Make leveling roulette bonus permenant

[ChameleonMS]

I agree with the premises in general. This change should be limited to levelling jobs only. If you are a levelling a job, there is fundamentally no difference in XP between Levelling Roulette and highest available dungeon.
I would not allow the Roulette bonuses to be applied to more than once anyone at level 70 already.

They should have it so that the role in need (tank) doesn't use up the one bonus per day. Or make it a 50% chance so it doesn't change things that much but still gives more incentive to tank the leveling roulette.

I have never understood why this needs to be a once per day bonus. This helps new players level up, improves queue times for all dungeons and gives players a chance at not doing the same dungeon over and over again. I mean the bonus is equal to what you would get anyway had you done a dungeon that was meant for your level.

Even for high levels the tome bonus is smaller compared to 50/60, so they would still do other roulettes over this or spam an individual high level dungeon. personally I see no reason why this can't be a thing.

I dont really see the need leveling is super easy in this game hence why almost all my jobs or level 70 before the first patch

I'm not saying it's hard I'm saying it needs more variety.

I agree

More variety? There's roulette, normal dungeon runs, fates, potd, leves, grand company item exchange, front lines... or for the truely lazy the jump potions... what you're suggesting is just a reason to spam leveling roulette

Correct in the hope of getting different dungeons.

It would have a negative effect on queue times for DDs, as more DDs would be in DR:Leveling queue.

This is not like the cracked cluster incentive, which favors tanks and sometimes healers.

How would it have a negative effect if the dps are already in a queue for the highest dungeon?

DDs in queue for specific dungeons can only be placed in the specific dungeons for which they queue.

(For the following examples, assume all players are DDs, and assume positions refer to people across all queues)

Scenario A:
You are a Lv63 job in queue for the Lv63 dungeon, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is queued for the Lv28 dungeon. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will be passed over for person #2.

Scenario B:
You are a Lv63 job in queue for the Lv63 dungeon, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is a Lv30 job and is queued for DR:Leveling. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will be passed over for person #2.



Scenario C, with your suggested infinibonites:
You are a Lv63 job in queue for DR:Leveling, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is queued for the Lv28 dungeon. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will get the spot that would have gone to person 2.

Scenario D:
You are a Lv63 job in queue for DR:Leveling, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is a Lv30 job and is queued for DR:Leveling. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will get the spot that should have gone to person 2.


Worst case scenario, lower level players will be waiting in queue longer than they do currently because more high level DDs will be in DR:Leveling. Best case scenario, all the tanks and healers who are also currently queuing for specific dungeons will queue DR:Leveling instead, offsetting the extra DDs but leaving the lowbie queues in no better position than they were originally.

Bottomless bonuses are at best, a "not terrible" idea. They are not a "good" idea.

The faster you level, the faster you progress, the less subcription you pay.
