Every Diablo 3 player receives the warning, "many Nephalem have stood where you are now, but few succeeded in overcoming the trials," from Orek when learning of Greater Rifts, but now a new type of Rift awaits us: the Echoing Nightmare.

There are various characters who have been important to Warcraft as a whole, and World of Warcraft in particular, that we haven't seen for a while.

An alternative to the standard tab target or click-to-interact that WoW players have been using for years, the soft target feature will automatically target an NPC or enemy within medium range that your camera is centered on -- you don't have to get right in their face, thankfully, but casters and hunters will find it hard to start combat from maximum range with this feature.
