    Deep Dungeons: Floor 31 and Beyond Fixed Parties. Why???

    Why are Deep Dungeons like this? After Palace of the Dead, HoH was like this and now Eureka Othros. What is the point of it?

    PotD was the same after floor 100. There are just fewer floors of HoH and Eureka Othros, so the matched:fixed party cut-off will be sooner because the more difficult floors start sooner.

    They don't really think nor intend to allow matched parties at this point.

    I think it would be cool to have a matched partied version, but they'd have to remove the whole death goes back to 30 aspect of it. Because you know people would troll you and wipe the whole party. You know someone else is going to get everyone killed. I'm lazy and match parties would be my perfered way of doing it, but the cons outweigh the pros.

    I like the PotD design more, with 100 casual and 100 harder floors. But you should be able to start at floor 101 with a matched party.

    With 100 more casual floors it is more interesting to grind, instead of running the same 10 floors over and over, and you have an easier solo achievment for people who are not that hardcore but want a little challenge anyway.

    There is nothing "deep" about this dungeon when 90% of the time inside are spent on floors 21-30 >.>

    It’s a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do. Perhaps Emily is more like me than I am like myself. Perhaps she would rather not answer her friends, even. She keeps it all in her heart.

    probably mostly because the system can't allow for pomander data to be shared from multiple different people across instances. and to do with scoring.

    Likely because it's quite long and saves progress so how would that work with randomly assigned teams

    can always go solo if you don't want to make a party

    Same way it worked with POTD? We only had 1 to 50 at first, then got the second half which was another set of matched floors. And then the 100+ were fixed party.

    This limitation on matching kind of defeats the whole "use any group" aspect of this content. And that's what they focused on when they first introduced it.

    From 1-30 via matched it resets pomanders. That wouldn't work on higher floors. You need a stash built up.

    If the idea was fully matched to all levels, yes. But even just giving us more matched floors like POTD instead of cutting off at 30 like HoH would be an improvement.
