Dev Blog: Hard mode dungeons and equipment drop

[Arale]

People talking as if anything in this game were hard to begin with, what, gonna say twintania? K.

More variety is a always good thing, I swear people will find any excuse to bitch and moan. Stay classy forum.

Uhh. How is this variety? They're reskins, hell not even reskins, they're just perma-dyed versions of armor we used to level up with. These armors have been used since 1.0. Variety would be having dungeon themed armor, but instead we get this.

Oh I'm sorry, did you miss the part where they added new dungeons so you have a choice besides AK/WP?

Yeah like people bitching about people bitching right?

You are right, there really hasn't been anything overtly challenging in this game. Titan was just a latency check and a complete derp check. Coil 1-4 really is fairly face roll and T5 is funny.

Still not out of line to ask for an actual Hard Mode to be exactly that....Hard.

Yeah, uh huh. What's out of line is bitching when people have yet to even run the dungeons yet. Who's to know if they didn't add some awkward mechanics giving it some sort of challenge, who's to know to they made it piss easy? Eh, I'd say SE if anyone, would know more than all the assumptions being thrown around over a number. Point is, I find it stupid to complain about something no one has any actual idea about, and basing things on something as hilarious as a number.

Even if it is i48, who the hell's gonna complain having entry dungeons that give ilvl 60 as opposed to ilvl55 that wp gives(which is your current tedious entry 50 dungeon)? I know this might sound unthinkable, but bare with me here, there's lots, and I mean lots of players that would benefit from that.

Going off their current track record on non "hard mode" 50 dungeons that require roughly the same item level, it's pretty easy to assess that it's not going to provide a challenge to those that have already collected Darklight Armor.

Mechanics aside, you will already have more than adequate gear to trivialize the encounters.

Look at WP for example....people speed run a dungeon that is supposed to take 45+ minutes to complete in 15 minnutes or less. Also I wouldn't call WP a tedious dungeon at all...The only unforgiving and tedious thing about that dungeon is people not watching the tonberry stabbing you in the face.

Also who is going to complain about having yet another avenue to get ilvl 60 gear for dungeons? Probably those that are already decked out in Darklight and are looking for something to do besides grind the same old dungeons for Philosophy/Myth

All I'm saying is the gear requirement is ackin for something other than "Hard Mode".

Also funny how you are going with the "wait and see" mentality on the difficutly when you yourself even stated that nothing in this game is hard....but I wouldn't expect anything less from a White Knight.
