When in doubt, assume sarcasm
I like nevereap more than fractal, more interesting bosses and environmental hazards even if they are basically negligible like most mechanics in dungeons.
This. If I absolutely have to do EX Roulette it better be Neverreap. It's open, the tornadoes are fun, all three bosses are enjoyable, and it stands out way more than fractal. That being said, I can't stand to run ex roulette anymore.
For people not looking for patterns:
tanks/healers prefer neverreap
dps prefer fractal

Neverreap has a lot more mechanics that require you to stop attacking the bosses, and longer lasting ones. 1st boss jumps up gotta roam around till you find it, attack jumps back, hit add things etc.... second one totem drops gotta stop what you are doing and go lift them if they are in the way so you don't get more adds, 3rd one after a while starts going around the room gotta stop do the kill the other things mini game then back.
As far as trash goes, those little stupid puks with the aoe every other second. the stupid bees which if not paying attention can down people.
then stupid other annoying crap like the water and the tornadoes.. I'm assuming all this is why people don't like neverreap. I personally think it is a cluster of just annoying crap honestly. The tornados there annoy me the most especially if you get stuck in a toss loop, which does happen. one runs over you > lose control > get dropped >regain control for split moment just to be tossed back up and repeat not to mention sometimes getting tossed up when you are not even with in it's aoe visual which is extra annoying, the only time I want to lose control of my player is if it is SLEEP, PETRIFY, OR STUN. Most of those things are curable or more easily avoided got petrified or terrored by a glare attack? Woops should have turned around my bad, the tornado I feel like I need to be a mile away from it just to not get hit which isn't always possible if you get spawned on luck of the wind i guess.
...
Fractal is a lot more straight forward, with the exception of the last boss, and the dance / stop damage on boss segments are shorter (exception maybe for the last boss) The few annoying trash mobs there are easily stopped and dealt with as well. So even though the run may take the same amount of time it just flows smoother I mean unless you have a rocky group ... but rocky groups happen anywhere.
Anyway that is my 2 gil.
As far as 2 dungeons in expert which was the initial talk... ya it sux, at least with 3 you had the one you liked, the one you hated and then the one that was like "ok i can deal with this although its not my fav"
(Sorry working quick write, no time to proof read hope it makes sense.)
I actually like Neverreap. It's a really easy and pretty dungeon with fairly simple mechanics. Never understood the issue with it.
Not a fan of Fractal, though, personally.
Yeah, no, we don't have nearly a large enough sample size to make generalizations like this. The OF are not representative. I, for one, loathe Neverreap as a healer and love the Continuum.
I just hate neverreap because I get it in roulette almost every single day, making it feel like there is only 1 dungeon in roulette. I don't know if it has to do with the time of day that I play, but getting the same dungeon every time for weeks on end makes it more of a chore than it has to be.
Questing is like participating in an Old Spice Commercial - Talk to me, talk to him, talk to me, talk to him, Now Talk To Me...Sadly, you are not done, back to him, look there, its that mob I never liked, back to me, back to him...I'm in the Waking Sands.
