    Just cleared floor 90. I have to say that I found 51-60 and 61-70 easy. 71-80 turned vicious. 81-90 is, for the most part, easier than 71-80, BUT:

    Flame Dragons.

    Good God flame dragons. They see you through the wall from the next room over, and kill you THROUGH THE WALL from the next room with an almost always one-shot fireball. (And if you survive the 1st one, they'll often immediately shoot another.) I guess there's a warning marker on the ground, but there must be a glitch for some people because I never once saw it.

    Really? I founf floors 50-60 to be harder, but then again not starting with 30/30 might had been a large factor.

    There should be a normal aoe circle on the ground, in my runs we never had any problem to evade them (they are rather small) so i don't think you would have any problem with fire dragons if the markers would be visible for you. Do you have problems seeing other aoes?

    Yeah, this was exactly my problem. No aoe circle for fireball. All the other aoe markers showed up just fine for me, and I assume the other three in my group were seeing the fireball markers, since they were okay, but I got absolutely no warning whatsoever. Interestingly, the dark dragons on 91-100 did give me the warning markers so I was okay with them. HOPEFULLY it was a one-time glitch in my u.i. I'll be taking my 2nd run on 81-90 here shortly so we'll see. Either way I'll report in here and turn in a glitch report if it's still happening.

    Okay so I'll update, just ran 81-90 for the 2nd time, fireball warning markers showed up this time and as you say, with the proper warning I was able to dodge all of them. Interestingly, when we got to the boss I discovered that it must have been acting up on my first run as well; I got ground markers for sap and the add's self destruct when I saw none the first time through. Made it much easier

    I like the new PotD, I really do. I went through 50-100 on a matched party because my friends aren’t that into it at the moment (looking at you, new relic stage ¬_¬) and it was cute having to guess mechanics on bosses because most of the teams I went in with where new. My only gripe would be that I can’t go any further than floor 100 on a matched queue though – I hope that they change that.
