Poll: 1 dungeon per patch, 2 dungeon per patch, others

[Kaurhz]

1 dungeon per patch, I've liked the overall quality of the dungeons this expansion comparative to that of the previous ones. So I'd rather them not sacrifice that quality just for the sake of another dungeon, or alternatively I'd like those resources that'd otherwise be spent on that second dungeon to be spent elsewhere in the game, including looking at more innovative approaches to the dungeons themselves, or other innovative content.

[Maltothoris]

It is a contentious thing to say the least. On the one hand, it would make the roulettes a bit varied in terms of choices. On the other hand, dungeons are usually just wall to wall pulls even on the day that they drop. There have been times where they've tried to dissuade people from doing it, usually to no avail. That being said, dungeons being tied to the story has made this set a bit more enjoyable than the last.

Honestly, I'd rather they use their resources to refine and innovate than just another dungeon for the sake of it.

Personally I would rather have two dungeons. One for the MSQ and one that is savage or extreme tier in difficulty.

That would be nice. I enjoy dungeons a lot more in other games than here. Imo Age of Conan had the best ones difficulty wise and most of them felt really unique unlike here where just the wall colors change

[ItMe]

Dungeons are cool, but unless they do something to better differentiate the dungeons having 2 per patch never felt much different than 1 per patch.
They don't really need to add more than one, so I'm fine with the change.

I'd be fine with the current formula if it actually felt like we were getting more bang for our buck. Shadowbringers seemed to have been on a very, very tight budget despite setting records and receiving praise from just about every gaming news outlet. From a business perspective I get it. Less money spent for a bigger payout is smart. It just sucks for the consumer sometimes. I'm also aware that Covid impacted development across the entire industry, but there has been chances to address some pressing issues and those continue to be ignored.

As for dungeons, I've had some ideas that could shake up the formula.


Change the dungeon layout and give players 2 paths that diverge. Only one path is available in each run.

Introduce surprise mechanics. Enemies that randomly appear, or a boss that stalks the party through certain segments.

Give players an incentive to play well. By pulling more mobs or killing them faster, you get better rewards or drops.

You could introduce new glamour items that are only obtainable by succession of a challenge or various goals.

Additionally, players will receive points. Indicating their efficency at the dungeon. Those can be traded for items of all kinds.

Enemy positioning should change to acommodate strategies.

Players need to devise a quick strategy to successfully survive in certain segments. This could make runs more unique and interesting based on the party composition.

Bosses are more dynamic and will change over time.

A boss might transform and do more damage, use different attacks or will require tanks to interrupt more often.

At least 2 dungeons per patch and can expert roulette have at least 3 dungeons in it.

Im more than fine with 1 dungeon a patch, dungeons get pretty boring and mundane after the 1st couple of runs. If anything id rather like see them mix things up than the usual, trash, boss, trash, boss deal. Dungeon puzzles, dungeon challenges, maybe last boss changes on how fast or slow you get through dungeon like its charging up its strength or clearing fast enough unlocks a harder version of boss, maybe could have different routes, could split the party, or how about no routes and its just an arena gauntlet with random monster waves and random bosses, maybe get buffs if clear waves fast enough or something. But yeah if they're going keep doing the same old same old 1 dungeon is enough...

As the title say, would you prefer they keep the current format of 1 dungeon per patch (2 dungeons in expert). Revert to 2 dungeons per patch (3 dungeons in expert) or would you like something different.

Dungeon is dungeon. As long as it's part of the story or the roulette, I'll do it no matter how many of it is in a patch. The number does not matter to me, so I have no preference, and the same with trials.

On the other hand, if there are more normal and alliance raids per patch or in more patches, that'd be nice, but I don't expect to have more and can be satisfied as is.

[Absurdity]

Im more than fine with 1 dungeon a patch, dungeons get pretty boring and mundane after the 1st couple of runs.

I actually think that this makes the problem of only getting 1 dungeon per patch even worse. Because those dungeons are so incredibly boring after just 1 run the lack of variety makes it feel even more like a chore.


You're either going through a new differently colored hallway or going through a differently colored hallway that you've already been going through for 4 months.
