I've put about 50+ hours into trying to reach heaven on high floor 100 now. While some of you would laugh at my meager amount of devotion to HoH, 50+ hour is an insane amount for me to devote within the span of 2 weeks being the pleb that I am. I've reached 90+ many times but always to fail at the finish line that I feel like giving up this game altogether because I've never felt I've wasted so much time in my entire life.
The sad part is it's not even because of skill. I've done my best doing my job and was lucky enough to find amazing party members that did their best but the RNG element in HoH is too much. I've had runs where I can't even find a single magicite or runs where during the most desperate times only find nothing but alteration and intuition. All the hard work only to be screwed by the game at floor 99 where the game decides to give you Gloom, blind, no items for the 6th time in a row with mobs so clustered they mash together to and 3 pegasuses running to your spawn at once, often glitched into the wall and ready to screw your out 5 hours of hard work. Usually when I wipe hour after hours of raiding I would often at least have ways to improve my odds of beating it: get better gear, find better teammates, wait for the new expansion and just overpower the enemy. HoH is not like this, if you spent 5 hours to reach to the top only to die to some bad RNG then the best HoH can offer you is "better luck next time".
It's too much! I feel mentally exhausted by HoH and feel like it has become disruptive of my life on an unhealthy level.
