I'm hoping we get a big change to Festival of the Lost this year. It's far too early to get excited for it, but that doesn't mean I can't look forward to it. Now that Guardian Games got a new exclusive game mode, I'm hoping FotL gets a new game mode too! Or at the very least, make Haunted Sectors feel less like a disposable placeholder activity that was only meant to tide us over for a year after the Forest went away. I still say the Infinite Forest, not just the Haunted Forest, has the perfect setup for a definitive D2 roguelike activity. And even if you don't want to go with the roguelike, there could at least be something to give the same charm and fun as the original HF. The Haunted Sectors just don't compare to the atmosphere or charm, and the throttles on everything make it feel hard to truly enjoy. That's why I personally miss the HF. It was an unthrottled experience. You could get your build up and press hard, and the harder you pressed, the further you got, which meant more loot. The HF doesn't have to come back, but please give us an unthrottled activity like that. With the sectors, if you hit them hard, you're often punished by having to wait for the next spawn, or just missing out on credit if Guardian#6969 decides to one shot a Headless One the frame it spawns on the other side of the map. There's no reason to put forth any notable effort, nor are there any notable results if you do. It makes the experience feel very stiff, rigid, and practically automated.
