Duty Roulette while in a grp.

Why can't we use Duty Roulette while in a grp with someone? I want to do Duty Roulette with friends and people from my FC, but it won't let you queue for it when your in a grp. How ass backwards is it to not promote group play with friends?

I'm guessing they want to promote helping solo players who might be stuck on duties from lack of people doing them. Though I agree, I really don't want to do a lot of these dungeons with people I don't know ... especially when some of them are ragers.

Probably because duty roulette was purposely designed to get people out of pre-made groups. That's what the standard duty finder is for.

They have already posted previously it was initially developed for 1 player matching and that in 2.2 or later they will update it to be a 2 or 3 person party able to queue for Duty Roulette (Low Level, Guildhest, High Level), and up to 7 players to queue for Main Scenario (8-man).

I always queue for dungeons with my bf, we are both quite upset that we can't do duty roulette with the two of us and we can't participate in commendations :(.

Yeah, same. My fiance and I pretty much do everything together in the game - on our mains, at least. It's rather sad that we can't even participate in handing out commendations because of this.

It's so you can't just circle jerk each other while gaining exp.

Meanwhile in game: "Who wants to trade commendations?"

I found it highly amusing having played Lineage 2 with recommendations.

Because going with 3 buddies and having them give you their commendations would be too easy to farm, use the solo roulette, be nice and helpful.

It also prevents the a lot of speedruns. Imagine you can SR a dungeon and get that sweet extra bonus. That's bs. It doesn't prevent ALL the SRs, since you have to be lucky and be matched up with a group that: Knows how to SR. Is geared enough to SR. They're the perfect combination of classes for that. And, as the players mentioned, it promotes the commendation system. Queue, be nice and you will receive your reward and the feeling of doing a good job.
