I should ask for anyone here playing on one of my PSIV patches: do you think the Piata Basement is too hard? The most common comment I've received on my patch is that players don't want to grind in the basement, or it takes too long. (I clock it at half an hour, like that's a long time,

)
I made it that difficult because Chaz is on his first mission, and shouldn't be all that great. It requires an experienced hunter like Alys to survive Guild missions. But anyway, if enough people thinks it is too rough, I'll make another patch to lighten the difficulty in one way or another. Let me know what you think, here or in email!
