Duty Roulette, 2.3 and the Daily Reset

[Kitfox]

Server always crash within 1hr after a big patch, and goes into 1-2hr of emergency maintenance.

Quoted for truth.

Quoted for truth.

Defiantly can't deny that. But here's an odd ball thought. recall how almost all big patches finish little earlier then they should have? I think they keep tabs on how many clients have finished the update download after it goes live and if they have enough finished clients the open up the servers early so that we become the stress testers and the well that's a bug that QA didn't catch. Therefore pushing the rest of the maintenance after the player base stress test.

I forgot tonight was the starting of the patch. Logged in, went "holy @!*%" and then found my FC members on already did their roulette ex daily and didn't want to go again. So as PLD, decided what the hell, jumped in and got.....Bray!!!

With SMN, SCH and MNK. Told them we only have 20 minutes, so going to rush and will try not to screw up myself. Everyone agreed? Great!

Beat that s--- in 13 minutes! They were all on the BALL!!! I even had 7 minutes to handle my retainers. Yay! (Tho got scarey when my HP was around 300-1200 for about 30 seconds on that first pull....no deaths, no wipes. Boom!!!)

See you all tomorrow.

Before you can even do your expert roulette after patch you will need to unlock the three new dungeons and complete them one time, then be able to do them more then likely.

Yup. Totally. Happened after last patch, needed to do a dungeon hadn't done before allowed to do roulette. Wonder if the expert roulette will change for the daily Alex map to high level? Doubtful. Will just have to hunt until all dungeons are done by/over the weekend.

Expert roulette is equal to alexandrite map.
If u are good sch, trials roulette myth/min is not inferior to elite bray myth sr. Even if its titan hm.
Solo expert/High lvl roulette can serve as relax spiritbonding run while still getting myth.

Too much mythflox and ur brain may flop.



Ct loot resets at the same time sol does. Thats 3 hours before the scheduled maintenance finish.

Mythflox brainflop
The real name of the dungeon mm.

I know that it's like two hours after the servers have gone down now buuuuuut, you realize that with the changes to roulettes, adding in Ramuh for trials, and switching up expert and hard, you will now have to unlock ramuh and the three new expert dungeons and complete them all at least once to even be able to do those two roulettes after the patch, right? Sooooooo, I would think not enough time between when the servers go up and the reset to get all of that done. Just sayin'.

[Marael]

Who cares...? It's far more efficient to join a myth pf group than to do roulettes. Roulettes are a handicap for people who can't find a group.

Uh, no... Roulettes give VARIETY so I don't want to bash my own brains out running the same one dungeon 4000 times. Less tomes per time spent, but at least I don't want to hang myself from the shower rod because of the mindless repetition. Plus alexandrite map for expert. You want to run brayflox a billion and one times over and over and over and over again, you go right ahead, but don't insult those who would rather do roulettes instead for a little variety in their lives.

also, wont be able to do myth runs and leave after second boss anymore. According to patch notes leaving within 10 minutes of the dungeon starting will now incur the 30 min penalty, and since it only takes maybe 5 minutes to reach the second boss, you might as well finish it.

Wrong. The patch notes say that is ONLY when doing a roulette with a party. It says nothing about premades going into a specific instance.

The exact quote is:

"When joining Duty Roulette as a party, abandoning the duty within the first 10 minutes will incur a penalty."
