Dungeons modifiers and challenges

[Yumi_umi]

Any handicap that involves some kind of mp gimp is loke a huge no.
Can u imagine, u go into pharos, have half max mp as whm and every enemy has a damage buff etc? A lot of things would be too unbalanced lol

It would only work in full pre made groups where u can control a few variables as to df where u get random ppl etc.

I know the community is very anti speed run, but if they removed all barriers in dungeons, even both boss barriers, you would open up some interesting mechanics.

It must be at best 1 in 10 experts that isn't a speed run when I do roulettes. At least on EU data server, there are more inclined to pul multiple mobs as opposed to one pack at a time. Which I prefer, as adds a little challenge, as MNK, SCH or when I tank em. Especially when on SCH, keeping tank healthy while trying to weave in some dots, micro managing pet so I can keep DPSing has, imo, made me a better SCH than just doing easy single pack pulls.

Challenges does help you improve, making things easy can make you complacent.

Or how about we just don't run dungeons on our 120+ gearsets?

a) Difficult modifiers: At the beginning of dungeon (or during the "commence check") players can vote in options to increase the difficulty (strong enemies, permanent damage/healing debuff to all players, etc). Each modifier also increase the rewards (more XP and gil from monsters, better loot chests, etc)

You can do this already with reducing the equiped average ilevel. Except the rewards.
