It does still seem like it could be leading to a Prae/Castrum solution. It's not really that surprising that the first wave has dungeons with relatively simple mechanics for them to teach their squad AI. But once they have this working, they'll be adding more dungeons, and hopefully we'll get Castrum and Praetorium then.

This whole use Squadron bots instead of actual players ranks as one of the worst decisions made in an mmo. I stress mmo, this is not one of those isolationist single player survival or shoot-em-up efforts - but this kind of thing is moving it in that direction.

Your wrong. A game is what the player makes out of it, not someone else. If you enoy group activities. They are continuously adding raids and dungeons. Knock yourself out. For those who don't want to endless hassle of a bad tank or healer. Let them chose and enjoy it.

It's not DF itself that requires two. It's the Roulette. Roulette gets others who've already done them to keep doing them again so that new people queuing directly can get party members more easily. (Basically, the same way Leveling Roulette works in getting high level players to help new people get through the MSQ, but this one would be helping people get through the older raids.)

Among the new hairstyles added is one of the winning styles from the FFXIV Hairstyle Design Contest.

Hmmm

I hope. I’ll be sort of upset if we only get one hairstyle for this patch.

I hope that isn't it, cause it looks so much better without the big anime antenna D:

That's not how roulette works in helping new players form a team.

You just need to queue individually. Old players will use the roulette, which includes extra rewards to entice people to do them again, to enter your queue pool. As a result, you get people to do your instance with. Roulette queue and direct queue are not entirely separate queues. They complement each other.

But Chocobos are the best ground mount in the game :<. Not a big fan of their flying animation, though. Good thing we have the broom.

I don't know what it is, but I really dislike almost every single mount in this game.

I'm praying that we get useful items to buy in GC cause at the moment I'm swimming in her to exchange for GC -.-

I think that's it. Theres only two haircuts. The female one and the male: which they say is the contest winner. They look too similar >.<
