deep dungeon in duty finder?

[Banggugyangu]

Something I think might be an interesting idea would be a "Deep Dungeon Roulette" that requires a certain level aetherpool set to queue up. This could be for someone that just wants to level in deep dungeon and doesn't care which one. It could then offer a reward that bridges the gap between whichever deep dungeon floor group they get and the highest deep dungeon their job is eligible to enter. This would allow for filling parties trying to progress through matchmaking without adding any real complexity. It also wouldn't offer any tangible benefit to someone spamming it outside of just shorter queue times in exchange for helping others. (I'm not suggesting a single daily reward, but a repeatable reward. The point is to make it so it's equal to doing the highest deep dungeon you can on your job.)

Or you know, you can just use Party Finder, find a few people who want to do 1-50, and clear it while not having to immediately use pomanders since they won't get wasted between floorsets.

what made u assume i didnt already do this?
Im just saying "For those who ALREADY did it", it would be nice to help other people a bit easier.

Quarrymill, Onokoro, or Mor Dhona's npc to the eight sentinels are all next to an aetheryte.

Adding 40 different listings to the duty finder will not speed up queues (20 sets for PoTD, and 10 for the others). As for me I am indifferent, mostly because I don't do deep dungeons in parties beyond the first week or so.

The benefit would actually having them in a daily roulette with a good daily completion bonus, pretty much like the other duties that people rarely queue outside of those. Who ever queues for Praetorium outside of the MSQ queue and once while leveling? It naturally feeds into the wait times of people manually queueing for them, DD being in the Duty Finder or not.

A roulette sure, but individual floor listings wouldn't work too well. Not sure they'd let it apply to sets beyond the non-challenge floors but they'd maybe increase the odds of getting it done for people that'd want that.

And these roulettes would need to be unable to interfere with your saves as you can't just do 71-100 on a whim in potd. In concept it sounds simple but who knows if their spaghetti code would allow it because for all we know a simple roulette would somehow divide the servers by 0.

Yeah... I presume that the most obvious roulette choice would be just the 51-60 PotD, and 21-30 HoH / EO, which would obviously require the player having them completed beforehand.

Come to sit on the idea, I'd REALLY love it. Sometimes it becomes too boring to farm those levels on your own, given the queues can be barren (especially EO).

I also wonder how much action Blue Mage would see if they had a daily roulette too. That would be harder logistically as well, but maybe they could make the respective mimicries count as actual roles? Idk if the 'sphagetti code' allows that, though. Despite being a very divisive topic, I'm actually happy with how the job is (with just some minor complaints), but what throws me off is that I can't just "log in and jump into action"... BLU's replayable content is all group based and requires some setup that might not even work if you can't make a party. That would solve this issue, for me at least.

Aetheric Mimicry isn't mandatory to play BLU so that wouldn't be needed. If you need players to help you fill BLU Party Finders, go contact the Blue Academy or something.
