So, this is something that players haven't seen on beta yet, because of the state the beta servers are at with unlocks. We'll only have the first three layers of Torghast available at launch. Layers four through six will open when Nathria opens and the season starts. Layers seven and eight will become available the following week, alongside Mythic Nathria and everything else. And yes, the intent is certainly that the high layers will require higher gear levels. Of course, the very best players will be able to overcome those hurdles as they do everywhere. But there is a progression we are trying to build towards with Torghast.
