Variant & Criterion Dungeons

[Iscah]

Seven runs in and I have had quite enough of Geryon and his exploding barrels. If they're going to do this gimmick with "one boss, variable skillset" then I think they need to lean ito it more and not just make it something you see once or twice in the fight.

Perhaps there could be some kind of stacking buff for solo players that keeps track of how many times you've been through the dungeon, and makes the bosses slightly weaker? I'd like to solve it all on my own but I hope I don't reach a point where I need to trial-and-error things and do the boss again every time.

You shouldn't have to do that much trial and error, aside from where left / right choices are made and learning certain things to do or avoid. If you ask the right person about what's missing, they can probably give a good hint. As was suggested above, you can also put a step number in PF and folks should respect it.

Ive done it a few times with random DF groups, still judging it so no opinion yet.

As of now I think this new thing could be a dying event since the rewards really do suck but that is something that can be patched in or even rotated to keep it relevant and fresh. I did it 3 times and got my one emote ( I'm a sucker for emotes even though I'll likely never use this one ) and I'm personally done with it...but if they add to it I'll absolutely be back for more.

I guess my final verdict is...it has potential and I hope they do something with that potential.

The style of the glam reward got me thinking about map dungeons and how that gets updated every so often over the course of an expansion. It would be great if they updated these as well, so we have more variety for getting these kinds of items.

I did it once to see if I liked it then ended up buying the emote off the market board

It should 100% have given rewards to be concurrent content to savage raids so you could just do the hard 4 man content. Instead it forces you to get savage gear which is just silly. Saying "oh they told us it'd be like this" doesn't make it any better

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Maybe they will add gear rewards to mirror the ‘catch up gear’ in 6.35 ala Bozjan set in 5.35? But that’s just a wild guess.

Seems to me they're pulling a "Palace of the Dead" here where the rewards are lackluster because it's more for bragging rights type stuff, like getting to Floor 200.

POTD served other purposes though. It gave good exp to level alts quickly and you could actually get a decent weapon out of it at the time.
