What do you think of speed running dungeons.

[Kosmos992k]

how does "many players who prefer speed runs" become "speed runs should never be the expectation"? you should expect both things to be possible especially if you're neither the tank nor the healer because they are the ones that set the expectation.

you have to prove your side to be the supermajority position if you want to tell the minority to stick to Party Finder.

You have to prove your side to be the supermajority position if you want to force speed runs in Duty Finder. The best you can say would be that the majority of official forum users agree with you. But; a) I am not sure they do, and b) Official forum users are a small, self selecting fraction of the playerbase, and so are not representative.

I'm pretty sure all you have to do is be a tank and then bring a friend for security reasons. Granted, if the DPS and / or healer are wheelie bins, you might not get very far.

Maybe super turbo pulls aren't the norm, but single pack donks aren't either.

I did forget that playing this game is like a household chore for some people.

That's a super spicy take.

When you do the same dungeons several times a week, every week, they do begin to feel like a chore. Wanting to get them over with as quickly as possible so you can pursue the fun stuff in the game isn't entirely unreasonable.

People keep talking about how dungeons are boring and speed-running them gets it over with as quickly as possible, but to me, it's not about getting it over with asap so I can go back to doing something else; it's about displaying complete and utter mastery of the content and the class I came in on.

People talk about how boring this stuff is, but at the same time, doesn't clearing something super fast give you a little thrill of "yeah, I'm awesome!"?

only the first time? once you know you can do it you know the only reason you can't is because of the other people.

until the next day when you are subjected to the disappointment of a 25-minute+ Ala Mhigo.

I think they cancel each other out. You have a great run, you feel great, you have a crap run, you feel dejected.

Earlier today I pugged ex with a nin who kept stopping and only autoattacking, and then later I ran with my FC who demolished the ex dungeon. Overall I feel like I was let down by the first group, rather than experiencing something special with the fc.

I really don't find dungeons all that boring though, unless they're going one pack at a time and doing readychecks and countdowns at every pack and boss.

Eh...

It's not just up to me whether or not things are cleared quickly. At the moment, I am playing healer pretty much exclusively, so the amount of DPS I can throw out is contingent upon how well the tank uses cool downs / mitigates damage, and the DPS' propensity to not stand in stupid.

When things jive together super well though, it feels pretty cool - until the next day when you are subjected to the disappointment of a 25-minute+ Ala Mhigo.

This triggers me so hard.
