I really enjoy exploring them by myself, figuring out the mechanics and trying out all the paths. I understand it didn’t land with most people due to the underwhelming rewards but the idea behind it is really fun.
Now, I don’t think they are a replacement for explorarion zones or anything, I just think they should come alongside other pve content in the next expansions.
The savage version is a bit lame though, no new mechanics just a time limit, they should really add something to it that’s actually fun. Mqybe something like special weekly effects that make it easier/harder/different.
Finally got to dip briefly into the one today and wow is it beautiful and well done. Love it. Especially the pretty scenery on the right and left paths and the fairy.
Gun fairy was hilarious haha
My only suggestion would be that if you are going in alone that they adjust the boss health down a bit. I’ve been in there by myself fighting some boss for what seems like forever.
