    Are you complaining that you got a dungeon that even newer players can probably solo? You should be blowing through that. Yeah... I'll take CB1 all day long on random dungeons.

    Its better than getting Bloodroot, ICP, WGT, DS2, etc. At least CB1 you don't need to rely on your group being competent.

    And yeah, I like to kill all the bosses because not all of us are max toons. Could use on an alt, research item, etc.

    Vet DS2 by mistake? Certainly wasn't a rando. I believe the rest of us are also talking about random group members. Would love to see the stats on the completion rate of total random vet DS2.
    DS2 vet was me and it was an guild group, DS2 normal is an pug killer, its also an healer stress test, yes the dlc are worse on vet but still. On normal I say DS2 is the last dungeon i would want an fake healer.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    I prefer the easy dungeons to be honest. I had fungal and it was a breeze. Then MAZZATUN happened and I was kinda sweating bullets. Only 1 puglet didn't know the mechanics based on their actions, but it was surprisingly ok.

    I thought that too. When Mazzatun popped, I nearly quit as a) I had never done it before so never knew the mechanics and b) I heard it was a ballache. Due to the group I was in, it was really easy. I kept waiting to be found out (Although I did warn them prior to hitting the first boss I was going in blind), but before i knew it, the last boss was down and a few achievements popped. No deaths either, even I stayed up. :D

    Amazing how 3 good players (Not including myself) can make difficult content look trivial. I'm sure if i was to go in with another I'd get the true experience.

    Thank your lucky stars. Two days ago I got Falkreath hold, bloodroot forge and ruins of mazzatun all in a row. (I bet someone was trolling the randoms) yesterday I got banished cells three times in a row and it was a welcome breath of fresh air.

    I don't think I got that one. Haven't been able to do very many, but I'm trying to get a few in before the end of the event if life allows for it.

    Spindleclutch II x2
    Selene's
    Darkshade caverns II
    Ruins of Mskhrebigheibvolebtvritubv
    Bloodroot Forge

    Before that, I did Banished Cells like twice way back in 2014. And that was the end of my dungeon experience before this event.

    My level 34 tank got Spindleclutch I every day except for one. Other than that I've seen a good selection including at least one DLC dungeon (white-gold tower). That one made me a little nervous as I'd heard it was tough, and I did die once on the final boss as I didn't know the mechanics.

    Oddly I never got wayrest for this event at all. Got a few Spindleclutch I, but I really really enjoy hating that spidery-horror, so I'm happy to kill her any number of times.

    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Another option might be Bloodroot Forge with a fake tank. It's your choice :-)

    Maybe Zenimax manipulated the RNG because they think it's a good tutorial dungeon. Actually you learn to avoid red circles and you need to block the Soul Blast special attack :-)

    you can skip 2 bosses in BC1 esp when the team has weak dps so it still better than other beginner dungeons like wayrest or spindleclutch.

    In a way its manipulated, if you have an low level on group you only get the stating dungeons, with all above 45 its total random, dlc dungeons require all to have the dlc.
    Note that outside of the event lots more do pledges and if you queue for random its an high chance of getting an pledge.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    Some dungeons are locked to early levels, so you tend to get a lot of those who are not because a lot of people were doing the event on all their characters and it was free play week. Spindle 1, FG1, CoH1, BC1, etc. I loved getting those during the event though, easy runs.
