    More enemy mechanics like the slime explosions or the rhinos tank busting and stuff would be welcome, but actual puzzles and the stuff you're asking for would go against what they are trying to do.

    If you've never played a mystery dungeon game, maybe you should, because I feel like that is what this is trying to simulate, and it does a good job of that.

    Problem is we have plenty of content where you go in and simply kill mobs. There isn't much of a thought process on what you do in there. It really needs to be spiced up with a variety of objectives to complete to be interesting. This is "playing it safe content" at it's finest.

    I kind of wonder if we're playing the same content, because I had to think on what to focus and what items to use pretty much the whole time.

    Of course like I said earlier, I've done it with all dps, and then all dps and 1 healer, so.

    Also solo or 2 manning it requires a bit of thought as well. Try different party comps for a more enjoyable experience.

    Doing any party setup that isn't a traditional one will always make something more interesting for better or worse. It is kind of a moot point.

    Maybe, but the point still stands.

    Even with a normal setup the item mechanics and stuff were very fun for me.

    But like I said earlier, I actually like mystery dungeon-alikes. Think that is the biggest difference here, this genre of dungeon/gamplay or what have you may just not be your thing.
