PoTd Fixed party suggestion : FL101 Check point

[Vaer]

Wouldn't mind it. 51-100 is a snoozefest for duo+ anyways. It's almost like if you had to kill trash every time you wipe to a savage boss. Mostly a waste of time.

If you wipe and use the same file to start from 101 it should void your score though.

Regarding rewards from 150-200 we all got dyes primal weps HQ and Materia V (earth water mind) that's all I got. I think the rewards are a bit underwhelming for such a long run. The only one rewards that are worth getting are Night Pegasus Abigail's thingy and Edda's minion... If we can call it "worth of getting" .

If the Kinna Wep was the final reward for clearing the 51-200 I will fully understand and this thread would of not even been made. But you can get Kinna we just running 51-100....

Underwhelming? Keep in mind that these weapons are worth up to 2 mio gil (depending on the server) and everyone who's level 17 can enter PotD.
The reward you get for beating floor 200 is shit tho. (I just finished floor 200)

I hope Deneb cast a hex on you.

51-100 is just artificial fluff to serve as a time gate anyway.

I'd be cool with a checkpoint at 101. It's hard to remain motivated knowing you have to trudge through 51-100 all over again.

Dont get me wrong I'm not asking to start from scratch from 101 what I'm suggesting is you HAVE to start from 51 and make your way up to 200 but if u reach 101 a check point should happen until you clear the floor 200 with you fixed party.

And again once you hit 99/99 blue chests become useless so the only thing left to do is to just run and get onto the cairn and move to the next floor. Floor 160+ take a bit of time to complete if u want the hoards specially reaching the zoo that is 170....

A floor 101 check point would be ideal.

At first, I was all for the reset or checkpoint to floor 101 as well. But then I felt like it would become a complete farm run that would actually make the rewards commonplace. There is no "weekly lockout" or anything compared to raids. So, in theory, you would end up running 100-200 over and over again thus lowering the value of the rewards. I get it, it does suck having to redo the 50-100 floors over just to get to the "good stuff". However, without that in place, everyone would have the mount and minion. I do feel for people that wipe at floor 109 or something and have to go back to 51, but a lot of people wanted "tough 4 man" content that was similar to raids. So here is content that 4 people can run over and over with a challenege.

[NefarioCall]

I have yet to play 101+ even though i want to, due to the Fixed party rule.
So really, my only hope of playing this content is to Solo it.

I finally cleared 100 yesterday with my +99/99 WHM, but i did wipe on my first attempt at the boss and so could not continue to 101.
I typically cleared each set with about 10 minutes left on the timer.

SO this brings three thoughts to mind:

#1 - How about being able to retry the current 10 floor set until you clear, no matter the KO count, but just not be able to continue?
Perhaps this is already the case but i don't know because i have yet to reach 101. But basically, everything takes practice. Especially solo. Once we learn how fights work, in actual practice, not just watching a youtube, it gets easier for sure. I'd like to be able to practice and learn a certain boss 5 times if that's what is necessary to learn it, without having to trudge through 5-10 hours of grid just to attempt it again. Hey, if i die any number of times before i beat the boss, sure, don't let me proceed to the next set. But let me try it for practice now that i'm there until i'm satisfied before i restart the whole dungeon.

#2 - Is the 60 minute timer really necessary for challenge or does it just get in the way?
I'm a bit conflicted about this, because i understand how the need to manage ones progress against the clock is a part of the challenge, but is it really necessary? Can it be set to 90 minutes?

#3 - I agree with OP.
51-100 i've done countless times with party and will do so again. Because it's in a different category than 101+, it just ends up feeling like an oh, gotta spend a few hours on these floors before i get to the real thing again kind of thing.
