Why not Extreme Roulette with Allied marks as a reward?

For 2.4 or later make a roulette for Extreme Primals. Garuda, Titan, Ifrit, Mog, Leviathan and possibly Ramuh.

I know this will be avoided like the plague but maybe if they gave Allied Marks as a reward and a bonus if a new person completes it. Maybe even a chance at Blood Spattered log randomly dropping to a party member for completing the daily roulette? Or

Or even making those Rowena Tokens which aren't worth pretty much anything anymore to be exchangeable for allied marks?

*Waits for someone to make a Titan EX Oprah meme*

Would have to be a few hundred for me to run a roulette

Regardless of how broken is the hunt right now, I think Allied Seals should remain as a currency for open world activities, and perhaps add more open world activities that reward Allied Seals.

Following this train of thought, I wouldn't mind higher level maps for AS, tougher levequests for AS, or a new series of repeatable quests for AS. I personally hate the hunt system as it is. Participating feels a lot like clocking in as a security guard at an office building. There's not really anything to do, you just sort of need to be there and semi alert for a long period of time to get any sort of meaningful reward.

There's currently almost no point in levequests unless you're actively leveling something (probably a crafter or gatherer). People who only play combat classes (or leveled their crafters a while ago) probably have been sitting on 99 for some time. Why not make some difficult levequests (potentially for a party instead of solo) to get the same rewards by actually doing something instead of running around scouring a zone til you (or likely someone else) finds a mob that you can obliterate in seconds?

This is a good idea. Make more open world activites to get allied seals. I wonder what though.

I just figures some players are still stuck on their brick wall of ex primal, and on the other hand players who can't go to hunts for whatever reasons (too many players in one spot thus leading to a invisible monster, teleporting to zones and something is dead)

Combine the two issues into a once per day activity can help other people out

because sometimes (and by this i mean most times) the most we ever get it
LOOK OUT FOR THAT BUS
what bu~Splat

TARGET DEAD <pos>

even when actively looking the and finding it the Zerg rush that follows allows me and my party to get very few marks unless we join a group who always seem to be he first to find them >..>

its not to make it easier its just another way to get them then the stupidly "easy" but incredibly riddiculas hunt system we have now

its painfully easy to get allied seals why do they need to be part of a roullette?

That gives me an idea, revamp the treasure hunt system, specially peisteskin maps, difficulty scaled based on average party item level (that way no one can faceroll) and it could give allied seals as a reward.

Treasure hunts are just like levequests, just with a smaller timer and a chest with rewards.

Not everyone likes to or is able to participate in the mindless zerg that became the hunt.

ex primals roulette? I great idea on paper, but the rewards would have to be substantial.

I think I would pass on any reward less than 300 seals. The EX primals would be a nightmare with 7 other random player, especially Ramuh.

Agreed on the roulette, but make it so that you can pre-form parties before queing.

This and I fear people would become even less tolerant of those who need to learn the fights or haven't gotten their win yet.

AS are a GC currency, they could make endgame GC leves that reward them or add them to the provisioning/supply missions at lvl 50 just like roulettes reward tomes at that level.

Not too bad of an idea.

Something I'd add is have extremes award a small amount of Allied Seals on their own as well. In addition change hunts to award Philosophy Tomestones and make the iLVL 70 darklight gear available again for purchase with those tomestones.

Anyone can participate in a hunt. So that's false. Heck I went in as a level 18 WHM and still got some seals. The "liking to do hunts" part.. well thats a personal problem. I don't "like" to do Syrcus Tower or Coil, but I don't think some equivalent rewards should be brought out in the open world for those so I don't have to do them purely because I don't "like" it.

I did an A mark today because it was right in front of me and it still disappeared twice. And there weren't even a lot of people, so... nope, PS3 are still screwed out of the hunts a lot of times.

More ways to get Allied Seals in general is a good idea. I'm tired of hunts. I think it'd be nice to give people an incentive to do leves more. I've been sitting capped on those for the longest time--seems wasteful.

People need to start a million threads asking them to fix A ranks too then. But since the patch I haven't heard a word about A's disappearing until now and I hunt alot.

It was probably and A because there were only a dozen people (or at least that's how many there were on my screen) , and yet it disappeared twice..As soon as it moved di disappeared once, I took a couple of steps and it reappeared again, and then as soon as it moved again it disappeared and had to take a couple more steps... Even when I located the zerg mob and joined them it still took around 10 seconds to load.

Now granted they could probably fix your A ranks disappearing on PS3, because Im not entirely certain the same measures they put in place for S ranks are being used for A's. If they aren't they really should be smart and just make all monsters have display priority... (not just the ones that cause problems for people)

But anyways, not to derail this thread. I'm still against Allied seals being a part of Duty Roullette's. They are too easy to attain even with display priority issues. (I know because I went through the same scenario u mentioned before they fixed them and even with all of the problems it took me only 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to get my full set of soldiery upgraded.) For the same reason I don't think they should be added to levequests either. This of course is just my own opinion, so take it with a grain of salt so to speak.
