    I am pretty sure SE said that soloing PotD would be very difficult and only players who want a tough challenge should try it....if you think its too hard and or too painful to try solo only to fail on a floor and have to retry then it isn't really something you should be trying to solo...you should get a group to go with.

    It seems like solo is more difficult depending on the RNG of the floor composition and also you need to strategize time versus exp/rewards and decide whether or not to explore the whole floor or take a loss in exp/rewards to save time if you are behind on schedule.

    You also may need to use two save slots if you really want to solo in order to get more chances at silver boxes that upgrade your weapon and armor.

    Someone didn't read what I said (also I didn't directly quote you so I am not sure why you assume I am directly taking to you). I am saying the time restraint is part of the difficulty. I guess I should have made myself more clear? I never said you didn't try to manage your time if you notice since I wasn't even directly talking to you.

    Be rude if you want by saying I didn't read; are you really that mad you cannot solo it? Also my response was not entirely directed towards you since I didn't quote you it was a general statement in response to some of the posts in here. Some people in this thread have said dying and having to restart is mean or a put off. It's why I said that SE said already this would be difficult to solo so if it is a put off or you hate failing after doing so many floors only to have to restart that you shouldn't try to solo...I mean you are taking the risk of your own free will if you hate it go with a group.

    You said you tried to skip boxes and manage your time but how do you know you did it to high efficiency? This content just started today and I doubt you or I know all the tricks and best item usage. It seems quick to give up when SE specifically said it would be difficult to solo. Maybe it is impossible to solo certain floors until you level up your weapon and armor to max but don't know until you keep trying, but that is part of the challenge of it.. RNG probably has a factor also and if you want to minimize it going with a group is safer.

    TL;DR - I never said you didn't try to manage your time (since I wasn't directly talking to you anyway). All I said was time is part of the difficulty and it may take more than the first day of release to learn to manage it properly to solo effectively. Or may need to use two save slots to increase armor/weapon.
