Someone else posted on this too. The first time I ran through it, I cleared F20 pretty easily without my 5th job skill (mechanic) and can get to 25, but now I struggle to finish 20 WITH my skill. 

Idk if it's the placebo I'm blaming from the other post I saw but it feels harder for me too

So when Dream Defender first came out I made it to floor 40 pretty easy then I was d/c because the channels in Scania kept crashing. After the d/c maplestory went under maintenance. Ever since that happened I had to restart my progress but only this time stage 1 was harder than 40. I'm set to believe the game saved me as floor 40 but also thinks I'm on stage 1. Any way to fix this? I was clearing stages in around 15 seconds and now the same ones are taking a minute and 30.
