Deep dungeon - hmmm

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

I love it! But as a MCH, I could only reach floor 10 solo, and just can't keep myself alive with only potions (brought Max Potions and X Potions with me).

SE? Hear that? The ONE JOB THAT CAN'T SELF HEAL isn't quite able to solo this. . . I mean sure, I doubt I'd have gone much further on my own anyways, but potions alone won't keep a solo player alive. Not against a boss.

So it's basically Aquapolis? Just fighting random things without objectives? I guess I'll take that over the alternative (just fighting with the content being the same thing every time), but I was hoping they'd actually put in Nyzul's random objectives. XI's equivalent was extra fun because it added objectives on the floors that was something besides just fighting.

Yeah it's basically aquapolis but it's a numbers game with gimmicks. The mobs aren't really threatening to a group of 4. The objectives are always the same, kill a bunch of mobs to activate the floor warp/rez shrine, look for chests for items/equipment upgrades. (You can even skip these if you wanted to) The thing that keeps you from low manning it easily is the time limit really. Bosses take a bit more effort. Solo is a bit tougher due to boss damage and time limit but if you can outlast them and do it quick enough it's probably doable.

I think they said floor 100+ will be harder so there's that.

Another faceroll dungeon? YAY! Please be happy or you're gonna be considered never satisfied!

That's disappointing. I was really hoping they'd add in some combat content finally that was just more than "fight things until they're all dead." Since it looked like it was drawing so heavily from Nyzul, I was hoping it would have Nyzul-style objectives. Oh well. I have friends I can do the content with, and at the end of the day, it is more interesting than regular dungeons. But it's still no Nyzul for variance.

Try lower level potions.
You need a specific minimum HP to get the full heal of them.

You can actually solo the boss. Though I did it on Bard, I didn't have my Second Wind. I made sure to use the damage buff and the defense buff. All I had were potions and I kited like my life depended on it! I did have a few close calls to dying (that dot is terrible), but I did it!

People asked for solo dungeons and dungeons with randomised patterns since years. SE deliver it and people complaining about it.

Correct we asked for a solo dungeon that was/is challenging, we did not ask for 2 - 6 boxes filled with mobs that have 2 mechanics and opening boxes. There's not much of randomness since it repeats already in the first 5 levels, the next 20 are the same thing.

this place is terrible. just terrible, it reminds me of running 4 player dungeons like usual, i mean sure theres a bit of RNG to spice it up but...once your gotten the items and seen what there is to see, thats it. it becomes, instead of "ooh thats cool" to "lets rush to the next floor already please"and if you die you have to restart from the lowest floor you saved at, which isnt entirely bad, except it saves absolutely nothing, and these floors take 40 to 50 minutes to get through at times if you have no healer, so if you die at floor 50 welp, u just wasted nearly an hour and u have nothing to show for it, hope you like wasting time. this is as someone said, the deep diadem, itll be dead within a week or two when everyone realizes its just a slightly fashionable dungeon run of trash pulls

After doing 20 floors, it's pretty much exactly what I said it'd be in other discussions; an area where you're fighting generic mobs that have telegraphs and cleaves, like we have been doing in dungeons and aquapolis.

But wait, there are arbitrary things that'll slow down your party, like a 30 second pacification+silence or damage down for the entire floor.

Yeah, I fared better my second time making use of Blank to interrupt his roomwide aoe.

I still like to get my digs in about MCH not having self heals though :P
