I gave up trying to get a group going for Story-mode dungeons and I have done only one in which I felt compelled to skip the videos in order to have some impatient members of the group not rage quit.
Would it be possible to recreate the Story-mode version and turn them into Dynamic Event based scaling dungeons – what I mean by this is have the dungeons scale up in difficulty when more than one player enters as a group exactly as if doing an open world DE.
I would be perfectly fine if dungeons were hard for 1 person and easier for 5 because it would allow me to explore them. They could work basically as a fractal with multiple saving points from which you could begin again.
To me that would be proper story-mode – instead of the state the story mode is in now.
I attempted to do them solo, but the trash is really painful and fights are super long.
