Having a mysterious ancient civilization that conquered the world before dying out lets you do a lot from a story perspective. Want to include some cool instance but have no way to justify it in the current setting? Allagans did it!Quote:

Heaven on High: That's it?

Tbh It's interesting the fact that they are setting up a prophecy of a promised warrior and that is what HoH is for. Also makes me feeling less bad in helping the return of piracy in the ruby sea tbhQuote:

Also imo the floors 31-50 still feel quite casual and not really a challenge at all. Heck even up to 70 is not that harsh. Only the floors from 71 on are a true challenge that can even hit you hard with full aether gear. So why not make it 50/50? Not only have casuals more floors but those who want a challenge dont have to go through 20 floors that are still not one..which makes it at least easier to try this with randoms because 70 floors is still quite the time sink and makes this quite hard with randoms. (While not being that hard until later floors..even though the 80 boss was really a joke and less dangerous than the 30...)Quote:

Looking from the perspective of lore/story progression, I could probably accept whatever reason (spoilers maybe?) behind the lockout. Doesn't make me any less sad tho. -

The floor 30 "boss" is a reskinned Titan and the weapons are all reskins as well. It's getting exhausting seeing nothing but reskined or reused assets so often now.
