[Draco]

So new dungeons were just announced on the lodestone. The link is below.

The single screenshot given is.... well.... ok, nice to know there will be a pre requisite to getting into dungeons, but why on earth is there a 60 minute time limit. How can you possibly have any kind of meaningfull dungeon experience in only 60 minutes. If the maximum time limit in the dungeon is 60 minutes, it is safe to say the dungeon, from start to finish, is beatable in more like 45 min, if not less. How can you go through areas and areas of enemies and finally to a boss at the end in only 60 minutes. I dont understand why whenever SE releases anything and I mean ANYTHING, they always have to put limits on it. Why not allow people to experience it at their own pace. I just cant for the life of me understand this.

Time limits allow for the best kind of content to be created.

You should not punish failure. You should award success.

With a time limit, every group can accomplish something. Good groups can accomplish more. As it should be.

Nyzul isle, Salvage anyone? Bad group can clear 5 floors. Great group can clear 15. Bad group can kill one NM or mega boss. Good group can kill everything.

Every group accomplishes something. Efficiency is awarded.

the fact they state loot will depend on certain conditions made it very nyzul. I like it

Yeah that the 1st thing I noticed.

don't expect anything else than every single thing in this game to be made into a leve of some kind, everrrr!

Well we don't need people beating the only major content we have in only a day by trying it over and over. Also future dungeons may not have time limits.

You are comparing FFXI Endgame to FFXIV mid game content. Even the rank 45 dungeon, while it might be endgameish now, it will not be an endgame dungeon when PS3 version is released and there is actually a decent population playing this game. How is anyone supposed to take in the scenery of a dungeon and enjoy all the intricacies with a 60 minute time limit.

This is a bad thing how? From what I understand almost all instanced content on almost any MMO is timed to some extent?

How is this time limit a bad thing? Unless it's gruelingly brutal on time "Nyzul" I can't see any issues.

this is about what i figured. they put a 60 minute time limit on it and it's going to actually take more like 10 minutes to finish it. remember leves have a 30 min time limit and most are completed within 5.

So besides FFXI, what MMO's are you referring to. I have played over 10 MMO's and have never encountered any time limit instanced dungeon situations besides FFXI, and I dont remember that from any of the COP dungeons, just the couple of endgame ones.

Sounds lame and boring.

This isn't a picnic.
