New Instanced Raids (03/07/2012)

Cutter's Cry is not a low level dungeon.

It makes complete sense for a low level dungeon to be surrounded by Rank 60 drakes and rank 85 ogres.

Mobs can still be redistributed, or ppl can learn to walk past drakes and mites. As far as ogres go, good luck

Oh the monk kick attack seems like a skill similar to cleric or berserk.

Sort of. It's essentially like the elemental fist skills. It's a buff to AA that adds an MP drain, but stays on indefinitely until MP runs out or it's manually toggled off.

Only thing that's unknown is how exactly the Kick buff will work. What I predict is it will simply add a 3rd hit to the regular AA, essentially making it a punch > punch > kick. One extra hit per AA, at least 1.5x the damage, and not elementally based so effective versus every mob, and hopefully (logically) it stacks with the elemental stances.

While I understand why there are time limits for the instances, I feel that greatly hinders the experience of the runs, personally. I loved spending hour exploring dungeons in XI and such, I would love to be able to do the same in these dungeons, despite them being instanced.

I'm not a huge fan of speed runs or anything, but we should be given the option to turn on or off time limits. Turning off the time limit reduces drop rates, but allows us to fully explore the dungeon with no real feeling of restraint. Enemies can also be much more difficult as well as a trade off. Or something. I don't know. I dislike stuff like that, but the time limits are a huge turn off as well.

We have dungeons, In open world, and doesn't have timer.

Looks like copy pasted copperbell mines to me. But the chimera is cool.

It's just the old development teams area for a dungeon filled with actual stuff. Better areas should come 2.0.

Sooo gear change after cutscene hmmmmm...

We also have bots, in open world. We don't need that. Especially with claiming enemies. Instances are completely fine, I just don't like the timers. We don't need to abolish instances to remove the timer.

Unfortunately this, because they know people will complain. Pretty soon every node will be easy to get to and my guide will be pointless.
