PoTd Fixed party suggestion : FL101 Check point

[FinaSel]

Did u guys realize 101-150 bronze chest drop more Gelmorran Potsherd? .

If the checkpoint on 101 , I really don't know what's going to happen with Materia V price on markets... @__@

Yes, this.

When I soloed to floor 130, I got 15 potsherds in just 1 run.

ya, phoenix downs are replaced with potsherds, they have about 30-40% droprate per bronze chest

I'm not for or against it, but I wouldn't mind. PotD's main difficulty is just stat fluff enemies, which I don't really consider worthwhile difficulty.

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.

My point exactly. Thanks

Actually the reason he gave is exactly why SE designed it the way they did. The difficulty comes from the psychology of the idea that if you screw up, you have to trawl through all that again. It instills fear of dying, and despair if you do die. That is by design so I don't see SE changing it anytime soon. As for Alexander Savage, while I advocate for throwing you back to A1N if you die at A12S if it means you guys will stop with these checkpoint threads, it is designed differently in that the difficulty comes from the amount of stuff flying around, the content is much more difficult and that is what creates the fear of dying.

The penalty of going back to 51 is intended to make dying / wiping a seriously undesirable thing, sorta like a lesser version of Sword Art Online. It makes groups fight harder and work harder to get to the top, its intended to be the "savage" mode of the Deep Dungeon system.

I wouldn't say the content is more difficult at all. The problem comes when you reach higher floors and adds got more HP and there's more of them to kill at the same time. It can become boring hitiing a few adds in one floor for over 15 minutes. And then just to die cause of a trap then to re start from scratch. It can become tiring and dull. Plus the reward on floor 200 , as it has been mentioned before, it's mediocre.

With regards to the part you quoted, I was referring to how Alexander Savage operates and why it is different to POTD. I can understand something may have got lost in translation which is why I am clarifying here.

Making 51-100 mandatory is helpful in stocking up poms for the actual fight from 101-200. But even with that said, it is possible to raise the check point to 101, increase spawn rate of silver chest and reduce the drop rate of potsheds from 101-150. At the end of the day, I still think 51-100 is just fluff content to serve as a time gate so people doesn't burn the content as fast as they would otherwise.
