Path – Ausra
Party – Level 80 Ranger, Level 70 Necro, Level 63 Guardian, Level 52 Thief, Level 51 Engi.
Time Invested – 2.5 hours
Completed – No

Bug – Once inside the dungeon using Infiltrator’s arrow through the portal takes you into Beetle Tun but you’re still in the dungeon. You can run around Beetle Tun/Queensdale, but there are no people or npc’s

Bug – You can trigger 4 or 5 of the piles of asura junk from the main floor without even going into the basement.

I can see a few problems with the dungeons as a whole. First there are the nice hard core gamers that feel they are too easy and they are being run over and over. Second there is the casual gamer who only gets to play about 2 – 3 hours a night and is so frustrated at them that they never want to try them again.

We managed to complete up to and including Bloody Victoria. The rooms after her on your way to Frost are next to impossible. We tried to go around to the right and fight on the platform behind the large groups but there were 3 riflemen silvers that would kill us in 2 shots. We tried to go left next to the wall but again there were even more silvers and we didn’t even make it into the room. We tried to pull them back into the hallway’s but they never thinned out and it was just slaughter. So my suggestions would be as follows.

  • Make the dungeon so that a party of level 45’s or a mixed party (not all level 80 or mostly level 80) can complete it within 2 hours. Give us a chance, It isn’t right that we can only take 2 shots before we are dead. I don’t mind dying once and awhile, and I don’t mind a party wipe every now and then.
  • If the party isn’t made up of mostly level 80’s lower the repair cost or allow our armor to not be destroyed each time we die. I spent almost 20 silver last night and didn’t even complete the dungeon.
  • Make the dungeon harder based on how many level 80’s there are. But still not impossible. (Remember some of us only get a small amount of time to play each day.)
  • If the party is made up of mostly level 80’s then the armor being destroyed/repaired should be fine where it is.
  • If the hard core gamer really thinks these are that easy then remove your armor and or play with a weapon set that you’re not comfortable with and go with a group of non hard core gamers. That will make the dungeon much more challenging for you without punishing the rest of us.

Making the dungeons harder for them and then giving them better rewards (because that’s what they want) only makes it more miserable for those of use that would like to complete everything the game as to offer.
