Hey there. I just have a few things to say about the dungeon changes after playing for around 100 something hours this season so far.
The good
Portal Charms. Absolutely amazing addition and needed imo. A lot easier and faster to farm bosses for their items and the dungeons rewards.
The…not exactly bad but just…pointless?
The dungeons themselves? I for one feel absolutely no need to run dungeons anymore since their greatest rewards can be reached through the charms. If I see myself running out of charms ,which so far never happened, I would simply try and do a few echoes to get the charm instead of going through the dungeon itself. This means that I have also never used the Scale Charm this entire season. I mean it. Not even out of curiosity because I do not want to run through the dungeon.
Temporal Sanctum is the dungeon which is most needed for its reward and that is the one I have been in the most but again with the charms.
Lightless Arbor I only used the gold sink once because I am a hoarder and I currently have 60 stash tabs filled mostly with legendaries that have good rolls but I need like 100 conquered tower woven echoes for them and other tier 6/7 items. Anyway that is just me and maybe many of you use the gold sink but I do not since I am scared I will run out of gold for stash tabs.
Soulfire Bastion…no reason to do any of it unless I really want some item the boss drops and even then I have the option to put points in the woven tree where you can have random monsters from a dungeon and have a chance to drop the boss items which applies to all the dungeon bosses. Of course it is a lot less efficient and such but the option is there.
I feel like running through the dungeon has no meaning. There is nothing cool or great happening there for me. I know you can get the specific item drops when you go through a door from a floor to another but…I could not care less especially as a CoF player.
In my opinion dungeons need some improvement still or something added to them to give me a real reason I go through those two floors before fighting what I really want which is the boss for its rewards or making a legendary item. I do not care about the gold sink and I do not want to spend my time on collecting souls to use at a gambler which is the same as running a few echoes. Maybe that is changed and I am wrong I have no clue since…I do not run Soulfire Bastion.
Now I did not think of some solutions for my said issues with them for the moment. This is just my honest feedback on this specific part of the game. I still enjoy the rest of it but whenever I go to do my 20th Lightless Arbor trying to get that 3 lp peak of the mountain I just wonder…why is there a dungeon in the first place and not just a boss fight. I am sure this will be improved in the future…or maybe not and I am just the only crazy guy who thinks like that about them.
Anyway that is all. Thanks for reading.
