Fix Praetorium

[VanilleFang]

I get that you all want me to stop playing, but fortunately my FC and SE support has been really kind to me, and I know this kind of behaviour is not the norm.

You took what people said as personal attacks, which is utterly ridiculous. No one told you to stop playing or even implied that. How did your mind make such an incredible leap in logic? I am extremely curious to see where you connected the dots for this to even possibly make sense to you.

The way you have replied to people makes me think that you are rather immature. And I don't mean that as an insult. I mean it as in you're not very old and thus rather inexperienced and naive to things outside your own little world. Someone telling you to get over something that hurt your feelings is good advice. You literally said you were basically on the verge of quiting because people upset you because they did something you didn't like which is not only self absorbed but a pathetic reason to quit a game you seemingly enjoy.

And again no one knows what changes are being made.

As a side note: from what I've seen of how you react to what people say to you in this thread I am skeptical that the party you were in mocked you. You were new so they knew you wouldn't know how the dungeon works. I am thinking they probably informed you of something and you felt like they were mocking you. Like them telling you to stop attacking Ultima Weapon/healing before the light flashes or something.

I'm actually willing to bet that if people do still queue for Main scenario roulette, Newbies that are watching the Cut scenes and making everyone wait are going to start to be kicked instead... So I'd be careful what you wish for.

I never mind letting someone watch the cut scenes, I've even helped some groups do runs where we wait so the newbies can participate... But expecting others to wait for someone to watch stuff in Prae and CM... well, I understand why people don't wanna do it~!

They need to lower the item sync on it closer to around I 70 and make people kill adds before teleports

They need to first put one in.
There currently is no item level sync for Praetorium or Castrum Meridianum. It's only level sync.

I don't know if it needs to be as low as 70. If you make it too low, a lot of people won't queue for the roulette because it'll take too long, and then you'll see threads about people not being able to get a group in a reasonable amount of time.

I think they should first put an ilevel sync that's a little high (like 110 or 130) and see how the community reacts.

Personally I think all instances should have some form of ilevel sync.

I agree with this one.

One of my biggest gripes is that I regularly died in Praetorium due to most of the teams speedrunning through the mobs and ended up ganging up on me, along with any unfortunate tank/healers that couldn't reach the elevator/teleporter in time. These things really should've been locked until all the mobs are cleared like in every other dungeons in the game.

There is no source for that. All yoshi said was that they are aware of it and are pushing out a fix in 4.2. The rest is speculation.

There was source. I just couldn't find it, it was mentioned mid Live Letter and only there after all. And in the end it did happened.

Just wanted to come back and say, thank you Square Enix! You all have completely blown me away with your incredible support and attention to the game. You have taken a pair of instances that were broken, and completely fixed them with new players in mind. No longer do I have to give every sprout I meet a tediously long explanation about why they shouldn't queue for castum and praet normally, particularly when they are not there yet. I gave the MSQ a few runs, and I actually found those runs pleasurable to play now. It was neat to see all these jaded people in the runs simultaneously complain about the cutscenes, but then acknowledge that the dungeons were coherent and playable now. Thank you for fixing it!!!!! I think my favorite part was hearing players banter about plot points and characters, which I always wish people would do more of. I plan on running the MSQ at least a few times a week from now on. Thanks again!

Ô_o
Apparently we have very different opinions for the meaning of "fixed" regarding this dungeons.

Tell us how you feel when you are running the main scenario roulette for hundredth time with full group of players that have already completed these before and being forced to watch all the cutscenes.
