Now most of the players suffers the depth 19-22 before FSC because one guild is always making fiends only gates before gate refreshing.

making gates is not illegal in the game, but it makes some players who can solo FSC suffer. In fact, it is difficult to let one player survive through all fiends gates without spending more time and CE than before.

Can the official prevent players making the same gates more than twice? I don't want to spend the rest of the year to face all fiends gates before going to FSC!

The gate is different. The last one was a fiend-themed stratum, and this one is undead-themed. See? Different.

But really, I have a better idea. How about if you learn how to fight devilites and kats? That's the real problem.

devilites and kats are pretty troublesome. It is pretty hard for one player to pass through those level.

And, the main problem is there are some players make those gate intensively.

Not really. I did the fifth stratum of the sapphire pawn gate that you're talking about earlier today solo. I did Ritual Road, Sinful Steps, Stygian Steeds, and Graveyard in that order. And I got hit exactly six times. Total. In the whole stratum. The furthest I ever was away from full life was 3 lines, and that was when I picked up a health capsule.

In content that is actually hard, such as, say, a sixth stratum toxigel danger room, I can't come anywhere near doing that well.

I took the time to solo run the new undead/fiend themed stratum depth 19-22 including the Graveyard in Mad Bomber gear and a shadow defense shield (Because honestly that's all you need) with not a whit of Shadow resist on my armor. I got hit a total of 5 times and never had my health dip into a dangerous territory. That's without any way to moderate shadow damage in the slightest.

I even took screen shots for you at the final elevator in Graveyard at depth 22.

It is insanely easy to deal with Devilites. Don't go running in slashing like a ninny on everyone of them and try to fight with a modicum of self preservation. Dodge more instead of trying to shield 4-5 devilite projectiles, circle strafing is a god send for the majority of projectile based mobs in this game. And if you have a DBB or a Flourish line sword then the entire stratum should be effectively a cake walk.

If you can "solo FSC/Vanaduke" then there is absolutely no excuse for being beaten by devilites consistently. Ever.

What Dark ritual?

So true. Fiends are nothing if you can solo Vanaduke.

Plus, people are just trying to stop the FSC farmers who only use Vog. There just trying to get em to get shadow resist. True now, it is harsh on the newbies in t3 but hey, it's T3.
