Petition to keep non-instanced dungeons.

[Demacia]

Signed. Non-instanced dungeons like Pso'Xja or Promyvions in FFXI were great. We already have instanced raids, which are dungeon-like to begin with.

People need to stop looking at long indoor combat areas like their ONLY purpose is "Blow through mobs, kill boss, get treasure chest loot".

I like both, instanced for when the devs want to challenge a party and open world for most everything else. There is no reason we shouldn't be able to have lots of both types of content.

There should be rare spawn open world NM's for those who want to do that. I'm even ok with a system (pop-items or timers or such) making it so people have to take turns for claim on some of them. However there should be the whole range of opportunities from the cutthroat competitive stuff to 4 buddies enter an instance and have the place to themselves.

If the game is too heavily instanced then it will no longer be a proper MMO in my mind.

I like both, but after years and years in EQOA I grew to really enjoy the open world raids that I felt were done well. I am not against instances by any means. Either way I like and want raids that can require multiple groups. I love 20-40 man raids. I thought tht darkhold was a decent dungeon for an instance myself. Some may disagree. I like the free roaming NMs (need more big tough ones). I am so/so with the strongholds, just my opinion. All in all I think a mix of all of the above is great, but old school MMO guy in me likes open world and lots of it.

Someone brought it up again, so it looks like the discussion is back on.

[Rokien]

Ya, I'm still waiting on a dev post on this big issue we are having. It really seems like, Y-P just played it off like, "Ya, no biggy, you guys have STRONGHOLDS, sooo it's all good dawg". I just hope someone brings this concern to yoshi, and we will get a response sooner or later (sooner is better). I also hope that getting it to 200 likes will bring it some attention to the devs.

This is what this thread is about >.>; having both.

[OMEGA_HACK]

I just want to say this to the people who are complaining about boss/NM stealing in this game:

More than 90% of the current NMs have a 3-5min respawn and all have decent drop rates...seriously, they repop so quickly its an absurd argument.

[Rokien]

Yes, that is a very good point.

I'm bumping this because I think it's a big deal.

Also adding more instances strengthens the cause of adding a content finder.

Only to you !! /sarcasm

And yes it does
