I am disappointed with Deep Dungeon

[LunaFaye]

Is it possible to see the weapon/armor stats outside of the palace?

are you talking about the stats of the weapon after getting it to 30/30 and using it outside? Click here
Armor can't be used outside the dungeon itself, it's weapon only.

If you're talking about progression wise, the only time you can see what stats you have on your armor/weapon, go to the npc click enter the palace of the dead, take a look at the blue window that opens up.

It would not surprise me if armour was going to be the aim for lvls 51-200. Anyway, we will see.

Now to the recent changes in PotD:
They have improved things, but people are still leaving at lvl 49 even though they would get the boss +1/+1.

Happened earlier today with someone who had got nothing lvls 41-49 - they just quit.
The fact that rng is there means we will still get people deserting groups if they have not got the amount of arm/gear lvls they where hoping for.

I'm disappointed with it, I'd hoped it would be more and less of yet another grind from SE. I was hoping for more of a Nyzul Isle type place tbh. I don't know if it's even worth spamming because I don't see the rewards atm worth the time and grind.

I really just hate the RNG part. I could see if the +1/+1 thing happened on 40 and 50 but the fact that I'm still on 27/30 after whats now 8 full runs has gotten old.

Example of today and yesterday. Its just not fun to be at 26, get nothing on the floors 1-49 but hey the 50 boss gives +1/+1 to get to 27. Do a run up to 41 and still not another upgrade so now I'm farming the boss again to get myself to 28/30. That's just downright terrible.

Floor 1-10 is 16min
Floor 11-20 is 20min
Floor 21-30 is 25min
Floor 31-40 is 30-40min depending on if groups bypass stuff.
Floor 41-50 is 35-50 depend on the group.

That means I've now wasted several hours just to get +1 since I only get it on the 50 boss. wtf. I might as well do what other players do and just abandon until I get something good because having to farm the lower levels which I know won't get me anything is terrible.

Ya without reading up on it. I thought it was going to be like some horde mode. I do like the lvling part on it.... Since i took a break and have a few left over jobs. Doing it with my fc friends with ts while talking/goofing of made it more fun. It is missing something to it.. Not great, not piss poor for me. Its meh

I feel Deep Dungeon has a good foundation to build upon. What I'm hoping is the next tier of floors will focus more on objectives, traps and possibly mini bosses to keep things fresh. Releveling was fun this go around, but I'd be lying if I said floors 1-20 (even 21-30) become increasingly tedious the more I run them.

[KuraiKiserogeru]

What I find silly is that those who wipe the group, or leave before the boss, or vote abandon do not understand one simple thing:

Killing the boss does not save progress. Using the exit portal saves progress.

They can go all the way to floor 50, kill the boss, and if they did not get any upgrades in the run just leave without using the exit portal. Progress wont be saved and they can continue running 41-50 trying to get an upgrade. While those who did get an upgrade can save their progress.

This method is still working with the newest patch?

You can get upgrades from floor 21 onwards. I know because I went from 29/30 to 30/30 between floors 21 and 24. It's just a matter of luck. But if you reset progress you have 20 more floors to try your luck with than if you just did 41-50 again.

Upgrades anywhere is possible now. I hit a +30 on floors 1-10. In fact, it was even a +3 upgrade ("Your aetherpool armor flares...")

But yeah, odds are still best on 41-50, and guaranteed +1 on the boss is not going to make some people give up crappy 41-49 runs, just as I predicted.

Nice! Yeah the odds are the best the higher you go but IMO it's still stupid to give up so many chances for upgrades and throw away the work for 41-49 if one doesn't happen to get the exact amount of upgrades they needed that time. Using IcyNeko's clear times it took me less time to get to floor 24 where I noticed the upgrade than it would have been to clear floors 41-50 again.

Those run times are pretty long, I guess people still killing everything and not just hunting chests?

Majority of the primal data center just skips and kills what aggros. Very rarely do I run into a kill all group after 21 now-a-days and run times are cut significantly.

This place is nice for leveling, went 50 NIN and 50 DRG to 60 with however this content has been out, this has got me two padjali weapons in the process, 5 mil worth of materia, and some funny screenshots.

all of this done while playing this super casually cause of life stuff, but it's all perception. I use this content as a means to level alts, save myself from the amazing gear clutter dungeon running gives me, and some nice bonus rewards to go with my new 60, I have taken a small break though to gear my NIN in Proto-midan gear but this last bolt...
