PLEASE have some sort of balance in PotD? Introduce some sort of checkpoint system.

Considering this was seperate content to floors 1 to 100, the party should only return to 100 if they wipe not 51.

So i spent the today trying to complete palace with my friends, furthest we got was floor 180+ this took around 9 + hours of play.

I mean PotD had checkpoints, if you die on floor 50 you return back to floor 40-50 so why not add some sort of checkpoint for the new one? cos let me tell you, wiping for 1 bad mistake to loose 150 floors its pretty soul destroying. I know the challenge is to not die but still, going back 50 floors seem a little bit better than going back the entire dungeon. :3

Damn! It takes 9 hours to get to 180! Yeah, we need a check point. No way in Hell can I stay playing 9+ hours nonstop like that. I got things to do other than this game. I play for leisure not for torture. I want to finish POTD, but not if its like this. It's my favorite content, but I have a life outside FFXIV and can't be glued to the screen like this.

And that's why it has a save feature.

You do realize that 1-100 is story related and the floors above that is hardcore/savage type content right? If you are too casual or not skilled enough, it was not intended for you. It has been said numerous times that this was made to be very difficult content for dedicated players.

Christ. The one source of challenge in this game outside of Savage, and people are already crying for it to be nerfed to the ground. It's SUPPOSED TO BE A CHALLENGE. The story ends at 100. They've repeatedly said that the last 100 floors were supposed to be for the more competent crowd, and everyone looking for content with story and plot could stop at 100.

Spot on. Beat me to saying this.

Yup, because not even taking into consideration that even having one ISP hiccup resulting in a possible wipe and losing all progress is totally a challenge.

There are issues that players can't control that can completely ruin a run, aside from ISP issues, both pc and ps4 players can have a system crash, windows update could cause issues for pc players, psn could go down for the 88th billion time, and even power outages, are all issues I've heard and read people dealing with inside 101+

Implying the content has no flaws within its design and having zero ways to save progress in the event things happen that players can't forsee, is down right ridiculous.

Back when I was a kid and the batteries on my Game Boy ran out without me saving the game, I didn't cry. I started over again. (And yeah, it happened at pretty random times too because as a kid I didn't worry about battery life, I just wanted to play!)
I wish today's players could go back to just sucking it up instead of complaining about everything.

Meanwhile, I am glad that people grew up enough to realize that things can be changed for the better and are motivated to do so, even if they typically limit their actions to complaining about it.
