Last week, due to summer, I had a power outage right as I pulled the floor 80 boss in PotD.
I didn't die.
I didn't wipe.
I was in no danger of either, the fight is trivial.
Entire achievement run dead.
About 10 minutes ago, I open a treasure chest on floor 57ish and notice I'm not moving.
Error 90002. Not even on my end, not my ISP, not a blackout, just a common 90002 hiccup.
I log back in as soon as possible.
Entire achievement run dead.
I shouldn't have to fight RNG gods on a combat achievement testing my knowledge, gameplay, etc.
Even if someone could "abuse" it, they really can't do more than fish for a little luck.
At the end of the day, they will need to clear the entirety of that Deep Dungeon solo.
So what if they retry a few times from 160 or 190? It doesn't invalidate the fact that they still had to clear every inch of it solo, which IS the stated challenge and achievement.
But the current system throws dozen hour runs away because of a two second server hiccup, through no fault of the player.
And now I'm really unmotivated to try again.
I literally have not even died once in my solo runs so far, but fighting the 90002 RNG gods, or Spectrum or Comcast going out, that should not be the challenge I need to overcome for this Achievement.
