Upon reading the patch notes I set out to find some of the new DE’s and JP’s. I found the first JP in Fireheart Rise, and it wasn’t too challenging of a JP, but a pretty fun boss fight at the end. It had more to it then the typical dodge 2 attacks and dps it forever. I think they were technically only Vet mobs, but they were tough with 3 people because of the environment, etc. Definitely an improvement on boss fights. I got 3-4 Greens my level.

Next one I found was a DE chain that turned more into a Mini-Dungeon. It was in Dredgehaunt Cliffs. Theres a giant Dwarven door and from there you can figure out the rest. It was a fun little dungeon that took 2 of us maybe 30+mins to complete. It was more than just clear mobs, etc. I won’t ruin it for others, but it was basically more of a puzzle dungeon. Not only that, but it was divided into a chain of DE’s while in the dungeon, so you got some karma out of it. As far as the rewards I got 2-3 Greens my level and then a level 80 Rare upgrade component. So not too bad all n all compared to all blues that like to spawn.

Long Story short, go out and find these new DEs/Mini Dungeons/JP’s. It seems they’ve attempted to take some feedback and make them more entertaining. I think they’re doing a good job on it based on these 2 experiences.

Hi,
I am assuming these DE’s and whatnot are the Halloween event content that was added? Are these “instanced” DEs? Or open world DEs?

Need moar info!

Karma is as abundant as air, and as useless as the Kardashians.

I hope they add a lot more such things in the future and probably even update some old events or so to make them more appealing/difficult.
Furthermore it is always fun to get to access new territories you couldn’t reach before.
Looking forward to future contend updates and expansions.
God, I want to see all those lands you see on the map and can’t enter (yet). drool

They are new content that were just released at the same time as the hallooOooween event. In other words, they’ll stay. And yes they’re kind of instanced, but start in the normal map. It’s not a personal instance or group like a dungeon. You’ll see other ppl in there that are not in your group.
