Love the idea of the maze on top, that's a great concept... Well done!

Now by "Map" do you mean as in new 'zone', or area we can run around in? If so that's flipping awesome!

If not...

Pretty sure it's a quest instance, but I've not been playing the campaign on preview because I want it to be fresh.

My sense of direction is already crying in a corner based on this post.

I like maze running, so I'm looking forward to that. I'm a bit disappointed that a maze in the Abyss appears so humdrum. I was hoping for something a bit more exotic.

Looks nice, and respect for taking the time to get into the lore, can't wait to see it.

I read the whole description.
Nice idea.

I also suggest the following: generate the maze with a number of simple random encounter that can be shuffled during the weekly maintenance. This will keep the maze "new" forever. What I mean is: a number of rooms where the encounters change week by week.

I have just one more thing to say.
I understand that you really, really thought about how to make the player ask him/herself "where I am " and "how do I get out"... Unfortunately this is not going to happen in the vast majority of cases. Most players have 2 questions at the top of the list when entering a dungeon: 1) How long does it take? 2) what's the reward?

All that said, really a nice work!.

This could be a new dungeon ... or at least it would be a nice idea for a dungeon
