    Open world dungeons

    Something I would really like is open world dungeons.

    At the moment all dungeons are instanced and require a party to enter.
    But what if, after you have cleared a dungeon duty, you could zone in and explore it.

    There could still be mobs about, but maybe a bit less powerful so they can be possibly soloed (but a bit harder that overworld mobs).

    And where the bosses were they can have FATE bosses pop every now and then.

    We could have treasure map chests hidden in dungeons. Also mobs and fates for quests or stuff like zodiac books.

    And hunt marks could be hiding out in dungeons.

    The zones are there, surely it could be programmed so we could enter them like other open world zones.

    This would make the world feel bigger and more exciting.

    You mean having 80+ peeps zerging and camping inside a dungeon? Open World content is an easy equation:

    Case 1: No loot / items -> explore it once -> forget about it afterwards -> not fun

    Case 2: Loot -> Camping zergers -> luck to get anything out of it -> not fun

    I actually had a similar idea I would live an option to visit most the dungeons (after they've been cleared) for enjoying the scenery. Also how cool would it be to be able to say "meet me in the hang out" and it be you're friends and your fav spot in your fav dungeon??? Super mega awesome

    I wouldn't mind being able to enter a dungeon solo uncapped. I've always wanted my own Haukke Manor once I clean it out.

    This I actually think would be pretty rad. I really love some of the dungeons aesthetically like Haukke Manor or Brayflox's Longstop and have thought it'd be cool to roam around them casually without any enemies from time to time.

    Pretty much this. I wasn't for open world NMs too much, and hunts just proved open world content will be zerged and cheated out the arse.
