Reaper.5698 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 If you have played FF14 you might have an idea of what I am talking about when I say this game could use a palace of the dead. WoW tried to incorporate this during shadowlands with Torghast with some success as well. I feel like dungeons have not aged well in the current game, and having a repeatable Potd/Torghast like dungeon grinder could be exciting. What do you think? Am I way off bases, or could this work? 3 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper.5698 Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) I think it could go up to 5 player party, but you could solo it if you wanted (scale difficulty). It could have long term rewards like achievements, mounts, skins, and title ext. maybe make a CM mode😉 Edited July 5, 2023 by Reaper.5698 Clarification 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Isn’t the tower confirmed to be an outpost - ie the SoTo hub equivalent of EoTN, Arborstone etc? “Two explorable zones and the Wizard’s Tower outpost, floating high above the Tyrian coast, will be available at launch. In the releases that will follow every few months, a third explorable zone will open in conjunction with the ongoing story that plays out.” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelin.9317 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 FFXIV palace of the dead, heaven on high and the newest eureka orthos are fantastic additions to the game. Long term content for glam, mounts and other goodies. As well as the goal of solo clearing. It's good fun with friends tho also. Something like that could be fun. Actually make people think about their skills and how best to use them since mobs are a real threat! I rather doubt it will ever happen, but we can dream. In the meantime I need to do four runs of eureka to get my new tiger mount. It's so pretty. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Haven't played either but when I hear repeatable 5 player dungeon grinder I think Fractals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ffxiv it is up to 4 man, but you can go solo. You get items from chests that have various affects. Such as turning all mobs on that floor to stone, turning you into a manticore, buffing your atk or defence. Other chests buff the armour and weapon level as these are separate from normal gear in this mode. You can go into palace very early in game, you do not need to be max level and it's a really nice way to level alt jobs actually. I can swap job and go in at level 1. There are hidden chests on floors you can find for loot, every 10 floors has a boss after it. Mobs have their own unique mechanics and get progressively more lethal as you go deeper into the dungeon. The title for soloing palace of the dead, necromancer, I believe is more rare than even some ultimate titles. The rarest loot from these dungeons are very expensive so it's hype to get them, but they don't feel nearly so elusive as things like infusions do in gw2. Oh and also if you wipe you start over from the beginning. So you can imagine the stress when you step on a lure trap that spawns a dozen angry mobs on you during a solo run when you are nearing the end of the dungeon. It's great! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Dragon.7268 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 i highly doubt it it will be a deep dungeon LMAO 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandrefalk.6823 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm hoping it's not a repeat of the Tower of Nightmares, but also that it won't be an open world zone where you hear "choo choo," before a large 111111-clicking zerg mows over everything... 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeliosMagi.9867 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 An equivalent to Deep Dungeons would be fantastic. Especially if they're designed to be possible to solo like they are in FFXIV, I've been craving challenging solo endgame content for a long time now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
