Please stop with the gimmicky dungeons.

They are just flat out not fun. Every one of them are long tedious mazes with nothing but spam missile attacks and every type of monster that is meant to make it harder. Like putting nothing but poison, slamming trees in a 20 foot circle at Lightless Arbor.

Come on guys, these aren't hard, they are just mechanically awful and none of them are like any other part of the game. You don't need this extra D key mechanic that makes everything that much more stressful. I dont even do them anymore. 3 long mazes and a boss that one shots lol. No thx! at level 96 its become one hell of a tedious chore and its extremely lame that you put a major part of the game to upgrade items behind them.

No.

Just because you suck at doing them they should not be removed.

Ah. Kind of like your reading comprehension. Im 96. I have done plenty. So wrong. I did not say they should be removed, also wrong. Anything else you want to make up to feel better about yourself?

[ManyEagles]

I'd definitely like a better way to get keys.

I must agree with you that the current dungeons aren't very fun to do. They are all very tedious maze-like layouts which you feel obligated to fully clear to get all of your exalted drops. I have zero problem doing them, but it's much less fun monoliths.

The dungeon bosses are fine, though. The game needs SOME challenge, right? If you're struggling: take off all of your DPS gear and fight the boss at a lower tier that won't 1-shot you, and practice dodging the mechanics.

Perhaps it will give you a bit of insight.

I wouldn't say they are necessarily difficult but they are bland/boring after a while. The reward at the end makes the dungeon worthwhile, which is only true for Temporal Sanctum and maybe Lightless Arbor if you like screens of random loot.

100% agree, the dungeons are boring and random 1 shot mechanics that encompass 75% of the arena are stupid. The difficulty spikes in this game are some of the worst game design I have ever witnessed. It goes from being ridiculously easy with absolutely no chance of death, to literally getting 1 shot by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanic. The game is bland in its current state.

Its often referred to as Schrodingers health bar, over on the official forums. Welcome to "balance" by mechanics.

Yeah I agree about the gimmicks, really don't care for those. I like the modifier mechanic when going to the next level. If I were them I'd just focus on that. Not a fan of upgrading being behind a dungeon, but if they weren't gimmicky it would be tolerable.

[lorxy]

Agree.

[Nilton Espingardinha]

No no ...hes actually right.

Dungeons are dull and not fun @ all. Packs of 3 or 4 mobs spawning each 2 or 3 rooms for a game where u basically craft your character to obliterate hordes of monters...

You actually have to remodel these dungeons coz this content is really boring and the fact that YOU NEED TO COMPLETE IT is absurdly annoying.

[StormSaber]

The gimmicks are fine imo. The problem with them is that the levels are huge and filled with nothing but easy enemies. They would be better if they added some unique mini bosses you encounter on your way, either in side areas or blocking your path. Also unique treasures or something so it's actually worth exploring the maps. Grim Dawn does this pretty well. Aside from all sorts of mini bosses, each dungeon has its own "kill room" too.
