In your opinion what was the best designed dungeon in the game?

[Puremallace]

Other contenders would be:

-Lost City of Amdapor (Best ARR dungeon)
-Antitower (Best HW dungeon)
-Ghimlyt Dark (Best SB dungeon)
-The Heroes' Gauntlet

That same list execpt put Amaurot in for Shadowbringers. Nothing beats the story telling and introduction to that instance. Reminds you of the Lich King taunting you prior to the release of ICC and you learned big story details about the bad guy.

Might as well tbh. Anyone who complains about immersion doesn't even have a saying anymore lmao. Right now we have garbage like male in bunny suits, yokai garbage, and neir trash in our game. Adding Mcdonalds into this game wouldn't kill the game anymore than it is now tbh.

Huh? Did I miss something? Who was talking about immersion and MD's?

I like Snowcloak aesthetics wise.
Also love Gubal Library, the Vault.

I think we need anothet version of Haukke manor or Vampire/Halloween theme dungeon or zone.

I still really like the older dungeons, notably Qarn and Stone Vigil. They have that old school RPG dungeon feel, and both incorporate side areas you can check out if you want or you can just mainline it to the end. Heck, Qarn even has "puzzles."

Out of the more recent dungeons, I have to say that I largely enjoyed most/all of the Stormblood dungeons. They were mostly what has become the usual hall/boss/hall/boss formula but they generally had a sense of direction and creativity to them at least visually.

As for ShB? Honestly, I don't particularly care for any of them. Amaurot is probably the best storyline and setting wise but it just doesn't hold my interest after doing it a few times. I actually really enjoy playing Heroes Gauntlet because I enjoy the bosses and find the trash inoffensive but it's ugly visually and typically meh design wise. I really do feel that while ShB is better than SB in most areas, SB was a ton better in it's dungeons.

xD LOL it happens.

I feel like I'm the only one who likes the 71 dungeon.

Brayflox Longstop. It has enough nook and cranny to satisfy players who want to explore and/or looking for more exp. It also offers short and quick route for players who just want to finish the dungeon as fast as possible.
It's the perfect balance between openness and linearity.
Plus, the scenery is simply beautiful.

In terms of story and whatnot, Amaurot. You know how dungeons are often referred to as the rides in this themepark MMO? Well here's an account of the Final Days, miserably recreated by Emet-Selch. What a ride that was.

As far as gameplay... 2.1's Pharos Sirius. That place was the antithesis of what a lot of parties knew, and that's why I loved it. A boss you couldn't burn down without causing issues, a mechanic for the healers, having to manage a boss's stacks to avoid them one-shotting people, etc... I remember timing out on it once or twice lol... as well as hearing stories of people not unlocking it so it wouldn't show up on the roulette. Anyways, I feel like that was the last time a dungeon was a bit of a struggle. Been smooth sailing ever since.

Edit: Oh yeah, the cherry on the cake was that the music in PS is damn good.

I'll go for the Sunken Temple of Qarn. The hard version at least, which is one of the better level 50 ones.

It gets major bonus points for being a temple to Azemya...
