Patch seems rather... small

[Kaurie]

Small or not, I am not quite sure. It is, however, rather disappointing so far. I've yet to do everything, but I have at least done/stepped into: MSQ, Sophia NM, Sophia EX, A9N, Wondrous Tails, and both new dungeons. Nothing has really been that good - there were a couple of points in the MSQ that were decent (Gu Ba), but overall meh. I reserve total judgement til I try it all (I hear A11 and A12 are good), but as it is, this patch is rating pretty low for me.

Guess this need to be dawned on people regarding dungeons. They aren't designed for you. By you I mean the person who has relic in hand ilvl 238 savage gear or what have you. The minimum ilvl for entry into these dungeons is like 210 meaning they are balanced around people being 210. They weren't supposed to challenge you they are meant to help newer players along the way to the current end game. it was the same in 2.0 as well.

You want these dungeons to be harder? Go put on some void ark gear and have at it.

You are right, the dev team intelligently designed this content around an ilvl of 210, following a patch where they were handing out 240 gear to everyone in a catch up patch.

Yoshi: The adjustments to the 2 new dungeons are already complete (note: this interview took place before TGS). Since the item levels are being refreshed, it may feel harder than the 3.3 dungeons at first. With the 3.3 dungeons, they were released when the item levels of players were already high, so it felt easier from the get go, but this time you'll be challenging it with a low item level and of course you'll be able to clear it, but we made it so you start to get what's going on as you go, and the clear times become faster and faster as your item level goes up. Please take careful steps on your first visit and go full-out.
Q. Is it risky to pull them all at the beginning?
A. I think it'll be dangerous (laughs) I'd prefer tanks to advance carefully.
