I’ve yet to see a post that positively remarks about the new dungeon, and it’s rather odd. Look at the details, 9 fractal dungeons where your group faces 3 at random, with a giant boss in between. The dungeon actively remembers your level of play and increases the difficulty dynamically. It also scales with your level, giving level 80’s the greatest challenge while still being rough for lower lvls.

I just love the fact that in this MMOG you don’t have to hit level cap to enjoy some really challenging dungeons.I think 9 dungeons in one is an amazing idea that takes the 3-route explorable idea and jumps with it. Add to that the ‘fractal boss’ that only pops every other time you run the dungeons gives something to look forward to for those who really enjoy ‘working toward’ the toughest encounters.

So lets discuss this dungeon, how awesome it is going to be (or not, if you feel that way). Agony or Ascended gear aside for once.

Never ending dungeons is going to rock, truely. Because it satisfy those hardcore gamers who think everything is toooooo easy in game, while leaving other casual gamers to their own devices.

Just hoped that early dungeon instances should be easy for those on low leveled armor characters and/or people with dexterity issues XD

If it wasn’t for the gear, I would be really happy about this patch. I’d also continue to play the game. That aside, I’ve always liked the idea of an endless dungeon. Just sort of an iron-man challenge. See how far you can get, keep pushing yourself to get just a little further. It’s just a shame that they added the agony thing. I’d rather have seen even something as simple as an increase in HP, spawn frequency and spawn quantity. Ideally there would be new mechanics every X level too, to keep things interesting.

Hmmm, this remember the difficulty you left it at should reset once you leave the dungeon though, or have the option to reset the difficulty manually.

I also hope the WvW style level scaling will only be present in this dungeon for the duration of the weekend event ONLY ! afterwards it should be a pure lv80 dungeon.

I agree, I think it looks awesome. I also thing the gear tier is just fine, as I’ve been wanting exactly that — some bridge between exotics and legendaries.
