Also Hunts seem more ignored as well and almost loses its worth when you have dungeons that give you reasonable gear to progress. Unless you want the original hunt gear (not the centurio stuff) because centurio seals don't have Hunt gear of its own you can buy, instead its the previous tome's gear.

    Maybe they'll add something next patch prior because they often catch onto these things after people take notice, besides people still do these things often just for the lore unless there's something else they're grinding them for. Not counting leves, not sure what they're doing with those...
    Yes it was HW, "going from 3 to 2 dungeons per patch so they can put resources to other types of content." Which we haven't really seen. Aquapolis is certainly not the creative equivalent of a 3rd dungeon. Nor was diadem. Deep dungeon could be, and is certainly different enough with what we've seen so far it's promising. The limitations they've placed on that, that we know of already, is gonna make that content a lot more dead in the water than it should be though. Talking about the 2 save slot limitation and forcing people into set statics for each of those slots.

    The problem with Diadem is that except for gathering classes it was invalidated too easily, which is why they plan to revisit and modify it. For all intents and purposes Aquapolis was a very successful piece of content that can be expanded upon, altered, and reused.

    When you look at Deep Dungeon, its leaderboards are going to be solo only. The save slot configuration aims more towards running with friends, while still having flexibility to que with other people running the system if you do not have a group of friends to run it. Could they have gone with more save slots? Sure, the real question is: How many? People would still complain about having 4 slots, or 8 slots, or even 16 slots for some.

    Aquapolis is actually doing well too. Its quick for rewards (or rejection) and is a neat party activity. Alot better with a group with a need-all rule, saves the "Mine!" mentality for the pugs I suppose. If they did update it, it'd be cool if they added some more diverse floors, or some sort of trial to reach a door before opening it besides a bombardment of enemies. I mean I can't stand the rng, but if they allowed you to choose a harder path that has, say, an 80% chance of success with some tougher enemies and platforms compared to the 50% chance door nearby with an average grouped mob, or a 20% door for those who are feeling extra lucky that has no mobs but after choosing it and succeeding you get bonus rewards the next round just for taking the risk, tat would be pretty neat and wouldn't feel so annoying sometimes like when you open the first door and it shuts on you (I felt so bad for my friend wen that happened but we all laughed in the end anyway, plus my portal never appeared XD) This wouldn't be so bad if they did it this way.

    Yeah this sounds about right. I already heard reviews of the Deep Dungeon so I'm guessing Legacy servers had first dibs or something, but why not us too if that's all your adding in this quick patch? I think at some point someone mention in forums that they didn't want us bombarded with content but I really don't see why that's a thing, especially since Deep Dungeon sounds more like the new type of content we were promised in Heavensward. I wouldn't hold it back anyway unless they were just testing it from the legacy servers. Still makes me wonder what they can add after Deep Dungeon is released, but if its done right we wouldn't have to think this way, or just me anyway : p
