    I was asked to present this idea on an English forum. We all know that there's quite a lot people who'd wanted an instant entrance feature so they could enter maps with bosses in parallel worlds (PW) the same way it was with Khaly, Mortis or Heredur. It was taken from us. I have no idea if they'll ever bring back old Mortis and Halls of the Dead. I hope they will, in a couple of months, because the way they changed it is ridiculous.

    I know they won't bring back all new PWs the way it was before r158, they won't let us farm easy only from bosses, without doing the whole map. You all know how the situation on bosses looks like right now. It shows how sensless was BP's decision. You also know, it won't stay like this forever. That's why it's a great chance to make a compromise. Would it not be the price to pay, as is the case with mortise and Hall of Tegan? The player would need to perform some tasks (eg. kill however many mobs) on PW anyway so it wouldn't be pointless as it is right now. In return, he'd get the ticket to enter the last room – the one with the main boss – without need to go through the whole map again (a teleport, like those in Moon Events). The question is:
    - would you like a new, separate coin for each PW (which would occupy a slot in the inventory)
    - make Mortis Coins universal and let us use those coins to pay for the teleport
    or
    - let us buy those coins/tickets/whatever you want from NPC for material fragments (I've seen requests like this one on twitch and forums)

    All 3 options would require some effort to earn the tickets (exploring new maps, farming on them, would be worth all the effort) and in the return, would give us a semblance of old farm bosses without returning to the old version of the game. I think this is the only way to combine elements from before r158 with what BP did in r158.

    If you vote for "yes", please chose the most suited option (or options - up to 3) for you.
    If you vote for "no", please do not chose any other option.

    If you chose the first voting option, please add to it one or two other because it's not about free pass to enter the boss map. We MUST take the effort, we MUST do those maps to achive the ticket/coin/whatever. Only this way we can make a compromise with what BP did and wants – getting a reward for doing maps or some kind of quests on those maps. They'll never agree to give us this ticket for free.

    This survey is not about Mortis, but other bosses – Grimmag, Arachna, Bear, Heredur and Khaly. BP wants to force us to do the maps, not only farm the bosses at the end as we used to do in the past. This proposition is about making both sides happy – BP and us, gamers.

    IMO, the best option is Universal Mortis Coins. Right now, the loot on those maps is terrible. It's like 10% of what we had on old maps, but the effort we must take to do them is bigger – those maps are more difficult than they were before r158. That's why we can combine this effort with a compansation that would be a ticket to the last map which we could use from wherever we are.

    I just say "Yes." Now, Mortis should require the fragments be reduced appropriately, but the rest should just be free the way Khalys was before R158.

    I don't have any problem with the current setup. I do kind of wish I could exit and reenter mortis's courtroom after a mortis kill so that i don't need to go back to the city but otherwise no real complaints.

    I get the new grind, and the drops have been improved but I would love to see "boss" only runs again. I personally think that they should be free (except mortis) to enter. Finding new ways to make us grind more seems to be a major goal, so I don't see them allowing us to skip the boring low drop maps.

    It would make time management a lot easier, and grouping too.
    3 maps + preparation can take a lot more time than I want to spend in a map chain. Usually 10-15 minutes is a more useful block for me, especially when working on other projects.

    If that is not done, in one form of the other, at least so we are able to do those junk maps 100 times and get 100 portals which we can use in a row, it might be a game changer for me. Literal. I always rebuild for the very specific type of farming, and it is super expensive in terms of gold and time. It is just a waste. Im addicted. Buy i respect my time too. If they stick to that waste, I will have to find another hobby. I'm not going to run m2 and do mortis with the same setup. It makes no sense for the player. It makes zero sense for the game and the Dev team as well.

    The devs should know that people like farming bosses for their unique items. It's like a sale where you get the most bang for your buck. EDIT We will find a way, but I would rather the devs figure out a way to appease everyone.

    Hopefully or not, this bug will be finally addressed soon, and I guess we are not allowed to discuss something like that on the forum. Otherwise, you are right) even worse. There are lots of people who didn't abuse the bug, and BP will do nothing to those who did, and they will be lucky owners of all the possible uniques

    This proposal is not about FREE access and this is clear for me. Than it is a waste of vote if somebody want free enter at bosses... BP doesn't give it to us. For me it is only compromise like this - work by toon for enter, shortcut.
    I like coins need for Mortis to be universal but option for Amon's materia will be fine for me too.
    And even this option, shortcut BP will agree put only at normal PW maps, it will be good for me too.

    Ok being left handed I have some really good ideas every once in a while.

    All bosses ecp mortis.

    Once you unlock the next line of PW bosses.
    The next phase requires you to be able to face the next biss. IE The get travel rations to Grimmage you have to be able to reach Archana. Archana will randomly drop Grimmage travel rations. The travel rations can work just like they do in Defeat the undefeatables If everyone in the group has one they all can go there. The are sold at the NPC that is buy the next door. Like the NPC infront of H.Grotto will provide Travel Rations to Grimmage.

    Speaking of, I really hope that the next DtU event will be reworked to include the new PW bosses and some new stuff to make it rewarding again.

    Good job predicting / influencing a game feature.

    Yes, but we should have told them the exact amount so they don't get crazy about price.
