Thread: No more timers on Dungeons/Raids for new content please!

Hello SE,

Please do not introduce any more content that involves timers. I don't mind DPS races... or bosses that require speed to kill... but i'm sick of having a stupid clock running the game. I didn't realize this game was Zelda Majora's Mask!


Who's with me!?

Thumbs upppp!

the problem with instanced dungeons/raids people will rush as fast as they can regardless. right now you have more than enought time for them all

People will rush anything they can anyway. Generally the real point is that people are not interested in carrying a stop watch in every dungeon.

60min is enough for you to explore entire dungeon.

Timers are set in place so people don't linger in a dungeon for to long, it allows them to create the difficulty without it being changed through people taking their sweet time in a dungeon. It also helps to alleviate the instances of each dungeon by always guaranteeing that said instance will be open from 20-60mins depending on how long it takes said party to do it.

Think about it, what's so different about an instanced dungeon that's timed and an NM mob that has a rage timer in the open world? Not much really lol.

I don't think the timers are the real problem. Speed runs are.

I don't nessesarily agree with any of the side arguments. There is no point changing any current content and furthermore we are still not operating on 2.0 server capacity. When that time comes there should not be any severe fear of server congestion. If final fantasy 14s competitors can run without it there is no reason why we should have to have timers either.

Just remove speed runs and done.

Remove speed run (speed run = ""hard mode"" in actual game... lol) , give us REAL hard mode switch (confirmed in 2.0 right? ) And if 2.0 will have more and more content at release, put a DECENT TIME BINDING for dungeon...

The formula: fight every 15 mins with lollish drop rate have to die. Maybe they could let us spam normal, but for the love of god, hard modes need 12h-24h with 1 drop assured at least.
