Duty Roulette (remove the one person limit)

[cotti]

Why discourage players from joining their friends? seriously.. who's bright idea was this?

From someone a bit bright, unlike someone who totally missed the point of the Roulette.

If it's to help other stuck in the queues.

What the...? Is that supposed to mean something?

Can't que up with 4 people or more.

I personally hate that my hubby and I have to do an extra 40 x myth a day because we don't get to do roulette together, or we are forced to do content without each other, Great way to bring the community together.

Great to know your community is only you and your hubby. Because you helping someone stuck does not mean a thing to the community, right? That's not selfish at all.

Wow, it's such the end of the world having to do an extra 15-20m run to... Compensate something meant as a prize for helping in the first place.

Think of it this way: if people are ditching their partners to queue solo, then the system is working perfectly: bringing in more players to fill up queues for "unwanted" content.

Having everyone queue solo would result in the most efficient matching because there won't be a pair of Tank+DD while another Heal+DD+DD party is waiting for a lone tank.

The thing is every time I've queued up it's been 2 50, myself leveling mnk in 40s and someone level 15-20.
So queuing up with 2 wouldn't change this at all.

Q: Will you be able to use the Duty Roulette when forming a party with 2 or 3 members?
A: We’ll be improving the Duty Finder extensively for 2.1, but I’m afraid the ability to participate in parties will take until 2.2.

2.2; Please look forward to it.

So yeah.. it wasn't any sort of design that SQE made it solo only.. it's that they can't seem to program their way out of a paper bag half the time.

Lacerta saves the day, once again.

But I want my tomes without contributing to the lack of tank/healer

Too bad. The whole point of the duty roulette is to be rewarded for helping newbs/other people who are short a man to make a DF instance happen. If you want to party with friends queue for a specific dungeon.

This doesnt discourage playing with friends. In fact, it helps because odds are your queue times for any given dungeon will be reduced if you need to DF the 3rd or 4th member.

They are going to let you pair up, but not full 4/8 man parties.

I'm loving it. Wanted a WAR alt since release, didn't want to grind FATES, waited for this, boom. 'In need' bonuses, 1 level per day from low lvl Roulette + Guildhest.

Being a long-time player of XI, I can tell you that you should get comfortable with this.

I'm so tired of ostensibly solo queues being trolled by self-entitled duos who feel the other N people involved are there for the benefit of the duos.

I really appreciate solo-only queues. The result is that the player commendation system is working exactly as intended, instead of being subjugated by some random j/o tweens who happen to be in homeroom together.
