Roulette Dungeons Should NOT Be Harder

The bigger issue is every dungeon being AOE two packs -> boss -> AOE two packs -> boss -> AOE two packs -> boss. I understand the current design is a direct result of player behavior with the old designs, but there must be ways they can mix it up. WoW had a dungeon in Wrath that was just one big room with prison cells and each boss was a prisoner that busted out, maybe they could experiment with stuff like that.

I guess you're referring to the people who didn't quit when the dungeons got harder.

Having something like Unreal difficulty dungeons, where it's literally an old dungeon updated to current numbers, would also help dungeons be a little more interesting just by giving us a tad more variety. Stick those into Expert roulette and you'd get something more than just the coinflip roulette we have now.

The blue/purple light in Dzemael Darkhold that gives damage reduction + good dungeon music + interesting boss fight at the end + lots of mobs to pull. Fun for tanking and healing in my opinion. Stuff like that please.

Because people llloved a2 :3
And aurum vale. First room used to feek big.

Anyway. I used to like dungeons. Not anymore.
I liked them as half brainless chore. I dont like the sweat and busyness of current dungeons. I get my tryhard fix from other places.
But we probs dont go back to brainless chore mode.
So called hard modes of old dungeons were fun to me, too. But those were done away with in SB. Oh well.

og steps of faith had some fun player mechanics though
