About 400 hours and as fun as this game is...

If you want to know what I love, go to the end.
I hit a gigantic brick wall, known as trying to single player an MMO.
As fun as this game is, you need a team to play with.
There is only so much you can get through single player or playing solo.
I made two level 60s.
My GWF I had great luck finding a group of people to run Dungeons with, but we mainly did a bunch of dungeons one day and they don't play this game any more.
2nd Char is a Rogue- where my stats came from PVP, in a week, I've only been able to run 1 dungeon, because I didn't get kicked.
This is purely for XBOX, so yeah.
I've gotten lucky by playing as much as I have. Fortunately/Unfortunately I can play this game all day and in my Experience, I can breakdown my playtime.
25%-Running around to the areas or picking stuff up in the enclave, unlike
25%- getting kicked from dungeons, waiting to queue, or 4v5 PVP matches.
50%- PLAYING! Campaign, pvp, dragons, and other stufff... buuuut
---35% of my playing time, is laggy, droped frames, freezing mid Ad fights, and other shenanigans. Its disgusting.
so in theory, I've only had the full experience of playing like 80 hours.
R U SRSIOSUSSHDBHSDS?
Thats only by math terms, and I can't say true it is, but feels close.
I've had more fun on PVP since the lag isn't as bad, and even when you lose vs #walletwarriors, it feels good.
A tie for most fun, is playing the single player dungeons/ campaign levels. its fun taking on small groups of ads. its the least laggy and less glitch too. I can tell this game runs at 60-fps in these areas.
My other problem is with the Dungeons. Other than the VOTE KICK problem, which is huge, as a player can spend most of their play time just looking for a team. Like, a Normal person with more responsibilities than me.
The dungeons are made for teams, but they feel More like you need to have certain classes together rather that five people. The skill doesn't matter either. You either have a variations of healer, tank, or tons of potions.
Its not fun needing those types of characters of making one just to pass the gear you get with your healer to your other character. Plus, I would need to delete one or buy one
My only real solutions is to tweek the dungeons some how.
Either by making them easier in the sense that it has less ads or the ads aren't as op.
Or make the Dungeons playable for less people. I would honestly like playing them by myself like the camping levels.
Seriously, I know i would have more fun fighting 4-7 ads at a time than running around 60+ idiot ads. kiting is boring when it makes up 90% of the boss fight. Its not a very technical or pleasant.
Seriously, them 1-shotting you is dumb, I get getting mobbed and dying, but 1 ad dealing 20,000+ from a At-will you CAN'T DODGE is lame.
It would be cool if certain bosses had an attack or two that one shotted you, like dark souls.
I mean, dont make it Dark Souls but don't just cater to the people who paid for stuff or feel special because they have people to play with.
This isn't a 25 man raid and its not really difficult, its artificial.
It feels like I'm playing Ghost N Goblins and my gear score or armor doesn't matter *bloop, 2 shots and I'm dead.
seriously, if my liftesteal was at 50% and my deflect was at 90%, I'd still die from one shot.
So a part from those dungeons, I was eagerly anticipating playing the campaign because the story is cool, this is WIZARD OF THE COAST D&D after all!
and... for the single player adventure, in order to get a powerful weapon, you need to do a Dungeon.
well, I hear people on the PC just run from door to door and don't even fight ads, lol.
Plus the repetitive nature of these campaign missions is silly. WHY!? haha. its not like you get that many useful items.
Most of the useful things come from killing the cultist, who drop rare treasures.
Is it to prevent players form making it to the dungeons? Well, by making a dungeon, you have.
I just want to see the end of the game, but I have to play once a day (which feels like I'm a child) and numerous times doing the same missions. It would be different if the missions were different or progressively got harder. But let me just play the game and restrict me on the dungeons and boons.
oh yeah, I've killed like 100 dragons, still no dragon bone, hahaha.
Lastly, Seems that PERFECT WORLD failed to understand the community of Xbox Live.
Maybe its same on the PC, but the player pool is smaller and will only get smaller as other games come out.
Its more of a problem on xbox than PC
I don't know if WOTC Perfect World understands how fickle the players are on xbox.
I fear that, let alone a year from now, but in 4 months, very few players will remain. VERY FEW.
maybe then I'll find a group.
I feel like Bart from the Simpsons when he sells his soul, has a dream where he is trying to row to an island, and see other kids rowing with their souls as a co-rower, but can't because he is alone.
TL;DR so in recap.
problems with dungeons.
1. Overall playtime
a. Spent mindlessly running from point a to point b in ENCLAVE. I want to get a mount for the actual areas, which is fair IMO.
b. Playing lol, not really, just sitting in queue, getting kicked, or a pvp matche were its 4v5 and a 5th person never comes.
c. Vast majority of time fighting encounters lagging, freezing, and dying for lack of hardware, not skill.
2. PLaying solo, little to no rewards once you're 60.
3.. Dungeons
a. Vote kick
b. Finding a team if you aren't a healer, tank, or potion monster.
c. Ads being stronger than you.
d. kiting, everyone does what a tank does but not all of us take dmg like them.
4. Campaign
a. why do we need to wait 20 hours. I can play the "story" from start to whispering caverns, but it stops. lol. Its probably for the boons, but just cap those, not the quest.
b. not really a SOLO adventure as advertised, because all the good stuff in guess what!? a dungeon. Idk if there is even any good stuff there anyways, like the 10 dolla wards, etc.
c. Just let me play the story! plz
I love the characters and how they look.
I like the armor and the detail.
I love the environments, looking around, and losing myself in the worlds.
The different types of play styles you can create.
I can't go deeper because I like how these areas functions. they're perfect! haha.
Also, I did not mention the paying for stuff. Thats fine, its a business model and it makes it unfair plus it furthers the rich vs poor divide but whatever. Skill will be better most of the time, GIVEN You have 4 others, haha.
