Am I reading it wrong, it looks like they just did it so you can choose to go to floor 100 but you still need to go from floor 1, and it simply blocks going any higher? (floor 98~floor 4 I hate you.) Which I suppose is still better than it is.

3 things.
1) We can't overshoot 100 Anymore, SO long as we choose 100 as our cap.
2) A "Upgrade" Tier system, Turning in X amount of Shitty (20) armor, into a level 40 piece, x Amount of 40 armor into a 60 piece
3) Beating Floor 100 Boss lets you select 1 piece of Floor 100 Armor, instead of random drop.
If I'm reading that correctly then this too:
4) if you select a lower floor (ie floor 80), you can spam the ??? option knowing that the floor you selected is the highest floor you will be taken to.
EDIT: this is very good news. I may actually log in again to try this.
Definitely an improvement over the exiting maddness. But on #2, I read it as there are 2 ways that they are thinking of.
Thinking 1:
Beat Floor Boss X times, pick 1 item from Floor Boss. So that you would have something like:
20 X times -> 1 item from 20.
40 Y times -> 1 item from 40.
60 Z times -> 1 item from 60.
80 M times -> 1 item from 80.
100 N times -> 1 item from 100.
Thinking 2 (more progression like to me) would be something along the lines of:
After beating the lower level Boss X number of times, you'll be allowed to pick an item from the Boss that is 1 incremental block higher. So that you have something like:
20 X times -> 1 item from 40.
40 Y times -> 1 item from 60.
60 Z times -> 1 item from 80.
80 M times -> 1 item from 100.
100 1 time -> 1 item from 100.
was really looking for an upgrade feature, so that is great. And the others options seems fine too. :)
Aye, it's not technically the armor you turn in. Just the kills. So you can't get floor 100 armor from enough floor 20 spam, only floor 40 armor. If you want floor 100 armor, you have to either farm floor 80 a bunch or beat floor 100. Though if they implement the stopper system as is, floor 100 will actually be doable and since they are also allowing the trade of floor 100 kills to drops at a 1:1 ratio it's pretty much awesome.
"We are also currently looking into the direction of obtaining the stronger equipment through this method. For example, if you are able to defeat the notorious monster on floor 20 above a certain amount of times, you will be able to receive one of the possible rewards for floor 40."
dear god this needs M bison or Jack Nicholson yes gif STAT
Congratulations on showing your lack of gameplay knowledge with the community - commence shunning.
Side note: Treasure hunter has been significantly tested; either you haven't looked because your stupid/lazy or you lack reading comprehension to understand math heavy posts?
Bonus Note: Challenging anyone to PvP in any game shows lack of maturity and lack of game knowledge. Beating someone in PvP(much less FFXI PvP) means squat. Good try though bro.
