Saint Mocianne's Arboretum, What did you think of it?

I absolutely love this dungeon. The last boss actually gave me a run for my money. Here are some screenies for you peeps.

Post your screenshots for Saint Mocianne's Arboretum. Tell me how the new dungeon was for you. Did you like it? Was it challenging enough?

If was fun - I like it better than Fractal or Nerverreap.

Given Sirius Hard seems to be my new Alwaysreap in that I get it every day, I've only run the Arboretum once, but the time I did was nice. It's a beautiful, beautiful zone. Fun bosses too.

I like Fractal more. I like 1min30s boss.

Boring. No matter how much effort you put into the aesthetics, if you're going to be using the same hallway design, it's not going to impress me. If your dungeon mechanics are good though like with Aetherochemical Research Facility, then that CAN make up for things.

i love it so much! many good screenys were to be had

I like the first two parts, the third part I dislike greatly, I do like the final boss though. If we're not talking visually, then it's yet another boring dungeon but that's what I've come to expect.

They both seem a little better than the last two. Though I like this one more.

ARF has the benefit of having both great mechanics and being absolutely stunning as well, with that heavily lighted section near the end. I'd say it's by far the best HW dungeon.

There is already a thread about how pretty SMA looks (though people didn't post screenies in it) that people expressed their opinions on. It got kinda burried, though.

I much prefer Pharos Hard. The dungeon is more of a challenge than this one though I do like it as well.

Glad to see them going more to the mechnic side than simple bashing as it has been the last times and especially in the HW dungeons.
