Whatever happened to different routes in WoD?

[Obysuca]

Haven't seen anyone else mention this since 2.5 came out, but, anyone else remember reading 2.5 update notes and seeing,

"Each party in the alliance will receive its own treasure coffer, the contents of which will have the same possible rewards regardless of the route taken."

for WoD and wonder what happened with that? They specifically said "route taken", meaning there would be different paths to take, yet there was no change in the update notes and theres only 1 path in WoD.

>_> Tbh, it would have been nice to have multiple routes and different bosses, instead of a single path for everything in the game.

Copy and paste from CT. ST says the same thing.

Yet still, one single path in each of those lol

I think it's meant for the three alliances, to say that the chests are the same for everyone, and there are 3 roads, at the atomos fight!

Its probably also a copy/paste from the LoTA Patch 2.1 patch notes. That's the only Tower with branching paths, sort of...

I'd love to see more branching dungeons. Right now it's basically a big corridor. Some of the older dungeons had side rooms which housed a chest or so, and I think there's literally only one which gave you a choice of route (Tam Tara Deepcroft story mode), and even then it amounted to a parallel corridor.

So, I'll chime in with my support for alternate dungeon paths. Doubly so if each route had its own different bosses. At the very least it would make repeated runs of the same dungeon more interesting and less cookie-cutter.

Dungeon you're thinking of is Toto-rak, Lemuria.

Anyway, while it would be nice, probably wouldn't work out all too well... unless they treated it similarly to T11. They could have made it so the Alliances would go down their own paths and defeat their own trash mobs and then group up together again for the boss fights. Atomos Prime (or in general) is what I like the most about WoD.

This is what I thought CT to be, full of branching while the parties join up for the big fights. Then come release and people see it's just the same identical corridor for everyone. LotA is not a labyrinth in any sense of the word and even the achievement mocks it for this fact.

You're so right... as you can probably tell, for me most of the really low level dungeons sort of blur into themselves after ages of doing higher level content.

The 24-man raids really do need some branching. Have each alliance do something different... I like fun instances, not Trash > Boss > Trash > Boss > Trash > Boss > Boss...
