Variant & Criterion Dungeons

I can't say i'm impressed by the rewards, and i don't know why people called this the m+ equivalent of FF. Probably a one off kind of thing unless you really want the stupid chair mount.

Then why it is not synced fixed ilvl like unreal then? Why it has to be 635 ilvl max then if it gives no rewards?

Huh? Whats gear drops have to do with the ilv sync down?

[Oizen]

Eh it seems okay but so far its just a regular dungeon with more fluff and arbitrary walls keeping from wall to wall pulling

[Deveryn]

Look for this to be included in a relic stage.

I hate how the puzzles can be fucked up by someone else, three times now I've wasted like 20 minutes going through the left path because I need entry no.1 but DF people keep failing the puzzle for the teleporter even after I specifically ask them to not touch the sacks

Just finished my first two runs of the dungeon and I have to say I'm enjoying it so far, though the bosses are a rather drawn-out affair for something you're supposed to run multiple times.

Still, I'm intrigued by the idea of piecing a mystery together over multiple runs, and it's certainly the first time I've had reason to consult my lorebook to solve a dungeon puzzle! (I'm sure there was an in-game clue to look for as well, and/or I'm going to take all the paths sooner or later, but whatever. I have the nerdy solution route and I'm not afraid to use it!)

And really, I've missed the feeling of fighting bosses alone and figuring out how to dodge things. I know it's not that different to some other solo content here, but it feels different somehow. Puts me more in the mind of playing Zelda or something.

The surrounding setup seems a bit convoluted though – it seems like we could have just gone straight to visit Nanamo in her chambers instead of fussing about with assistants and disguises and having secret conversations in the middle of the street.

And rewards are totally underwhelming, especially if you don't like the one "noir" coat and hat and don't want yet another pair of short plain gloves, plain belted trousers and lace-up shoes. It's really getting excessive at the moment with those, and it looks like we're about to get another lot for All Saints' Wake on top of this, the Enforcer set half-a-patch ago and the Appointed set before that. And the Frontier and Varsity men's outfits not long before. Glamour gear is supposed to be about giving us variety.

The decoration style seen in the Sil'dihn palace ruins looks lovely, and it feels like a huge missed opportunity to not give us something themed after that. Or at absolute least sell some other gear repeated from elsewhere and not just the one glamour set.

(There's also an earring and the emote, but I can't ever see earrings in combination with my character's hairstyle, and haven't tried the emote yet. Still very limited excitement compared to new glamour or better access to other ones.)

I hate how the puzzles can be f'ed up by someone else, three times now I've wasted like 20 minutes going through the left path because I need entry no.1 but DF people keep failing the puzzle for the teleporter even after I specifically ask them to not touch the sacks

Run it solo. It's pretty straightforward – Rampart for shield and Cure for regen will get you through. Might be slower per run (I haven't compared, plus had learning curve) but it's going to save you time overall.

It's ridiculous -I've been cycling the same 3 pairs of trousers for like 3 years at this point D:
