Duty Roulette - low level - same dungeons???

[PetiteMalFleur]

I see the exact same garbage too. ALL THE TIME. I did my low level random yesterday. All 4 of us were relic geared, and we got Copperbell. Seriously, WTF.

If the dungeon was abandoned by the original people who entered the instance will stay open and continue trying to fill the empty rolls until it is completed or the time runs out and closes the instance.

My thought is that the game groups you with other people, then selects content that all of you are high enough level to do. I think the reason you usually get some of the lowest level dungeons is that people are using the duty roulette to level up their characters, so you will often be paired with someone who is lower level. To get other dungeons, you have to be placed with other people who are all high enough level for them before you even have a chance for it to select those dungeons. Just to make it clear, I haven't heard any confirmation that this is how it works, but that is how it seems to work to me. It just seems to me that the queue times would be much longer if it was randomly assigning you to a dungeon and then you had to wait for other people to also be randomly assigned to that same dungeon.

Yes, the low level roulette randomizer completely sucks. Over 70% of the runs I've done at level 39-43 (BRD, so definitely not an in demand role) have stuck me in TamTara (I'm officially sick of that damn place) other than that I've only ever gotten 2 other dungeons, none over level 20.

Everyone in my FC I've talked to says they have the same experience, constantly getting the same dungeon with a smattering of others all very low level.

The theory that 1 person is in need of those dungeons and is queuing specifically for it just doesn't hold up. Yes, it's true sometimes and have rarely seen 1st time bonuses, but many times everyone in the party has been level synced and is at least in their 30s if not higher.

One day I was so sick of TamTara I even abandoned it as soon as I saw it's loading screen, 30 min later requeued, got stuck in TamTara again and again abandoned, 30 min later requeued.... AGAIN TamTara. WTF!!!!!

They seriously need to fix this random number generator.

The most irritating part of it all is when I, once again, get thrown into Sastasha, and upon looking at the party list, see that everyone has advanced to their respective jobs meaning everyone is at least 30. Why...

[RyuDragnier]

It gets ridiculous how often you see the low level dungeons. Satasha 5 times in a row, on my level 50 fully geared Bard. I have sworn off the Duty Roulette's low level thing except for that bonus XP. It's not worth seeing and being bored in that place so much.

I use the DF to level my classes and at level 40-45 I too havnt seen a fungeon higher then copperbell which sucks but what sucks more is I get like 700xp per mob at that level but if I had got in stone vigil id be getting 1500+

I wish they would scale the xp with your level if im 40 I should have the xp scale up with me so I'm not screwed on trash mob xp

I only ever get Sastasha or Copperbell eventhough I'm level 41. I've done the low level duty roulette pretty much everyday since it was added, and many times some days - but always get those two. What gives?

To be honest, i've yet to get placed in those at all using duty roulette. I've gotten stone vigil and braystops most recently. I forget the others off hand, but know i haven't gotten those two, as they are the ones i know best and keep waiting for. Granted, i'm usually on my 50 summoner, if that has anything to do with it.

I'm all for random, but they should make the dungeon at least appropriate for the lowest level in the group. I got a Duty Roulette where I was the lowest level at level 41 on my BLM. And we got put into Sastasha. I could understand that if we had like a level 16 in the group or something... but if the lowest is level 41, maybe they should pick something closer to the appropriate level?

I've been using the Duty Finder over the last week and few days to level up my level 28 (now 34) Paladin. Well, given a few exception (1 Copperbell, 1 Halatali, 1 Ifrit), all I saw was Sastasha, Sastasha and Sastasha aaaalll over and over again. I haven't done the exact count. but it should be something like 6 Sastasha on a total of 9 Roulettes. Curious thing to note, most of the groups I was put in were formed of Synched character who likely used the Duty Roulette as well. So why always Sastasha? Could it be that the system pairs a group of 4 Roulette players in Sastasha as a default choice?

What is your experience with this guys? I'd wish to understand if there really is some issue with DR, and if so I think we should ask the Devs to go check into this... Seriously, I'm sick of tanking Denn the Orcatoothed and his minions.

I seem to alternate daily between Ifrit and Halatali...
