Marriage Roulette

[EnoraTaqa]

I'm sorry but, just wow. I think the ff14 forum community hit an all time low with some of the replies in this thread. I'm all fir not agreeing but, just the level of ignorance, arrogance and down right stupidity is just play wrong.

I see nothing wrong with this suggestion, I play with my boyfriend all the time, and I'm a good player. I think you guys citing disagreements citing that as "you're weaker for it" are, two things, first assuming the situation, and two mixing up a completely situation.

With assuming, we don't know anyone background, or relationship and shouldn't butt in on it.

As for of mixing up, this is a misconception because a few non gaming females try to play games with their boyfriend/husband or vise versa, which is again none of our business, and may not play well if not with their SO., or only play BECAUSE of their SO.

Mmo are best played with friends, df in mmo was built fir the new solo trend of mmo gaming where people with lil time solo queue to do stuff.

With the adaptation comment, I call bull. Playing with random players doesn't make you stronger or weaker. You adapt to the dungeon, not really how other players play. Some of the top guilds in mmo, aRe built up from players meeting and playing the same mmo becoming long time friends, and going to other mmo together.


I see nothing wrong with this suggestion, infect I fully support it and see now thing wring with adding a 2 player section of roulettes, why not it could be optional, may give people an incentive to group up together build server community

Which is something we should promote. Why not take it further and make solo roulettes, and 2 player roulette 4 player roulette and 8 player roulettes.


Give people more options and give reason to set up pf's outside of farming and raiding.

Ty for your words ^^ and yes more options for everyone, the better!

And there are two things I would say in response:
1. There are more people at cap than are leveling. More people = more combinations = easier to make teams
2. Ever notice the queue times on Expert v Leveling? I rest my case.

1. Easier to make teams for.. cap roulettes? Leveling: most of the time, it's 4 synced people, so no new members here to help, everyone is there for the high-bonus, and they know their roles, so..

2. not that much, considering we have almost instant queue me as healer and him as Tank ^^

I honestly see no problem with a roulette like this. However, if you queue with randoms (say the couple is the tank/healer duo), people expect everyone to know what they are doing, and/or have a basic grasp on how your job works by the time you hit endgame. The only problem(s) I see are: When healer isn't actually doing a good job of keeping people alive; Tank isn't trying to keep hate up... (Yes, I've ran into couples like these in expert and level 60 the last few weeks when I'm queued as Bard). I voice my concerns (in a polite manner) saying something about trying to be better. I got kicked once saying something in a civil manner, because the healer was so, so bad. I attempted to give advice to this person, and I got kicked, because of the majority vote of vote kick, and them being a couple and such. That is the only issue I see with couples queued together in dungeons (not saying everyone is like this. I've ran with a bunch of couples that were awesome sauce).

There'll always be bad and good sides to a topic. I just wanted to leave my opinion about this topic here. Please don't take offense to it. ; ;

No offence, your point is good. However, it's Duty Finder: you cannot expect anyone else to be like you (as you might be super-skilled even with Wanderer's Minuet on )

So even if they are good, 3 different people might judge you and votekick you, couple or not.

Moreso if you are polite and give suggestions that, they don't want to read or don't care or are playing on PS4 without a Keyboard or are Japanese that don't understand English ^^ (weird, with Japanese people, they seem to want to get the job done, even with wipes, versus NA where everyone seems on the verge, as if the game will stop and crash if they wipe once lol)

If you see that everyone is doing at least what they should (Tank - getting aggro, Healers: Heals first, then DPS if she wants (I do because it's boring otherwise, but I won't max my DPS with someone 3rd App, we don't care about this crap) and DPS - Avoid everything first, then DPS. (a dead DPS ain't giving any numbers)

I think everyone in the game, new or not, know what each roles pertain, but you cannot force anyone to do it, if they don't want to or just trolling because they are bored doing the same stuff for ages.

And consider this: my BF is playing since Beta: I just started the game, leveling up to 60, doing all dungeons as soon as they were available, but only doing them once, in order to catch up to HW. So, I know my role, I make sure we get through, I can fail to an AoE or mechanic, and I'm sure I'm not the only 'noob' here.

Veterans need to cut some slack to us, as it might be because of us that this game has some refresh with new subscribers

We enjoy the game, it's new and flashy, versus my BF, 2 years, 3.0 almost the rehash of 2.0, so he's been there, done that, but when he looks at me having fun, that helps him with his boredom.

Point is this: no matter who you're linked with, it's how you get along that makes it or break it.

So far, we encountered some DPS, even couples, that were new to their jobs (we are ok with this) but.. couldn't even Dodge anything!!

Can't wait to see Yoshi's New Beginner's Hall; should help everyone, new and old, into new classes/jobs, or perhaps to perfect themselves!

If you think this game as a game (to have fun, alone or with peeps) then the numbers and taking 5 mins longer to complete an instance shouldn't matter.

Sure, we won't do as many instance that day: but we had fun, and tomorrow another day!

Have fun in the game, with whoever you're with! ^^

EDIT: I just checked your profile, and you seem to be a Grandmaster of Magic! Kudos ^^

Lots of people might play this game with only one Job to the max, get into Raids, and think they are good. Sure, with their Jobs they are, no question. But in my opinion, they lack the experience from all the other jobs to make valid points and understand how the other roles are played (of course everyone knows a bit about other roles, but not as much as playing them, mind you ^^)

So yeah, if you play as BRD, and say politely that you main healer and could provide some tips, and you don't mind the wipes in order to help improve one person, that later would become better for it, and then helping the community... if you are kicked, it won't be by us for sure!

I'm glad to see you are leveling DRK (My BF's Favorite Tank with PLD ^^ - but I find him sooo squishy to heal, my benediction always ready for his Zombie-Mode lol)

Keep up the good work!

I'd love to see this happening. I am tired of all those solo roulettes. Because what's the point of having paid for a wedding if we can't barely do anything with our partner. Sure we can do things... But outside level 60? Not really!

[AeraLure]

Hahaha. This topic was not what I thought it was.

[kuma_aus]

I would like to see this feature in, but only for 8 player content roulettes.

So a system where you can sign up for Trial Roulette/Frontline Roulette/Main Scenario Roulette with the person you are eternally bonded with. Can't do it with anyone else, has to be someone you are eternally bonded with.

I don't think it's that bad to be 2 people playing together with a group of 8 randoms if they are eternally bonded characters.

[EnoraTaqa]

Hahaha. This topic was not what I thought it was.

Sorry I thought it was clear, seems I read some other post like you that thought something else: my apologies.

Hope you would stand in our side still

I thought some people were looking for completely random marriage partners and I thought to myself "There's a thread i have to read!" ^^

However yes, I do support the idea for expansion of the leveling roulette to be able to solo queue or go in with a group. Don't think we need a Marriage Roulette per se, but I am still intrigued by the marriage lottery. XD

Enora, just as a heads up, you can multiquote a single post. That way you won't have to post and post and post.

On topic, I have to disagree with a marriage roulette. My fiance and I enjoy playing together, and if we want to level in a dungeon, we simply flag up for the dungeon normally. Doing trials and guildhests solo don't bother me because they're usually done in 5-10 minutes (unless you get one of "those" groups), and MS Roulette is fairly quick as well.

Now I will agree that I would like to see the Leveling Roulette expanded upon.

[dekal]

It should not be locked to only married couple. It should allow us to do them those roulettes with two people.
