How are Dungeons meant to be played?

Sometimes I wonder if the developers actually played this game.

Of course they played the game; are you trolling, or do you seriously believe that the developers of a game can go for many, many months and years without playing it?

Here’s an interesting thought; this game uses a rather interesting, new and unique dynamic (in my experience, at least): the lack of the Holy Trinity. You know what’s interesting about new things? Almost nobody is good at them first off, unless you’re a whiz (beta aside). Try actually sticking with it. Try actually saying ‘well that sucked’ and working out what went wrong, and then do something new. Try and come to terms with the fact that new things are HARD, and not everything in the world can be understood in a single try of its more difficult components (dungeons, in this case). Try realising that actual skill is the product of practice. Lots and lots of practice. Natural talent is something that people have to work really hard for (yes, that is a joke, and I hope you get the point).

If you are lucky and have a team you can chat to over vent, work out builds and combos to use. Work out means of mitigating the damage that kills you. Make sure target priority is understood, and so on and so forth. Don’t go in and expect things to get mowed down. And then, in case things don’t work out, DON’T go and complain that it’s too hard and abandon it. If, in two months or three months or however long, you still can’t beat whatever is stonewalling you? Then say it’s too hard. At that point you might be justified.

What are you doing to level up?

Do everything

Every zone has a massive number of things you can do to level, and you can do all/some of them, whatever takes your fancy. I’m a sucker for that lovely chest of goodies you get when completing a zone, so I 100% zones. That said, you can do otherwise and have just as much fun.
