    Request to start at floor 90 in PotD

    With Heaven on High, we are able to start at floor 21 and as a fixed party use it to begin making our way to the higher level floors. Or we can farm those ten floors over and over as a matched party. One thing I like about that is the fact that it is not as time consuming. Could we have the same for Palace of the Dead? It would remove unnecessary and boring floors to have to go through just to get to the good floors.

    Why bother? It takes barely any time at all for a fixed party to clear 51-90...

    Except it does.

    They're easy but very time consuming.

    More or less the same all the way up to floor 180, which is why SE took the feedback about shortening the curve so players can get to difficult content more quickly with HoH.

    Even chain pulling everything to the exit still takes a few hours. The bigger issue is it's mind numbingly tedious. Absolutely nothing in floors 50-100 of PotD do any sort of lethal damage—to the point most players will treat them like common dungeon trash. It's simply boring, which is why HoH reduced its floor by half.

    Hoh is smaller. no reason to start at 90 with potd, since potd is longer

    HoH's floor 21 is the first set of floors where the game knows you'll 100% be 70 in there. 11 you end up at like 57-68 unless you were acitvely farming.

    Palace's case, it's actually floor 41 where you're confirmed for 60. So technically speaking, they should have made you start at 41 instead of 51.

    Plus like others said, HoH is smaller. Like... 50% smaller.

    HoH doesn't get hard until like floors 60, floors 1-60 is easily doable with a random match party. I don't know why people think these floors are hard? The same with PoTD, it doesn't get hard until like floors 150ish, the rest of the floors is doable with a random match party.

    If you don't realize what has a 1 shot button, it's difficult.

    Killed my 51-60 in HoH like that. "Oh we're fine, don't witch, don't panic." *Everyone gets 1 shotted* "OH REALLY JIJI! WE'RE FINE!"

    Hmmm if your 99/99 and have competent people you can really make it to 70 really easy. So far at 81 is where the fun really begins.
