That we only have two dungeons to run constantly is pretty much the reason why I'm still on i166. I just don't feel like doing all that anymore, it's not fun, it's not enjoyable. I get that FFXIV is more of a story mmo, but if they have gear progression to keep you busy till the new stories release, than atleast give us more, give us a reason other than: "hurr durrr my ilvl is higher than yours". The only thing it does is bring more elitism in the game, and there's enough already. People expecting everyone to know a run perfectly if they run it for the first time. Thinking that just a video or reading up would be enough to get the mechanics, and don't want to accept that there are people that like the surprise.

I like the lore of the game, but not the direction it's heading with gameplay.

you guys tought of this : maybe neverfractal and alwaysreap will still be part of duty EXPERT with 3.1 only that to unlock expert you will need to finish all FOUR dungeons then since they are all lvl 60 you cannot add em to low level roulette or high level roulette at all. my guess is that all new expert dungeons will be part of expert from now till 4.0.

thats what i am guessing here. that these 2 new dungeons will be ADDED to current expert and not REPLACE em like before. we dont have a high level roulette for lvl 60 dungeons anymore currently. sure they could add one thats another possibilty but since se was lazy with endgame design the other choice is more likely.

Yes to all of it!

Especially since we're only getting 2 dungeons per patch now... so sad.

So long as they ship 2 difficulty options per dungeon on release, that'll be OK.

Game seriously needs EX Dungeons.

...maybe neverfractal and alwaysreap will still be part of duty EXPERT with 3.1... my guess is that all new expert dungeons will be part of expert from now till 4.0.

This would make it even worse. I'd rather have only the two new dungeons to random-roll than have a chance to keep running Neverreap.

I've run so much Fractal & Neverreap, I would despise having a 50% chance to keep running them daily.

It's funny how quickly people forget.

2.0 "Endgame dungeons"

Wanderer's palace
Amdapor's Keep

Wasn't until 2.1 that we got

Pharos Sirius
Copperbell Mines HM
Haukke Manor HM

Keep in mind how many dungeons were released in 3.0
8

How many dungeons were released in 2.0
14-3 if you count the 3 1.0 dungeons as "reskins"

But overall I think that's what many forget, that endgame in 2.0 was 2 dungeons, then 3 dungeons added after however Duty Roulette wasn't even added til 2.1, so you think gaining tomes is hard in 3.0 where you just have to do expert 6/7 times of the week to cap, then imagine having your only way of gaining tomes was just through dungeons spam. But what's more, Expert roulette wasn't even implemented til 2.2 so the boost in weekly tomes didn't exist for 2 patches, wherein 3.0 we got it right off the bat.

Sounds more like people just want things easier and easier even when they've made it way easier then before.
