Bonjour !

Une petite information concernant les donjons. Le temps d'attente avant chaque nouvelle tentative sera uniquement de 5 petites minutes ! D'après mes informations il sera possible de terminer un donjon et d'entrer à nouveau juste après.

Translation:

New info concerning dungeons. The wait time between every new dungeon attempt will be of 5 minutes. Based on the information at hand, it will be possible to complete the dungeon and re-enter after.



I'm speechless ...

sweet can spam it in 1 night and then quit again. hah nah jk, but I like this, idk how others feel. I like being able to constantly PLAY the game. Not be told I have to do something else (or log out) before I can have more fun.

if this is accurate then I think that was the seal on the coffin for XIV.

Wow, now I wonder how long these dungeons are going to last as good content if the re-enter time is so fast.

you enjoy finishing all content in 1 week and then waiting 2 months for new stuff to be added?

Why? What am I missing?

What's wrong with being able to utilise content?

We enjoy playing the game. It's not our fault the devs are slow. Punishing us because they are slow is a bad design philosophy.

A good design philosophy is to make stuff quicker.

Utilizing content =/= finishing content in 1 week. Even your precious World of Warcraft is not this casual.

I'd guess the reasoning behind this is:

All of this means big changes to the game’s balance, aimed at giving players the freedom to play however they like. I know there are players out there who are too busy irl to spend a lot of time playing during the week. No problem! Use your anima to get you where you need to go. Maybe you have more time to play on the weekends? Great! Mount up and travel around Eorzea with your companions on chocoboback, or grab an airship! This is the kind of freedom I want you to have—the freedom to choose your own style of play. And it is going to be a major focus of FFXIV’s development from here on out.

Those who can only play once per week can choose to run through the dungeon seven times in one day, rather than being limited to once per day (and hence once per week in their case).

All I can hope for now is that the dungeons are hard enough to clear that wipes are common and we should be thankful that we can re-enter again in 5 minutes as weakness wears.
