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

I'd be all for a single "checkpoint pomander" but I can see how people would abuse it. Still, letting us start at floor 100 would be awesome. Not everyone has 8+ hours to devote to a single POTD session.

I fear this is going the way of Diadem 1.0 and I hate that because I love the idea of POTD.

101 doesn't take 9 hours to reach, it should take less than 2 hours if party or around 2 and half hours if solo, 101-150 shouldn't take 1 hour per set of floors either, considering that's the time limit...

I didn't said 101. TC said 180 took him 9+ hours. Anything else before that isn't hard.

its pretty soul destroying.

So, if you die in PotD, you die in real life...
I've heard this somewhere before O_o;;;

Thanks for the lovely input lol how does starting at floor 100 with the same premade party after a wipe effect the challenge of Potd? its not like we are asking for a nerf on how hard the bosses hit. Nothing difficulty wise should change, and lets be honest 51-100 is not difficult is it so what is the problem with skipping it with the party that have already cleared floor 51-100 already? 51-100 is just "meh" I understand we have to run it with a new party every time but with the same premade party - and you wipe surely you could start at floor 100 instead of going all the way back? Ive seen this requested by several people in the forums now.

I died on my solo run, it was pretty heartbreaking.

I really want to try it again but I dont want to have to start from 51 again when that's not the challenge. Please just let us start from 101 once unlocked!

If the server fails, the server fails. There isn't anything you can do about that. But if an entire datacenter host is cut off from the players because of an ISP issue, SE is not at fault here and that is unfortunately how the system works. It's like saying you used up all your potions then saying "Darn, why did the game make me use all my potions!? I needed them now! I want a refund SE!", you knew the potential consequences of getting a party KO, there isn't anything SE can do about it without screwing it up for those who didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't say SE could do something about our individual ISP issues, just that as a developer they should have been conscious to those issues when putting together floors 101+ But again your example using potions isn't relatable to this, as you have control over your potion usage, you chose when to use them, getting a dc error shouldn't result in failure. There are too many variables that can pop up and cause issues within PotD, dcing is just one of the more common, let's not forget the picture back a few pages that showed 3/4 of the party dead but the game decided that it was a wipe and ended the instance right then and there despite one player still being alive. Having progress reset because of a ingame bugs, is something that should also be considered even with how rare they are.

No to this idea because the content is designed as a challenge.The challenge would be lost if you could just skip part of it that makes it the challenge and that's the journey of overcoming the mob mechanics, boss mechanics, item useage etc etc. If you could just go from 100-150 and then reset from 150 it would be a joke because you would bypass 50% of the ambush traps, explosive traps, frog traps, etc etc. The fun of it is knowing you are going to lose everything from one false move and there is excitement to be had when you finally succeed. Making it easier just because you don't want to do the journey again is a poor excuse cause the truth is nothing is forcing you to do all 100 floors in one day. POTD is not designed to be done in one day but ti's the players desire to do it in one day that makes them scream to make it easier because they want to one day it like every other piece of content.

However POTD is something you could do 50/50/50/50 if you start from 1 and go to 200. Then you are looking at about 5hrs each run more or less depending on pace, at least from 100-200 you might be looking at 5hrs to get to 50 floors. but see, even that could be turned into 1hr a day. You get it done in 20 days, is that so bad? No. Enjoy the journey and understand that yes there are huge penalties once you lose, that's what makes it exciting, there is a lot to lose from failing.

How are mandatory 51-100 floors even remotely challenging? It's FATEs difficulty trash mobs which should be skippable. Makes no sense to waste 2-3 hours every time on this.
