Are you considering taking advantage of the new Leveling Roulette?

If it works like the Alliance Roulette?

Low-levels dungeons may be boring, but they're shorter, fewer skills available means randoms will be operating with a higher efficiency and there is a much lower chance of a wipe.

While the ilvl requirements will be an improvement, you're still going to have healers and tanks with poor left sides but high-ilvl accs.

Are they shorter though? Certainly doesn't feel like it, certainly not short enough to make up for the added boredom.

The difference in run-time and required effort between the ARR 24-mans and something like Orbonne is absolutely massive compared to the difference between ARR dungeons and higher dungeons like the Qitana Ravel.

Hopefully they patched out this exploit. If you're not willing to commit time to content, don't run it

Pretty much this tbh.

Most runs I experience in the DF for any dungeon are around 15minutes nowadays (closer to 20 for current dungeons.) and outside of getting a VERY bad player, runs are pretty smooth regardless of the dungeon. Whereas getting Orbonne vs Syrcus is night and day. Taking longer, far more wipe prone and are generally more frustrating. Most of this is due to the fact you can't really outgear leveling dungeons due to ilvl sync whereas you can ridiculously hard out ilvl labs/Syrcus.

Whereas in leveling roulette, I actively wish for the opposite. It hurts having to sync back down so far. it may be less effort rotation wise, but its a lot less fun than getting a more recent dungeon, even if it may be just 1-5 minutes longer.

I'd rather get later dungeons in roulette. The early ones are dull, slow, and mostly kinda ugly. Here, have another CAVE!

No.
I welcome getting higher level dungeons in leveling roulette.
I hate having to double check whether I have AoE skills or not when I get a low level dungeon.

[Metsonm]

Anything that reduces the probability of getting ARR is my priority, so I'm still going to gear up for the current highest level dungeon available.

[PyurBlue]

If leveling roulette ends up like Alliance, then I'll never run it again.

[Bright-Flower]

No. I hate running low level dungeons in leveling roulette. Even if you're right and they're a touch faster than modern dungeons, they don't feel faster. They feel slow, and incredibly boring when I have just fraction of my normal ability set to work with.

[Fynlar]

No. The minimum ilvls didn't get applied to 2.x dungeons, so you can't game the system as much as would ideally be needed to really take advantage of it.


Not only that, but leveling dungeons are lot more "even" when it comes to length (assuming consistent group competency for each one) compared to the 24-mans. Until proper ilvl caps get applied to the 24-mans, I doubt this will change.
