[New Player Feedback] There are way too many dungeons before Level 70

[HyoMinPark]

There are probably more than 20 dungeons i never touched at level 60 but my questlog is full with finish this and this and this and i have no idea what might be important for futured content and whatever. And since i'm playing a Damage Class it would take way too long to queue for all these dungeons and primals. I really hope Square will remove dungeons up to 60 at least that are not important for the Campaign with the next expansion, else it is simply too much for a new player.

Any dungeon that you do not encounter through the MSQ is an optional dungeon. Meaning, you don’t necessarily have to complete them; you don’t even have to touch the quest. The only time you would have to do them would be if you want to unlock the Roulettes (mainly 50/60 Roulette, 70 Roulette, and Expert Roulette). Roulettes will be your main source of tomestones once you reach level cap and one way you get end-game gear, so eventually I would recommend that you work on unlocking them. But you do not need to do that right now; you can wait and do that once you reach level 70 and have more free time.

The only primals you will need to complete for Heavensward/level 60 MSQ are the ones you meet through the main scenario; there are only 4 trials in Heavensward required to complete for the MSQ—if you are following any sidequests (mainly the sidequests involving the Warring Triad), then you can put them on hold for now, as the completion of those trials are only needed for Trial Roulette. HW did not do like ARR did in that you have to complete all of the primal trials in order to progress with the MSQ. If you are unlocking any Extremes, those are not needed either, so, again, they can be put on hold. If you have unlocked any of the Heavensward 8-man raid (Alexander), those are also optional, and only needed to unlock the Raid Roulette. So they can also wait for now. If you’ve tried to unlock Savage raids, those are also not needed for the MSQ.



A lot of those dungeons, trials, and the 8-man raid were introduced in the patches between expansions, meaning they were supposed to be pieces of content to keep the playerbase occupied until the next patch or until the next expansion. That’s why they are there. They are not there solely for the reason of bombarding you with an excess of quests. I’m explaining this to you, because I think you’re unaware of why they exist. That’s the only reason I can think of that would cause you to advocate for removing them. There are already a lot of complaints about how barren patches are feeling lately, so please do not make requests to remove more content. Even dungeons.

My suggestion to you would be to just focus on the MSQ. None of the optional content from level 60 are needed to access content in the Stormblood main scenario, so you will not run into any roadblocks. You will have plenty of time to go back and complete them, even with a DPS queue. If you would like a fast queue, then I would recommend making friends with a tank or healer, or leveling a tank or healer yourself. Tanks get virtually instant queues for most dungeons, and healers rarely wait much longer than a few minutes.
