Are people excited for a new Deep Dungeon?

[Aniise]

I'm actually looking forward to it, but to be honest, this is only the case because I have the privilege to be part of a mini static for Deep Dungeons. If I wasn't, I don't know how long I would be engaged with it.

Though I'm really wondering how the difficulty level will be, since Orthos seemed a bit harder than the ones before to us. But I guess we'll see..

[Valence]

I just don't see anyone doing Orthos. Most people I seen that already cleared, people that enjoy this kind of content or ones that want the title are doing palace instead. Heck even one of my friends that has the title from all of them said he couldn't be bothered with Orthos anymore since it was just flat boring.

It's also unforgiving. Mobs have so many untelegraphed crap that will oneshot you (or your team if not solo) that even stepping into a luring trap spells the doom of the run.
As for the bosses, they've actually stepped up to modern XIV mechanics as well so some of them notably the later ones are literally on extreme/savage level which has never been the case for potd or hoh.

[Wolwosh]

No. Getting tired of the same content in a new coat. Its becoming incredibly stale

[Nadda]

Genuine question! I only did the occasional PotD when I was new to the game, then did 30 floor HoH for the story, and sadly missed out on doing Eureka Orthos in time and now I can't get a match to finish the 30 floors.

It seems not many people do deep dungeons and the people that enjoy this type of content usually prefer the solo runs for the challenge, so I'm curious what are you guys thinking of the prospect of a new deep dungeon being announced soon (possibly even in 7.3X)!

Si not only that but we're getting new level cap for Blue Mage and Beast Master next patch so that'll be fun.
Honestly I'm surprised we're getting a new deep dungeon so soon so this'll be a blast specially for all those people who like challenging themselves.

I think Variant and Criterion is on the docket as well so that'll be good.

Orthos is slightly harder then at least HoH, I'd argue it's the hardest of the three, but not for anything exciting; mostly poorly used mechanics and enemies that are HP sponges. You can tell what Deep Dungeons are more favored when there's almost always someone near the PotD and HoH entrances, but can never find people for EO.

To answer the original question... Eh? I'll try it. I'll probably end up getting to whatever the "story" end floor is, maybe get a full clear in with some people, and then stop. (Unless it's like EO, in which case I'll stop after the story floor) EO really was lackluster to me compared to the other two, and with how lackluster everything has been lately, we will see.
(While I'm here, can we have the one EO TT card on an NPC? Thanks.)

Orthos is the easiest, if you do the mechanics you clear it 100%. The people who think it's hard try to play it like PotD and HoH with a 'hold on to everything' mindset but in reality you just blow poms and clones as you see fit and do the mechanics and it's a guaranteed clear because outside of telegraphs and wind-up mechanics nothing can kill you unless you try to get killed.

Personally I hope that the next DD goes back to a PotD design with 200 floors and heavy resource management. There's no need to turn the only tiny fragment of skill/brain content this game has into the same garbage that raiding is.

[Mesarthim]

It's basically all I do besides roulettes now. All I ask is... please for the love of god no more caves. Orthos is 40% cave.

[Raim]

It would be fun if they changed up the formula.
-Make each run unique with different enemies
-Play with the layout more, not just a bunch of squares together but multiple pathways
-A daily deep dungeon roulette that puts a group of players in a completely randomized set of 10 floors with a random theme+enemies+boss

[Avoidy]

Honestly, my memories of the deep dungeon in EW are pretty short lived. I remember dropping it after a couple of days due to how tedious it felt. But that's just how I am; I don't think the content's for me.
The only thing this expansion can give me that might make me happy are variant dungeons, and an increase on the furniture cap in APARTMENTS as well as houses. OC was such a letdown for me. I feel dumb for putting so much hope in it being good and long lasting. It's so stupid that you can't level an alt job in it, or store up phantom job exp so that you can level alternate phantom jobs while playing the phantom job that you -actually like-. And there's no casual largescale raid option like how bozja had delubrum normal and castrum and dalriada in addition to DR savage. This one literally all builds up to some hyper coordinated raid that most of the casuals who wanted OC aren't even interested in learning. And then the people who DO want to run it can't even get their group synced into the same instance because IMAGINE just letting people queue into stuff like they did for DRS.

idk man. DT's story was ass, but the raids and the trials and the dungeons have been cool, so I had a lot of faith in OC but nah this wasn't it for me. I don't think deep dungeon will magically be more fun than the boring thing it's always been for me. You know what, though. OC had some fun fights. I think there's someone on their team who's great at making fights, but not good at all the stuff around those fights. so maybe variants will be cool, since all they have to do is design multiple paths to get to a cool fight. i imagine the paths to get there might be boring af, but the fights themselves will be cool and that's at least a 7/10 experience for me.

finished potd once back in HW. used it a lot to lvl up too. i dont think i've ever finished the tower. and didnt even enter the last one.

no i'm not excited at all. i would be more excited if they added another sastasha dungeon to show what happened there in the meantime

Pirates and Sahagin have been driven out by <stock image> aliens from planet whatever. Whole place is loaded with scifi <stock image> machinery, while a giant brain in a <stock image> glass container plots to destroy the multiverse in its entirety. There will also be a lot of scifi stock images there, so I hope you're all excited by now!
