Palace of the Dead

[Yoruichi4478]

Has Palace of the Dead disappointed anyone? Was anyone hoping it would be ffxiv's version of Nyzul Isle? Just curious what other players think of it and if they'd hoped it would be more or something else. Not trashing it, just curious.

I'm a bit dissapointed, not because the content is bad neccessarily... It just doesn't feel like endgame to me.... It just feels like a really easy way for people to get a lvl 235 weapon while pressing 1 or 2 buttons the whole time. As i said earlier there were already 30+ low level dungeons people could use to play with low level friends or w/e... This should have been endgame content IMO.

I understand that I could go in there solo and it would be more challenging and fun, but there's just simply nothing to gain from doing that. I might do it solo once, but that's about it.

It never was meant to be endgame content at all. The first 50 floors are merely an introduction to what will come in the later months. POTD has some randomized elements plus abolishes the trinity system, which makes it much easier for people to jump in and play rather than having to deal with scripted fights and needing certain roles.

When I saw the trailer I was thinking maybe a version of Nyzul Isle, but then again I'd thought Diadem wouldn't be what it turned to be either. So we'll see if SE gets the msg players are not happy with what they did get and see if anything comes of it.
I'd started my own thread about this after not seeing anything in the first two pages of threads in general discussion and someone was nice enough to link me to this thread but I am unable to delete my own thread I'd started before being told about this one. I can still delete posts but not my actual thread unless there's something I'm missing.

I don't remember reading it would be limited to first 50 floors. Unlimited, endless words where thrown around right? That saying I have only completed it 3 times week of release and never went back.

yeah didn't see it after looking through the first 2 pages of threads relax.

No biggie! There's just been alot of threads of the same thing lately and many posters want things in one thread.

I am very happy to have Palace of the Dead content.

I got BLM from 51 to 60 in half the time roulettes and regular dungeons take. on top of that, floors 1 to 30 are, literally, a cake walk.

I also got WHM from 45 to 50 and DRK from 50 to almost 52 and got an ilvl 235 wep for my main DRG. Working on a second one right now. I am enjoying it. It's another added thing to take your mind off running roulettes.

Got 7 of 10 potshards too so, im really excited to get that mount or whatever. By then I am 100% sure my DRK will hit 60. Easily.

I am not disappointed because this is 1-50 and just basically an introduction to PotD. I expect 51-100 and 101-200 to offer up some different challenges and objectives similar to Nyzul, but hopefully no lamp floors... please no lamps...
