Dungeoneering is
Quick find code: 285-286-231-66278125
Dungeoneering is easily my least favorite skill. Is it even a skill or is it a minigame? Players have debated this since the start, but I'm not interested in going into that here.
I was very much looking forward to DG when it was announced. I like the concept. However, the reality of it disappointed me. There were several aspects I did not care for, and a couple that I hated. I do have to say, in all fairness, Jagex did fix some of the objections I had to DG, particularly the removal of the 50% penalty that used to be applied to free players simply to punish us for the terrible crime of being over combat level 90 while being F2P. There were a few other minor tweaks that I liked, but for me that was one of my main problems with DG corrected.
Some of the puzzles I do enjoy, but there are a few that I absolutely detest, to the point where if one of them is blocking the critical path, I will not waste time on them. I will teleport back to the starting room and end the dungeon in favor of starting over with a different dungeon.
I would also appreciate being able to reorder the items in my bind pool to make it all nice and neat. Tracking down the journals I am still missing is taking too long, even though I know which floors I have to check for them again...and again...and again...yes RNG is a thing. It can be a very annoying thing.
Many of the boss fights are fun, even though a few of the mechanics are tedious. Some of the bosses are too weak to seriously be called a boss.
Another complaint I have about DG is the whole notion of rushing floors. Yes, I know I am "supposed" to run around and find the critical path as quickly as possible in hopes of killing the boss to move to the next floor in five minutes or so - but that's not my style. I prefer to explore every room and use up every resource I can access. It's often the case that I will spend close to an hour clearing one floor.
You may think I'm doing it all wrong, but for me the wrong way is the right way.
