Has anyone else noticed that joining an In Progress Roulett doesn't work for Healers?

Just right now, I joined an in progress Brayflox as Tank, 2 dps were present and no healer.

Requested a healer to join via linkshell and she tried to join via low roulette with in progress selected, and.... nothing happens. Not even a duty prompt for some other party.

I've been suspecting this for some time now, I've not been able to join friends instances as healer via in progress roulette for weeks now, where it used to get me an in progress party fairly consistently if the adventurer in need was marked as healer.

it works. i wasn't able to join the in-progress someone needed help with. but i did get thrown in to someone else instance all together. also it's probably better to select the specific instance you want when trying to help someone. but it works.

When someone drops, party leader has to hit the button to replace them before anyone can join in progress.

Your healer probably got grouped with a partial party. If you want in progress for a specific dungeon, do it, not the roulette.

they have to select the specific instance, i find myself doing this for FC members a lot lately. and it works on my scholar.

Except, you know, they shouldn't have to.

If a rouletteable instance is lacking a party member, then they should get into that instance.

She didn't get any duty pops at all, leading me to believe that registering for a roulette with in-progress ticked is just (mostly) broken for healers.

The fact i've been having the same issues with the duty finder only reinforces that belief

No you, k? Two dps were likely sitting waiting on a reserved instance, and your healer joined it, still waiting on the tank. That instance probably wasn't the one that you were in, so if this healer had selected just that single dungeon instead of trying to get the roulette bonus on top of it, she would have joined you.

How long did she go without a pop, and was she grouped with 2 dps waiting on a tank? Not broken, just not set up where you can game the system 100%.

Kthnxbai.

Since you cant seem to grasp what Stoutertaru is saying let me lay it out for you. You join as a tank with 2 dps and no healer in another party there are just 2 dps waiting for a tank and a healer not in progress. You friend marks in progress roulette and joins the 2 dps<They still don't have a tank so no duty pops>. Which means the group of 2 dps were waiting for a healer before the group of in progress. The DF doesn't prioritize in progress > newly formed. Just because your friend didn't have a duty pop doesn't mean that they didn't join a party waiting for an instance.

I grasped, it just rejected it because hes ignorant and fails to comprehend what he is being told.

As do you.

Blacklist for the both of you.

Good luck not understanding basic mechanics of the game the rest of your life! PEACE!

Squall, he (the healer) didn't get the popup yet because the group ff14 was forming was not complete. So while he may not have seen a group yet, ff14 put him in a group it was making at the front of the que. Keep in mind that games like this with hundreds and thousands of players, nothing is handled "one at a time". Think of the front of the line as the food line of a taco bell, but instead of 1 person making tacos, you have 25, each one with their own tray.

that is why even if you are an in demand class (It changes depending on times here, but in wow, tank was always the in demand class for 5 mans) it still might take a minute before you see an invite, namely during busy times. you've got 25 pairs of hand and logic sorting out the front of a very big line. Oh yea and those 25 hands are pretty much handled on the same processor that worlds are being run by, so it isn't all "limitless resources".
