    About variant dungeons...

    Not exactly the newest thing any more, but I just got around to trying these the past week. My partner and I have had a blast with them, but I didn't hear much about them outside of patch week. Are they popular? Do we think SE considers them a success? Would anyone else like to see more of them? Will we see more of them?

    Theyre fun, just waiting for them to add more dungeons and better rewards

    I like them, but I would like to see more value added to them. Right now there's little point in going through the effort of clearing the savage versions more than one time.

    See more of them? Yes.
    Popular? They were for the first week / couple of weeks, then popularity dropped like a dead seagull.
    That story is the story of all forms of group-based content in FF14.

    Really that's the story for all content they add that doesn't have some arbitrarily long grind attached to it (aka relic weapon steps)

    Except for POTD, that was extremely popular for like 2 straight years (South Shroud was full all day every day). But we know why, and nothing else can really hit that stride again I don't think.

    But not necessarily because POTD is good per say, but mainly because it is/was? the best way to level from like 15 to 60.

    For some kinds of people, yes. The thought of leveling in POTD, for me, is a quick yearning to uninstall, and play something, anything else. YMMV, of course. Different people like different things, and having choices is good, for the most part. (Keeping in mind that not all choices are either good or necessary, or good for the game as a whole.)

    Rolder already answered this but wanted to reiterate and add that yeah it was only popular because PoTD was arguably the best way to level jobs from 1-50, which was a big gap compared to say HnH or Bozja which only was good for 10-20 levels. So you saw more activity because that content was efficient for leveling, prolly not necessarily because people wholefully enjoyed it.

    My other point is that yeah I suppose the extra rewards you get such as minions, weapon glams and bardings were another thing that kept it going. Although the reality of that was due to the rewards being rng and I dont think many people enjoyed that either

    Right - That's why I said it's not really as popular because it's not the best way to level now. But wanted to at least say that it was very popular gimmick content for a long time. People will do things if it's beneficial AND fun. If the gimmick only has 1 of those, then it doesn't survive a week.
