Area typeEdit
What are the major differences between Private and Mission area types on the Location infobox? StanNPractice (talk) 15:35, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
- I would argue that Private is areas where you can enter from patrol with no random players in them, while Mission is areas you can only enter as part of a an activity. Ex Queen's Bailey is Private, Temple of the Navigator is Mission.Scorn Enthusiast (talk) 15:43, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
- Why are areas in Dungeons and Raids only Private? StanNPractice (talk) 15:45, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
- Mission is not an area type.

- Mission is not an area type.
- Why can't it be?Scorn Enthusiast (talk) 16:01, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
- Having a completely different area type is not needed, especially when it comes to the areas like the Deep Dives which are not even considered Missions. Strikes, Raids, Dungeons, those would be completely different categories which would then need their own separate area types. Mission would not fit them. It's easier to just label them as private since they're instances, not Public.
- There exists an official term for it in-game: Darkness Zones or Restricted Zones in D2. StanNPractice (talk) 16:08, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
- We don’t use those terms and they are exclusive to activities, and they aren’t consistent. Like Esi Terminal is a Restricted Zone during the Under Siege mission but isn’t during Patrol. TheTrueSorrowMaker (contribs) 16:12, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
