Editor's Note:knownPreyHunt Powerful Enemies with the New Prey Systementirely optional

Normal - Introductory hunts, mostly easy, to allow players to familiarize themselves with the system. This will not be much different in difficulty from normal open-world content.

Hard - Introduces Torments, which will increase the challenge of a hunt, and confines final encounters to a single stage.

Nightmare - Further increases the challenge of hunts. Corpse runs are expected.

Nobody will come in here and talk about how mad they are that there isn't player power tied to it, right?Comment by tupolew519Sounds good to me.Comment by KyldIf the rewards leads us to get Amani Trolls as playable races, count me in!Comment by KerathrasHow is it a “prey” when it’s literally hunting you? 🤣Comment by JhakuziThe only thing that annoys me personally about things like this is the fact that it’ll be an absolute pain to do it in a healer spec and so don’t like playing shadow. 😂Comment by HoundHammerHow is it a “prey” when it’s literally hunting you? 🤣Comment by Azure296So basically, Hunts from FFXIV?Comment by DaylarFarshotSo uhh. B/A/S Rank hunt system from FFXIV?Comment by DeftonicDSounds like my kind of system. I'll be doing this on the daily. So long as it's fun. Nothing better than the thrill of the hunt and kill. Especially if the target is Amani Trolls and Void creatures. PURGE THEM ALL. PURGE THEM ALL.Comment by Faol4n902 truths and a lie

The Prey system is a new open-world system coming in Midnight
Known rewards for the Prey System are entirely cosmetic
This new system is entirely optional

Comment by Faol4n90The only thing that annoys me personally about things like this is the fact that it’ll be an absolute pain to do it in a healer spec and so don’t like playing shadow. 😂Comment by SnippeySurely no one will complain about entirely optional content. Nobody will come in here and talk about how mad they are that there isn't player power tied to it, right?Comment by SeahnjinNot sure why people are comparing this to FFXIV B/A/S hunts. Those literally are more or less rare open world mobs, some with spawning conditions, that stand around in the open world doing nothing until they get attacked by a "hunt train" (the most boring lag fest content ever). Not to mention hunts do have player power tied to them via tomestones.

That has literally nothing to do with what is being presented here, where you can get randomly ambushed. Honestly unsure the people commenting that have even played FFXIV lmao.Comment by ShiedaIt's the Helltide meter from Diablo 4. Not sure how I feel about it but leaning towards "probably garbage"
