Such a terrible idea to have to spend majority of the time running normal maps just to get a chance at 1 elite run.
Make keys drop EVERY D6 run.

[repullze]

yeaaaaaa…this is a fail lmao

[alanrap]

Dude, we've run Dune 6 three times already and NO ONE in the party got the key drop—is this for real?

I've only done 1 gauntlet run so maybe I'm not qualified to comment just yet, but it feels like the timer is too short for each wave, especially for the wave 20 where short time is paired with vylah's weird cycles, I don't know if you guys are familiar with it, but after she does her red cone attack, disappears and then reappears, she's still not attackable for a second after which she almost immediately does her red cone attack again and she disappears again, a very weird boss encounter that is not fit for a timed dungeon.
Also the gold drops are incredibly low

[Lionzone]

Do you guys like take the time to test these maps/portal before you release?

[Sucr]

Timer for elite needs to be extended and also players only play dune maps to farm gold, the elite dune has terrible gold drops and the amount of time it takes to even enter the elite map then clear waves just makes this whole thing pointless for the average farmer.
After the aps farmers are finished, this portal will be forgotten about.

“Elite Duneveil” yet it’s still outshined by Duneveil I

Changes need to happen <3

Nice content for jobless people and bot idiots.
Running 1-6 maps to get 1 key you cant even stack more then 3 pcs. Lemme guess next is paying plat to get to lv5 dune and maybe even buying keys for gauntlet for plat.
Are you aware how miserable amount of people is left playing this game and even how much less people wants to run dune 1-6 ? Im sure you are.
Aps are idiotical, 1k each bosses in gauntlet, that come god knows on how many waves+ count in 1.5k average 1-6 runs, cuz u dont even get the key evry time on lv6 . Need to run 1-6 like 20k times to finish aps?
I guess its too hard to actually make something new and fun so you just put torture aps for trailer trash people that can play game 24/7/365.
Atleast make 1-6 elite maps too, and leave gauntlet as bonus portal map.

Delete this portal permanently, it was better without it.

[jafaarrasta]

+1 for delete, not even gonna waste time telling what is wrong with it

Hey devs, I been looking forward to this day for a while now.. I just wanted to share my sadness with you. The gauntlet is cool but it's sad that that's the only thing about it , you can't really farm anything innit. Also I been looking forward to play with my friend and now I can't even play with any friend of same class the elite "map". Do I'm basically doomed to only play dune 1 now. Not saying to change anything just maybe consider just bring out also just the dune maps in normal elite version like every other map also

**Feedback from a 13-Year Arcane Legends Player**

Dear Developers,

I have been playing Arcane Legends for over 13 years. During that time, I have supported the game through every expansion, every new map, and every major update because I genuinely enjoy the world you have created. This feedback comes from someone who wants to see the game continue to grow for many more years.

My first concern is the repeated nerfing of older farming maps, especially Hedourah.

Every time players spend months learning efficient strategies, investing in gear, and optimizing their farming routes, those efforts eventually lose their value due to another gold nerf. While I understand the need to control inflation and encourage players to explore new content, making older maps significantly less rewarding creates the feeling that years of effort are constantly being erased.

New maps should absolutely be more attractive, but older content should remain a viable option. A healthy game offers players choices instead of forcing everyone into the newest map.

My second concern is the class restriction in the new Elite Dune Portal.

This is even more problematic because it directly affects how people can enjoy the game.

One of Arcane Legends' greatest strengths has always been the freedom to play the class you love. Some players have spent years perfecting their Mage, Warrior, or Rogue. They should not feel pressured to switch classes just to access new content.

The current system also creates unnecessary waiting times. Imagine a random player entering the queue only to wait 10 minutes because one specific class is missing. During quieter hours, this wait can become even longer, leading players to simply leave the queue instead of playing.

A matchmaking system should help players get into the game faster, not prevent them from playing.

Instead of requiring specific classes, please consider allowing any team composition. Balanced parties could receive bonus rewards, small combat advantages, or faster completion bonuses. This would encourage teamwork without restricting player freedom.

Players naturally enjoy different classes. If most players choose Mage or Rogue, that reflects what the community enjoys. Game systems should adapt to player behavior rather than forcing players to adapt to artificial restrictions.

After 13 years, I still want Arcane Legends to succeed. That is exactly why I am sharing this feedback.

Please continue creating exciting new content, but also respect the time, effort, and freedom of the players who have supported this game for so many years.

Thank you for listening to the community.

i didn’t run yet but make quick update make keys guaranteed drop (that’s what i gathered from few comments)

[alanrap]

Perhaps this limited feedback is already enough for a MAJOR CHANGE; I'll stay online waiting for the shutdown message.

Dear STS Team

The Gauntlet is terrible.
It’s way too hard...way too hard.
And yes, I have the best equipment.
The gold drop is very very bad.
There’s a boss that doesn't fit the game mechanics at all.Vylah.
Dune wasn't nerfed.It doesn't feel like it.
You’ve let me down again.
I was really looking forward to this, but I’m disappointed.
Why do you do things like this?
Do you want to lose the remaining players?I don't get it.
It could have been so great.
Why didn't you take inspiration from Zodias?
Or Hedo?
You *know* we like portals like that.
You know what we actually want.
Why don't you do it?
Zodias has a Gauntlet, too.
It turned out great.
Rahab turned out great.
Hedo turned out great.
You did a fantastic job with those portals.
Why did you ruin Dune?
Make a portal with a boss.
Like Hedo or Rahab.
Make the boss dies with a 1-2 sec delay.
You know that's how we like it.
I’m so disappointed that I want to quit the game again.
I only came back because I thought you were finally doing a good job.
But this new portal is atrocious.
Nerf it.
Increase the gold drop.
Remove or change Vylah or give it a proper nerf.
Increase the key limit in the inventory.
Keys should be available on every map.Maybe as boss drops.
On *every* map.
There’s just too much to do.
3 keys is definitely not enough.

This game and the whole community, despite the ups and downs, have become dear to my heart.
Even though your basic idea was good, please rework this portal, the gold drops, the bosses, and the key system.

Listen to this.
Listen to your whales.
Then they’ll happily keep spending big money.
Listen to your community so the game stays fun and alive, so we can move into the future together.

Love wasting keys to be put in different map than my own party members and the class restriction is so pointless why it say X/4 when only one class each?

Everywhere people only complaining about how unnecessary tedious this long awaited elite dune is with the only rewards being APs

[Ardaa]

why nerf banish/insta kill chance in elite dune? People payed alot of gold/plat to gear up for this and you just secretly nerfed it. Completely wasted my money on evil set, banish stones, heroic ghostly, heroic fin. And 33k gold from wave boss 5,10,15 is a joke…atleast I‘ve got gold from hunting the keys since I needed 4x dune floor 6 tries to get 1 key and I don‘t want to start about the Boss kill ap with this rate…

[Oldplayerreturn]

Just did a run where w5 boss reset itself and ofc the timer ran out bc its a complete stalling boss great design, boss reset in its own boss room
