Palace of the Dead

[XiXiQ]

it's got a lot of things going for it, like not needing the usual party so no queing issues, very good for a refresher or practice on a class/job. With a few tweaks it could make very good solo content content as well. (I like to do some solo runs, but the rewards are painfully slow going that way vs using a group). I like the fact solo requires a little bit of thought and tactics. It's also good to have a reasonable level weapon not tied to the EXes for a change.

Even if it was just an introduction, they should've worked on it better so Palace of the Dead would leave a good impression on people for them to look forward on the next new floors.

I'm slightly disappointed since it's been pretty boring to me. There's not much randomness in it either. While the floors shift, traps shift and some dead NPCs might pop up, the setting and monsters don't really change much every 9 floors. There's not much else but killing trash mobs (which I find not very fun or challenging) and hunting for treasure chests. There's no neat things like events, doing puzzles, creating strategies, unique combat objectives, non-combat objectives etc.
I'm not saying it's entirely bad but it can honestly be much, much better. I even prefer this over doing DF dungeons (because of my gripes over those dungeon designs) even as it is right now.

Maybe I expect too much but hopefully the next additions are more interesting.
