Please go back to 2 new dungeons per patch.

I've just realized, since they stated that the 7.1 dungeon won't have the same novelty or difficulty as Strayborough or Tender Valley due to them being story dungeons; we won't be getting any other challenging dungeons this expansion. That's really sad to hear and cheapens the hype that those two expert dungeons were able to generate. Back to hand holding it seems. The worst part is, those dungeons aren't game ending, no one would be hard stuck on those if run with Trusts who run directly to the safe spots as they do. Hopefully Criterion pops off, I guess.

It's weird that they would say this because I still see some bosses in Origenics and Alexandria giving people a bit of trouble. We don't need to go back to snooze mode because a few people give up after a single wipe to go complain on the forums.

those two dungeons weren't even that much harder to begin with, people were just overreacting at launch, because we didn't outgear it. But yeah, sad

I still hate the first boss' primary gimmick but that's nothing to with the difficulty or the damage throughput, both of which are lacking, it's just things jumping to the side to grab you for no other reason than to be annoying. It doesn't make me think "Yeah, I deserved that." it annoys me and then removes my agency leaving me instead to think "Right, I'ma go make coffee while I wait this out", the other mechanics in the dungeon aren't bad though. I like the Tender Valley mechanics as a step in the right direction but they need more.

The trick I suppose is in creating a failure result that isn't unduly annoying.
