Heaven on High: That's it?

And let's not fogret that allag conquered the world

Having a mysterious ancient civilization that conquered the world before dying out lets you do a lot from a story perspective. Want to include some cool instance but have no way to justify it in the current setting? Allagans did it!

I was kind of disappointed that HoH was related to the Allagans, honestly. The story is so sparse it's hardly worth getting worked up over but I was hoping for some more Othardian/regional lore instead of more ancient Allagan tech with a secret group using/guarding it for their own ends.

To each their own I suppose, but since their conquest was enstablished in the story since ARR I'd say it's only logical to think that their shadow lingers deep in the world. Tbh It's interesting the fact that they are setting up a prophecy of a promised warrior and that is what HoH is for. Also makes me feeling less bad in helping the return of piracy in the ruby sea tbh

I legit didn't see the floor 30 boss die last night. It just sort of exploded...

Also casuals wanting more casual floors? Why? All you are gonna run is 21-30 just like all you ran for PotD was 51-60.

Not everyone would just run the same floors again and again, there are some of us who would love more casual floors for more variety because its already a bit boring to kill the same bosses again and again. Also imo the floors 31-50 still feel quite casual and not really a challenge at all. Heck even up to 70 is not that harsh. Only the floors from 71 on are a true challenge that can even hit you hard with full aether gear. So why not make it 50/50? Not only have casuals more floors but those who want a challenge dont have to go through 20 floors that are still not one..which makes it at least easier to try this with randoms because 70 floors is still quite the time sink and makes this quite hard with randoms. (While not being that hard until later floors..even though the 80 boss was really a joke and less dangerous than the 30...)

And what about the fact that you need to reach the 50th floor of the PoTD to have access to HoH ? That's so stupid...

As a newish player, this is a hard slap on the face.
I have not run PoTD because it is not a necessary for me yet. I was looking forward to finally do something on-release with friends. But I do not meet the requirement, instead forced to clear old optional content despite already work myself up to the max level.

Looking from the perspective of lore/story progression, I could probably accept whatever reason (spoilers maybe?) behind the lockout. Doesn't make me any less sad tho.

Clearing floor 50 of PotD likely won't take more than an hour depending on queue times. But it does boggle my mind why it's a requirement when the story is not connected to it at all.

They hint at PotD beign connected when the guy tells you about the enfebbling effect of HoH

The floor 30 "boss" is a reskinned Titan and the weapons are all reskins as well. It's getting exhausting seeing nothing but reskined or reused assets so often now.

Onishishu person: Its not Titan its....Sitan! See? So much cooler, see? He wears his loincloth on his head and everything! Not like Titan at all!

There were 0 unique models in PotD, all reused assets maybe they were better hidden but still nothing new

Making new assets means more resources, meaning less resources for other things. Deep dungeon likes to reuse assets because it makes sense lore wise, and saves on the contents resources
