Do you find Dungeons fun?

[Moqi]

I enjoy them on their own, but I do not enjoy all the silly excuses they've put in the game to make me run them again and again and again (see: TT, relic, rare drops for furniture, vanity gear, desynthesis items, any kind of light). That made me sick of them.

[Yitan]

I enjoy those that have different things like Halatali HM with the traps that give monsters vulnerability. They need to add more things like this!

[Seniade]

I enjoy them for the most part. The environments are nice and, with players of the right mindset, are fun.

My biggest problem is when I have party members that expect everyone to have it memorized and try to speed through as fast as possible. I see dungeons as a way to interact with other players. Speed runs, especially in df, feel like the player only joins parties to service their own needs and would be content if the other party members were just npcs.

Then there are the players so focused on the end result such as tomes. They find the "most efficient" method for farming what they need, they tend to run the same piece of content ad nauseam that it's no wonder they tend to be irritable.

The first few times of running it sure, especially if it has some challenge to it. But the 50th time not so much.

No. Dungeons are meant to be explored, with a variety of mechanics that allow you to uncover hidden areas and the like. These are just speed run zones with some bosses and a bunch of trash in between.

The worst offender is Keeper of the Lake, which, since 1.0, many of us thought would be where the endgame content would be held (like Coil, etc.), not just another throwaway dungeon. Cutter's Cry, Aurum Vale, and Dzmsdbfgkjdfbgbkd Darkhold are also sad shadows of their former selves.

I do, but under certain conditions:

It's a fun group. Loose, fun, has a sense of humor. I don't need things to be perfect, but neither do I want disastrous. It's a game. Game's should be fun. But it also shouldn't be work. You need to balance the two.

Which is where number two comes in. I don't grind. I try to mix in other things: triad, racing, maps, dailies, Atmas, etc. I always try to have other things to do so that I'm not grinding. Because the grind is what takes a toll.

A fun party that actually speaks is always a good thing. Most of the time people don't even respond to greetings at the start of the dungeon.

As a whole, I enjoy the dungeons. Individually, I can only think of maybe 1 that I just outright dread (I'm looking at you Aurum Vale...)

As others have said, it also depends on the group, as that factor alone can make the dungeon either tons of fun or a complete nightmare.

But as per your question OP, yes, I very much enjoy running the dungeons, and do so very often.

[DoctorPepper]

I used to find them fun back in the day but lately I haven't had much interest in them. The reason being that they are too easy for me to enjoy them. If the challenge isn't there then I'm probably not going to be either unless I need the reward from it. There are plenty of other ways to get poetics and I find myself capping without entering any dungeons at all on a weekly basis these days.

That said, I still enjoy them the first few times I run a new one but that's about the extent of it.

[Jinko]

I like them when they are fresh and new and I don't' mind for the most part doing them 1 or 2 times a day for roulette.

I frikkin hate levelling in them though it makes them so boring and monotonous and just isn't fun. I really hope they plan to add a lot more low level side quest content in 3.0, because fates, leves and dungeon spam is mind numbingly bland.

I would probably like to see them structure dungeons more like crystal tower where you get segmented sections to fight boss and trash mobs, its very linear yea but it would just be neat and simple.

They should maybe focus more on random dungeon generation also, it could make things a lot more interesting, both for monsters and map layout.

The last boss should drop a decent piece of gear also, not something that will be instantly turned in for company seals.
