I am disappointed with Deep Dungeon

One of the worst I've seen was someone attempting to rush through the floors because supposedly it made it more likely to get better random floor effects, whereas taking too long would cause you to be more likely to get penalizing effects.

You just know that some of these people are the type that hold Up and B while doing a handstand every time they throw a Poke Ball.

I think there may be some truth to it tho.
Because if not, all you have to do is run into the dungeon, avoid things, and hey if your good, you can prolly go in nakkid geared >.>
Which, knowing SE and how they can make stuff excruciating, would not be as easy as just sneak, avoid, open chest, and hope for the best that it wont explode/fail
If i were a game developer, i certainly wouldnt make the most valuable chest a random fail/success just by opening it. I'd make sure there would be at least some criteria to a higher success rate.

On a side note, ive noticed alot of early evening parties tend to skip the mobs and sneak alot just opening chests.
The late nighters seem to earnestly kill more mobs and use the pomanders more.
Jus something i personally experienced on my runs.

Well this was their first go at the concept.
I expect floors 51+ to be more of a challenge and hopefully changed up a bit.
Still beats doing Roulettes to cap on tomes though. Well Palace and Aquapolis that is

Also on another note about those complaining about the RNG, for one it is much quicker then Relic and also a member in our FC has just returned recently, tried Palace and almost has his weapon already.
Perhaps just luck or maybe just maybe it's not so bad?
Mine took me sometime though :/
But i believe they increased the rate or something last patch

I totally agree that PoTD needs to be expanded upon, but to say the first 50 floors of the planned-to-be 200 floor dungeon 'broke' the game for you is ridiculous. Were you really planning to extend your subscription based on catch-up, newbie appealing content that's obviously designed with 2.x-tier players in mind??

PoTD, in the form it's in currently, is by far the best coop content in the game. It's the only thing that exists currently, outside of queuing for individual dungeons together, that you can actually do as a lvl 60 player to help a new friend/FC member catch-up to endgame. As a bonus, I'd say the express 1-60 progression is a really solid way to introduce players to the complexity of lvl 60 rotations and get them excited to actually push through the (tons) of content they need to complete to get to the end-game.


Think about Deep Dungeon from the perspective of someone trying to engage a new player and I think you'll see that this is much more successful than Diadem ever was, for example.

I hope that floors 100-200 are greatly expanded on, however, and include much more complex layouts and puzzles like you've mentioned. I just think people keep in mind what is probably the intended audience for what we have currently.
