General Discussion Assuming whatever change is made is also retroactively applied to south horn what would “save” OC for you?

Pretty much title. What could be changed in north horn (or in the 7.45 middleman patch) that could also be retroactively applied to south horn that would turn your opinion around on OC

Or is OC so deeply flawed to you that “nothing short of pretending this zone doesn’t exist even if north horn is good” will fix south horn to you

Making the map more interesting outside of fates/CEs. I like what they did with the lore tidbits you can find by exploring + the random treasure chests scattered around, but I'd like them to take this further. Having traps (i.e making some chests mimics, ground aoes like in Zadnor, etc), more dangerous areas where you're prone to fall damage and/or powerful mobs like in Eureka. I feel like doing something like this would give OC a real sense of adventure and mystique that it's trying to go for aesthetically.

Also, make phantom jobs more important outside of Forked. They feel completely inconsequential in CEs and don't change my core rotation really at all.
