Only two new expert dungeons every patch?

Hunts can barely be considered fun or engaging content, they're forced on us to gear for what seems like no reason, and they bring hate into the community for "pulling early" as they say. Want to cut content? Start with hunts. Could quite easily replace them with incredibly large scale FATEs , or world bosses that are actually epic, similar to Guild Wars 2 (after PS3 support is cut), and Frontlines isn't PvE content. As for the rest, I agree, it's all excellent content, but not enough to keep someone engaged for 3-4 months unless they're raiding savage. We'll have to see what this exploration thing is, but if it isn't restricted to FCs and we can form linkshells to do 'em, or join FCs that need more members, I'm all for it!

With all the posts with people asking for some diversity in the content, and not to be a higher level re-skin of 2.0, it's very nice to see that they are listening and developing new things as well.

This.

This is an instance of people never being satisfied with anything. People complain that new content is "just the same with different skins", and then when they say they're going to be doing something different, people still complain.

See what happens...players cry out for different types of content instead of thr same rehashed ARR content....and then complain when they have to cut development in one area to allow for it.

As long as they are fun and not as dreadful as fractal continuum and neverreap, i don't care.

I thought Fractal is quite fun. Doesn't have constant stops in fights like Neverreap does.

I'm siding with Mr. Happy on this: don't take the old dungeons out of Expert roulette. Nothing kills my desire to farm esoterics more than running only two dungeons.

Considering High Level Roulette is now populated with level 50 dungeons, this would be a viable alternative. It would bring a lot more variety than just 3 dungeons, even if some of them are older.

It be better if they just kept adding new expert duty's to the roulette instead of getting rid of the old ones.

don't take the old dungeons out of Expert roulette.

>_> I was actually just thinking about that the other day. Sure, it'd still be running a few of the same dungeons, but there'd be more options in what you get from expert if they'd keep the dungeons in it, rather than moving them to high lvl.

For instance, they could add 2 more dungeons to expert, while keeping neverreap and fractal, but either tossing that gear somewhere else and putting a higher ilvl gear into those (while having that same gear drop from the 2 new ones) and also increasing the difficulty a little so it matches the 2 new ones (so you don't get those people dropping out because they didn't get the lower ilvl one). Tbh, they could give those amber things from leves a use. New dungeons come out? Old expert dungeon gear goes to that npc. It really shouldn't be that difficult to do, but then again, this is SE

Also, think about it. If they shoved Neverreap and Fractal into high lvl, that could end up locking high lvl for people who aren't 60, seeing as how every time they've added new trials and such, you've had to do them to reunlock the roulette.

It already sux that I get a 50% chance to have a terrible dungeon atm ( hi nevereap...) but I thought that was just a thing for the expansion. In previous patches usually 2 of the 3 expert dungeons were fun and enjoyable and had only 1 sucky dungeon ( hi snowcloak...)

Idk if I trust SE with how they are going about things....not like it matters lol. If they could just make both dungeons traditional like fractal and not annoying as crap like nevereap 1st/2nd boss, i'll be happy. Really they should have a word with whoever came up with nevereap 1st boss =_=

No argument there, hunts are terrible. But still, the game is not lacking in "Casual" gameplay content. You have all of Golden Saucer, Fates, Dungeons and everything is designed for casual gamers. Contrary to what you say, raiding savage is not content. It's repeating content that has walls everywhere. If anything, the hardcore crowd is the most disappointed with everything in FFXIV as the entire game is catered to casual players and newbies to MMOs.
