Alpha First Look: Video 8 – Instanced Dungeons

[MikeBoston26]

Does anyone else think there are just too many flashing lights going on with each and every battle action? I could barely tell what was going on. I'm all for the eye candy, but this was seisure inducing. Maybe I'm just getting too old lol!

The dungeon environment looks very well and nicely put together. The fights seems xiv standard like before. I'm hoping for a bit more action and movement. The lancer tanking things is not a big deal to me seeing as how the mobs are low level. Can't wait for the full system to come out!

Aw they stopped at the battle... and they didn't show how the loot system worked...

Aren't those two things kinda important???

I think these videos are intended to be little teasers and not fully documenting the entire play experience. Honestly with all the changes that Beta will surely go through I can see them keeping the videos a little on the ambiguous side.

We already have a run around and kill stuff video though. But how are you not going to show the loot system, that's part of the experience that everyone looks forward to... sure skip the fight but show that, we already have like a billion threads on it.

This was the run around and kill stuff in an instance. Also it's Alpha and I suspect the full loot system probably isn't as shiny and sparkly as they want yet and didn't show it.

I do agree that when it is in a state of "good enough to show" they better damn well show it off since it is one of the things players and potential players want.

That doesn't make sense. THe battle system is admittedly undergoing a significant revision but they showed 3 different videos of the battle system There's no reason not to show the loot system

The whole game isn't as shiny and sparkly... Why show anything then? I'm so sick of all thes types of comments

Looks great! Huge improvement on what we had with 1.0 for these locations.

Also I am loving the WHM Staff, same style as the one used by Louisoix.

Its not uncommon or common.... its rare. I haven't played a single other MMO where there is a time limit the moment you enter the dungeon. There may be time limited events in some of them, but never a kick-you-out-of-dungeon limit.

How crappily small are ARR's raids going to be if they slap a 1hr limit on them all?
