Roulette Expert, lvl 60 and 50 would like to have a talk with you.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm not playing only for leveling, leveling by itself comes automatically. We are playing for the fun of it, and to have a bit more XP of course and GIL, which is needed for the absurd Market Board ruled by humans..
So yeah, So many options for leveling, but do get into Dungeons (where we have fun) would be nice for everyone.
As someone else said, unlock it up to the max party -1, then we might see a new hype from bored players.
Guess some people who play this game alone really should get a real BF/GF in life.. I wouldn't want to be with a random player heck no! Married? You guys are nuts ^^
If you cannot make friends on your own, chat in FC/LS and then get to know each other, and then ask each other to get 'perks' of getting married in the game, and both agree, then you don't deserve the server to randomly choose someone for you, you failed the FATE already >.<
Thank you for saying no offence, as none is taken ^^ and hopefully my post will be viewed as such.
You have to think outside the box (monitor) - When 2 people work (real work, no mamas and papas paying for you) that takes a huge chuck of time away. Add Kids, even less.
We have lots of activities beyond this game (now that's HEALTHY!) We just started Kendo yesterday, and it was a Blast!
Ok on topic.
So when my BF purchased this game, it was for both of us to enjoy a good time together, and then sometimes he plays alone, sometimes it's me, to catch up to him since he plays since Beta ^^
The drama comes in many ways, no need for a game, but add people who play who are alone and never got to see the sun outside, somes are prone to be acting like Divas or DramaQueens..
So yeah, it's not that everyone MUST absolutely do everything with their lover. Missed the point.
I proposed to ADD more Roulettes! And since they can allow more than one to do some of the Roulettes already, the programmed module for it to allow more roulette and being unlocked is created already.
And we have FC/LS/Friends in the game when we want to chat, or to complete dungeon runs because we got paired with Randoms who were not able to help us complete the instance for whatever reason.
So hope it's clearer. To ADD more Roulettes, or unlock those.
Oh! and what everyone will say when they'll unlock GC Ranks? We will be able to Hire mercenaries.. so us 2 + 2 mercenairies, lot's of people will cry that they don't have us to help clear what they want thereafter.
So it seems obvious that they can do it.
I leave it up to them to decice if they should.
Just like any other suggestion in the game, like Glamour this and that. (QoL they say, can't live without glam - now that's healthy lol)
Awesome. That's the type of person, like yourself, that I wanted to reach, among others ^^
Not everyone has all the time in the world, and my BF consider himself so lucky to have a Gamer girl.. and I'm decent at healing, Astro's my favorite so far, almost 60, can't wait!
Next: Scholar (my BF's Healer fav lol) He plays all roles, like some more than others, and I'm playing to catch up ^^
Err.. you read my post?
We are not running out of things to do lol with every server reset, Leves, Fates, VA, and daily Vanu Beast Tribes, Trial, Main Scenario, Leveling (looking at you!), 50, 60 expert..
We have to skip some among them.
And on day we can do all of them like when the kids are away, we still encounter the fact that we both click on leveling, apart.
That's where a DUO roulette, or a Marriage one, would be nice to have, then we could skip the leveling, until they'll unlock it like lvl 50 and up.
Wow this got serious quickly. Wish there were more benefits to being married. Then I would get married again. So many possibilities.
Ty for the sympathy ^^
my Bf's been in older FC, and even if you are 200+, everyone is doing 'their own thing' and different timezones etc.. so even looking for 2 members when he was playing with someone else before, was a pain...
So we went the route of a small FC, but helpful.
now, let's say 4-8 real friends decided to play this game.
They create their FC, and do all contents together. No one is helping anyone outside their FC.
Does that benefits everyone? not at all. Can they do it? Of course! That's their prerogative to even play this game!
So yeah, to each their own.
Just prays SE will answer this one with a nice (we'll send it to the DEVs so they can look into what they can do with their limited allowed time ^^ )
what can we say, we love to help new people and older to whatever they need, except giving gil lol
But when no ones around, we play.. together (sacrilege!)
