Deep dungeons are content designed to welcome players of all levels. However, in the current system, in order to access all deep dungeons, players must complete the first 50 levels of Palace of the Dead, which is the first deep dungeon available. Removing this prerequisite would greatly boost the number of players in deep dungeon content.
While the current system is meant to teach players how deep dungeons work, it is a significant barrier to entry, preventing many players from attempting more recent deep dungeons because they must spend hours completing this requirement before accessing other DDs. Additionally, this system is circumvented when people simply group up and rush through the 50 floors, providing no tangible learning outcomes for newcomers. The process is highly tedious and actively discourages players from engaging with deep dungeon content overall.
To give an example, several of my friends were very excited to try PT, as it is the latest deep dungeon. However, upon hearing they would have to complete the prerequisite first, they were taken aback and chose not to engage with the content.
To alleviate this, a proposed solution is to remove the requirement entirely, allowing players to freely access any deep dungeon. Additionally, there could be a tutorial added for deep dungeon, allowing players to get acquainted with the common mechanics they would encounter in such content.
In doing so, more players would be receptive to deep dungeon content, allowing more players to participate in this content.
