crystalline conflict roulette idea

CC doesn't need a roulette unless the bonus is awarded for winning. Otherwise, all you do is attract the same people that begrudgingly queue Frontline and you're faced with more people who would just prefer the round end sooner, by any means necessary.

Casuals are already a cluster thing of premades killing every game or people who don't have their bars filled with abilities + press nothing. Ranked are the only thing people care for, but unfortunately it's dead and nobody wants to play with 10 same people every single day lmao.

As for rival wings, nah. The mod is pretty boring just like frontlines. Nothing they do will bring people back. Only reason why rival wings are working is because of mogpendium and community of 10-20 people that force themselves to make a queue on their private discord. Otherwise it would be perma dead.

If that can't be done (eg because they're scared people will leave over and over to fish for 'fast duties' like Guildhests), at least let us have 'every Dungeon and Hard Mode Dungeon'
EX Roulette would be a lot more interesting, if it had a lot more variety. Having a literal coinflip as to what Dungeon we're going to be doing for Tomes today is very reductive, and throws a ton of old content under the bus when it's still perfectly serviceable. I'm pretty sure I've not done Fractal Continuum Hard Mode since Stormblood had it in the EX Roulette, for example.

Mentor roulette has entered the chat.
No, but seriously, I agree Expert desperately needs a bigger pool of duties to draw from. You're not an expert because you can run two dungeons xD and people will leave for any reason under the sun regardless, though I would say it's best to keep guildhests out of the roulette since they're not particularly challenging or rewarding, they have their own dedicated roulette with a big enough pool of duties to draw from and as you say, people will be annoyed if they don't get a guildhest.

Same with something like Acceleration Bomb/Extreme Caution (Baelsar's Wall 2nd boss, A10, etc), it's easier for a newer player to just eat the 'fail state', go flying into the sky for a second, and brute force through the mechanic rather than learning what it does and how to avoid it, because chances are they're not going to see it often in the future, if at all, so why bother?

Haha, guilty about the Pyretic! :D though if it doesn't manage to kill me, I will continue to ignore it. When I run as a healer I love to dump a bunch of shields or heals so the DPS can go crazy without dying.
One I don't see very often is the "specific amount of people" stack markers. They look different and somewhat similar to the double buster too, so I often see people dying in the rare cases it shows up. You can find what I think is literally the only time this mech shows up (?) at the Aetherochemical Research Facility, Harmachis boss during it's Anti-machina transformation. It's so specific because the stack must be exactly the marked person + 1 player or everyone inside the marker explodes.
