New dungeon idea, would be kinda fun

I know this won't be noticed, or implemented, but I still wanna post it.

To the point, what if we were doing a fight, in an abandoned decrepit castle.
We could, have some pillars that fall semi randomly, and collapse on the area the raid group is fighting. Instead of giving an AOE, you start to see it lean instead, then eventually fall.

Then you could have, some of the roof falling off in semi random areas, using the AOE pre warnings to show where they are going to fall.

Then for the hard enrage, it could be when the entire building finally collapses on top of the raid.

I was also thinking, some of the floor could fall out from under the group, then if u step in them you are permanently dead (like falling off the edge of titan or rav x).

For the boss, it could be almost anything, but I was thinking maybe a cool dragon fight.
Maybe not a huge dragon like normal, but a medium sized one, that moves around quickly. He could smash at the walls, or pillars to weaken them.

Actually, there is already plenty of abandoned/ruined castle dungeons in the game, with certain aspects of what you described (debris or rubble randomly falling as you proceed). Here's a selection:

Haukke Manor (Okay it's technically a manor/haunted house and not a castle but it's close!)
Pharos Sirius (again it's not actually a castle but a lighthouse tower but it has plenty of rubble randomly caving in)
Wanderer's Palace
Amdapor Keep
Stone Vigil
Dusk Vigil
The Aery

So yeah, there are plenty of instances of what you've stated already in the game (except perhaps for the building caving in on you at the end, although I guess the Praetorium could count lore-wise along those lines. ).

I didn't mean just because it as like a ruined castle part would be new.....
I mean THE OTHER PART....
Having pillars fall around you, without an AOE, just from seeing them lean, then fall. As in that's your warning, instead of a big red area u dodge.

I mean dodging circles on the ground is kinda getting dumb right?


And the holes in the ground, that you can fall through, and your gone, instead of "another" push u off the edge mechanic.


Then the whold building falls in on you, if it takes enough dmg or something. (only one similar is Bismark's island)

Another Idea, what if we were eaten by some huge monster, and we had to fight thru its body.

That would be a cool looking raid. I'm sure they could make it work.
They could use slime puddles all over that slow you, and have stuff dripping on you from the ceiling.

You could start from the stomach working your way back to the mouth, be the big guys keeps eating enemies, so they keep coming in.
Also skeletons of other things hes eaten would be cool.

only thought I had for some new mechanic was the boss eats whoever is highest on arrgo, boss room unlocks & then chases the team around using AoE's only till he finally spits them out when they make it back to the 1st bosses room or they do enouf dmg to get themself out (which could just be the thing that makes him spit them out later), even have it so it happens at a random time after he hits below 75% but before 25% to add the fear of "when's it gona happen" to the party, could even make the boss invinible/untargetable during the run too

Oh god...considering the coincounter still manages to wipe parties quite regularly, I'd be legitimately afraid of such a dungeon. Or rather, of the people I'm doing the dungeon with.

PSO Ep 1 and 2 had a boss fight like this, it was the final boss and it would grab a random player and if you attacked it while it had the player then the player would die. It was rather fun when the Force got picked up and murdered by the group, if it didn't have any other healing types you'd be sol if you didn't know how to get passed this part of the fight.
