Mentor Roulette needs a serious overhaul

The mentor system as a whole works in JP servers, so it wont change anytime soon

Its the opposite for me, I find the "1500 comedations" part extremly tedious and long. for PVE mentor that is, rest of things are fine but 1500 comedations is just too much for me. and aside from that other requirements are too vague. "get level 80 with a healer"

I think getting better requirements for PvE mentor would be nice. PvE has so many aspects that isnt limited to "raid, trial, dungeon" and including those achivements in requirement would be neat imo.

Personally I'd turn Mentor Roulette into Adventurer in Need Roulette. Anyone could queue for it and it would fill in any duties (EX and Savage excluded) with long wait times. It would also be tied to the Astrope mount.

Mentorship itself needs a full rework. No rewards or crowns and better systems for players who want to learn to actually find help from other players.

aside from extremes and savages I dont think its restricted to mentors only. and extremes and savages isnt something a new player should be doing imo, its just that far away in difficulty from "normal" stuff.

that's just my feedback as a new player at least, I didnt know I "wasnt suppoed to queue them" and when I did it was a wipe fest for an hour until people left, awful experience. ultimately I learned not to queue them from mentor too who I also became good friends with.

I do agree that mentorship needs a full rework however, but my reasoning is different, most mentors are quiet literally clueless about the game sadly, as I was leveling I met 10-15% who could answer questions but most had no idea about close to anything, and it was just people who played 1000 roulette dungeons, got 1500 comedations and were too bored to level 3 jobs to 80.

This is really the core of the problem in the West and all that really needs to be addressed. Baldesion Arsenal got a nice block of text warning about the difficulty. This is all that's really needed at some point in people's discovery of Extremes.

Any mentor that says newbies shouldn't do extreme trials probably can't do extreme trials themselves. That's horrible advice.

No, it's the correct advice to give. Mentors aren't meant to carry people that are doing content above their station

I'm fine with Mentor Roulette as is tbh.

You being unable to do extremes as a newbie should have no bearing.

Oh god. Here we go again.

Bark? You dumb twit. We aren't talking about people when they aren't newbies.

No even synced.
