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

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.

When we first wiped, we thought we would of just returned back to floor 150, or even floor 100. We were shocked to find out if you die, its all over lol. We were really disappointed because we wasted so much time grinding this hoping to just complete it, I think one party wipe and its all done and finished is quite harsh.

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. The party is premade, the classes are set give us a checkpoint with the same party, that same class from floor 51, 101, 151. 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

discuss \o/

Disclaimer: I am not saying the content is too difficult lol, i dont think anything should change as far as difficulty, i just *wish* we didnt have to waste time doing pointless 51-100 everytime in the same party. Would be cool if as a premade party with fixed classes, and you clear floor 100, you can start at floor 100 even if you unfortunately wipe, on the same save slot. This is just my opinion damn haha - hands cookies to all the angry ppl -

What does this have to do with balance?

[Blood-Aki]

Well it's for the players who want more challenge, the failing is the challenge, it's like in the old school game days where if you died you had to start the entire game over, if it didn't have the fear of failure then it would just be a continuation of the normal floors.

So needless to say you have to be more careful.

Yeah getting one shotted and having to redo 130 floors is awful, but just save raising poms and keep one on for the dangerous floors for when catastrophe strikes as a safeguard.

My gf and I have been farming the gold sacks as a duo and it takes like 6+ hours to get back up to 150 to do up to 170 and reset. 180 boss is a pain for 2 players to do consistently because of the soft enrage so we just reset.

Checkpoints would be nice but I doubt they will do it right now. Maybe when the content is dead.

I do think it would be lame if you dced or the server went down and you lost all those floors though. At least our characters don't get deleted like D3 HC.

its pretty soul destroying.

I think that's the point.

I think it would have been better that once you unlock 101-200 you can start from there since its the beginning of the challenge floors. Still if you die, you have to start from 101 again.

I feel your pain, we got to 170 and wiped (we didn't have a tank so the sudden cleaves were a surprise) we were unlucky and didn't get any gold bags too.

I think they will nerf it in the future like they always do, and allow us to begin at higher floors int he event of a wipe.

Until then... our 4 man static will try again! (So many hours! lol)
