    Even the 80th floor boss isn't impossible. Tanks can cheat the wipe if they can't burn down the last 10%, and anyone can technically survive it with the new pomander I believe.
    About the only things I can think to request to make things more manageable would be a status cleansing item for pacification and stronger potions, but even without that it should be perfectly doable with proper preparation and a little bit of luck.

    Well but as soon as you wipe once even if you use the pomander to get rezzed again it counts as a K.O. so it would restrict 101+.
    Welp I looked at reddit and someone already solo'ed it with dragoon so it seems its time for me to git gud.*laugh*

    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    The KO counter is for actual wipes to my understanding, not singular deaths.

    The environments are much cooler and make you feel like you're in an underground palace. The music is always great, and getting arm/armor upgrades seems a hell of a lot easier now. Before the patch, I'd run across 20 silver chests and never get a single upgrade. Now it seems like the chest either gives you an upgrade or it explodes lol a welcome addition imo.
    Now for the cons. Some friends and I ventured beyond floor 100 and we're currently at 130 without any wipes. But floors 100 and up, for now, feel exactly the same as floors 1-100. I had hoped for some sort of puzzles or mobs with interesting mechanics, but it seems like they're just mobs that hit a little harder and have a bit more hp. That's a bit disappointing to me because I feel that there's a lot they could do to make it more challenging. And also, they shouldn't have bothered giving potd a "story" at all. It could have been really cool, but all the story comes from the final cutscene after you beat 100. By that time, you have no investment in the story at all.
    Overall, it's fun and I like many of the changes made. But I still feel like there's a lot more they could do with this setting.

    It feels exactly the same as 1-50... which makes sense, because that's what it is, just with a different coat of paint.

    It's not the worst thing they've ever added, but it doesn't hold my interest for long either.

    You know after some thinking the 0 K.O would be fine but only if the DC's don't count..I am not really sure whats up with the servers but I randomly disconnected four times yesterday..once in a floor 20+ solo run...since you are directly kicked out of the palace it will count as a k.o..which means that if you get kicked from the game on floor 99 in a solo run you will have a nice little k.o in your save data and have to start again. Its already annoying if you die to monsters but having to start again from 51 because of the server or maybe your own connection (so out of your hand) makes this truly frustrating...

    Not quiet about the new floors, but the general update to the 8bit menus. More specifically about the character/item menu that now "greys out" when using a pom. Very VERY annoying! Having to click the window again just to dismiss it... why did we need this "fix" again? Wasn't it good enough before?
    I have that window disabled and only use it when I want to use a pom. So having this thing still on screen but inactive so I have to click all the way through (PS4) to activate it just so I can close it is... awful. Was fine before imo. Want it on your screen always? Click the lock button. Don't want it? Close it. Please revert this :/

    Does a death actually affect the solo run achievement? Somewhere on Reddit I read that it doesn't.

    How hard are they?
    It can get pretty intense, one wrong move can cause a wipe easily x.x
