Is Anyone Playing Dungeoneering for Fun?

[CharlieBrown]

Also, how is dungeoneering even remotely related to an RTS game?

 

 

Dungeoneering:

 

You control yourself, and try to control your likely uncooperative teammates who decide its fun to make full fractice in a 5:5 small and ragequit because you happened to kill a dinosaur.

 

I siggy'd this.

Best, ever, quote.

I laughed for a good 5 minutes.

 

(this has happened to me before)

[Zygimantas]

I don't play for fun

FAIL. You know somethings wrong when you stop playing video games for fun.

My dungeoneering level is currently 52. So far for up to 50, I've been doing it solo in small dungeons which I found pretty fun and exciting and only recently have I started doing teams with my friends. Me and 2 other friends decided to do a large dungeon earlier today and wow, I've never been so frustrated before. Countless Brutes and Forgotten Warriors are thrown to you while food is limited with 3 players and the keys would not stop appearing. With each door opened, another room with 3 other doors appear and this kept going on for 2 whole hours. It was getting so dreadful and repetive that it wasn't fun anymore.

 

Jumping from small to large dungeons can ruin your day.

W117 isn't that bad, just ignore the obvious trolls and go with people you've seen before.

[Warlover]

The 2 main advantages of W117 are:

 

1) Skill Hunting Players for Ancient Effigies

 

2) Empty skill spots across the world that are normally busy

[crashNburn]

I simply dont find the game fun.

 

I try, i really do. But the bosses always seem a bit stale, all the puzzle rooms just become repetitive, and chances are your teammates suck.

I dunged for a rapier and arcane stream, because I wanted them for slayer. I don't think dung is as terrible as the majority of the community says, but I don't find it very enthralling.

[Mazhar]

No, I play it for the rewards.

[Shelby_Polo]

Right now I'm training dunge because I want to get to X level. But I also really enjoy dungeoneering, and when I train with people who are really fast, I can play it all night.

[Bladewing]

I hate dungeoneering. So in other words, hell no.

[AnneFrank]

I want chaotic staff

Chaotic Cross bow

and more

 

 

I like this skill more then every single skill.

[i lied , i like magic a bit more]

 

DG is just so fun

[Sly_Wizard]

I usually play in W117 and quit if it's not a rush.

 

I hate people like you. I just wanted to say that.

Diablo isn't a RTS, it's an action rpg.

 

but anyways, whenever i'm in a group everyone just wants to finish the dungeon quickly and move on to get all the exp they can. i like soloing myself because i can collect stuff and get all the best armor and food. problem is, whenever i solo, the boss is very easy and rarely stresses me out, quite the opposite when there is a part of 5, everyone dies multiple times on a boss.

[Aidos Drakon]

I really like it. I think one of the more enjoyable things in this game. Its randomness keeps me entertained. Though I only do solo meds so no teammate issues. I dont grind it either. I play as long as I feel like which is why I'm on level 63 and have been training it since release. :wink:

[Aneron]

I like to play dungeoneering, but as people have said before me, only with friends or solo. W117 is just... evil. Yes, the rudeness and stupidness of it's population has seeped into the hardware and created a monstrosity. W117 users, beware, the end is nigh!

 

If w117 were a piece of art, it would be poop in a can

 

 

The idiocy of 117 is simply astounding

 

I've done a decent amount of dungeoneering (level 82) and I'd say I disagree. The only real alternative to w117 is DGE, which is a clan with some very good dungeoneers, and many people who think that they are very good dungeoneers.

 

Floors are undeniably faster with the pros, but I would not say that's the case of final xp/hour. To do a floor in W117, I allow 5 minutes to get a team and 50 minutes to finish the floor (unless it's occult). All that 2-hour stuff is complete [cabbage], all you have to do is be selective in your teammates.

 

If I'm doing it with DGE, I allow 20 minutes to get a team and 40 ish minutes for the floor (again, unless it's occult). This is my consistent experience in training, up to this very day. I don't mind, as I just craft battlestaffs while I wait, but the large amounts of dungeoneering 'time' not spent dungeoneering are just frustrating, especially if it's people refusing to play with me because I don't have a hood, despite the fact that the only thing a hood changes is your food consumption (which has never been a problem for me). I guess if you're going to stay with the people for the next 5-10 larges the initial wait pays off, but that's not a playing style I'm able to do.

