Thread: Diablo 3 Town raids

Wow, this is definitely different. I did not expect this:

Blizzard hinted at random town raids. If you are hanging in town it can become under heavy attack and you get to move guards to certain posts.

How does that change your view of town being a "safe haven" for you to retire?

I think they put this in so people don't create games and go afk for hours on end..taking up server space. That is only if the invaders can enter the town itself and slay NPCs if you're not looking.

Heavy attack can mean lots of invaders swarming the town or a "siege" type situation where you can't leave unless you kill them. That would prevent needed NPCs (nooo akara!) from dying.

I really don't want to play a RTS game in the world of diablo..meaning I don't want to control guards but if they want to follow me like extra mercenaries and attack with me that's cool.
