Sounds neat, but honestly I don’t have the patience to dedicate 16 hours to finish one dungeon.

I updated OP with more details. Total clear time for Arcane Sanctuary is 5 Hours (est. 3 min per floor) for entire mega-dungeon. Once you enter dungeon, you cannot leave until completed. You can log in and out as many times as needed, but you will always be in dungeon. If you choose to leave via TP, you will have to start entire process over again and find another Ancient Portal. However, that’s why the mega-dungeon has a Blacksmith Floor every 15 floors (safe zones).

Again I think anything with 99 levels no matter how awesome it is will not work. They have to do something like I have made where its just a couple of things to put in existing dungeons that change it by replacing some enemies or adding loot or gobs or such. I just dont see 99 floors working. Great job on the creativity and passion but its out of the realm of reality.
No less instanced more open world…
Appreciate that. It seems like PoE2 can make significant improvements to the game after seeing Dawn of the Hunt trailer (and still early access), but D4 gets recycled content every Season. The Arcane Sanctuary could be done, but would take a concerted effort by the devs to implement. I guess the bar is set rather low for D4, which is unfortunate.
kinda brings back the feel of diablo 1, venturing deeper and deeper into dungeons, with the tension building up, especially in caves filled with magma and lava.
yup, give us deeper dungeons!
POE 2 has massive balance issues on the new hero. +1 ring slot and 25% to all rings and then that belt that makes your rings even better. PPL will have 3 rings and 100% to all rings. ITs nuts and has to be nerfed.
The lootfilter admission by them was astonishing. It was confirming what we all were thinking. The only thing that matters are metrics and $.
