So much of its scenery is locked behind instances. The other day I unsynced Dusk Vigil, cleared it, and then walked around with the UI off. Looked off into the distances. Zoomed in on misc items lying around. Great detail. I loved it. Although the repeating Victory Fanfare got annoying fast. I wish we had to opporunity to just walk into these dungeons outside of DF, no mobs etc, and enjoy the scenery. You que, rush from mob pack to mob pack and theres no time to just enjoy the area in its entirety. Its a shame.
The game if beautiful but...

Some of the dungeons look great, I go back and revisit them unsynced (solo, or with friends), and enjoy the scenery at my own pace, whilst getting drops for glamour/gc seals/desynthing. In DF, people just want to get in and out in the least time possible, it's the nature of the beast I'm afraid with regards to mmos, most people play at a fast pace, or have time constraints (and there's NOTHING wrong with that, before people take me out of context and think I'm judging!) Shame you're not on my server, I'd run some dungeons with you unsynced for fun and exploration, could always put up a group in Party Finder and find some like-minded people :)

Most of them never really caught my eye (though Haukke was fun as a concept) until Great Gubal Library Hard. That place is beautiful in certain spots and it is a shame that its just kind of a Run and Done kind of experience. Then again, if it weren't a dungeon, I doubt most people would even see it beyond the first encounter, so... not sure if that'd necessarily improve things much.

I wish they would lengthen the time after duty completion that you have to exit.
I love the design of Kugane Castle and would like to run through it at the end and check everything out in finer detail - but the 5 min window is just too short, and I can't just unsync it for obvious reasons.. -

Would like XIV version of ESO delves. Dungeons(multiple) you can enter solo or group up for for experience and unique loot.

I still think that the dungeon timer is silly and that if SE knew how to properly structure their instance servers, it should be unnecessary... Can spend as much time as I want in any WoW dungeon.

08-31-2017, 01:26 AMManuelBravoComparing a Wow Dungeon to FFXIV is funny. Besides I think SE wants to be productive and keep people moving not sight see and hold up people for too long. You can always make a sight seeing tour party then and just wait on End until your done sight seeing.Quote:

They shoudl really add npcs to the dungeons and open the dungeons as locations we can visit normally without having to queu for the dungeon. Imagine brayflox full of goblins and you can visit it like a normal area, or sastasha full of pirates or something.