I honestly see no problem with a roulette like this. However, if you queue with randoms (say the couple is the tank/healer duo), people expect everyone to know what they are doing, and/or have a basic grasp on how your job works by the time you hit endgame. The only problem(s) I see are: When healer isn't actually doing a good job of keeping people alive; Tank isn't trying to keep hate up... (Yes, I've ran into couples like these in expert and level 60 the last few weeks when I'm queued as Bard). I voice my concerns (in a polite manner) saying something about trying to be better. I got kicked once saying something in a civil manner, because the healer was so, so bad. I attempted to give advice to this person, and I got kicked, because of the majority vote of vote kick, and them being a couple and such. That is the only issue I see with couples queued together in dungeons (not saying everyone is like this. I've ran with a bunch of couples that were awesome sauce).
There'll always be bad and good sides to a topic. I just wanted to leave my opinion about this topic here. Please don't take offense to it. ; ;
Why do they have to be married? Why can't pairs of friends join too? It's such a weird, arbitrary restriction to suggest. Admittedly such restrictions seem popular with the team so it might give it a better chance ;p
To be honest I think they balanced the marriage stuff pretty well in terms of making it satisfying without making everyone who isn't married feel as though they're missing out on something essential. The ring is great, the sentimental items and clothes are great, the mount is hilarious and we had a lot of fun getting together with our friends when my wife and I married in game.
In any case, I feel being part of a couple is its own reward which doesn't need incentivising further. Loosening the roulette restrictions is fine as per your other suggestion, but there's no need to leave anyone out.
(Anecdotally on my server most of the players in DF are incredible and even when I work hard I often come away feeling as though I was carried. Whereas playing with my real partner (and our friends) was a hilarious bloodbath of overconfidence and quick learning right from the beginning. There are cultural differences in play here, obviously, but I'm pretty sure I've learnt more from playing with someone who isn't afraid to scream "What on earth are you doing?!" mid-fight than a bunch of highly capable strangers. No need for people to judge others for the way they choose to become skilled at their role.)
1. Easier to make teams for.. cap roulettes? Leveling: most of the time, it's 4 synced people, so no new members here to help, everyone is there for the high-bonus, and they know their roles, so..
2. not that much, considering we have almost instant queue me as healer and him as Tank ^^
No offence, your point is good. However, it's Duty Finder: you cannot expect anyone else to be like you (as you might be super-skilled even with Wanderer's Minuet on ;) )
So even if they are good, 3 different people might judge you and votekick you, couple or not.
Moreso if you are polite and give suggestions that, they don't want to read or don't care or are playing on PS4 without a Keyboard or are Japanese that don't understand English ^^ (weird, with Japanese people, they seem to want to get the job done, even with wipes, versus NA where everyone seems on the verge, as if the game will stop and crash if they wipe once lol)
If you see that everyone is doing at least what they should (Tank - getting aggro, Healers: Heals first, then DPS if she wants (I do because it's boring otherwise, but I won't max my DPS with someone 3rd App, we don't care about this crap) and DPS - Avoid everything first, then DPS. (a dead DPS ain't giving any numbers)
I think everyone in the game, new or not, know what each roles pertain, but you cannot force anyone to do it, if they don't want to or just trolling because they are bored doing the same stuff for ages.
And consider this: my BF is playing since Beta: I just started the game, leveling up to 60, doing all dungeons as soon as they were available, but only doing them once, in order to catch up to HW. So, I know my role, I make sure we get through, I can fail to an AoE or mechanic, and I'm sure I'm not the only 'noob' here.
Veterans need to cut some slack to us, as it might be because of us that this game has some refresh with new subscribers ;)
We enjoy the game, it's new and flashy, versus my BF, 2 years, 3.0 almost the rehash of 2.0, so he's been there, done that, but when he looks at me having fun, that helps him with his boredom.
Point is this: no matter who you're linked with, it's how you get along that makes it or break it.
So far, we encountered some DPS, even couples, that were new to their jobs (we are ok with this) but.. couldn't even Dodge anything!!
