I honestly dont remember, but I got an untradeable crystal from somewhere in dernal jungle but I'm almost confident it was alter of santification. He dropped 2 legendaries one of being a helm and another is the crystal and I was surprised to find out it was untradeable.

 

There's also no helmets in the altar drop pool- he can drop a bracelet, a leggings, and a spear, and the leggings are Lv 70, not Lv 69. I think you're misremembering.

 

You can't possibly believe that running around in circles hundreds of times, avoiding any possible challenge the world offers (unless you're in the SE, SE lootrunning is a little better) in the hopes, the HOPES of getting a purple (magenta, idk, they should change them to red) item which instantly makes you rich is where the endgame should be. Mythics are neat and all, but they aren't an endgame for most players. Dungeons always should have been the endgame content, they're just so bad for the most part and they got ignored for so long that I guess some people gave up on them, but if you look to literally any popular MMORPG what we could call dungeons (raids in D2, raids in WOW, Dungeons in Maplestory, Raids in OSRS and RS3) are the endgame (with some exceptions where PVP is the real endgame).

That being said, if you look at those games and compare them to Wynn, it's fairly obvious that the dungeons in Wynn suck for the most part. There's really just one good boss (The eye, which to its credit is actually awesome unless you're playing mage) and one good dungeon in general (FF, which I know is a hot take). Dungeons are wayyyy too short, are all always the same, don't reward players for being good at parkour or being fast, don't reward players for doing gathering skills (possibly shortcuts or something, idk) and just don't reward players in any meaningful way at all. If the game worked how it probably should, people should be chilling at EO looking for parties of 3-4 to run it, not because they need to to beat it, but to get the most rewards. Because the gear system and rewards in this game are so busted, there's literally no reason to.

All that said, this little thing isn't going to fix dungeons at all. Dungeons really need to be 3-4 times longer each (for the most part), have a group mode and a solo version (less rewards for running alone, easier and shorter), be more related to the quests they come from (EO really needs a slime climb section and an elytra section, it's actually mind boggeling that EO is just combat and a way too easy (now) parkour room) give way more stuff each, keys should be much rarer and the whole token thing is just really, really dumb. Writing all that out, I can actually understand where you're coming, dungeons are so underdeveloped and pointless right now they barely count as playing the game in their current state and just fill up bankspace with useless tokens and keys.

I guess my point is I think there's potential with them and it isn't fair to outright dismiss the most promising part of the game in favor of something which realistically shouldn't even be a feature in the first place, at least not to the extent which it is now.

 

The two golems in the room look like the Lad, maybe a boss fight/quest/dungeon related to them?

 

Even if I can manage to get the percentage of getting a mythic from that dungeon chest up to 100% I still won't get one.

Also, I may be an idiot. But what is a token?

 

You use tokens to buy items at a Dungeon Merchant

 

Dammit I knew I was an idiot.

 

You're not an idiot, you just misremembered

 

Warrior buff/rework when!

 

Looks really sweet!

 

You're gonna look very foolish when it turns out they've moved Elkurn right on top of the gavel bridge.

But seriously, yeah, you're probably right. I just saw everyone else saying it was Elkurn and assumed my initial thoughts were correct.

 

aledar becomes a world fixture and if you find him enough times you get a free dawnbreak

 

The new little town, is it between Detlas and Nivla Forest where now is just a bridge?

 

okay but can y'all please go more into depth on this 'difficulty scaling'? what happens exactly if a level 100 player scampers into a dungeon im running on like a level 70 mage? do I just die from the mobs suddenly jumping in level and power? this sounds like a very bad idea from what I'm hearing so far

 

Super excited for 1.20!​

 

personally I like running dungeons rather than loot running so maybe that is great for me

but I guess you guys should buff key guardians spawn chance instead of allowing 1 key = 4 people, since some people also likes running them solo

 

Uh then just run it solo? Nothing in this new feature is stopping you from doing what you already do, its just a win-more solution.

 

if the void is getting a rework then the realm of light has a chance
please do it

also the pictured town is either Bucie or Elkurn. I'm hoping it's Bucie because damn that place sucks right now

I really like the idea of getting special items for dungeon runs because it means that I finally have a chance to get a mythic item

 

Boy.

It's neither.
