A simple plea: Add the The Aetherochemical Research Facility to the EX Roulette.

With the addition of the new gear, a little extra variety in the way we earn our Esoteric tomestones can go a long way when we're faced with the long wait to 3.1. Hints seem to point that we'll be doing this for the next 3-4 months at the very least, as the dev team needs a good break.

As it stands right now, our current endgame has us running only 2 dungeons (Neverreap and Fractal) through our EX roulette, which currently makes it a relatively efficient means of gathering Esoterics in a single event once a day. Just those two dungeons alone will get old, and fast. Like, Brayflox HM old.

The Aetherochemical Research Facility is, in my opinion, a very well designed (read: beautiful) and fun dungeon that is so underplayed due to lack of common roulette use. Don't even need to add gear to the drops, maybe just a bit of extra Law Tomes to balance out the rewards?

I agree Facility is a lvl 60 run so idk why its not part of the runs:p

They want to avoid the whole "skip cutscene" people make in the dungeons so they didn't put it in Expert this is only an assumption though but I believe I am most likely right.

I was thinking because its an easier run. It also doesnt naturally award Eso tomes if run outside of roulette unlike the other two. If it was added and I ended up in it I'd feel cheated of the extra tomes I'd have if it were the other two.

I understand people might wanna skip the CS's... but if they're not gonna give us a third (brand new) dungeon to run, please at least give us the opportunity of having 3 diff chances of dungeons. Neverreap and Fractal ARE gonna get really old really fast :/ The three EX dungeons before 3.0 kept things are least moderately interesting (even when I got AK HM like 5 days in a row... xD)

Easy. Add Eso tomes to the dungeon normally.

I do think there'd definitely need to be an adjustment in rewards (Eso Tomes added to each boss, and a small bonus) to bring it alongside the others. Hell, add in the dungeon drops from the other two EX dungeons to keep up with gearing new characters coming through, even. I can't imagine making adjustments such as those would be too difficult to balance in.

It just seems such a waste of a pretty fantastic dungeon design and opportunity to add variety to the main roulette we'll want to run daily, especially for those of us relatively short on time to run multiple roulettes!

Its even longer then Never Reap.. Please no..

If anything, shove it in the Main Scenario and up its rewards.

As far as cutscenes are concerned, I didn't find them to be all that bad in this dungeon.

I think the main issue is that it's set below the difficulty level of the other two dungeons. A far more fitting solution would be to slot it into the MSQ roulette.

I want to see gubal library in the EX roulette. Place is crazy sexy and awesome. Even though everything about it classifies it under leveling roulette. Still though!
