Q7: Will housing get a much-deserved revamp?
A7: This is also on the docket for later this year. We're testing out some ideas now and we'll see what shakes out.

Too bad. I get that they are probably doing it to streamline the player experience, but there was always something useful to do (hunt trash, do some easier quests) while you waited for dread to time out, as well as the possibility to use a token to make it go away.

It had a nice balance of making you want to avoid death while at the same time not being overly punishing.

Plus, hope/dread was a nice piece of flavor which will then be completely gone. (Although removing it from its old raid gear gating function was a good idea)
