[The_Cheeseman]

<p>Why 5 targets, and not 8 like almost all AoEs currently use? I guess they really hate the popularity of AoE farm dungeons.</p>

[Koleg]

<p>DM just took 25 steps backwards .. this is right up there with the Gold Subs for SC; once a player gets a taste of something they like, they are not going to be happy or satisfied with something of lesser attraction.</p>

[Juravael]

<p>Yet another change in the wrong direction. Why don't ya just get rid of the DM system already instead of slowly killing it off?</p>

[Halo of G4]

<p>I wonder how long it will take for this feature to go the way of the dinosaurs and become just like Arena was after DoF.</p>

[Kenazeer]

<p>It occurs to me that maybe they want to make DM unattractive so that the things they are offering with their mini games seem easier to get through SC than DM tokens.</p>

[Grumble69]

<p>I'm actually fine by that.  But they need to revert it so that it can be a tool to grind xp/aa. </p><p>DM allows for creativity.  Awesome.  But the way it is implemented, it is set-up for a grind.  You are either trying to grind out 500-1000 tokens.  Or you're trying to hit 92/320 in short order.  So after that first run through a dungeon, whatever creative juices that were put into that dungeon are out the window.  I'm trying to achieve some goal.  "Yeah, nice Tolkien reference buddy.  It's still as funny as the previous 20 times I've run your dungeon.  Excuse me now while I slay Orc #950.  I've got 50 more to go."</p>

[Yimway]

<p>if DM = fun then set nerf == true OR if DM > droll then set nerf == soon.</p>

[Tatoma]

<p>It seriously seems that every step they take to make them more enjoyable is quickly countered by a massive step towards preventing people from bothering with them. </p>
