A Deep Dungeon Possible Issue

[Frederick22]

Some of you may know your able to make your aether gear solidified so you can use it outside the dungeon, and to do that you need to get them to lvl 30. Now, I'm at 28 Arm, and 29 Armor. Which means the last floor is the only place I'l get my level up I need. Now say if rng was being a "Diadem" and you didn't level your gear once, in that place during that floor. If you continue onwards, well your gonna have to run it all over again to 1-10, BUT...if you leave the dungeon dooming your team members. you can have a noher shit at getting your levels you wanted.

Just so you know I never seen this happened, but the thought sparked in my head because this rng bs will make players wanna go "F*** this place!" That is all.

Also a quick non topic related question. Anyone know if the Return Cairnes (w/e) actually allow you to keep your gear levels? And also how the heck do they work? XD

I would hardly recomend you that dont do this, stoping the progress of random party memmbers on purpose is a great offense and it could have serious consequences.

You asked if people do this? well they do it, but the should never do it.
It happened to me. I was with on a party with random party members. We were on room 49 when one guy said to another one ( possible premade ) that he wasnt going to have the full upgrade on time and asked if we could wipe, the orther guy agreed and so he pulled everything he could and trigger the traps, we had no healers, both died really fast and me and the blm did our best to stay alive but we fail.

I reported this 2 guys, and I got an answer from a GW inmediatly, he told me that I did the right on reporting this. Stopping the progress of ramdom ppl on purpose is reportable.

So yea i sugguest you to do this with a premade but non random party memembers.

if you choose in progress on your duty finder it will indeed send you to a potd in progress instance, happened to me a few times now , once even in the middle of the last 50 boss fight, meh easy item at the end at least lol

Is this true, can someone confirm this?

1. It's not against ToS, so no consequences. 2. Blame developers, not players. Palace is even more boring and mindnumbling than Diadem. Of course everyone wants to get thier weapons asap and never come back. 3. You are such a nice person. If we ever meet, I'll be sure to mess with your "progress" somehow. Just for the sake of it.

If you do that I will report you, just how I did last time.
I repeat, GM showed up inmedeatly and gave me the full reason and that my report was justified.

Its more easy to just leave and eat penalty, so that way we can wait for orther people to join, dont you think?

Well if you're stating something along the lines in the game, then it immediately falls under the lines of griefing. They should've just left and took the penalty timer to avoid getting a warning on their account. Or used skype or something outside of the game. Very stupid on their part.

To honestly handle not just this issue but all dungeon leaving issues in general, they should just have a stacking leaving penalty like Smite has. If you leave during a match, you're marked as deserter and get the normal 30min penalty, but if you do it again then the penalty is multiplied by 4 I believe, so 2 hours then 8 hours etc. To make it worse, they could add the consequence of how Archeage does their jail time which is creates a period of time that the character has to remain online while in jail, so if you get 4 hours, you have to stay logged into that character for 4 hours until its gone.

my main concern is that u better get your weapons asap or u are doomed ,what will happen in a few when no1 is doing DD anymore ? =s , the place is far from soloable , and is a pain in the rear to solo it ...if SE want to fix something fix that ...because it was supposed to be a 1 to 4 man ....

Agree 100%. The time limit is too short as well, though most of the issues with solo mode can be fixed with scaling. tried soloing floors 11-20 on my blm and ran out the timer when I reached the boss. This could be easier if I have 30-30 aether gear but I didn't try it, may do so my next playthrough though.

i wanted to solo that place at my own pace...but solo is just isnt worth , the mobs and the bosses are the same , no matter if u go as 1 or 4 ....is more challenging , yeah and more infuriating ...solo needs less mobs , more time and being able to self rez once on cairn every 5 floors / 10 floors? , oh bosses i guess are impossible to solo on half the jobs... they hit hard , if u go as 4 dps isnt that bad since u burn it down...1 tank 3 dps , or 1 heal 3 dps is ok too no issues

I can definitely imagine people doing this at the 27/27 or 29/29 range.

While just leaving the duty and "screwing over" your party may be a dick move depending on the circumstance, there is no way it will have "serious consequences" purely because of the "may be" factor. Sometimes, people just have to suddenly leave a duty. They aren't just going to ban or otherwise punish players for that (other than with the DF lockout).
