Tried new dungeon for first time in solo mode on PS4. Initially new village around Men-kamoses Spire did not load. I followed the red beam and was very surprised to see no Men-kamoses at the spire, in fact nothing had changed from the several years visiting this location. Just a red beam rising out of the steps, I thought, “wow Funcom this is so subtle, good on you.”
And after some exploration i saw a teleporter levitating about 10ft off the ground off to one side, no way to access it. After more exploration and clicking on things I was going to take a photo and leave and suddenly buildings starting popping in, me and my 2 thralls were attacked by dudes in black cultist garb, and an altar appears with a bikini clad woman shouting “Don’t touch me”…
There is some deep magic going on here. Must investigate further…
No indication how to find this new bloodstone everyone wants… I was in single player, so I created some bloodstone and entered teleporter once the steps finallllllly materialized…
curios-er and curious-er, says I.
Game Crash. No problem. Reload and back at it.
Get there, small encampment loads, get thralls mount steps, Entered the Dungeon with a level 5 Janos and a level 18 tier 3 Dancer both fully kitted and fed. I made it to the fog and maze level, enjoying every step immensely, was falling in love with Funcom again, not afraid to admit that. Then the fog maze, pillars and zombies appeared, damn-damn-damn-cr#p! Got pinned by zombie horde that was not there a second ago… shucks. Swung sword couple of times but was in medium armour didn’t stand a chance with mob of 5-7 zombies materializing (??) on top of me and stun-lock-ganked me.
To death.
I reload in my base and my first thought is to get my followers out of dungeon.
As I go to leave my base game crash… cool par for the course (its a PS4 thing you just go with it). I know the mantra now. Turn Game Off, Turn off PS4, rebuild database on PS4. (My own fault for not upgrading console, sorry).
After about 15 min. database done PS4 loads, get into game kit out race back to Shrine just me and healing pots, and Heavy Gear. Get to Shrine and both my thralls are standing outside dungeon both full health level 20
¡nice!.
So all in all pretty cool Dungeon although I must confess I really do not understand magic.
TLDR : tried Dungeon on PS4. Much surprises, very beautiful. Hard on PS4 stuff just materializes so wear heavy armour. went in with lvl 4 and lvl 18 thralls, died, game crashed, after crash both thralls MAGICALLY lvl 20 waiting outside for me.
Confusing, beautiful, mysterious, just like life.
****Note Small settlement around Men-koses now loads for me more quickly, then my first time visiting. Haven’t tried dungeon again, gonna wait a bit. (3 months or so seems to be the standard).
