Weren't dungeons supposed to...

Be more unique since now there are only ever going to be 2 dungeons added instead of 3.

Pharo Sirius and the new dungeon did not feel unique what so ever. They looked neat but that's it.

Both areas I had no idea what I was doing. Just killing adds as soon as possible and it worked. If there was something special it didn't happen which then must be a glitch. Which day 1 of patch I can understand.

If not and that's how they are, oh boy hahaha.

If you got through the sirius bosses without knowing the mechanics it was only because someone else in the party was doing them. The 2nd and 3rd bosses have their tricks that will cause you to wipe if you don't know what you're doing.

honestly the sirius boses are not hard. They're a little difficult if you go in blind, but that's the fun. sad part is once you figure it out it's super easy

I just did the Mocianne's on my scholar completely blind. The fights weren't too bad if you paid attention but the last fight was a nightmare to heal until I noticed a few things.

Actually, that's not really true for the 2nd one >_> Within an hour of release, I was in PS with all new people, we just brute forced our way through that boss, with all the adds up and didn't wipe

Yeah, it was the same for my first run there. Rather than zerg the boss though, we just killed all the adds as they appeared. Didn't even feel like it was particularly wrong; only found out about using the gels to plug the holes afterward when I was reading about the patch online. I was like, "oh. That does make more sense."

I don't think the intent was to make existing dungeons more unique, but the reasoning was that wanted to bring more non-dungeon things to do with each patch. Namely, gold saucer stuff.
Couldn't find the quote about it, sadly. Reckon it was during a love letter though.
