[Dev question] Do you know about the player devision in palace of the dead?

[Zigabar]

Oh, this again. My thoughts have always been 51-60 just expect speedrunning. Most speedrunners stay to those floors. If they're going beyond floor 60, they're doing it wrong, anyways. 61-100 expect to search for chests, for reasons above.

[Poll]

Part I

-How many times do you do PotD (Floors 51+) in a week and how many floor brackets do yo do?

About 8-10 floor brackets (51-60) a night.

-Following the above question, how many people do openly speak up about wanting to speedrun and if so, which floor brackets do you most encounter them in?

Almost never. Maybe once a week on floor 51.

-By that same note, how many people do openly speak up about wanting silver chests and/or explore all rooms and if so, which floor brackets do you most encounter them in?

Almost never. I've been doing my 8-10 runs a night for almost 2 months now and only had one instance where 2 people spoke up about wanting a chest run. We could not agree on a path, resulting in a kick. But, no one spoke up in the beginning that they wanted it. The chest runners waited until floor 54 to speak up in a hostile manner.

-From a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being extremely satisfied and 1 being extremely unsatisfied, how would you rate your overall weekly completions of floor brackets:

A) 51-60 (5)
B) 61-70 (0)*
C) 71-80 (0)
D) 81-90 (0)
E) 91-100 (0)

*I don't enter floor brackets passed floor 60, as I don't feel like speedrunners belong there. Exp vs. time and all.

Part II

-When no one speaks up, list your main preferred or habitual style of PotD play

*Pure speedrun, kill only what needs to be killed to get passage open, no chests
^ This is my main go to.

*Mixed speedrun, killing only what needs to be killed but pick chests if they're in the same room
^ I will pluck silver chests in the room if anyone in the party is not 99/99.

*Pure chestrun, avoiding most monsters if possible to get all chests, then killing to progress

*Mixed chestrun, going after easy chests if possible but killing things along the way as well

*Whatever mood fits (other. pls describe)


-When someone requests any of the above playstyles, do you comply:

-Every time?
No.
-Sometimes?
Kind of. If they're stealthily checking the extra rooms and bringing a few additional trash mobs back to the passage, I will assist.
-Almost never?
King of. See above.
-At a whim?
See above.
-If the majority also agrees?
Yes, since this happens to be in my favor most of the time.
-If the majority does not agree?
I've never been on the wrong side of the majority, so, no? If I'm ever in that situation, I'd imagine I would sit at the open passage hoping for a kick.


-Do you request a preferred style in PotD? If so, how many times a week?
Never.
-By that same note, how many times does at least one party member complies with your request in a week?
N/A
-Have you ever wanted to kick someone because they did not comply?
Yes.
-Have you ever actually kicked someone because they did not comply?
Yes.

Part III

-Do you have a pet peeve in PoTD, aside from what might have been mentioned in the previous parts of the questionnaire? If so, how do you deal with it?

Players pulling mimics from another room and bringing it to the group. I'll wait until they get Pox before engaging, unless I can safely assume the mimic will die before the cast.

-If you could improve PotD in anyway, pls check the following (multiple answers eligible)
*Exp increase
*Exp decrease
*Monster increase
*Monster decrease
*Increased silver chests
*Decreased silver chests
*Increased aethergear gain rate
*Decreased aethergear gain rate
*Easier progression
*Harder progression
*Other (pls explain)

I like POTD the way it is.
