Mentor Roulette needs a serious overhaul

[FireMage]

Naw, it's a problem with mentors.

Mentors can't carry bads through EXs. It's a problem with bads

You didn't read the sarcasm in my post.

There's sarcasm in that post.

With all the garbage posts on this forum you have to make it apparent with a /s

...I'm not sure what these other people sacrificed to the RNG gods to avoid getting screwed over by the mentor roulette, but hoboy. Try Sophia EX with six sprouts and one of those "I cleared this when it was current content" Ultimate Legends that eats every mechanic. Dude got more air time than a skateboard at the X Games.

Luckily I never got Sophia Ex!
BUT…I did get Hades EX.
Barely get in and I just read a mentor writing: “Are you insane?????” XD I mean…I kind of agree, obviously we didn’t clear and yeah there was a mentor that even though I stated my position, she kept running at me when we would need to spread because why not ^.^…(she didn’t state her position, actually never said a word the entire fight).
Ofc the person queuing (not sprout) said they wanted to experience the trial synchronised and so on.

You mention the fact that you can remain synced even when pre-forming via party finder. It has the added benefit of keeping the same party once the timer runs out, so you're not back to square one with strangers when you queue back up.

Of course they'll still tell you to shut up and just do your job, mentor.
Meanwhile I'm just trying to help. ;-;
Knowledge is power, but those bullies won't take it ;-;

Can't they? In my experience, it's actually pretty rare not to clear in a handful of pulls when you get an EX in mentor roul.

Depends on how bad and how many. 6 toddlers who's combined APM is 4. Yea, never gonna clear. Only the ARR are easy enough sprouts to stumble past barely. Bad sprouts, naw. You might as well take that 30.

I've only gotten one non-ARR EX on mentor and it was Ravana. It was pretty easy. ARR has always been a crap shoot with the sprouts following direction. Ramuh has always been the most painful.

Or they could remove EXs from the roulette. THAT is what the Roulette actually needs

That's the last thing they should do. It's not weenie roulette.

I hope they add savage to mentor roulette to give whiners even more reason to stop running it and ruining the experience for new players.

It's not even hard to clear EX primals in Mentor roulette, with a handful of exceptions like Ramuh EX or Sephirot. Outside of those few, most EX primals are a quick and easy clear that frequently take less time than a dungeon. A lot of them are even prone to being killed in a single attempt due to power creep.

If a mentor is repeatedly failing to clear EX's in Mentor roulette, they should examine themselves as the common factor.
