Deep Dungeon POTD healthy change wish

[Akamadoshi]

Hello everyone, Not sure if this is the correct section. Apologies if not. Let's share ideas for healthy POTD change I feel is important..

Please remain civil and do not be rude in comment.

To run PT for POTD there's huge responsibility such as committing 7-8 hours a run. (we do not split runs like many think-. this happens more between friends/FC/statics.) it's a struggle for those with RL responsibility/kids/pets, etc, it gets excluded. We should never rely on "find friends to go with" because for 5 years I never met a single person who'd be willing to commit to go, let alone 3. I also like independence, if I want to go, I want to go with those who also have a mind to go in the moment, thus pugging is my best friend. But it has come with great costs.....I love POTD, and am very sad the duration is too long to give up an entire day due to RL.


>My idea is adding an option at the entrance to start from F100

Keep 51+ option as is. (PT can go 1-51/51-200 etc)

Heck, or instead of 100, make it 51-120/120-200

just to mimic HOH! (Pun intended)


At this point, anything would help.

This should not affect solo players who do score-runs/get necromancer.
Thank you for listening. What are your thoughts on healthy changes?

I do not see them changing the structure of PoTD, as the challenge/restricted floors mirror the first half, only harder. They aren't going to let you start past floor 100 by default, not even HoH lets you start that far in with comparison. At best I see them streamlining how potsherds are given out as well as streamlining the sustaining potion between them (or however they put it during that live letter).

It's likely why HoH was streamlined to be a shorter PoTD. I spend 99% of my time in palace solo as even I cannot just nab someone, especially someone I trust, to tag along on a whim. At best I can get a friend to come along who usually can do 20 floors at a time every few days (not even 180 bothers me with 2 people). PoTD is an incredible time sink and realistically unless you can play for 8-12 hours (latter in my case) in one sitting I would not expect to full clear PoTD in one day.

That's the thing. PT recruitment does it in fact in one day which takes 7 hours. I done it twice. With two random groups.
Third time, when we got to 71, I suddenly felt unwell because I have illness, before it'd get worse and waste more time I had to abort the run.
That said, it'd be healthier if they could make a change, ignore the lore, or whatever hinders, find a way to do this. Because it is unhealthy.

The beauty of PotD and HoH is that you can actually spread things out. Start by advertising in PF for a static party to go every so often and hit x amount of sections (or spend x hours) per session.