 

117 has the danger of ragequitting, but I have been ragequit on before, by a DGE member, for literally no reason than the fact that 3 team members (of the team he created) did not have hoods. DGE is better at dungeoneering than 117, but that's just because it's a community that has devoted itself to learning all the ins and outs of the skill, not because it's some amazing unique creation. They're better than 117, but not by all that much, and I can't say I like the people there all that much more either.

 

Anways to briefly address the topic, I play because I think it's the most fun skill, and it has great rewards. I do prefer team members who are familiar with the strategies necessary for maximum exp. The main difference between a <1hour and 90 minute+ floor is whether you clear every room or just GDs, and I don't find that clearing skill rooms or key rooms makes the skill any more fun, lol.

[Zygimantas]

I hate dungeoneering. So in other words, hell no.

and yet you have level 80. So either you don't hate it that much, hate it more now then before, or grinded it for the sake of rewards while not having fun.

[Shadiochao]

I usually play in W117 and quit if it's not a rush.

 

I hate people like you. I just wanted to say that.

 

And I hate people who don't rush =/ It's a waste of time that I can avoid by quitting

[elucin8er]

I made a post similar to this in regards to playing for fun.

 

I've eventually come to the conclusion that there are indeed 3 types of views of grinding people have

 

1. Think Grinding is fail, they play the game for fun and avoid skills they don't like.

2. They grind, don't enjoy their time and eventually go on to quit making a post like "rs is wasting my time blah blah blah."

3. They grind, but enjoy the challenge of it and is what they actually enjoy about RS. Are also bad at other games hahaha.

 

I used to be 3, then I took my 3 year break and came back to RS, now fitting in 1. I haven't leveled agil / mining / rc / hunter since and my dung level isn't even on the hiscores haha.

 

Most of the RS population is 2, and I really rage at these types as they try to convince me they're enjoying it, only to make a quitting post soon after. Too many people forget this is just a game, they log on, achieve goals alone and aim for best xp per hour. It's no wonder so many people quit this game :oops:

Basically what every dumb Runescape kid does.

 

Its great that you have an opinion, but do you REALLY need to insult everyone and make sweeping generalizations just because some players have a different definition of fun?

I've seen that argument a million times. You aren't convincing anyone.

[Blutters]

Pretty much = OP here.

For me it goes quests -> Dungeoneering -> Minigames -> anything else.

 

For the awesome 3/4 of my Dungeoneering experience before Occult floors were released, I ALWAYS played with at least 2 or 3 friends on my team and we screwed around just plain having fun finding funny things to do with items and little tricks and glitches and such.

After that it got a bit dull, with some things getting repetitive. I can only really have fun in a large or really easy C1s on the lower floors now.

 

But then Occult came around, and it's kind of a new experience again, so I'll be happy for a while more. Plus, the incentive of being able to get more lvl 80 gear MUCH faster is a powerful force.

Can you hear yourself talk?

 

You honestly believe "every dumb runescape kid" just grinds there way to high skills, realizes they arent having fun, and then just comes back to runescape for more like an abused wife to a bad husband?

 

This may come as a suprise to you, but people play this game for fun, just like you do. Yes, sometimes the game is unfun, but the reward at the end often makes up for it, and allows you to have more fun in other aspects of the game... No, believe it or not we arent all soulless peons who grind there way to 99 just because the number kinda looks cool.

Are you trying to prove a point? Because i honestly can't see it...

[Tempest_Mike]

I play for fun. I say maybe 90% of the stuff I do on RuneScape is for fun. Dungeoneering included.

 

Pretty much this, I farm, Dungeon and sometimes chin and craft, because I enjoy them. Sometimes though I need to do TD's for money for them, which is boring.

[SirIzenhime]

I've only done dungeons with teams on a vent server I go on. We have a blast "almost" every minute of it.

I find dungoeneering a lot of fun to do. I don't enjoy rushes though, I tried one...hated it, have never done it since.

I know.

 

Just come back in a few years.
