    Change alliance-raid roulette, add Crystaltower-series to mainscenario

    Title...

    It´s an issue as old as the game is. First poeple abused low gear to get a Crystaltower-raid, now we talk about it as a need for the MSQ.

    Since it´s a MSQ, please add it to the main-scenario roulette.

    We want to enjoy the whole content 60/70/80/90/100 alliance raids has to offer.

    Otherwise may add atleast an "alliance-expert" roulette with 90/100 raids as the latest content.

    Have you seen the 8 men guildhest ever pop from guildhest roulette or duty finder in general? No. It is because when the system sees there are 4 players queuing, it will put them into a 4 men guildhest immediately.

    Same with MSQ roulette if Crystal Tower were added to it, since CT takes 24 players to enter, the system would just put players into the current 4 men MSQ roulette duties whenever there are 4 players queuing, and new players whom genuinely need to run CT for their MSQ would have to put up Party Finders, similar to how we see the 8 men guildhest shows up in PF time to time.


    Needless to say, once Crystal Tower is out of the alliance raid roulette, the next commonly unlocked alliance raid series would take the place instead, and seeing most likely would be Shadow of Mhach (as it is Lv60) or Return to Ivalice (as Bozja is locked behind it) everyday; then what do we do from there? take them out of the alliance raid roulette to enjoy the remaining alliance raids?

    Personally I would rather they simply adjust the HP numbers etc. in Crystal Tower to make the raid series has actual mechanics again, nowadays you would have to go in as 24 classes not jobs to see or have to do some of the mechanics that were normal to see back in ARR.

    And of course, please either add more content locked behind other alliance raid series so that players are more motivated to unlock them, or make the roulette so that let say if the job you are queuing with is above Lv60, you have to have Shadow of Mhach unlocked in order to queue, Lv70 requires Return to Ivalice, and so on.


    I am also tired of seeing Crystal Tower in the roulette everyday but taking it out of alliance raid roulette will not solve the issue.

    I´m aware of it and that´s a thing they clearly can handle by changing their matchmaking to priorize "who comes first..." for some degree rather than "let´s just fill the 4-man group". More than enough poeple still play mainscenario-roulette to level, while newcomers would find each other anyway.

    Otherwise just take them out of MSQ!

    They´re not MSQ at this point, so things will change for sure.

    But even if this might become an issue, which i doubt to some point, we still talk about how MM works. They could just take more care for the current level of players rather than said "fill the lobby asap...".

    Besides that, they could still add said "alliance-expert" to devide atleast the last 2 expansiond from everything else. I mean, they also do it with the latest 2 dungeons each time...


    EDIT: I mean... they also changed Delubrum to get some sick buff after 10min queue-time or so in the worst case? They could make some use of it too... (or other experiments to finally add the whole variety of content to the roulette)
