Myth changes - Anyone else disappointed?

Pretty much summed up by the title. Is anyone else disappointed that all they did was raise the myth rate of roulettes and CT but not the actual dungeons? I held out hope they had changed the actual dungeon myth rate, regardless of roulette but its not the case. So in essence they changed nothing really except add 50 tomes to CT.

Once roulettes are done you're still forced to run dungeons with substandard myth rewards to grind for myth gear. Just... really disappointed by this is all.

I'm guessing they will change the dungeon myth by 2.3, since they said they're going to buff myth by 2.28 and continue to buff them by 2.3.

I just finished all my myth gear + zenith for all DoW/DoM classes (with 1 animus + 3 atma) before 2.28 hits today, so I'm okay either way lol. Onto Novus grind!

I would agree with this if people weren't already getting 300-400+ myth an hour doing Brayflox SR. It would be nice if the other dungeons got a myth boost but then people would cry about Brayflox not getting the increase, can't please everyone. I'm happy to see the increased roulette bonus, can't say that 50 extra myth is going to pull me back into hr+ long CT runs that i've been getting since 2.2 dropped though. Glad that 2.3 should be just around the corner and that I can roulette with friends now.

I seem to be one of the few in a minority who actually likes the new Ampador. I actually PREFER running Lost City over Broflex sometimes because it gets so tedious and annoying to just run one dungeon over and over again. But I suppose that's just me.

I honestly thought I'd see: "An issue wherein we forgot to add Allagan Tomestomes of Mythology to the final boss in the dungeon Brayflox Hard Mode."

jk.

But yeah, I can see why people are disappointed with the changes announced.

I don't think you are alone. In fact, I suspect the majority prefer the mechanics and ambiance of Lost City of Ampador, but the efficiency junkies among us and within us prefer Brayflox because there is no denying you are going to get in and out faster in Brayflox than any other dungeon.

Meh they are obviously trying to encourage more people to hit those roulettes. I haven't done a Story Roulette in a couple months because 80 myth wasn't worth it. Maybe 100 is now...we'll see how I feel. I wish they would have popped it up to 150 or so though, because getting stuck in a potentially 90 minute Prae I still don't think is worth 100 myth to be honest.

I was hoping the change was going to make it more worthwhile doing dungeons out side of DR, but instead it's just made it even more important :/

You're definitely not alone, I think Brayflox is becoming taxing on most people, just like WP used to be. Personally I like Halatali, but I'm definitely looking forward to the new ones in 2.3 more than anything.

I was really crossing my fingers that they would add myth to the bosses of the Expert dungeons, just because I can't stand the way people leave Brayflox right after the second boss. Sometimes people are jerks and leave after the second boss even in duty roulette.

Big Bang Theory scenario:

Amy: And when people incorrectly spell/pronounce Amdapor, how does that make you feel?

Sheldon: Oh, the same it probably makes any normal human feel. Like I want to rip off my face and tear into 1,000 little pieces of Sheldon face confetti...

Standard reward from story dungeons is 20, plus the 80 you get from Roulette is 100 per day. :|

still not worth it for me to be farming myth. If they reduced the myth cost for items. that would get me to do more roulettes to farm myth, but at this point it's not worth it

And that's the problem. Make the incentive for the dungeon as a whole decent. Then there will be more people likely to help out their friends or random party finders, and it will still make the duty roulette that much more worthwhile as well.

Personally I'd never do a story mode roulette. Not ever. Nor would I bother with a low level roulette as a level 50. The mythology rewards just aren't worth it. But if a friend of mine needs the story dungeons or a low level dungeon I'm all over it.

There is merit in the roulette system and the duty finder, absolutely. But there is merit in making social connections in the game as well, and incentive systems shouldn't exclude that.

My guess is they raised rate in Ct to "encourage" players to actually go there or return?
Atm many trolls and bad players go there now days.
Also noticed looks like low level duty roulette gives the most?
At least we can now go as a group
And I for one like the AK City Dungeon, changes things up a bit, i mean Diablos :D

Well, to salvage what little face I have left, I was pretty sure Amdapor was the right word, but he spelled it Ampador and I couldn't remember for sure... and was lazy.

It's not just you Cervani ^^ And Halatali too, type of PvP is nice as well for a change. But people look logically into games. So they want the best for their time. Not bad, but.. unless you are masochistic, brayflox runs non-stop and asking to do it under 7 mins.. anyway, I don't know about this one, but like Aurum Vale, you cannot vote abandon until 15 minutes have passed..

We always do full runs (I like to enjoy and not rushing), so I don't know if you can get out after your 6-7 min runs?

Back on topic, I think they gave CT more love so we enter it again, since people is trying to make it 'dead' - not to blame them, few last runs were awful and discouraging >.<

+1 to roulette and commendation with friends! Woot!

IIRC, it was 80+20 from Main Scenario = 100 myth before patch 2.28.

And yes, with the community being as it is (don't know what happened, perhaps jaded over time) it's not worth spending time in there for 100 myth, where in 2 runs of Brayflox, you get the same amount.

Lol...

I honestly meant no harm or flame towards you, or Cervani. It's a very common mis-pronunciation and happens all the time. Plus that episode of BBT was on a few days ago so that reference was fresh in my memory. Little things like that irk me, but not enough to get belligerent about ;)
