    Duty Roulette: Status of Leveling Roulette allowing parties

    I believe this was talked about before, and I thought it was going to happen with 3.1, but is there any update on when the Duty Roulette: Leveling Dungeons will allow for parties to queue together.

    I often find myself with a friend, and we are unable to take advantage of this Roulette, he playing a tank, and me a healer, just wanting to pick up some randos for DPS.

    Anyway, didn't know if there was an update on this, or this was scrapped for now.

    Thanks,

    There are two purposes for leveling roulette. First is to net you a lot of exp to help progress your secondary jobs faster. The second is to help fill in spots for people who are trying to finish content required to progress in the MSQ or someone queuing for a specific dungeon and need three people. To help fill in for older content. Making pre-made parties would go against that.

    I really fail to see how allowing parties of 2 (or for things like trial roulette, parties of 4) would go against this.

    Worst case: 2 DPS, nothing really changes.
    Middle case: A DPS, but also a healer or tank, so at least one person gets a faster queue and one needed role is taken care of.
    Best case: Healer + Tank, making things much better for DPS.

    In all cases, folks get to play with friends. And that can also draw in people who wouldn't otherwise queue for it.

    It is mostly in the benefit of others and you are rewarded for doing so. If you could make pre-made parties, they would likely reduce the reward.

    Velhart, your logic is flawed.

    Can you please elaborate?

    That is simply how I interpret their intentions in the design. Don't count it as an actual fact. I never gave a stance on how I felt about it either before you all start grabbing pitch forks.

    Doing what you suggest would defeat the whole purpose of the levelling roulette. It is mostly meant for new people and/or people levelling an alternate toon. It isnt meant for lvl 60 going into it wanting to get easy tokens. It is meant for players of higher levels helping lower levels to get through a place. What you want in appearance legitimate would make TRUE levelling players left aside and outside and left with longer queues.

    This is my opinion of course...we might even see what you suggest implemented who knows...but it would be a mistake. That particular levelling roulette is the only roulette where low level players (Under 50) can go. Higher players have the lvl 60 and exp roulettes to group together if they so wish.

    Of course, again, just my opinion.

    I've argued for this same thing before.

    At least allow people to have up to 2 people in their party for leveling roulette. This still leaves 2 more people, and will give people an actual reason to do leveling roulettes with their friends.

    "But Eidolon!" I hear people cry, "then a DPS will use a tank/Healer to get a faster que than a DPS without a tank/healer!"

    Except the fact that the thought in that statement instantly defeats itself, because you're actually bringing a tank/healer into the que who might not otherwise have done the que without them.

    I will not understand the people who are against such a system. I understand the concern if people are talking about doing a full premade party for leveling roulette - in which case, you are correct. If you have rested EXP, just do the current on-level dungoun. But it does not help those who want to play with their friends.

    while i do not disagree with a maximum of 2 people for a leveling roulette premade, this game has plenty of opportunities to play with your friends. im sure people can seperate for a roulette or simply find another activity to hold hands through. or simply do it when you have time away from friends.
