POTD floor 200 solo

Oh do I hope you never whine about Savage content then or job balance in general.

Yeah heaven forbid someone disagree with game design and use examples and evidence as well as experience to show it's bad. Not to mention how boring it could be.

No, I mean if you discredit someone for not being super excellent at one aspect of the game, expect it to be returned in kind.

I wouldn't discredit someone for not being super excellent at all. Only for ignorance which is in no short supply.

So 150 solo is ignorance? I mean why bother listening to anybody that didn't clear 200 then? Clearly he's the only one that matters.

The thing is: nobody criticized Ultimate because it was too hard, or those were irrelevant people that didn't kill O4S and wanted to try it... But yeah. Those people are irrelevant for that content. In the same way anyone who didn't experience Potd floor 180+ Solo, or didn't "study" it is irrelevant regarding that content. There are people out here that tried for actual years to go to floor 200 solo, and that didn't succeed, not because they weren't "Super excellent", they are, but because the whole challenge is unfair.

So yeah, having an irrelevant person coming out of nowhere to say "You just need a dash of luck" despite the dozens/hundreds of hours you've worked... It probably can trigger many people, and that's legit.

So don't make that a state affair, and do as I do: leave communities alone if you're not interested in what they're doing, except in condescending ways.

I'm curious how they could make this doable on more jobs without nerfing it for light parties. I doubt they'd want to develop and test a party number based scaling system for old content.

I've made my attempts, on my main (blm) and as rdm. Past floor 100 I can fully understand why rdm is lord of the palace. And I also know as it is right now I'll likely be unable to clear it solo, especially after my FC finally got our 200. After seeing 180+ it's... it's just evil.

As an attempting soloist I don't want to see a big nerf, Angelus made some excellent suggestions on another thread as to what can be done for solo potd that will still keep the challenge. This isn't like crying for a nerf on a trial, we're asking for adjustments on a dungeon crawl that takes HOURS and you lose it all for one death. Something only TWO people have achieved on content that has been available since SB release.

150 solo and 200 in a group is more than enough experience to form an opinion. I suspect it's a hell of a lot more than most of the people asking for it to be nerfed.

Actually a good deal of us aren't asking for a total nerf... just some alterations to the solo version vs the party version that make it a little more possible for others to be able to enjoy and defeat. When you realize the class you main just isn't equipped to handle the content, or that unless the rng gods are kind you've wasted 15+ hours, and that for some reason you have to qualify to go past 100 again and again because the achievement is 1-200 even though 1-100 is just an aggravating time waste at this point... we're frustrated because we WANT to do this, we WANT to try it but it would be nice to have some of the pointless hurdles kicked aside and maybe a little something extra because we're going alone.

edit: I don't want to just mow everything down, I want to earn the necromancer title... but as it is now I'm tired of wasting so much time just to access relevant floors... or having to start over if I get poop for poms.

I know this post is about the SOLO RUN TO FLOOR 200 & pardon me for going off topic.
One of the big issues that I had with POTD that made me care less for floors 101-200 was the stipulations, especially the one that only fixed parties can go to floors 101-200.
Ever since POTD came out, I was always in matched parties & like it that way. Running parties were you were RED MAGE TANK & every one was healers...was very interesting.
To put a stipulation that only fixed parties can do floors 101-200 & match parties...prevents some players from experiencing the content.
Again, I apologize for my off topic rant.
