    Suggestion for Canal's dungeon

    When you choose the wrong door, instead of automatically being ejected from the dungeon, how about making a very powerful boss and adds appear behind the players, which they must fight.

    If the players successfully kill the boss and adds, they get another chance at opening the correct door. But of course, the correct door has been randomized again so it's not clear which one is correct.

    If they open the wrong one again, an even more powerful boss can appear.

    This would be more thrilling than the anti-climactic forced exit from the dungeon.

    To be fair, it's just a rehash of Aquapolis from what I can tell. Just a new coat of paint. Aquapolis had something that if you picked the wrong door, there was a chance RNG might decide to take pity on you and let you through anyway. There were 2 chance at that. Once when the door first came slamming down, and the other when the alarum started sounding. Doesn't Lost Canals have something similar?

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    Lost Canal has something like that indeed, rainbow and all! - the odd glowing door showing you that its safe to open re-appeared aswell.

    That being said: No, thanks. I find it more thrilling this way - hoping for the rainbow to appear, but ultimately... you made the wrong choice and its over. I dont want to fight for a second chance and I feel it devalues the choice a bit.

    ...and seriously: me and my friends doing a tone of maps most of the time... after two hours we're almost praying to be kicked out - fighting trash mob really isnt fun enough to me to want more of that. Yes, not even for a pet-namazuo.

    It's an RNG fest by definition, anyone going in knows that. While the awards are expensive on the MB, you can ultimately buy them if you don't want to run the place for its nature. This isn't like ex mounts where you can't get them any other way...

    if there was a limit on the number of times you can enter the canals maybe, but since it's unlimited just gotta depend on RNGesus to get thru.
