I was tempted to rate it good, until I realised what I was thinking was 'most of my expectations were met' and my expectations were pretty minimal so it doesn't seem accurate to call that good.

The dungeon finder was extremely annoying. A full group of 4 being kicked because "someone declined" after the ready check was completed is frustrating. Queuing for 40 minutes only to learn that the queue is broken and will never actually put me into a group is even more frustrating. A "fix" which just causes a slightly different problem (going from stuck in the queue to having to spam the button to even join the queue) is also annoying.

But the groups themselves were ok. Absolutely no interaction beyond the bare minimum in PUGs but at least they didn't kick my level 21 healer on sight and we always completed the dungeon. Guild groups were more fun but that's to be expected because it's a fun guild.

The mystery boxes gave me a couple of motifs I learned and may or may not use and some pets I may or may not use occasionally on alts. Nothing exciting but at least it didn't dump a giant spider into my account like the free crown crates once did.

All in all it was ok. I did it, I got my feather and some extra tickets. I went back to almost never doing dungeons.

Can't complain too much. The finder was glitchy sometimes but I haven't missed a day on either of my characters. I got two pets and various motifs, some of which I needed and some of which I sold for decent gold.

The Dungeon finder was ab-so-lute-ly ghastly. Missed a complete day of randoms for that. The PUG's were mainly a good experience and a lesson in how irrelevant CP is compared to experience. I haven't being doing dungeons for the last 150CP or so, MoS was a fun experience, I haven't done it before. Its was really nice getting motifs as I'm working on Grandmaster craftsman. Generally positive then but glad they didn't extend it as the queuing is painful but I can't just leave an event alone until it's done.

8 out of 10, or something like that.
I've expirienced problems only on day 1 (PC EU), got 3 rare non-CE pets, 1 CE pet, motifs worth over 200k (and I was a little poor after decorating my Psijic Villa). So it was more than okay I guess. Also all the awaliable tickets too.

Broken group finder broken most of the time was a pain

Once they patched the dungeon finder, it was pretty fun. Especially for my lowbies, some of whom ran their first dungeon. Most of the people I encountered in the random dungeon finder were friendly (I.e., they said hi at the beginning and thanks at the end) and someone always waited when I was turning in a quest. They even waited a couple of times when I crashed and had to reload into the game.

Funniest moment — this morning I legitimately loaded twice in a row into FG1, and not because I ported there. The second time it happened, I thought, OK, ZOS is messing with us. “They’re all going to FG1, so, surprise, let’s just put everybody there heh heh.” My husband suggested that on April Fool’s Day, they should auto load everybody into Scalecaller Peak as payback for FG1.

First couple days the group finder was utterly broken. The last half it mostly worked. Got a bunch of motifs for my crafters.

Outside of the first evening when I barely managed to get into a random dungeon once in an hour and a half of trying because of GF issues, I had a blast.
Ran a lot of dungeons with guildies, got my Templar from 10 to 22, realized that most of my alts aren't as potato as I thought they were. Got extra skill points on alts in dungeons they hadn't done. Got 3 pets and a number of motifs.

Like nearly everyone else, I found the event in the middle of good and bad. I didn't run into any jerks or exploiters in the pug group. I popped into whatever random dungeon, said hi to the group, in a workmen like fashion we plowed through the bosses, and at the end said tyfg and left. I only did the amount of undaunted runs to get the feathers, realizing now wasn't the time to grind for certain gear. All in all, the event was average.
(Note, I was running my high level healer, so que times weren't a problem for me.)

Mixed.

Started poorly with all the bugs preventing players from even running a random - ended alright though group finder still glitches and has issues.

Most of the rewards I got were alright, nothing great, some motifs I didn't have and a pet.

Experience wise was decent, most groups were pleasant - even knocked out a few DLC dungeons, though did get put into a disaster of a group trying to muddle through a DLC (I dropped).

A few times had a jerk that would run through the instance with a bunch of lowbies struggling to keep up and / or stay alive, as well as missed a quest or two from impatient players who would not wait a minute on NPCs.

Had a group that wanted to port to FG1 from a DLC - went, had another with a player that ported to FG1 from an easy normal where the rest of us were on lowbies wanting to do the quest for skill point - we kicked them.

Avoided it because according to some forum members quotes I’d apparently be a “lowbie or skill-less person who can’t kill anything or is always dead.”

@Reistr_the_Unbroken please don't let these kinds of people deter you what can be very enjoyable content in this game. You paid your money for this game just like everyone else and are just as entitled to participate. There is no reason that ANYONE of ANY level should not able to participate in a random normal dungeon. Anyone that has an issue with that, the issue is on their side not yours.

I'm going to go ahead and give this event a solid 'meh'.

Loving all the QQing on the forums. From both sides.

As someone returning to the game, I have mixed feelings about this event, it kinda put a bad taste in my mouth if this is how dungeons are ran on a regular basis. People were doing things to skip content in certain dungeons, several bosses bugged out. Killable, but where they ended up, made looting them impossible.

A lot of the time, I had issues just being able to que up for random dungeon finder. Where clicking it says not available at this time or the other fun issue of a player has declined the invite spam, causing the que to bug out forcing me to restart it, after sitting around for an hour and 40 minutes, finally deciding it was broken to try again.

A few groups I got into, the first thing you see typed into chat was FAKE TANK or FAKE HEALER. My characters were level 10-25, while running this event. I wasn't quite sure what was going on there, till I seen another forum post about it. Considering it is the first few early level dungeons, and almost every group I had, everyone else had CP of 600-800 range, I found this odd, that people would ditch the group, just because someone didn't have a shield or heavy armor on I guess? (just confused, still on this). We finished the dungeons just fine too, so, no idea there.... A lot of the time with mobs / boss just running all over the place.

The googogogo mentality made dungeons on World of Warcraft no longer enjoyable as it is. Sorta sucks to see it is here as well. I find a chest in the dungeon, and stop to pick the lock, by the time I tell the party / loot what is inside for me, they are already half way across the map, already murdering everything in their wake.

I did enjoy getting the 3 pets that I did, even if I will never use them sadly.

I am terrified to see how dungeons pan out at later levels and higher difficulties.


At least the solo content in this game is engaging enough.
