Not a bad idea. Not bad at all.
If roulette worked in a way you always got what you wanted Casinos would go bust.
It's already ingame that you can't give commendations if you enter the DF with someone else.
It would help if the chance are the same for every dungeon. It seems that for now the chance for Sastasha - Ifrit are a lot higher than the chances for everything after Ifrit.
My roommate has gotten Stone Vigil so I know that the others are there, but i have only ever gotten Sastasha, Tam Tara, copperbell, and Ifrit
The problem is that there are equal chances but only for the dungeons available to the lowest person in your group. If you get shuffled together with someone who is level 25, they have 6 locations to pick from so the chance of getting totorak is 1/6 or 13.4% the chance for getting any of the starting dungeons is 3/6 or 50%.
With each new dungeon the chance for a dungeon in a specific level range gets incrementally smaller but the first 5 instances (level range 15-21) will always be in that list.
If they still want a random selection mechanic they should place the first 5 in a separate category with an equal chance as the other dungeons and if it comes up for that level range it selects again from the subset.
I wouldn't mind low-level roulette as much if I could use all my skills. That way I can practice my rotation properly instead of building bad habits. Plus, I always get Tam-tara, where as a lancer, it is better to ignore my main combo and spam impulse drive. 1 button "rotations" are so boring.
Or they could divide all the level ranges into categories.
Sastasha, Tam-Tara and Copperbell.
Halatali, Toto-rak and Haukke Manor.
Brayflox, Qarn and Cutter's Cry.
Stone Vigil, dzemael and Aurum Vale.
They could probably leave Ifrit, Titan and Garuda off the list and only have them show up when someone queues for a specific one.
And then just have the system first select a random level range then select a random dungeon in that range.
I guess I am one of the few so far who has gotten a wide variety. Playing as my monk or dragoon trying to get full DL, sometimes I cant complain with getting one of the first three dungeons. Easy, fast, simple and I like helping others out. I have gotten Sastasha, Tam-Tara, Copperbell, Halatali, Haukke, Brayflox, Ifrit and Titan. I really enjoy it because it takes the grind from WP and AK off us a bit. And its an easy 100 tomes! But yes I agree with others, would be nice to base it off of the lowest person in the party and maybe give higher dungeons more frequently.
