Having started playing a bit less it’s getting annoying seeing whole map purple each time. Be it for bounties, challenges or just aesthetics, how about a system to manually prevent pestilence appearance in a zone.

Was thinking something simple like burning a “purified” effigy in a zone would prevent it for 48-72 hours. Would imagine with custom realms we might get controls for it, but that kinda loses out on immersion.

The fastest way to get rid of outbreaks is to just go to the 5th floor of the crucible (something you can do in about 2-5 mins, if you’re end game) and just purify them.
