Deep dungeon - hmmm

[MaikoRaines]

New content comes out and people are disappointed.

Shocker...

Next time I am going to have a betting pool going on how many people will dislike/compare to/complain on what they would of done different/better/at all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irCpiVqtCP0 - This episode of The Simpson's describes it well enough...

Not everyone played 11. I am having fun with it.

Plenty of people who played XI LOVED Nyzul - I am definitely one of those people and am actually excited if that's the feel it gives off.

I do expect that the content gets a bit more complex later tho.

How's the exp in there? Is it comparable to just leveling a job in dungeons or considerably less?

You get some exp for the class you are playing as after beating 10 floors. :B
Wasn't enough to level my level 43 NIN. :B

[Kosmos992k]

pretty sure Nyzul Isle had a bigger purpose than just vanity and alt weapons.



correction, the first 50 floors are for the care bear crowd. They already said that this content has been deigned with much harder challenges in mind for the coming floors. Take that righteous casual fervor and check it plz.

Oh, so the content released is not for everyone? The statements about it being accessible are not there? Of course later floors will be harder, anyone who's ever played a dungeon crawler knows that, are you just trying to pick a fight? Even if floors 75-200 are harder, does thatnegate the accessibility of the other floors? Put your own fervor in neutral.

As far as 'easiness' is concerned in think SE is accommodating to the current player base and how they are going about is pretty good.
Most pple that play nowadays are those that prefer to abandon raid/trails after 3 or so wipes.
(something unthinkable during XI days)
So unless they have the luxury of a static, it would be hard to deal with a more 'challenging' deep dungeon from the get go.
(Im sure SE knows that not everyone can find a static as not everyone lives in the 'main' time zones)

If only they weren't lazy and actually created traps that you could dodge and avoid with skill. Like spikes coming from the floors. Maybe have some poison arrows shoot from the walls in a predictable pattern that the payers have to avoid. just finished floor 50 and all I can say is that this is a one time thing. its not worth doing over and over again. All you're doing is killing the same adds 9 floors and then a boss on the last floor. The last 10 floors was suicide because for some reason other players wanted to get all the treasures that caused wipes. in those chest were mostly traps. For some reason greedy players decided it would be better to explore everything and get all the chest even though it was pointless. We maybe got like a +3 upgrade to out armor and a +1 to weapons. healer is a must have and solo mode is a no go for the final part(unless you're a healer than you could maybe beat the last boss). we almost died on the 49th floor because one guy went to get the chest in the room next to the portal and pulled 2 adds with him while another add in the portal room spawned our only healer tried to keep up.

The map is random placed, but they are all the same looking rooms. Floors 31-50 was the same place (red version of Tam-Tara Deepcroft HM. Not sure if the locations are random)

overall is not really anything good I'd say its a step back from our story dungeons.

Gonna be running this with all characters to get all the weapons. Its fun, one slip up can cost you dearly - I love that challenge!

[Zhamkyong]

My Gf and I tried it and we love it. We are duo-ing the dungueon -SMN and BRD- and so far it has been an enjoyable experience.

I can understand why so many people dislike the new content, but for me it has been a good experience!

Its fun, one slip up can cost you dearly - I love that challenge!

I can relate with that.

It's nothing close to Nyzul, DD is simply boring and just another casual content got deprecated within few hours. Every content in FFXI was made for hardcore players and those who spent a large amount of time in the game per day.
