More varity in endgame dungeons?

[Zumi]

Can we get some more endgame 4 man dungeons. Currently farming tombs is somewhat boring because all you do is run AK hundred times in a row because its the only level 50 dungeon worth farming.

How about having some other level 50 dungeons besides AK, or having hard mode versions of the leveling dungeons that are tuned for level 50 players.

Hard Modes of all dungeons would be very welcome. It is a shame that so much development time went into some dungeons which will barely see the light of day. I would like to see more advanced versions of bosses such as final boss in Haukke, final boss Qarn, etc.

Oh, there are no such things? I was hoping to unlock hard dungeons after the main story / hard primals...

Nope. There are four level 50 dungeons; two are story-based and give you no loot (but you do get endgame currency items).

I'd personally love to see some variation to the dungeon system rather than a list of objectives that in some form or other, all lead to the same outcome. Disable blabla, beat 2 inane bosses, blabla, defeat big boss.

Bring a new system in 2.1!

Would definitely love hardmodes on the low-mid level dungeons. I enjoyed most of them more than I do the 4 50 dungeons.

Plus it would be a damn sight less work than making a new dungeon every 2 weeks to a month to keep everyone interested. It'd be a simple adjustment and would last us a good while. Because lets face it, the dungeons in FFXIV as a whole, are freakin awesome. They have fairly unique bosses with their own mechanics, impressive in both scale and presentation and often have little interesting mechanics that make loot available.

Strangely we kinda lost that in AK in particular, I thoroughly enjoyed wanderers but its rewards arn't anything fancy. In AK the non-boss loot is just sitting out in the open, speed runs neigh enforced by the playerbase takes away from the scale and presentation and the first and last bosses are pretty dull overall. The first is just adds after adds after adds dragging it out, the last is adds and taking an explosion away from the party.

I read somewhere 2.1 will bring hard mode dungeons. The question now is when will 2.1 come out and where do we actually see the patch notes.

[Janda]

I know they did say hardmodes were coming to the dungeons. My only question in relation would be is that will they be making lv50 cap versions in hardmode of all dungeons or for example will lowby dungeons come with new hardmodes at their respective caps, that perhaps reward player with blue quality gear or something?

How about a system to encourage us to help lower people? the queue times for the lower dungeons are getting longer and longer as more people are getting to lvl 50. If they gave level 50 players incentive to go back it might help with Queue times, provide more interest and spread the dungeon demand so there isn't a 40 min wait for AK.

They scale us down in level, not sure how much of an effect the gear has on the dungeons. but what if they let us get tomes from the lower level dungeons. (same ratio as AK so 40/30 for final boss, what is it 10(?) from other bosses) that was we can still farm for tomes while still helping that community that they want.

It'd be great if they did a "Random Duty Finder," with bonus for solo queueing as a role currently in need, e.g., tank or healer. This would encourage tanks and healers to solo queue and help out lowbies, possibly reducing queue times for everyone and adding longevity to one-off encounters like the story-mode primals.
