewhere was accidently set too high, or, as often is the case in game development, something was implemented with an unpredictable effect that’s resulting in the mist being way, way harsher than it was intended to be.

I think the mists are great. It gives the game a reason to group and help and work together with a common enemy – the actual enemy. Please remember we’re just early in the game with T2s. By the time t5s are rolling around with their 600hp and 100 damage with 200 stagger per hit… these enemies will probably be rather easy. So it makes sense that we don’t nerf it into the ground while everyone is supposed to be weak? If you can solo them when you’re t1/t2 what’s the point of getting stronger?

The bugs about people getting reabducted while being saved should be fixed. But I think it’s exciting that it moves around the map. Already I see people saying ‘oh I had to camp out at x bar because of the mist’. That’s GOOD. That’s what you want to do. Not check that your house is the middle of the mists and go oh I must go home tonight to sleep and then get abducted.
