How are you liking Pilgrims Traverse?

[Luluna]

I am enjoying it I have tried some of the later floors and found some of the mobs just end me haha even in a party. I am unsure if it is bad positioning by the tank or me just needing to learn more and improve, but on dancer I was toast.

I also have had a lot of fun with random players and had a really great run with a few people who where just there to have fun and we all died a few times but somehow the paladin managed to get us all back up, so thank you<3

I think the weapons are a bit bland but the rewards if you get lucky are great. The design of some of the floors are really nice and I love the super fast sprint I wish we could use that all the time lol. The first boss was annoying as I do sometimes struggle with the bright colours on the floor but overall having fun

As for the 'oh everything oneshots you' thing. Nothing that isn't mechanical failure can oneshot you. Admittedly, your comp determines how much of the mob patterns you need to memorize, and Succubus appears to use server ticks to murder you even when you stand still during pyretic, but everything else is fine. If you have a tank, you can still do classic big pulls if they know what/when to stun, and get healed. If you have no tank, you pick them off one by one or abuse Witching to facilitate bigger pulls. Not managing that is, indeed, a skill issue.

I think blaming it on the server tick is a skill issue and a mechanical failure of understanding how snapshots work in this game

I tried going solo and got killed by the stage 10 boss. Kinda lost my motivation after that. :')
Maybe I’ll try again later.

But I’ve already heard later it’s full of one-shot mechanics, and I really dislike that. For me, that’s not “hard”.
It’s just a lazy way to create artificial difficulty. I stopped playing Eureka Orthos because of that in the past.

I was the same solo with that boss but as I improved my armour and weapons it got easier but still bit dicey.

The one shot is annoying on the later floors does annoy me. I would love to solo some of it I guess as more guides come out I will try and clue myself up. I found potd much easier to solo.

I did it one more time and could beat it. And I am not against such a little dps check at all. But I think it was a bad idea to do this on stage 10, where people first time start 1-10 with no gear buffs. :')

So this is coming from someone that has only managed to do Floors 1 through 30 so far and has only done up to Floor 50 in both Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High, so my word may not be taken as much as others when it comes to feedback on this content. In terms of the ambiance and layout of this Deep Dungeon, this is easily my favorite so far. The aesthetics just appeal to me and having a rotation of Shadowbringers music (with a few bonus EW tracks thrown in) makes it really nice to just go through the content compared to the other Deep Dungeons in the game so far. On that front, I have to give it a 10/10, because even with how much I struggle with this content, so far I haven't gotten frustrated enough to quit yet and the setting of the Deep Dungeon has helped a lot.

Now in terms of gameplay, this of course is has the same mechanics as other Deep Dungeons and I have always been frustrated with the Aetherpool System due to my poor RNG luck where by the time I am clearing the story required floor 30, I am normally only at 20/20 Aetherpool at best. Now I don't know if the RNG has simply been better this go around or if they tweaked the numbers, but since I managed to end at 32/23 after my first run, but that particular annoyance has been less noticeable. And of the three bosses I've fought so far, while they do have mechanics that I am still struggling to learn the proper tell for (looking at you Floor 30 boss and your hands), they don't seem like unfair mechanics like I have seen in other fights. And then we have the DD Design itself with traps, gloom, buffs, etc. Now I know the new candle mechanic only provides beneficial buffs from floors 1 to 30 so I have yet to see the downsides of using that system, but that candle has alleviated so much pressure during these runs I've been doing. That combined with the new checkpoint system (which I haven't been able to take advantage of yet but I know it'll be a godsend), this has actually gotten me to like Deep Dungeons where the only reason I had done them was for the Ultimog Challenge back during 7.1.

So I'd have to give the Deep Dungeon an 8/10 with what I've experienced of it so far. Now that is definitely liable to change once I start experiencing the later floors first hand, but so far, this content is a success for me.

Not even worth subbing for.

Just like the rest of the game then. Especially with the cheats ("plugins") now slowly seeping into even casual content. Next time I see someone in a 4-man instantly move to a spot that is impossible to know without watching the mechanic unfold I'll honestly alt f4 and uninstall.

I am always dead so doubt anyone would see me doing that hahaha. I do see it though and it is annoying because when I am dead I think shit am I that bad but then I remember there are some who do use things to make it easy street.

Tried it chill, it's nice and there's some "Oh, that's cool", but nothing to really write home about.

Still largely a feeling that this 'game' feels more like an algorithm than it does an actual game.
