Discussion of Main Scenario Roulette

[Masekase_Hurricane]

I'd like to elaborate a bit more regarding the first suggestion I made.
In my opinion, usually the last duty of each expansion/MSQ progression still carries enough story in it, such as (spoiler alert) the Aetherochemical Research Facility (alo almost as lengthy as the current 3 duties in the roulette plus no loot), Baelsar's Wall, Ala Mhigo, the Ghimlyt Dark, Amaurot, the Heroes' Gauntlet, Paglth'an, etc. I personally think these cutscenes also worth watching, in terms of storytelling, and world-building. Why only protect the MSQ experience of the 3 Lv50 duties?
If we have to have unskippable cutscenes, I think if we could expand the roulette to include these content (or maybe include gradually as expansion updates as new players join the game), it could better serve the purpose of protecting the MSQ experience.

The difference is in the ones you've mentioned i've not seen players consistently having a go at others for watching the cutscene. Plus big cutscenes since HW tend to be at the end of a dungeon or the start.

As for adding duties players will quit the duty if they get the three from ARR yes it's a 30 min penalty but it's still 30 mins that they can go craft, do leves etc.

And it's exactly because of what happened to what is now MSQ Roulette.

For those complaining: Praetorium used to be *everything* that happens in Praetorium now, plus an extra floor, plus the Ultima fight, plus the Lahabrea fight after (though he was usually annihilated in ~30 seconds), complete with cutscenes between everything. Prae runs were anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour as a result.

"Fixing" MSQ rolos would take moving all those intermediary cutscenes elsewhere, because they all set things up or resolve them. Gaius' motivations, Nero joining the MSQ crew and his rivalry with Cid, everything. It would take a lot more work than what they did, which was done- in part- to try and prevent people from complaining that the huge block of MSQ XP we were getting had disappeared.

Prae chat used to be nothing but ****posting, it was glorious, because there were *eight people* involved there.

You don't have to do MSQ rolos, it's there to help sprouts get through the three wonkiest encounters in the game and provide you a decent chunk of XP for helping. There's other leveling options at the moment that are, from a pure skill perspective, probably better than doing level 50 content.

I miss the such devastation and the chat being at times more active because out of 8 people someone is bound to speak/have a conversation, making the entire thing less painful..Now it's just boring. Glib gone, 4 man only.

Now I'd rather die by a spoon than go there.

They also made the hardest trial in the game into a solo duty, which is criminal behavior because the memes surrounding it were just...chef's kiss.

...Good lord. And I thought the time I got caught in a couple of Limsa folks ERPing about the plot of an extreme doujin in Shout was bad.

The only times I've ever used the in-game report function were in Old Prae. Because a couple of people started ERPing during the cut scenes. On two separate occasions.

GIVE US RITALIN EX SE, THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT.
