    Can s/e actually make a "dungeon"?

    I know the game calls these mindless encounters "dungeons" but alas.. none of them really are... I would really like to see the "dungeons" and coil for that matter.. go to a more RPG type dungeon... what do I mean? >>>

    I would love to see an actual rng based dungeon.. to where different mobs are in different places.. where there are real booby traps that can kill you randomly placed.. different light patterns of light and dark.. hallways and corridors.. to where every time you enter its a new dungeon. bosses can stay relatively how they are I suppose.. but random mechanics and encounters are what makes a dungeon.. not "there is only one path to take". with all this technology you would think that they could do something that was a lot better. a 1-2 hour dungeon that was filled with mystery every time you entered..

    If we had a 1~2 hour dungeon, people would insta quit when they got it in the roulette. That being said I want a 1~2 hour dungeon

    I do like that idea a lot actually. Sounds very exciting and dangerous. The problem would be getting people to stay for the whole instance. Maybe if the reward was worth the time spent people would be interested in a dungeon like you mentioned.

A lot of what your asking for is already there. To me it's the fact that when I go into dungeon,except the irst few, i'm zoomed all the way out so that my camera isn't constantly glitching, and I can see all of the battlefield that I have to watch. zooming out for every boss fights/regular walking through the dungeon destroys the feel of the dungeon to me

    Yes, the mechanics are there but the random is not. Those mechanics you mentioned always occur in exactly the same place. Triggered by exactly the same thing; after you play the dungeon once you know what to expect and when to expect it.
    Randomness of a dungeon is the true nature of this request.

    1-2 hours for a good group would be way too long. Random is never random in video game maps, usually the system has a few maps and is random between them. Doing true random would likely result in many many bugs from terrain glitches etc. So the problem is that people learn the maps that do exist, and then either it becomes exactly as it is now, or they quit and reform the party over and over till they get the easiest map. No good comes from "random". More complex encounters would be good but the whole random thing needs to be dropped.

    We need dungeons with more gimmicks and puzzles so it doesn't just feel like a linear run of killing trash mobs then bosses in between.

    Like, say, a dungeon where you actually have to provide items from your inventory (not key items) in order to open certain doorways/pathways. For instance, providing i70 sword and shield to open "Armory Room," where, if you defeat the mobs/boss in said area, you'd get a chance at some rare item/weapon or other. I mean, if you're going to provide something like i70, at least make the reward worthwhile, right?
