My first impressions of dungeons were not that great. They had to do mainly with the storyline and some offshoots. They were often quite small and had a few small zones you had to go through. They left me feeling quite disappointed. They more or less left me wanting to scream “well of course they suck it’s a mobile game.”

When it came to dungeons in Lost Ark after around 30 minutes in one of them you start to wonder if they would ever end. Even more so if it was your first time inside the dungeon and you were struggling a bit.

Diablo Immortal on the other hand is not the quick small chamber or a couple of short connected zones I thought it was. They are not long but long enough that you feel like you are up for another one after you are done.

Some of the better dungeons felt like they had the environment play some kind of role. While some of them were quite simple such as you have to break a door or push something other. One of them had you fighting on a raft going down a river.

I would have loved to see them push harder on that end of things. There could have been some cool and challenging environment things added to dungeons that would not have taken away from the usual murder of a bunch of creatures and watching the loot explosions happen. I was hoping for more things you could have used as an alternative way to kill a creature instead of using your attacks.

As far as dungeons go I’m the kind of player that loves to just solo them. I don’t want to wait around for a group to form. I don’t want to feel like I’m either carrying a group or slacking off and not doing enough if I don’t have good enough gear. I just want to run them alone and take my time if I need to afk for a few moments to deal with something outside of the game.

While dungeons have an option to form a group to run one. At least during the leveling process, I was not required to have a group. I just got to enjoy them. That is how I wish they stayed.

Even more so when no one wants to run the dungeon you want for the gear. You end up sitting around for 5, 10 minutes, or even longer. This is a game that only just came out on June 2nd, 2022. To make matters even worse the dungeon I wanted to farm had increased drop rates and still, it was a struggle to find a pickup group for.
Even once someone finally joined. They were a much higher paragon and gear level than I was in. once that dungeon was finished of course they did not want to stick around for another with a noob who just hit level 60 hours ago. I also can’t blame them either.

With all of that to the side. Just running the normal dungeons outside of the Hell difficulties has been a blast. There are at least eight of them that you can run and get battle pass points for daily. While not an insane amount you don’t need hundreds of different ones either. It’s enough for a game that only has a few different regions in it.

One thing I liked that they did is how they handled you getting killed. As I often enjoy soloing I do sometimes get killed. Depending on how deep you were in before getting killed. You either had a short run back from the dungeon start or you got a portal that took you up to the stage of the dungeon you were on.

If you get killed however while fighting the boss and you are the only one. You do need to restart that fight from the beginning. I found it gave me some in-person practice so I could learn fights on my own.
