POTD floor 200 solo

[Jelly_Baby]

Dear SE please either give us the chance to get back into the instance if we are kicked (like it will only close after 5-10 minutes) or make it so that you can have at least like 3 "deaths"

As much as I want it this to happen as well, how would SE distinguish between a legitimate disconnection to someone forcibly disconnected because they were about to die?

They would not be able to distinguish it but they should simply put us back to where we were and if someone disconnected because they were attacked by monster they would still be attacked by monsters thus most of the time die anyway. Also I do believe that this would benefit more people that had it happen without their doing than people truly forcing one.

maybe it's time let us restart at every 10th floor like we can from 1-100. then we don't lose our whole progress at a dc and we have as many tries as we want to reach floor 200 without wasting countless hours in the lower floors.

That would be a bit much I think but I would like at least some protect from DC (had just one after 79 floors. It really takes away the fun in the game..And this was from a file that I only wanted to use to level the job). Maybe have it so that you can go back to the floor if you log in the next 2-3 minutes. And maybe for 100+ give us some kind of scroll that let us start for like three times at 101 until one has to go back to <100 again. This would help greatly with training in the higher floors.

And make it even possible to beat those bosses solo x) otherwise such a title is completely useless.

... on top of that you have the horrible DC problem...

That made me stop even trying to solo potd. At least for now. What's the point on trying something that can be ruined so easily not by mistakes or bad planning, but by a server that decided to kick you out the game for any reason and you see weeks of work vanished.

Yep, weeks: 200 floors are 20 hours of play time, if you want do a set of floors daily, they are three weeks of daily effort. The feeling when after two weeks and half you are kicked out by the server just to return a minute later with hope but facing then your KO isn't that great.

Edit: on second tought, being able to run 16 consecutive sessions without being kicked out, is an achievement by itself lolol!!!11!

Isn't there a title if you do solo all the floors? I wish I was good enough to get that far :3

Yes, "The Necromancer" but you cannot die or DC once, and as stated in this forum it would take roughly 20 hours of no DC's to do that. Highest anyone got per the POTD stats page is upper 180s solo

its 190 already

[UnstablePersonality]

its 190 already

And I'm sure by now we all saw how that went #2shotbyboss

[Alleo]

Yes the 5 seconds on the 190. If we get a bit nit picky the highest solo killed boss is still 180 and probably will stay that way for a long time or even forever. (Depending if they do something or not)

@LalaRu: I agree. It seems that I am a bit of a masochist so I tried it again yesterday...and was kicked on floor 79 thanks to the server...I truly did rage quit FF14 for the day and decided to play Rift..really..these DCs suck out any motivation to play FF14 at all. Next to gathering and crafting, the palace was one of the things that I would love to throw myself at..but its frustrating me more and more..I am not even looking forward to the new deep dungeon in a few months..because if they dont change anything it will end the same way.
