update Duty Finder

[Rivienne]

Basically queues you as a tank to any random dungeon (of your level or below) that will include at least one first time member. (Reward included)
...
(MVP system?)

SE is already planning on rolling this sort of feature out. You will be able to roll a random dungeon once a day for a reward. You will be able to roll randomly as many times as you want, but only once a day for a reward. (To prevent abusing the system I presume)

And they are implementing an MVP system as well, which similarly will result in rewards: every random dungeon you get a chance to vote on the other players, the more MVP points you get, the more bonus rewards you can get.

So while it may or may not work, SE appears to agree with your idea and some variation on it is coming.

Problem is that there's no need to run a dungeon again unless you're leveling an alt or missed some mobs from the hunting log.

I love re-running dungeons. Especially in the DF. You never know what you are going to get, and sometimes carrying an entire group of new players who don't know what they are doing is amazingly fun. And sometimes getting in there and figuring out how to re-run it as fast as possible with an experienced group is also fun. Plus, if you get a social group that can be its own kinda of enjoyable experience.

Personally I don't entirely understand the mentality of only ever running a dungeon once, or for gear drops. I don't care about gear drops, and 90% of the time I pass on everything. I would much rather re-run all the low level dungeons for fun instead of the whole only run one or two dungeons repeatedly for gear grind people are currently on.

level a tank for fun.

Warriors are awesome. I would love if more people rolled them. But that said, tanks also get a lot of grief, and not everyone has the mentality to cope with that, and knowing it probably scares a lot of people away from it, while some people think that the job is ridiculously boring especially early on, and so never are even willing to try.

I think something like this might work better, I edited the duty finder window a bit to show how it would work.



Basically:

1. When you open the duty finder and select the dungeons you want to join, the Tendency option would update showing what percentage of each role is being used in those dungeons.
2. Now, before quein, if you choose the role that has the lowest percentage it will let you know that since you're joining with this role you will get rewarded.
3. This will only happen if the percentage is 20% or more difference between roles, else it could be abused. It would just work as an incentive to get people playing with other roles.

Let's face it, without rewards it would not work. So for lower level dungeons you could get rewarded with a nice chunk of Gil and EXP. On higher level dungeons if it's the case 20% more seals to that character only (not the whole raid).

Hope it gets a look from mods

How about SE makes a tank class thats actually fun to play?

shout for a tank before you queue. Many times i shout letting people know what i am queueing for and if they want in, they whisper me and get an instant queue

The problem is not the duty finder nor the dungeons. The problem is the FATEs. FATEs are the easy button to level cap so there is no real need, or incentive, to do dungeons.

I often run the lower dungeons, helping FC out, ot if I'm bored random new Pug yelling for group.

The only thing I wish is that (as a Level 50 dragoon) I could use all my abilities, and just sync stats and gear...

Also it would be great to see what gear stats ctually sync to when syncing...
