As you probably noticed if you watched along with us, Register to unlock hidden link (with Blizzard's Register to unlock hidden link and Register to unlock hidden linktaking questions from Twitter and answering them on the forums) was a little light to say the least. Rather than answer questions about game balance seriously, the devs chose to make fun of hunters taming druids and do a lot of hinting and winking. Fortunately, we have Ghostcrawler -- he's responded to concerns about two of the questions yesterday over on the forums.

The first is in response to some feedback about what the devs yesterday called "binary" hard modes -- they said that instead of providing multiple levels of difficulty (as in Register to unlock hidden link and his drakes), they'd prefer to have a hard mode either on or off (you'll be able to toggle Register to unlock hidden link). This relates to what we just said recently, with Register to unlock hidden link looking for different types of content to play. GC replies that the "in-betweens" in terms of difficulty will come with later bosses in normal mode -- if you want to play a challenge without stepping into the hard modes, Blizzard will do their best to make sure that the last bosses on normal give you that challenge. Which makes sense -- bosses should ramp up in difficulty as the instance goes along, and no one would suggest, for instance, that Register to unlock hidden link was nearly as easy as Register to unlock hidden link.

And GC also talked about one of my favorite (and missed) game mechanics: crowd control.
