    whats up with duty roulette

    Everyday I get Cutter's Cry for low lvl, Pharos for high lvl. Never fail, every day since duty finder was introduced (pharos of course after that was launched). It says it puts you in the most needed dungeon or whatever but there is no way that these dungeons have had the most ppl queued up for them for months now. Out of 12 dungeons and 4 trials how is it after 100+ days give or take, I still get the same 2 dungeons every single time.

    Is this bugged? Am I bugged? After doing the dungeon this many times all I can say is...I HATE CUTTERS CRY!!!

    I can 'sometimes' get a different dungeon if I eat the 30 minute timer and leave but 9/10 it puts me right back into CC. Come on SE, this needs a fix

    My roommate is suffering from the same issue.

    Unhelpful responses aside, I can't say I've encountered that issue (in fact I've NEVER had Pharos turn up in Roulette), but I imagine that would be rather irritating. For a while, I kept getting Copperbell (the original one) or Haukke Original. Not as consistently as you might have but mileage varies, I'm sure.

    My best guess is that things just trend. I'd wager right now Brayflox HM might turn up a LOT for Expert Roulette right now. Unless you specifically want the Roulette bonuses, pick a range of what you're willing to run, and queue.

    The problem is you are misunderstanding how the roulette works. It prioritizes dungeons with parties forming, but that are missing members for prolonged periods. Usually, this is dungeons with low traffic, like SM Primals and the unpopular dungeons (P. Sirius).

    You only get into the stuff thats good when the DF doesn't have any undesirable content parties, essentially.

    Remember, the roulette is designed to help people who are doing unpopular content, not the person doing the roulette.

    This exactly, though it does sound like you've had some terrible luck. I get more or less the variety I'd expect out of the roulette, aside from some of the very low level dungeons popping up a bit more often than one might expect, but I suppose there are more people leveling to ~34 or so than beyond to get cross class skills.

    In expert roulette, I get more Brayflox HM than average, but also the others.

    In high level, before 2.2, WP was the most frequent (I hadn't unlocked Pharos) but the others also appeared. Now it seems Pharos is quite frequent (but not hard).

    In low level, the lowest level ones appear quite much, and Cutter's Cry and Stone Vigil, lately.

    For my taste, Aurum Vale and Sunken Temple of Qarn (before the nerf) were the most undesired low levels for the time they may take, depending on the party.

    I know the feeling - Luckily I haven't been doing my Low Levels as of late (because WAR just got to 50), but I literally got Tam-Tara Deepcroft for three and a half straight weeks. Not my favorite dungeon, by a long shot.

    Expert level: First week after patch kept getting Bray HM, now I keep getting Lost City for some reason.

    Low level: The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak seem to be popular. I almost never get anything above level 30.

    High level: Haukke HM or AK mostly.

    I think reason is "Books" for relic , they often have CC & Pharaos and other old stuff , so that's why...

    That might be contributing, but I'm not sure it's the sole reason. I tended to draw Cutter's a LOT even before the Animus books were released. Cutter's or Toto-Rak made up over 4/5ths of my low level roulette spins even pre-2.2.
