The Aurum Vale

[Yob_i]

I freaking love AV, the issue is people actually have to pay attention during bosses and since it's "Low lvl content" it's not worthy of their time, ignore it and grab the next guy that joins or reque! If you're dps I wish you hope, I do hate dazmael darkhold though those freaking frogs

I like Aurum Vale. It is a fairly challenging dungeon (I really like the second boss fight). I also like to help people as tank, healer, and dps often on 4-man dungeons often so it's a win/win for me and my comrades no matter how you cut the cake.

I love AV . A friend of mine called it the first healer test .
You have to pay a bit of attention in it.

I love AV so long as the tank isn't brand-spanking new to the tanking role. Every new tank I get in there overpulls and won't eat the fruit when I tell them to.

Otherwise it's fun to heal.

Now, in all seriousness, I really prefer AV over the snoozefest that is Dzemael Darkhold or the thousand yawns of total nap (and for the record, I have never left any of those dungeons right on the start, even though I hate playing through them). The only real challenge is the first room, and if you are a tank that knows his stuff, its smooth sailing. So I really hope no one changes this dungeon :>.

As for the OP, and I dont mean this in a bad way, but one should always consider that when queueing up for a roulette, you might get a dungeon you dont like. The thing is, you get a reward for doing so, like those shiny little clusters you can turn in for materia. I understand wanting to play for fun, but you should also be considerate of the other 3 people in the dungeon. Especially DPS players wait forever to get a dungeon pop, least anyone can do is give the dungeon and their team a chance. Just leaving at the start is rather selfish if you ask me. There is fun to be found in any instance.

What is this meme? Why do people hate the Aurum Vale? Its literally like every single dungeon in the game. The first room is mildly annoying at best because the wandering mobs and join the fight and it can get overwhelming, but that's pretty minor when the rest of the dungeon is fine, I find it miles better than Totorak, at least AV doesn't slow you down with pointless green sludge.
The level sync is awkward but again, all levelling dungeons add a level sync so what is the problem?

Well you just described why its not like every single dgn in the game. Patrols, ranged mobs mixed with melee, toxic floor, all of that on the first area. Its not like all of these things get broken up per map section. So for the unsuspecting party, they can get caught off guard. The usual gameplay where you just grab mobs and kill then proceed to the next pack safely doesn't apply well but that's what get most parties killed because that's what they're used to.

Aurum Vale is not hard if the party takes their time and just go outside their usual parameters a little bit. The tank can doesn't need to play immovable fortress when it aggroes a pack. He can move it to a place outisde the patrol range. Those who play ranged dps need to be aware that being far from the aggroed pack doesn't mean they're safe and should position accordingly. Healers will unfortunately have to heal more than dps in the dgn.

Really, its the first part of aurum vale that gets people to ragequit. Once you're out of that place, the whole thing becomes much easier. Now, as for our resident troll...

There's nothing to be said that the others haven't said yet except this: Quit the game. I think you're legitly the first person on the forums I've said this. You misinform people. You cry like an entitled child. You haven't posted a single coherent idea or thought to improve the game and when you complain about something, you don't provide anything factual or even something objective to support it. Your cries for attention has made anyone who's read them dumber for it. I award you no likes and may whatever gods you believe in have mercy on your soul.

Ok, you want me to play a dungeon and not have fun but be miserable? I pay for this game why should I be miserable while doing so?

Is your $15/month worth more than their $45/month? :thinking:

Your time and enjoyment does not trump the time and enjoyment of other players. You being a mentor makes what you did even worse. You’re supposed to help players, not act selfishly. Shame on you.

Aurum Vale is actually one of the few dungeons worth doing. The other dungs are all for crybabies that get their feelings hurt just by someone staring at them

[Kahnom]

Aurum Vale need players to pay attention and understand their own status bar which some of new players didn’t even know it exists until this dungeon.
Hell some newbies thought the poison stacks for 1st and last bosses are damage buffed ....
