The Aurum Vale

Even though I absolutely hate AV myself, I'm extremely glad that many people have shown up that like/love AV, and came to show it. It proves the point I was trying to make in the last few pages versus the OP and someone else.... Either ways, compliments to all of you who managed to keep it civil, even though the OP was abrasive, obnoxious, and obviously trying to start a fire.

As the "someone else" in this comment, I truly thank you for the civil conversation about AV the dungeon.

I realize, I have not actually stated my personal opinion on AV yet, here it is for the record, "Meh! It is harder than most levelling dungeons and any run can go to hell pretty quickly when people make mistakes. But there is nothing functionally wrong with it."

I ask the following question, "Since, you hate AV. What would you like to see changed about it to improve your experience in AV?"

I ask the following question, "Since, you hate AV. What would you like to see changed about it to improve your experience in AV?"

What makes me despise the dungeon is related to visibility issues during progress and lack of visual appeal to me. Changes that could better this would probably interfere with monster models/sizes and room sizes, and perhaps even with theme. Which would obviously mess with things that are part of the thematic that many people love.

So my answer to "Since I hate AV, what would I change?" is very simple. Nothing.

Let the people who enjoy it as is, enjoy it thoroughly just as I enjoy the dungeons that I enjoy I'll be perfectly fine praying not to get it in a roulette, and in the odd times I do get it, I'll do my best to come through in whatever role I bring to make sure me and my group finish it successfully so we can all grab what we individually came for (be it the roulette rewards, xp, MSQ completion or even loot) and be done with it with no unnecessary hassle or confrontation :P

That's what I've been doing up until now and I'm fine with it :P
