One dungeon per patch!?

Technically true, but it is something to be miffed about if he enjoyed the content they took away...

And that's ok. The issue is he's in a thread complaining about a decrease in dungeon content and then at the same time complaining about other content added that he feels is more of the same when dungeon is also more of the same. If he just prefers dungeon content, then that's all he has to say rather than try to take issues with how the other contents added are "same old stuff in new wrapping" when dungeon is exactly that.

Seems like someone don't want to read and just pulling sentences of of context. Don't worry, you will get your new garden stuff or a new game in golden saucer and be happy with it.

I don't even engage in those stuff. I actually prefer dungeon content and your argument is still nonsensical, in context.

>Saying that if they moving resources, they should do it to improve battle content we have and make something new, instead of making NON battle content from it.
>nonsensical
I dont think you're a very wise human being.

It all just depends on what we get in return. As long as its battle content in return for taking away the dungeon and not another jumping puzzle. I doubt whatever they put the resources aside for will be ready in 5.2

Likelyhood some of the content we have already gotten has been a product of removing a dungeons, which says good things because 5.1 was packed full.

Until they find a way to make dungeons interesting, I'm fine with having only 1 per patch, hopefully for story reasons.

Dungeons stopped being fun several years ago for me...and actually started being downright annoying by the first half of the last expansion.

I think a big part of that was them trying to fit in two completely different dungeons into a single patch which meant that the design had to suffer because of it.

The odd numbered patches (where they focused on just one dungeon) felt like they had more oomph in everything. Better designed areas, more to explore(albeit still on a line) and just a lot more character. When you get to the even numbered ones 4.4 with the Burn is the closest I can say we hit those odd numbered points but that's also just a desert. So it's pretty bare in what it is.

I think Grand Cosmos is a step in the right direction with more varied boss designs for fights, but dungeons themselves seem to be very hit and miss for people. I really like the last boss but many I talk to personally don't.

Since expa launch I've probably found a ShB dungeon twice, if that.

If they want to invest map makers and assets designers into places I'm going to see for more than 15 minutes, I'm down.

[grinkdaboy]

normally i advocate against less content but in this instance, i wouldn't really mind less dungeons since they don't add a whole lot to the game outside of padding roulettes. that said though i would hope each new dungeon going forward has a unique armor set and not just reskins

It's always so surreal coming to these forums and seeing people be just so anti-eureka when I and many others think it's been one of the best and most social content additions to this game. (I'm hoping that the more independent relic stuff to come just means "you don't need to do a fate to get the mats you need". Like really, just take the good and expand on it and don't make people have to do fates with others and boom).

Dngs are like the prefect example of expensive fluff content that takes resources away from the possible big meaty additions to the game.

Just out of curiosity, which are the big meaty additions you'd like to see more of, and what spares it the inefficiency of dungeon design (e.g. time spent on soundtracks, new enemy models, new maps, new terrain, new doodads, and arguably new gear models)?
