Suggestion: Role Roulette

I think a fun twist on the duty roulette would be one that randomly selects one of your eligible classes/jobs to play as.

actually thats not a horrible idea, having everything to 50 and properly geared up, I like to switch it up every now and then when doing regular instanced content. Tough, I suppose it would be hard to do if it has to check your item level too. That would be the hard part of the implementation. But I suppose the easiest way would be to find a virtual dice and decide which result would be the class you ran on, then finding out what class you want, then sign up to said content that you've switched over to. It's at least a way it can be done without the need of SE developing a tool for it.

10/10 would play.

love this idea.

Spoiler allert: you will be tank if you have a tank role

i like the idea. but then u will find a lot more people who cant play there other classes that they leveld. i mean i see a lot of players not know how to play there main class and letting them have something like this... lol u know

Give me some whiskey and I would do this all night!

Can't wait to be a Carpenter in Pharos Sirius :D

On topic: Sounds like a great idea! I think it'd be quite fun!~

Imagine you don't have all your gears for tank with you at that moment and you entered the dungeon as a tank, naked.

I like the idea of attacking Titan with a party of Level 50 Miners.

"Look at that heart, lads! That's gotta be worth a Sultan's ransom! CHAAAAAARRRGGGEEE!!!!!"

I'm game for that.

Unfortunately...there's always a drawback.

If you have a tank...you're going to be a tank. Won't fail...it'll be like the Duty Roulette before it got fixed; you get something other than Sashtasha, Tam Tara, Copperbell, Halitali or Ifrit and you were extremely lucky...

I still feel extremely lucky if I don't get Sastasha, Tam-Tara, Copperbell, Halatali, or Ifrit. The only thing the so-called fix added to my repertoire was Titan. I can't remember the last time I got anything else.

I was totally thinking about that the other day.


I don't know what I feel like doing today. Job Roulette would solve that.

Huh... I feel extremely lucky when I *do* get those in duty roulette. They're cakewalks. Dead easy runs for the daily reward, especially as the "Needed Role".

Before the fix, I got Sastasha and Copperbell so much I wanted to vomit everytime I saw the loading cutscene. Now, I've gotten Haukke Manor 5 days in a row followed by Ifrit.

Either a lot of people are doing Haukke or I just got lucky. I could run that instance all day. Easy yet not boring like the first 4.

The idea is nice and I would use it but there are also downsides. People already quit certain dungeons as soon as they enter because they do not like them for whatever reason. Cutters Cry, Brayflox, Temple of Quarn, Aurum Vale and Pharos are the most prominent quitter dungeons so it is not only one dungeon that's affected sadly. What do you think happens if people register to such a run with a char they do not feel too confident with? Or is severely under equipped? Stage, Exit left I guess. Alternative: wipe feast. Dunno if I should really look forward to that and zoom my camera to the max lol.

Whooaa I actually really like this idea, but as others have mentioned since tanks are always in high demand if you have once leveled you'll be playing tank A LOT :P

I like the idea a lot, yeah!

Even if I actually enjoy tanking, being DPS doesn't exactly dislike me, and I suck healing.... It would be really fun to have such a random selection... Maybe an option similar to "Join a party in progress?" a square we decide to mark or not. Would be super fun...

"Oh, I'm sorry, game decided to send me here as healer... Well, no problem if you people die! I have raise!...Just ask me for use it"

Great idea!

Best implementation of this: have it be a checkbox akin to "join in progress"

When checked, applies an additional bonus (not as hefty as roulette bonus, but a lesser bonus that is able to stack with roulette).

As much as I like to see that happen, I think there's too many problems that can occur for it to work, I'm guessing it's the same reason why we have to change job to repair our gear.

Sounds like a good idea, though most likely everyone will start lamenting how they always get to tank if they have tank unlocked. :P

How should the feature change your class/job if you don't have all your weapon types with you? (easy to manipulate)
What is if you have all the weapon types, but some of the weapons are lv 35 for one of your lv 50 class and the roulette send you to Aurun Vale with it because you have no higher level weapon for this class? (easy to upset the other players)
What is if you have the right weapon with the right level, but no gear for the class with you except saisonal event gears? (easy to upset the other players)

Why don't suggest anyone gear roulette? ^^

I thought the same. If you have the weapons for a gear saved in the retainer, so you can't equip that gear, ergo, don't use that class... You'll avoid using the classes you don't want to randomely. People would use it probably for avoid tank... In my case for avoid healing.

A noobs Reborn

Would be a good idea. I can just see it now though...

Class: Healer
Dungeon: Pharos Sirius

... over and over and over. I always get it when I queue as a healer anyways. Which I don't mind. Just people always rage quit.

But yeah, it'd be a fun idea!
