Couples geting the shaft on duty roulette

[Sessurea]

All square need to do is limit it to duo queue in roulette. Honestly, I rarely get newbies in roulette. I would love to get newbies for the exp bonus when I spam dungeons on my alts, but I very rarely get it.

Also use brain lol, square obviously wont let a party of 5 use the roulette.

Well it looks like my hubby and I and stop payment again till 2.3.

LOL ru serious? You're in the same room, or near each other at least. You can still talk (in person)! You don't need to be in the same instance to do that. One roulette a day and you're done, then you can queue up and do other stuff together.

Greetings,

Sorry to bump this thread, but I have additional information regarding the feature that will allow players to use pre-made parties in the duty roulette. The development team is currently working on this and they plan to address this in patch 2.3.

doesnt this defeat the purpose of duty roulette? I thought duty roulette was to help people clear content that is not being selected on a regular basis.

Maybe they're finding it's working better than expected and can take the small hit of people that would do this.

imo any couples should re-evaluate the "need" to only exp together; dungeon level syncs do a wonderful job of being still capable of partying together despite level differences. Let your more active significant other play as much as they like and it doesn't limit you playing together when you can in the slightest.

What they should really do is make it so that you cannot vote the person (or people) you entered with as MVP when you join up as a group for the Duty Finder. Also they should halve the reward for people that join as a group then join solo. Duty finder helps many people that can't make their own group finish content. There needs to be a reward for, or more a a reward for someone that joins solo.

I know for a fact if I have the option for the same reward as if joining solo in the duty finder, I will just use my friends list, party finder, or irl friends and only do content with them. There is no incentive to do anything with any random people solo anymore and that will do more hurt then good for the total player base. Yes, I could be that good person and join just because and help people out, but not everyone will do that. In a perfect world we would, but this is online, people will do the most efficient thing the most.

I wouldn't be opposed to a in-game system that say for example, knows you are with friends on friends list, linkshell mates, or people in your free company and based on that automatically give you a bonus exp, tomes, whatever. Nothing crazy, but something to promote playing with your friends and FC more often. Just not as much as a bonus for someone joining a group activity solo.

I would have to agree, the whole point of the system is to benefit solo players or people who don't mind helping others out.

This is another case of SE bending to the will of the whiners.

It's just common sense to let people queue up together for the duty roulette. As the name suggests, the purpose of the roulette is not to benefit solo players. It is to reward players for challenging the random selection of an instance. That is what a roulette is all about. It has nothing to with being solo.

I think you're underestimating the emotard population. If they aren't able to emote their undying love for their rl/in-game partner every 5 seconds it places the servers at serious risk of being submerged under a sea of indignant tears.

What its called is of no relevance to me, the original purpose of the system was what I mentioned above, now people are QQing and SE are bowing to the pressure (As usual).

I also play this game with my partner but we aren't that deficient in independence that we can't do things separately.
