low level roulette is still busted

if all 4 party members are synced it picked a bad instance. people are tired of getting tam-tara over and over again yet it continues to happen. these instances are not fun once you get past the beginner phase and they should almost never be picked unless someone is an appropriate level.

That's kinda true. If all four players are synced, then it sounds like it should have picked a higher level instance. Don't think any changes to DR are in the works tho.

Agreed, I nearly creamed my shorts when I got AV and garuda

Guildhests still suck too. I still get turtle half the time and the others are either the gauntlet with the toad and yarzons behind rocks at the end or like the very first one with the goobue and his minions.

They're all a freaking joke too.

that's odd I haven't gotten sastasha or tamtara at all since the update.
My recent low levels include brayflox, hauke manor, titan, stone vigil and hey yesterday I even got Aurum Vale!

I prefer getting tam tara and sastasha (or ifrit ftw hi2u 180k for 8mins) I can get my 200k+ exp (Lv. 45) for 20mins work vs getting 120k plus the 60k bonus when I get SV for 45mins work. If you want more exp from the dungeon queue specifically for the highest you can enter . The Duty roulette gives you a bonus based on the difference in level between your level and the dungeons level to make up the difference in exp lost per mob but time wise its MUCH more time efficient when you get a low level dungeon that can be done in 15-20mins than getting cutters cry which can take an hour or more (if your group doesn't abandon it and make you re-queue completely) after a single wipe.
I am quite happy with how the duty roulette is now I have gotten runs of higher level dungeons and honestly when I get them its not always because someone hasnt done it before it means someone was smart enough to queue for that specific dungeon for exp and you got dropped into the first available dungeon someone was looking for in specific. That and most of the higher ones simply arnt worth the time (AV I would be better off joining one of the 90 PF groups looking to farm it for exp than DF it and wipe to golem for 30mins before someone uses vote abandon)

To be fair, none of the dungeons are meant to be much fun, they are all tutorials.

That's working under the assumption that everyone is using roulette. I still queue for Tam-Tara at level 30 because I want the full acolyte set. It will still show me synced, and I will often get teamed with roulette players.

It is Roulette. By its very nature, the dungeons are randomized. This is intended. It's not broken. Besides, you get more experience with a greater level vs dungeon difference. Your argument is not felt by the majority.

Isn't busted. rng is rng.

It could also be that they're over-level but they haven't unlocked the instance yet.

This past week for me has been Copperbell, Stone Vigil, Cutter's Cry, Sastasha, Sastasha, Sastasha and then finally Titan. Seems to be working as intended.

I like seeing Sastasha, Copperbell, Tam-Tara, Toto-Rak and Halatali pop up. It means I'll get my daily reward without having to work for it. Mindless fun FTW!

I'm gonna queue up for duty roulette.

But I'm gonna mark off Sastasha, Tam Tara, Totorak, Brayflox, Stone Vigil, Aurum Vale, and I think that's it.
What do we have left? Oh Darkhold---- NO we aren't doing that one. Ifrit it is >.>

It's a roulette for a reason, it's supposed to be random

Funny. Just got Tam-tara and everyone was Lv40 or higher. But, easy tomes! I guess. :p

Last weekend I had Temple of Quarn, Stone Virgil and Ifrit in low level roulette. And guildheists were also not the usual level 10 and 15 quests but this time a level 25 and level 30 guildheist. I personally love the variety and don't want Sastasha or Copperbell mines all the time. But the downside is, not everybody wants a "challenge" or let's better say Change and in some dungeons I had a hard time keeping the groups together. Especially Quarn was difficult although I do not understand where the problem really is lol. All fights were explained, atmosphere was friendly and I am unsure if it was still too hard for some or if they just aimed for something quicker. I still had a good time and levelled my monk without a single Fate so all good on my side. ;)

I have a lvl 42 mnk that constantly roulette's Tam-Tara, Satasha, Copperbell Mines or Ifrit. I've only gotten Brayflox and Cutters Cry once. Been a few times where we look at each others levels and just vote abandon as soon as we can.

Ive only recently joined and in the 10 days ive been doing this I have had turtle everytime, and for dungeons ifrit twice, and Tam Tara 8 times.

What i also dont get is that me and my brother are both healers, I queued up before him yet he still got in an instance faster??

Earn some more levels and you would also get Aurun Vale after you unlocked the dungeon in the DF

I never get Tam Tara.
Always stupid Ifrit. QQ

I love it when I get Ifrit. 3 minutes fight and a wooping 120k EXP bonus at the end. So far only one group was unable to survive the fight. The rest was more than fine. Sadly I only had Titan once so far. Always a pleasure to bring him down in his 1st incarnation you meet in story mode before he turns out to be your personal nightmare lol.

Since the update, I've gotten SO much Haukke Manor. >_<

I don't think there's any problem with the randomness of the Roulette, though. To be honest, I was expecting to still see a lot of Copperbell, Sastasha, etc since folks leveling low-level alt classes for cross-class skills are gonna wind up there and suck other Rouletters in there with them. Maybe the change SE made was to give more weight in the randomizer to higher-level dungeons as long as all four members qualify?

Maybe. But when everyone in your group is a Job and level synced higher than 30 and you're still getting the first 3-4 dungeons every day? Random is finicky. :p

My last week: Cutter, Sastasha, Titan, AV, Stone Vigil, Tam Tara, Darkhold. Seems to be working as intended to me.

Level sync alone is not an indicator that the first three or four shouldn't have been picked. If ONE person manually queued for a specific dungeon, three others could be pulled from roulette.

you're unlucky, that's it. I got stone vigil plenty of times.

I keep getting cutter's cry. I wish I could get tam-tara only.

Its gotten alot better :) i get brayflox and titan all the time now and before only tam-tara

The problem with low level roulette is that there are FOUR rolls, and ALL of them have to be in ur favor to get a higher lvl dungeon:

You "roll" ur 3 party members. Lowest lvl player limits what instance u can get.
Then u still have the rng chosing the dungeon.

The roulette is working as intended... It is made to fill in the slots for people using the DF to run a dungeon... It's by no mean's "random" Someone qued for the dungeon and now its filling the voids...
