    There's this thing in the menu, called party finder. In that party finder selection, there's something called "Slow and easy". If you all hate speed runs, maybe you could use that option. I know it's mind-blowing.

    And it's not about the parties either, it's about the MECHANICS. That's what needs to stop. The ones for the bosses like Yeti are fine. But ones like doors won't open to certain mobs are dead. Having your HP dropped to 1% to make you stop is not ok.

    Same could be said for speed runs, there is option for Urgent and Serious play with high-level gear in party finder. Problem with PF is it's basically been taken over by hardcore endgamers, tried a few times to do story-focused for Praetorian for first timers to watch their cutscenes, every time it has timed out. This is a result of most casuals not even looking at party finder anymore, since all anyone ever sees are "tome bonus = kick" conditions.

    Started out giving you the benefit of the doubt with your thread, but your last few posts have come off as aggressive and bordline attacking. Said my part, abandoning thread.

    It is impossible to speedrun the new dungeons. There is not even the option to do so because of how it is designed.

    Your post is basically "didn't read lol, bye".

    Trying to push faster time was fun. Now I don't even run dungeons anymore because it's so slow, and that's in a premade. I can't imagine trying to run it in DF with dex ring drgs and str ring brds.

    Oh no! I gotta wait like 5 seconds to get back to full health?! My precious time I paid for is wasted!!!

    While I get you like Speed running, you are still coming off very aggressive towards other people just explaining their point of view. So since you won't listen to others I'm just going to tell you this & leave cause you obviously just want to fight with people who don't like to play the way you do:

    How about you ask SE to be able to purchase your Poetics in the cash shop! There, problem solved & you don't have to bother with those horrible dungeons anymore & can stand afk in Mor Dhona with all your i120 gear!

    Ultimate Speed Run= $5

    Because most people think I am talking about party members being slow. I am not and have to keep repeating myself. It's the mechanics. I wouldn't even care if the option to speed run was there, but you can't the game forces you to stop at a lot of points.

    There is no threat from pulling one group of mobs. it's a rush when you pull everything like in Brayflox or Haukke Manor. When I to pull only 4 mobs cause the other few won't spawn until the other dies, it's no threat = no fun.

    Yeah I have to wait 5 seconds, but that adds up with all the other mechanics that force me stop.
