no more hard dungeons

On the one hand, this could mean the development of other interesting content. On the other hand, this might mean Expert roulette might just be two dungeons moving forward.

I hope there is no separate level 80 dungeon roulette this expansion and they keep all level 80 dungeons as part of Expert roulette.

Feel like we have to have had a hard dungeon to begin with in order to say we are getting no more.

Hard dungeon is the actual term in FFXIV for dungeons that take place in the same location as a previous dungeon.

Well whos fault is it that we have to spend so much time leveling the trusts ? I didn't ask for all that extra work, alone, for days, falling asleep cause it's so boring. Not to mention all the time spent having to do this fate leveling thing.
Recently I've been spending all my time gathering, crafting, for the firmament. So much solo content so little time.... maybe I'll see people again after next summer.

If they plan on doing this, I feel they really should not take older level 80 dungeons out of the roulette. Nobody wants roulette to be 1/2 dungeons only.

The second dungeon won't be missed.

a mythic plus dungeons system would be good

Thats what we thought when they went from 3 dungeons to 2 and that never happened.

Last expansion they did two dungeons for even(?) patches and cut back to one dungeon on odd patches in order to devote more resources to the Ultimate raids... so I can only hope that whatever resources they're freeing up from this will be going to bigger and better things (I myself have a stupid hope that it'll go to finishing the Viera and Hrothgar though it's likely not the case). IDK, it just seems that we're getting less and less content during this expansion. RIP my dreams of seeing a Shisui or Bardam's Mettle Hard Mode.
Oh well, I'll be okay with it as long as the gear sets that drop aren't recycled from older gear.

in order to devote more resources to some real endgame content they need to get rid of blue mage, bard performance and pvp content, nobody gives a damn about those things

[Fynlar]

Of course we're getting less. Again. It's the pattern established by HW, SB, and now SB2.

I'd wager trusts are to blame. Coding the NPC's to be able to react to mechanics probably takes up a chunk of development time, to say nothing of what is already spent on environment design, music and enemy models.

We've been getting a steady decrease in the rate of dungeons per patch with every expansion, before the trust system even existed. I assure you that this would have continued to be true even without the trust system.

Actually I care about PvP content.
I want it to be better, and I want more rewards.
