60 Minute Time Limit on New Dungeons

Well we don't need people beating the only major content we have in only a day by trying it over and over. Also future dungeons may not have time limits.

This is a bad thing how? From what I understand almost all instanced content on almost any MMO is timed to some extent?

How is this time limit a bad thing? Unless it's gruelingly brutal on time "Nyzul" I can't see any issues.

So besides FFXI, what MMO's are you referring to. I have played over 10 MMO's and have never encountered any time limit instanced dungeon situations besides FFXI, and I dont remember that from any of the COP dungeons, just the couple of endgame ones.

CoP "Dungeons" were a area, not a instanced event. If I recal Correctly Ultima Online also had some timed dungeons as well.

One reason to limit the alloted time is probably to creat a sense of urgency and actual teamwork. Hell Limbus could be SOLOD by a single blackmage and if givin unlimited time they would be able to finish the entire thing.

Exactly. You'll be able to take in the scenery just fine as well as get the job done within an hour. Besides with different objectives, you might have to revisit the same place multiple times until you know whats up.

Um no. Most MMO games do not do a timed thing. If by timed you mean a week or 24 hours then yes. Sorry one hour time limit just means your too lazy to make a big meaty dungeon. When most mmo gamers are used to 8 hour 13 boss fight raids how this tiny raid idea is a good thing is beyond me. If i want to play for an hour max i would play tetris.

SE reffering to these dungeons as raids is probably another issue in it's own. From my understanding, a 4 man group is a LIGHT party, while an 8 man group is a FULL party. 4 man and 8 man groups groups do not constitute a raid. A raid is a huge undertaking by multiple full party groups together. They might want to amend that wording as well. Again, just my opinion.

Still no good reason to dislike the limit. "other games don't do it" is laughable.

Play other games then.

It's an unnecessary restriction lol simple as that. Should be able to explore and clear at your own pace, the challenge shouldn't be in friggin zergin the hell outta it and rushing but in harder encounters/battles!!!...... and no this will be one of the very few times I've seen or heard of mmo instancing being timed. As Draco said EVERY thing they release is restricted, typical SE bull****. The game is in bad enough shape yet they still don't understand their players or people who would wanna play. It'll prob be lifted the next patch after anyways... such a waste of time... SE LEARN from you damn mistakes already, this is what got you in this mess in the first place... *facepalm*

Do you actually know how challenging it is? Have you played in the dungeons yet? There's no reason in raging over something you have no idea of how it's going to play out.
