[REQUEST] Please let us do POTD Floors 100+ Solo or Matched Group

[Stormfur]

Not everyone has 3+ hours to spend hoping they get the exact same group to do these floors with. Please let us match up or try them solo without restrictions.

Agreed
I want to try the next floor but my FC buddies don't want to do PotD because they don't like it so for now, there is no way I cando it because I don't have 4 man fixe "roster". Pretty annoying to wait for something and then realise you can't enjoy it :/

Isn't this.. exactly how raiding works...? You get 7 other people who will for the most part, stay the same people you'll do the fights with. not to mention like 100+ is optional. and you can't solo or probably don't want to do it with random people, unless you get lucky.

[Lokier]

Is there anything worth getting from the 100+ floors?
I hope not. :P

I take that back, you get barding and a mount from floor 151+....

Raiding doesn't require that you complete with the same group, nor does it require a pre-made group at all.

You can get a matched group through Raid Finder. You can complete A9S with 7 people and A10S with a completely different set of people.

This was an addition made this tier, raiding has always worked with statics required before now, and even now there is a VERY low chance you will get any further than A9S with pug groups in raid finder due to the coordination involved.

Make a party finder for a POTD leaderboard group and play with them. It's not hard. If you really want to do this then you should be willing to do at least that.

Honestly a much better request would be not requiring you to restart from level 50 every time you wipe. So few people have time for that.

Simply not true. You could PF raids dating back to T1, and then complete T2 with an entirely different party.

Agreed, I think that there are a lot of very poor decisions made regarding the new POTD floors and their restrictions.

I don't really want to do it that badly, to be honest. I'd like to check it out, but the restrictions make it meh. It's really too bad, Square keeps developing content with a lot of promise, but then makes it restrictive or not fun somehow that completely ruins it. Despite them adding so much to the game, it feels like the game is getting smaller and smaller to me.

T1 and T2 were the easiest of the path, and (except maybe t2 with playing hot potatato with rot.) Anyone could do those, but when it came to t4 and 5, (3 was an obvious joke) No way in hell would you do those with a random group due to how much coordination was needed.

This isn't a debate about difficulty, this is a debate about capability. In all raids since the beginning of raids, you were never forced to enter the 2nd floor/turn with the same group as the 1st (or the 5th with the same group as the 4th) etc.

My point was you aren't GOING to, of course you aren't forced, But, No one is going to do content with a group that they know will not accomplish anything. Floor 100+ is for the "hardcore" type, so they know the same rules may apply, You will want to do them with people you trust.

One is locked out by force, the other is locked out by morality.
