My friend thought so as well and it seemed to work for a bit but eventually that method failed so I think it's just 50/50 luck.

I like the Aquapolis aswell. It's really fun and you get some extra rewards.
I love Aquapolis! It's what Diadem should have been. Fun fun for everyone!
Have fun with it map, its meant to troll you!
Me and my FC friends did a bunch of maps last night and today. We all had a great time. Everyone was saying it was the most fun they've had in ages. And the loot was great too. Only got to 7th floor once, and 6th twice, with a bunch of 1s and 2s, but no one got frustrated. Like has been posted above, it's all bonus.
The expectation shouldn't be get in to a portal every time or that you'll always make it to the end. I can understand the frustration if say you buy a dragonskin map and get nothing, but for those of us with gatherers that can get the maps for free, it's usually profitable either way. I will say that the trolling aspect of the doors can be irritating, I can just picture whoever came up with it giggling to himself the whole time.
I really like it because it gives me something I can do with just about anyone in my FC.
If RNG bothers you, you are playing the wrong game.
