Request: Please tone down PoTD Solo 181+. My experience and partial rant.

[LianaThorne]

Hello, I hope people don't mind if I make this topic relevant again because I do believe POTD has a lot of issues compared to HoH.

Given this is from the stormblood era (this particular topic), but the problems listed are still a problem as of 2022, and I've been pretty irritated after all these years nothing has been done about it. I don't mind a challenge myself, but POTD has the problem of going overboard in everything damage and Monsters have tons of defense (this wouldn't be a problem if it were not for the limited selection of Job Skill Rotations), and I really don't like the fact how much of a tight DPS check that 180 boss has for solo runs and the insane gymnastics you have to do with the 190 boss (because if you screw up once you're dead since that boss hits like a truck).

It can take a day or two just to get back to those floors if you failed (depending how much free time you have), and that is pretty annoying compared to HoH.

There is also the matter of the outdated pomander selection, compared to HoH which is actually way more balanced for solo runs but the old original POTD pomanders are very unbalanced and with combined with bad RNG you better be praying to RNGesus.

It would be nice if the Devs. imported the changes from HOH into POTD just so its not some anxiety run from 1 to 200.

I tried for so long clearing POTD, but I just can't see myself doing it without extreme luck.

Edit -

Another reason I like to make this relevant again because if the next new deep dungeon ends up having the same issues then they're not listening to the playerbase.

Would prefer not to nerf PoTD tbh. Necromancer is an extremely hard to get title for a reason and to nerf PoTD would kinda nerf the value of it. Can we please leave one of the few remaining bits of challenging content in the game alone and just see what they do with the new one first? Maybe it'll be so braindead we can all complete it within a day or two.

Agreed! I've been preparing to attempt to get it for a few months now (It's only taken so long cuz I've been too lazy to finally max MCH) but I would be somewhat devastated if they were to nerf it before I got the chance to obtain it.
