New dungeons - inconsistent difficulty?

Let's /10char

Was in an all new group to AK HM, it wasn't exactly a snoozefest for us. o.o;

We did wipe twice the whole run.. at the end. Somehow the walls closed in on us during the last pair of mobs and then we wiped on our first try at the boss. Second time though it went pretty smooth.

Haven't even done WP HM or KotL. In que... which is taking a while.. :/

I think that's the difficult part, you have people on both sides who make it difficult to make the runs too hard or too easy. Easy example would be the Bee's at the Demon Wall. They were removed, some say too hard others just ignored it..in the end the problem was that if you got into a party that couldn't ignore the bee's due to DPS, you had that one guy who just kept on hitting the wall because his gear was over the top and that's just how he was use to doing it. Or they would leave due to the gear of a new player.

I believe you're right, a middle ground needs to be found. I just think it's going to be a challenge.

That being said, don't get me wrong all these dungeons and past ones are beautiful and full of life. I really enjoy running these, even for fun.

If your party wipes on the first boss of WP, even blind, I don't think it's a good party to judge difficulty with.

The other two? Sure, while figuring them out I can understand it. But still.

Like all MMORPGs are XD.

I nearly jumped out of my chair and cheered when the Demon Wall part actually spawned two "bees". xD

Guess they didn't learn from the 2.4 dungeons when some complained "they too hard!" in the first day of em being released.

So what if they're not of equal difficulty? I don't see why they have to be. Besides, they're the expert roulette now. We're all going to run them enough that they're going to become faceroll easy soon enough (if they aren't already - I'm stuck at work, so I haven't tried any of them yet).

The World of Darkness was definitely a step up in difficulty in comparison to Syrcus Tower. The bosses in there are relentless and have a crap ton of mechanics to boot. Surprisingly most of the mechanics in the WoD come from the Second Coil of Bahamut (the pre-nerf version) and adds new ones to the mix. Petrifaction, Fire-and-Ice dragons and Blighted Bouquet make a comeback! All in all, it's stressful since you need to be able to hold up on your own (indivudual awareness of the battle) as well as work together with everyone else (or else you may cause a wipe).
