MSQ Roulette During Early Access

[Baka_Neko1]

Could we skip cutscenes again during MSQ roulettes so we can attempt to 61 our GNB and DNCs in early access quickly please? HoH spam is inevitable, but the cutscenes in MSQ roulette make it mentally straining and not worth running for exp at the moment. LVL60 is also an awkward level for exp. It's slower than literally any other lvl on the path to 70 currently.

That's the price you pay for the roulette rewards. Don't want to commit to a whole 45 minute run? Run something else.

Don't think that another thread was needed for this topic even if you suggest it is for early access only

60 is an awkward level. they've discussed that they're trying to make sure 70 doesn't have the same issue that 60 did going into SB and still will going into ShB. having a nice way to get past 60 into 61 would make the struggle a lot better.

I mean kind of answered yourself right there. its not worth the exp. it probably wouldnt be anyway beyond the daily (which you would only get 4 of max anyway). its not going to take you all 4 days to get from 60-70, even with a cutscene-less MSQ.

Couple up with the fact that gunbreaker is a... tank? as in theres no queues anyway?

Dancer might have some awkward times without a friend and might be stuck in roulettes and HoH... but gunbreaker? you have the pick of the litter and plenty of viable and variety of options and dungeons without needing to resort to MSQ roulette.

honestly, if we're on the topic of useless roulettes, why dont we get up in arms over the guildhest roulette? those stop scaling after 50. they take like 5 minutes and STILL arent worth it! this is unacceptable.

I'm not worried about using the whole early access to get caught up, I'm worried that half my day1 struggle will be spent getting to 61 as opposed to the rest of the way to 70 so I can catch back up to the crowd going into MSQ. Spoilers are hard to avoid and I'd rather catch back up before people are done with too much ShB content.

The problem with this is that there is an influx of new players. These people will be thrown into the same situation that caused the MSQ cutscenes to be mandatory; being forced to skip or get left behind if they want to experience the story as it goes, because vets are impatient and only care about their own needs.

You choosing to level up a new class instead of doing the ShB MSQ is not the fault of the devs or new players. You're choosing to level up a new class instead of doing the story, and then trying out the new classes afterwards. Is it inconvenient? For sure, but that's the compromise being made.

Agreed. I love the guildhests and would love to see them fixed up some, and have more added.

Do your Ananta and Kojin beast tribes, that should get you to lvl 61 easy for atleast one of them. Do it for DNC and your GNB can easily be done via dungeons due to faster ques times.

60 -> 61 has always been pretty fast for me, unless you intend to use roulette exp on something else day 1 I don't see why it'd be slow.
Leveling -> Trials -> alliance -> Gubal -> Done. Has always gotten me to 61 on the couple jobs I've boosted, or like within 1-2 fates worth of exp to ding it, and only takes 1-2 hours.

[Fluffernuff]

Perhaps i was overly sarcastic and i apologize for that... but in this particular case, specifically for 60-61, the other roulettes (alliance, leveling, normal raid) could getdancer to 61. though the queues will still probably bite you.

another interesting avenue are the HW and SB hunt marks. they only take a few minutes per mark and theyre like 1 or 2% scaling exp per bill. you have both ananta and kojin beast tribe dailies with scaling exp at 60. between those during queues on dancer, you'll likely hit 61 within an hour or 2. again, gunbreaker has dungeon spam. 60 is awkward but we ran gubal on SB launch to avoid palace. if youre that sick of HoH. and again, theyre a tank, so if they are your first job of choice, you also have roulettes like DNC
