I'm currently in the process of running PotD to get Heaven on High unlocked.
Is there any real reason why we need to have the Queue option locked behind an NPC in Quarrymill?
It's something of a hassle when you're doing things in other places. Ishgard, the Far East, etc. And you have to teleport to Quarrymill just to get into a queue, when it seems to be just absolutely unnecessary after you unlock it.
I'm no expert coder, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how it works. You talk to the NPC, it triggers the script to open the window for PotD, allowing you to select the options.
Wouldn't it be a huge QoL feature to add an option in the Duty list of the Main menu. So that once PotD is unlocked, you can go into the menu, go to Duty, scroll down to Deep Dungeons. Then select either PotD or HoH, assuming both are unlocked.
The menu item could easily launch the same script as the NPC in Quarrymill, or the one in the Ruby Sea.
If you select PotD, it calls up the same script that the NPC dialogue references, and the PotD window pops up.
You select to enter and get queued up, all while being located half a world away.
You could even place the NPCs that handle the Accursed Hoard into the Exit area of the dungeons. The one where you exit to the normal world, or you use the entry to go deeper/higher (assuming you have a fixed party).
That Bishop guy for PotD could be standing in this area, since I really doubt there is one of these for ever single 10 level group in the dungeon. It should only be a singular area.
Which means if the Bishop stood there, after you beat a 10th floor and use the exit in the boss room, you enter the new area, you talk to the bishop to see what is in your sacks of loot. Then you can exit out and go back to where you were previously. Just like you would a normal dungeon.
I can't see how this could be a bad idea. To be honest, it seems like with the deep dungeons being more accessible (ie, without needless travel), more people would queue for them and the queue times would be reduced.
