Any Word On Group Roulette?

[Gilthas]

If you're asking to queue as a group for Duty Roulette to get the bonuses, you're basically asking them to throw out the window the main reason why they put it in the game in the first place: to help people playing solo get a group more easily.

DR doesn't prevent people from doing stuff with their friends. Surely capping your weekly tome allowance slower is a small price to pay for being able to play with your friends. Hell, most people in my FC cap their Myth during THs.

If they're going to add a group roulette, I second the thought other players have mentioned.
"Remove the bonus associated with the roulette if queuing in a party equating to two or more players."
Either that, or don't bother working on a group roulette feature. Its just going to negate the current purpose of the DR if the bonus still applies to a group queuing.

The problem is, dungeons were one of the only things I could do with friends outside of a static group.
Coil, primals and sometimes even the Crystal Tower parties are the same tight knit groups, only when it comes to the daily roullete did people think "Wow, I wish I could go with my friends I never get to play with anymore..."

Dungeons aren't the only content you can do with friends, but if you can get your bonuses together and have fun at the same time, why not group together?

How is it stinting it? You don't HAVE to do the duty roulette. The duty roulette has no unique content. You are choosing 40 tomes over your friend. If 40 tomes means "you no can no longer enjoy the game with your friends" then you must not really be friends. And again, its 40 tomes ONCE a day.

I still don't get why it's an issue.

Two Roulletes

[Solo and Group Roulette], you'd still have the option to do either. Nothing is forcing you to group up for daily roulletes, and nothing is forcing you to do them solo either (once released).

You're still going to be paired with other players seeking a dungeon regardless of this new addition, so what difference would it make if you both queued seperateley or in a group? The difference is particularly minimal.


People will still queue solo. Other MMO's have proven this.

I usually heal or tank and a buddy of mine does the opposite of what I am doing. Since the introduction of Roulette we noticed that the amount of time we were spending together hanging out dropped to almost never. So we stopped doing Roulette because we want to hang out together. SO you just lost a healer and tank from the DF, does that make it faster for you?

Exactly. This is the only point I want to get across strongly.

I'm missing finding things to play with friends (outside of weekly locked out content), which there simply doesn't seem to be in ARR at the moment.

Snip

Because people will group que with an entire party. Then get the daily bonus. The daily bonus is suppose to support DF and solos. You can already get quick, fast and smooth runs with your friends. You don't need more incentive on top of that. Which is why I said two might work. More than that defeats the primary purpose. DPS will still be sitting in ques for hours on end because two dps and a tank que'd together and stole the solo healer sitting in the waiting pool.
