PotD Fix

I got to floor 137 then got Disconnected..... Appearently getting Disconnected counts as a KO and I lost my 20+ hour save.

This needs a fix, I realize that people can exploit a disconnect, but this is NOT the solution... If you get disconnected when soloíng PotD you should be able to log in at the exact some spot where you left off.

Something ANYTHING is better then losing your save because of a disconnect... I dont care if can be exploited by the entire game base....

Welcome to potd solo runs, the home of desperation and grief.
Its been like that forever and plenty of good runs got canceled like that.

It can be abused, yeah, that is the issue. Are there ways to prevent it ? Yeah possibly. They could give you a 2nd chance for each floor when you dc, so you restart from the starting floor, maybe reduce the starting timer by 10min as punishment, but at least it is not all gone.

i feel this, if i can relog into a trust, why not POTD or HOH?

honestly, I do believe that hoh and potd need a few tweaks, such as relogging grace, higher drops for certain pomanders and magictite (0.5% for elder magicite and raising? I've only ever seen a single elder magicite in over 2000 floors of suffering in hoh) echo 50% on 1 and 25% in 2 player sized groups to equal the capaibilities of 3 and 4 man groups

and a numeric indicator for the kills until cairn usage rather than a glow

edit: fuck floor 83 of hoh, I've had at least 4 kos there! gonna try and clear it tonight with my friend. wish us luck

How did you lose a 20+ hour save on floor 137 when there's a hard 60 minute time limit on each set of 10 floors?

The 20 hours probably refers to the entire proccess of grinding it, yeah i get hat it's only about 13 hours at most but people exaggerate.

update: another change, please extend that timer or fix the number of enemies to slay at something reasonable. given how much of a damage sponge enemies 71+ are, 60 minutes is a harsh limit.

just lost on floor 90 with my friend. We had str's up and lots of easy enemies and even got to magicite an absolute brutal floor (no items, abilities and gloom) But we ran out of time on the boss. Why? because on no less than 4 of those floors, we ended up having to kill 8+ enemies to open the passage to the next floor. One of those was with a flight active.

Simple rng killed our run and there was nothing we could have done

Got disconnected three times now... once at floor 88, once at floor 97, and once at floor 137... this is rediculous...

There is really no way to solve it as Square Enix would need to snapshot the entire game at the time of your disconnect. We are talking terabytes worth of data in a game where the world is still moving if you are logged out. That is why when you log back in everything is in different places.

Maybe in a single player game you could solve this but no chance in an MMO. I know your pain all too much on this issue.

Something like that for crafting also needs to be implemented. The best part is, SE doesn't have any excuses they can make because they already went out of their way to implement a system like this for Triple Triad.

POTD is an instance. If all members DC then there is no reason to "pause" the instance and keep it open for a short time so one could log back in. Regular duties do this, why not POTD?

In all seriousness, I know it sucks. It's happened to me tons, because I've made many of my own attempts to floor 200.

I don't believe it will ever be changed though.

they can do it for trusts. At the very least, they could snapshot pomanders and timer at the start of each floor and on relogging, generate the level again. Or do it like dark souls where the layout is saved, but the mobs are reset

No. Necromancer is supposed to be hard, and the time limit reflects that.

While we are talking about things needed for POTD / HoH my biggest wish list item is more save files. I have a lot of friends that play at different days/times and it sucks having to tell some of them we can’t go because I have 2 files started with other people still.

They're doing this because you could easily abuse it. Alot of times you have to make a decision in the moment cuz you hit a luring trap for example. Then you have to decide what you're going to do in a split second. If you'd be able to pull your internet plug and not loose, you could just think about it while not being in there. Make a plan how you solve this etc.. That's why it's allowed in Trust, cuz no one cares about that. You can't get something prestigious in there. Potd clears, especially solo are meant to be super special. And they'll throw everything in your way to make it feel that way.

If we have the deal with the design that is not really solo friendly (especially PotD), at least, I wish we had more saving slots.
