Afterthoughts:Level Capped Dungeons

[Kosmos992k]

Thats what I meant I think my wording was off with that sentence. Pre nerf they were great dungeons, people may not agree but I loved them. Now dungeons are bland and uninteresting. The only thing trash pulls offer now are gates that block you from doing full speed runs.

Agreed. Sadly my first experience of Pharos Sirius (pre nerf)included a DPS who swore he knew the mechanics and had done it before. We wiped to the first Boss so many times, my wife (our healer) almost quit from frustration. Instead of playing themechanics, or listening to the tank(me), our know it all dps proceeded to dps the hell out of the boss, and bitched at our healer for not healing. She was too busy running from the adds, after numerous wipes we somehow got through. This was long before any real overgearing was involved, there was no way to burn the boss,you had to play the adds. Similar fail on the next boss - failed mechanics and can't burn the boss, and the fool ran ahead to drag trash packs to us on the stairs..not the safe landings. I never ran another dungeon with that person again... LOL

The thing was, depsite that, it was still fun, because it was not brain dead easy.

Yep exactly people tend to skip or try to skip whatever they can but sometimes it just doesnt work and now we no longer have things like that in dungeon. :/ I feel like if they added these places to the open world as an optional thing it would make it a little more interesting. Leave the easy speed run no brain tactics to the Duty Finder and add puzzles and unique gating to the open world versions.
