Shoot, it doesn't even have to be revamped. But a long with the gold they reward at the end (which should be increased. They should reward you with a random item at the end. buff pots, items with experience buff chargers, and items on par with the new items you can get from the dungeon revamps. Which will increase in level as you move up to higher TD's.

At least new level 50's will have some jewelry to wear until they get settled in, and the boredom of TD's will be off-set by the hopes of getting a decent item.

Go level in those dungeons.

TDs never should have been put in the game. They should be removed, not adjusted.

Why should they be removed?

You'll probably level out of the dungeon before you get anything decent, and by decent, I mean the items on par with the Flesh Bound friar staff or whatever it's called. At least that was the case with my necro. I actually ended up over leveling in the place because I was intentionally farming for the drops.

Which is why they need to add more incentives to form groups in PvE.

Both TDs and IDs isolate people and, for those playing in the TD/ID, make the MMO more like a limited play XBox/Playstation FPS team game. Also, and more importantly, both TDs and IDs cause harm to the overall feeling of an MMO by removing players from the game world giving the world a ‘ghost town’ feeling.


IDs have isolated benefits and can be useful in solving specific problems but should only be used where absolutely necessary, but there is no place where TDs have an absolute necessity or where TDs solve any problem that could not be better solved using an alternative method. TDs only create problems, they do not solve unique problems. There are alternatives to TDs (alternatives that enhance the game rather than detract from the game).


As there are better alternatives to a game having TDs and because TDs tend to contribute to a ‘ghost town’ feeling of the game world, TDs should have never been added to the game.

They could overhaul it so it ends up similar to the old task system - something which is only accessible to level 1-19 players.

And turn the noob areas into ghost towns again like they did with /level? Granted that there are not many noobs in the game but it would be great if the few that show up find more than an empty game.


I know that some like TDs, that does not make them good for the health of the game.
