HoH feedback

[Vnolan]

I've already cleared HoH

I'd bet those arguing for no changes haven't really done it. Forget being in a party - even solo is a joke up to 60, but Yoshi-P said the challenging floors start at 30, so you must be making stuff up.

Next EX trial: After every wipe, you need to run a dungeon.

If they add the option to start later and you didn't want to use it, you wouldn't have to. This isn't PVP and there isn't a race. Isn't it a bit much to ask tens of thousands of people to spend hours upon hours doing faceroll content just to do the interesting stuff so...actually, I don't even know why anyone is in favor of it.

Cleared it twice already, with a third save file going. Still don’t think anything needs to be changed with regards to the floor set-up. I think people should stop asking for changes just because they want everything to be done in 15 minutes or less, personally.

2-3 hours, the time it would still take to do 61-100, is 15 minutes?

It has me perplexed. If someone suggests something that could save people time, I could see people pointing out why the devs wouldn't do it, but here you have people actually arguing against it, and for no good reason, lol.

Do you have any decent reason as to why HoH’s challenge floors should only take 2-3 hours? Aside from “because I want it to”?

Exactly. I see many similarities between this and the no-fly argument (in WoW, but it has spilled here too). If you want to walk and take the long route, go ahead. But I don't see any legitimate reason to be against a faster or more convenient option for others to get where they want to be.

Most arguments against convenience just boil down to "it's possible to do without this feature so just put up with how things are now". That same argument (appeal to tradition fallacy) can be used against cross realm groups, the duty finder, the raid finder and even the party finder. "If you can't work something out with friends or shout in cities to get a group for a dungeon and can't find the time to walk to the dungeon entrance, you're not even trying." Sounds pretty silly in another context.

Sure, I have one for you. THAT'S NOT HOW THE CONTENT WAS DESIGNED, suck it up and either set the time aside or don't do it at all. ITS THAT SIMPLE!!! Stop sitting here begging for something that is already trivial, to be made even more trivial because .. "you don't wanna"

you people wont be happy until this is a mobile game.

Maybe intead of hyperbole lets look at alternatives that still make it a challenge but still help...like 50/50. I ran 1-30 yesterday with an ingame friend (her first time) and she was pissed that its only 30 floors for casuals and that it also only 100 completely.

There are no alternatives. Why should there be? This IS casual content!! Just because you (or your friend) don't want to set the time aside doesn't suddenly change that. You don't even need to do it all in one go I mean jeebus.

Your time may be trivial to you, but I value mine. I wouldn't have made a forum thread about this otherwise

Most people value their time, which is why they learn how to adequately manage it by (in this case) breaking down that five or six hour marathon into a few sprints of anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes spread out over a few days.

If you cant dedicte time to it, thats your problem, not the games. The game has difficulty built in a few different ways. The 'Gauntlet' means you gotta not only dedicate time to it, but also while playing it understand more is riding on you to do it right. If you can start at lvl 81 anytime you want after you hit 80, then you can be more risky and less observant in what youre doing. You have the safety net. But if wiping means you gotta start back at 21, that means you gotta be more meaningful and use better judgement to succeed. Cause you dont want ot redo all of that.

Furthemore, if time is such a huge deal to you, get some friends and do a few hours at a time then take a break. There is no rule that says you have to run 21-100 all in one sitting. Thats on you. Again, if you cant dedicate the time, then thats on you, not the game.

Like HyoMin, I have two 100 clears, am working on a third and have wiped at floors 50 (day one, very low aetherpool), floor 76 and 90. So six attempts in content I supposedly "haven't really done."

How is this remotely comparable? The entire purpose of HoH is a gauntlet style system wherein you begin from the bottom up. Allowing players to start from floor 61 eliminates a portion of the risk. Yes, 21-50 are more or less facerolls, but the time commitment inherently makes floors 81+ risky. As I mentioned earlier, wiping to Xande has far less impact if I go back to floor 61. At the point, I've spent maybe an hour and a half tops. Now it's no longer a gauntlet but a mild annoyance.

Most arguments against convenience just boil down to "it's possible to do without this feature so just put up with how things are now". That same argument (appeal to tradition fallacy) can be used against cross realm groups, the duty finder, the raid finder and even the party finder. "If you can't work something out with friends or shout in cities to get a group for a dungeon and can't find the time to walk to the dungeon entrance, you're not even trying." Sounds pretty silly in another context.

Dungeons aren't intended to be gauntlets. Heaven on High is. The only fallacy here is you making a disingenuous comparison between two pieces of content with different design philosophies. What you're essentially saying is, "I want an easier, faster, more convenient route." Okay. Let's say they implement this change except you will not receive an Empyream token and/or the Dodo mount unless you begin from floor 21. Would you still support the change or does your convenience also demand the same rewards too?

It has me perplexed. If someone suggests something that could save people time, I could see people pointing out why the devs wouldn't do it, but here you have people actually arguing against it, and for no good reason, lol.

People have cited plenty of good reasons. You simply refuse to listen.