Can't wait to see Yoshi's New Beginner's Hall; should help everyone, new and old, into new classes/jobs, or perhaps to perfect themselves! :D
If you think this game as a game (to have fun, alone or with peeps) then the numbers and taking 5 mins longer to complete an instance shouldn't matter.
Sure, we won't do as many instance that day: but we had fun, and tomorrow another day! ;)
Have fun in the game, with whoever you're with! ^^
EDIT: I just checked your profile, and you seem to be a Grandmaster of Magic! Kudos ^^
Lots of people might play this game with only one Job to the max, get into Raids, and think they are good. Sure, with their Jobs they are, no question. But in my opinion, they lack the experience from all the other jobs to make valid points and understand how the other roles are played (of course everyone knows a bit about other roles, but not as much as playing them, mind you ^^)
So yeah, if you play as BRD, and say politely that you main healer and could provide some tips, and you don't mind the wipes in order to help improve one person, that later would become better for it, and then helping the community... if you are kicked, it won't be by us for sure! ;)
I'm glad to see you are leveling DRK (My BF's Favorite Tank with PLD ^^ - but I find him sooo squishy to heal, my benediction always ready for his Zombie-Mode lol)
Keep up the good work!
I'd love to see this happening. I am tired of all those solo roulettes. Because what's the point of having paid for a wedding if we can't barely do anything with our partner. Sure we can do things... But outside level 60? Not really!
Hahaha. This topic was not what I thought it was. ;)
I would like to see this feature in, but only for 8 player content roulettes.
So a system where you can sign up for Trial Roulette/Frontline Roulette/Main Scenario Roulette with the person you are eternally bonded with. Can't do it with anyone else, has to be someone you are eternally bonded with.
I don't think it's that bad to be 2 people playing together with a group of 8 randoms if they are eternally bonded characters.
I thought some people were looking for completely random marriage partners and I thought to myself "There's a thread i have to read!" ^^
However yes, I do support the idea for expansion of the leveling roulette to be able to solo queue or go in with a group. Don't think we need a Marriage Roulette per se, but I am still intrigued by the marriage lottery. XD
Enora, just as a heads up, you can multiquote a single post. :) That way you won't have to post and post and post.
On topic, I have to disagree with a marriage roulette. My fiance and I enjoy playing together, and if we want to level in a dungeon, we simply flag up for the dungeon normally. Doing trials and guildhests solo don't bother me because they're usually done in 5-10 minutes (unless you get one of "those" groups), and MS Roulette is fairly quick as well.
Now I will agree that I would like to see the Leveling Roulette expanded upon.
It should not be locked to only married couple. It should allow us to do them those roulettes with two people.
I like the idea. :3 Doing low level roulette by myself is kinda boring.
remove duty finder and boom
Just to clarify my idea
We can add more roulette subforms like solo roulette, duo roulette, 4man roulette and 8man roulette they can have different bonuses so it gives people incentive to try stuff solo but also do stuff in groups.
I think we need more incentives to use the party finder option and give new players reason to use it.
I think solo queuing in df is hurting the game a lil in the social aspects, like en players in df on tonberry data center no longer say hello, which is starting to become a bit of a downer.
This game community kinda starting to get jaded and new players are paying the price.
Just my thoughts.
It's the same on Gilgamesh, community feels bored and dead.. a few hi and hellos in instances, sometimes we ask if we are with Botters lol and still no answer (PS4 without a keyboard limitation I guess o.O or just don't care at all.. until there is a wipe lol )
I was debating on making a thread about this last week. I play with several friends and none of us like it how we can't go story quests/side quests together in an MMO. It makes me feel alone and like I'm playing a single player rpg. I really don't understand why they would make a mmorpg like that, but I highly doubt that will change that at this point :<Quote:
I find it weird that as an MMO, we are doing the Main Scenario quest, alone.
You are all wrong they are as they say casual players ./swt
I do believe that they could at least greet. I tend to say hi too but I am told from healers and some dps (some not all of them) say that I need to talk less and do more big pulls. I suppose they are soo tired communicating and interact ing with people in real life that going to virtual life is just not worth to do so.
Can we get parties being allowed to do duty roulette before we get ideas like these started.
