New Affix Challenges and Objectives
Timed Runs: Certain Nightmare Dungeons will introduce time-limited runs, where you need to complete the dungeon within a certain time frame. These can offer higher rewards based on how quickly you complete the challenges or bosses.
Environmental Hazards: New environmental challenges will make you navigate dangerous terrain while fighting enemies, such as lava pits, shifting platforms, or poison clouds. These hazards will add an extra layer of difficulty that requires careful positioning and quick reactions.
Enhanced Boss and Mini-Boss Mechanics
Mini-Boss Encounters: Along with the main boss of each Nightmare Dungeon, there will be mini-boss encounters that drop high-value loot and provide additional challenges. These mini-bosses will have unique mechanics, forcing players to adapt and create specialized strategies to defeat them.
Boss Variety: Some bosses will change their tactics or appearance based on the sigil or affixes, adding variety to each encounter. These dynamic bosses will keep the player on their toes and prevent dungeons from feeling too repetitive.
New Reward Systems and Leaderboards
Nightmare Dungeon Leaderboards: Blizzard will introduce leaderboards that track players’ progress through the Nightmare Dungeons, rewarding the fastest and most efficient teams with exclusive cosmetic rewards, titles, and more.
Specialized Loot Pools: Rewards from Nightmare Dungeons will include unique loot pools that contain items with special affixes that can only be obtained through Nightmare dungeons. You’ll also be able to find crafting materials for high-end upgrades and Legendary Aspects exclusive to the Nightmare Dungeon system.
