Couples geting the shaft on duty roulette

[Ninji]

Bottom line, this is an MMO game, people in the MMO world want to play with friends, take that away in any way shape or form, you are alienating the reason why people play a game such as this. And before saying something like "well they aren't taking anything away", yes...yes they are, the choice between friends or efficiency, one will be taken away. Look at pvp, queuing as dps, healer, or tank solo or with a group it is all fast, so don't tell me that this is to help out the solo queuing person, those queues pop quickly either way. You give incentive to play the game and do something like roulette and take away the ability to do it with others, it is an objectively bad thing to do. 3/3 end rant. Only 1000 characters per post? o.O seems short...

Why do you all care how fast you level or farm? If you are spending time with your loved one does it really freakn matter that you are spending your time playing together doing everything AS FAST as possible? You all can fight and argue as much as you want the roulette will not change. If they start letting 2 people que up then there will be people bit#$!ng about not being able to que with 3 because the 3rd is their child or something.

You run one DF without your SO a day it won't kill either of you. Get over yourself.

No, technically on this she is right. They are 4 DF per day. Oh well, 3 for the tomestones bonuses. They can take quite some time. Especially if any goes wrong.

The problem is that. as it has been well explained, the DR are there to help filling the missing slots for beginners. Allowing a party to join, even if made of only two people, would break a bit that mechanism. Couples of DPS would steal tanks and healers to the other teams, making things worse. Unless they are a tank/healer couple, sure. But that would be a very rare scenario. And it would require too many case by case rules to implement. Not going to happen.

So the only problem here is that you want the bonus...

agreed, I would love to help lowbies run their dungeons, but not at the expense of not playing with my wife. no reason duty roulette is restricted, one thing this game needs less of is restriction.

at the very least allow 2 players so like the OP said couples can get in, but I see no reason 3 cant join the it and help a person get thru there dungeon.

Its going to cause us to use it only when the other can't play which is about never.

....actually Im willing to bet most couples do in fact play a tank and healer....at least my wife and I have a lot because then you can duo well.....or one of us is ALWAYS a tank or healer, and possibly the other is a dps.

Im get the idea, so don't allow 3 people to party, just allow couples too I don't care, I will do it when she cant play, my only hate on FF tho, is all the restriction, its constant....they should open it up a bit more

[sylin]

plain and simple anytime you limit something its bad, is it too much work to allow dungeons to scale? I mean...cant you allow more than 4 party members in these dungeons and just have a multiplier to mob stats? Im asking I don't know, but seems like they could just do that. and allow couples or 3 or 4 to join 3 solo players. Whatev, if this is how it works, we wont run it as oft as we would, if the idea is to get more people running the dungeons, it fails on couples, and in my FC there are about 10 married couples and more unmarried couples so its a % of players.

Why do you all care how fast you level or farm?

The choice is...do 2 hours of dungeons with roulette while solo or do 4 1/2 hours of dungeons while with friends or your SO for the same amount of reward. When people only have a limited amount of time they are able to play the game, why are they shafted from the reward? The rewards for the roulette save on average 2 hours and 40 minutes worth of dungeons, those 2h40m could be spent doing other things such as dailies and pvping. My g/f and I only have 4 hours available to us per day, but to get the same amount of reward we must do over 4 1/2 hours worth of dungeons? This is a game we all share and you want some kind of exclusivity? Things progress slowly in this game, the devs throw us all a bone to progress faster but with a heavy stipulation...and people like you mock people like me due to situation? Am I not allowed to want something SE has given to you while playing the same game without stipulation?

[sylin]

Ouch....yes my wife and I are very dependent on each other....we call it love...what do you call it? I have a finite amount of time on earth, I need to spend it with my woman...is that really a bad thing in your eyes? If other peoples love isn't like that Im cool with it...but yeah my wife and I don't choose to do things separate, we aren't separate we are married, if we were in fact separate...what would be the point of being married...wouldn't it be the same as unmarried but together? Its not for us at least. Not trying to call you out, just when you say marriage/love is worrisome dependency that makes me worried for you...don't miss out=)

The thing is, you can still play together, it's called 'using the duty finder and pre-making a party the exact same way you've been doing for the past 4 months'

Duty roulette is there to help people who don't have the same luxury of couples who can drag their other halves around and make them party with them. It's there to benefit people who manage to detach themselves for a modicum of time from their beloveds and help some poor bastard who isn't as fortunate and doesn't have anyone to help them, and it rewards them for this. Wether it be partners or close friends or whatever.

You horrible, self-centred people. You'd think you weren't being allowed to party at all together. Stop twisting because SE tried to help the people who can't as easily go about in couples/small groups.
