[SaitoHajime]

Uggggggh still can't trade in Fiend Totems for a warring lanner please just end my pain

probably wont happen til .5 when The next primal is out.

[Annah]

Actually, to be honest. I like this part.

I would rather do the challenging content with a fixed party than with a group of random people who won't / can't work together.

agreed. This should help with the mindless high level face pulls

[Spawnie]

Changed my mind after few potd runs lol. .. people are treating it like 1 to 10 ._. Saw a tank with 3% hp run into room n aoe all the mobs lmao

Indeed, I do not mind the whole "zero KO" part, but having to find 3 other players and starting from floor 1 and you need to stick with those players from start to finish and if 1 of them dies you have to start from the begining, is a little a too much.

which now means that you have to start from 1 again to even get the chance to try out 101

Based off of the patch notes, you can also get to 101+ if you start from level 51.

My issue lies in this qoute

"Floor 100 and Beyond

While floors up to 100 are related to the story of the Palace of the Dead, all floors after were created strictly as a challenge for players. For this reason, you cannot enter floors beyond 100 with a matched party.
Furthermore, players must meet the following requirements to challenge these floors:

Start from floor 1 or floor 51 with a fixed party and clear up to floor 100.
Party KO count must be zero."

Not have a single KO? That is a bit excessive in my eyes, it's not impossible, and going 1-50 with prebuilt team is fairly easy, but from my understanding 51-100 is supposed to be much more difficult, I'd say having 3 or more KOs lock you out of floors beyond 100.

No my friend, that's not excessive. That my friend is a challenge.

[dejiko_san]

what i also wonder is if you can skip 1-50 if you are currently 0/0 and if so if it is even feasible or if you end up being a burden to the party

In the current system, if your progress didn't match your team mates and you tried to queue, you got an error message that someone didn't have a corresponding save slot.

[Jandor]

No my friend, that's not excessive. That my friend is a challenge.

Also a misunderstanding I think.

It means if the entire party is KO'd, not a party member being KO'd.
If you wipe on floor 124 for example, you don't start again from 121, you start from 51. To prevent trying to cheese pomanders and layouts I assume.

Indeed, I do not mind the whole "zero KO" part, but having to find 3 other players and starting from floor 1 and you need to stick with those players from start to finish and if 1 of them dies you have to start from the begining, is a little a too much.

It's not if one of them dies. A party-KO is if everyone in the party dies. If it was just from a single person getting KOed then it would make the new auto-raise pomander useless...

The purpose of this is to turn the 101+ floors into a proper roguelike dungeon. If you wipe, that's it, you're done and have to start again from the beginning.

[NefarioCall]

Forced fixed party still stinks.
I look forward to making a party finder, getting all the way to floor 150, and then having someone say, sorry, gotta go bye!
And that would be FINE ... if we could replace them...

[Beckett]

Are achievements retroactive?

If I've already cleared an achievement in the past, before the achievement was added to the game, will I automatically receive the achievement when I log in?

I am asking because I've already cleared floors 1-50 solo.

The way new achievements usually work is that you need to do the task one more time in order to unlock them. For example, if they added an achievement for "Complete Sastasha 5,000 times" and you had already completed Sastasha 7,136 times, you would still need to complete it one more time in order for the achievement to unlock, even though you should already be eligible for it.

For the "Clear the 1st through the 50th floors of the Palace of the Dead solo." achievement, it is pretty much a guarantee that you won't unlock those simply by logging in after the patch. In the best case scenario, you might be able to unlock it by continuing a solo level 50 save and completing floors 51-60.
