I'd like every boss to be randomized so i dont see the same idiot everytime i do 1-10 >.>

Eh, that would honestly be a waste, the bosses are already a curbstomp, it be a waste just to make random bosses that would go down as fast. It would work for floors 100+ to add to the difficulty of it, but I doubt we'll see random bosses from the lower floors.

Accursed Horde has a chance to explode or be a mimic.

That might kill off any real interest in the dungeon. It's bad enough with the RNG as it is, maybe have a chest just sitting in the world and it having a higher than average chance of being an accursed hoard or some kind of more powerful mimic.

Killing the Uber Mimic gives something worth the risk; not just more freaking potions 90% of the time....

I wouldn't mind an accursed horde behing a mimic if it removed or lessened the RNG... say, an accursed mimic's hoard would ALWAYS be a grade 5 or other cosmetics they add or whatnot. you wouldn't know which sack was the good one, but you'd KNOW one of them is. heck, they could even have accursed mimic hoards dip into aquapolis rewards

I'm genuinely surprised the amount of "instant reset" people are suggesting. "hardcore" doesn't mean "unfair" people. imagine the possible rewards they would add possibly tied to relevant 60 content. do you REALLY want to spend 30+ minutes to go 9 floors down and someone hits an invisible "back to floor 1" trap? is that FUN somehow?I mean, let's make it ultimate hardcore. each floor's boss are past Raid bosses. copy-pasted. sure, make it FAIR for those casuals and make it DOABLE for 4 people, sure. oh, and if you die to them, your aetherpool is reset back to 0. you lost, enjoy the climb back up.

In all seriousness, at the very least, PtoD as it is now and as it was released was not designed AS or FOR "hardcore". What kind of backwards design is that? it opens up at level 17... 17! is copperbell mines the new standard of entry for hardcore now?
SE would have to bar higher floors behind level 60 at least if "hardcore" would even begin to be a possibility. at best we can assume that floors 51+ will require completion of the floor 50 quest which requires tam-tara hard mode completed...

A trap that summons a doppelganger of every party member.

Let us bring in our Chocobos! We've spent so much time leveling them up, it would be great to finally get to bring them into a dungeon, even if it is just PotD.

I blame Gordias Savage for this mentality :P

On-topic, I have a few more suggestions:

• A set of rare floor effects that ensure every mob drops chests of a certain rank. (one for wood (potions), Gold (Pomanders) and Platinum (Aetherpool upgrades), Using Pomanders of Fortune will increase the Rank, and there is still a chance mobs will drop higher rank chests on floors with the Wood or Gold versions of this effect.
• Pomander of Magnetism: A Pomander that ensures that Platinum chests do not fail on the current floor (as in every chest will increase the Arms/Armor points as long as they aren't at the cap)
• Pomander of Luring: Works just like the Luring traps. But will summon the Pygmaloi or Mimic mobs in rooms with them (even if they were killed), It also has a chance of summoning the Deceased NPC mobs in a room with another Deceased NPC.
• A Boss whose gimmick is summoning the aforementioned Deceased NPCs as adds, who must be killed again before the boss can be defeated. The mobs can be taken from the Current pool as well as include NPCs that perished in the Calamity or the MSQ (With the exclusion of Ysayle, Hauchefaunt, Moenbryda, Noraxia, Ritayan, Livia, Gaius, Xande, Louisoux and Nael. Save for a possible reappearance in the later 100 floors. [reasons include spoilers and that I think one must die with regrets to be able to turn into the undead NPCs we fight there])
• As a boss...Ratatoskr. Surely the dragon whose death started the Dragonsong war and caused her broodbrothers to be reclusive or vengeance driving would have some regrets (yes also spoilers. Though they might gate floors 50-100 behind Heavensward purchase)
• Some Boss dialogue that goes into detail on the Void, either hinting at certain things in the Lorebook or bringing new details to light.

More colorful/theme room styles.
The current rooms are dull.
