Please make PotD cross data center

[ffchampion]

I don't know about anyone else but since the new party finder i only see PotD groups in the cross data center option. Never in my own world. This is extremely frustrating as whenever i look for a group so we can try and get to floor 200 they always bail.

Please make this cross data center!
Even if you don't please remove the fact you all need to be in Quarrymill. That in it's own right is quite annoying as then you just get people crowded round the NPC

Or make it so we don't have to devote 8 hours a day to finding 3 other people with the same schedule.

It shouldn't take you 8 hours to make 3 friends.

You can make friends in game that are on hugely different gameplay times, so making three friends that play all at the same time can be a bit annoying. So yeah, it can take 8+ hours to make 3 friends who play at roughly the same time.

Oh my friends list is completely and utterly full. But trying to find three other people who can commit to the time needed and do so on a schedule that's convenient for everyone is harder than the actual DUNGEON ITSELF.

People constantly manage to find SEVEN other people for savage raids. What's so hard about three?

Your progress in a savage raid isn't reset if you have to swap people in and out because they have other obligations. Also, you can die in a savage raid and not have to start from the Binding Coil of Bahamut turn 1.

4 people is the max, not the minimum.

I could definitely get behind this... I still haven't reached floor 200.

I attempted some runs with randoms from party finder several times, and even with all the bravado, all those groups eventually had to take a break and only a few of them actually were able to reconvene and continue the run on another day.

Realistically, 101-200 is ten floor sets, and each can take somewhere between 25-45 min to clear (though I've had some go to the wire before too). A lot of it is heavily dependent on RNG. Recovering from a string of bad luck can eat up the clock... So it could take somewhere between 4-8 hours just to clear 101-200.

Personally, I think 51-100 is super easy now as long as everyone already has +99/+99 gear... which I think they should if they're seriously trying to get to 200. And I've been able to consistently clear those sets in less than 30 minutes with most of my random groups. That's still another 2 /12 hours to add on to the total time even at 25 minutes though.

[Rowde]

So estimated total time to complete 51-200 would probably be somewhere between 6 1/2 hours - 10 1/2 hours. Without taking breaks into account. I don't think it's something that can be done by most ppl in one sitting... and yeah, finding the 3 other ppl with the drive and schedule to make multiple attempts at it (in case of failure in the upper floors) on a single server has been a bit difficult for me.
