    Where is the Mid Level Duty Roulette?

    I just started leveling a class on my alt, the first since launch when I leveled my Arcanist and now that I am working my way to 30 I can't help but wonder where the mid level duty roulette is. Is it your intention to make it so you can only get a large exp bonus once a day as it becomes harder to get exp and level? Queuing for a dungeon at this point or finding people to level is is completely miserable. I feel like it would be more beneficial to everyone leveling if they unlocked another duty roulette at level 28 that lumps together things like haukke manor, up until Aurum Vale, and it would give the people with everything capped an extra thing to do every day keeping more people flowing into the instances. If this ever happens it probably won't be until after I finish capping the last job I ever intend to level, but its just a thought for those coming into the game.

    there is no mid level. The first dungeon you go to could be called mid level; So "low level" is all non-level 50 dungeons. You won't get a dungeon that's higher than your current level, obviously. So the duty roulette is designed to be appropriate regardless of whethre you're low mid or high level.

    There is currently a bug that causes most people to get Sastasha or Copperbell and that will be fixed.

    Dungeons are the best exp right now, even without the Roulette bonus. It's better than fates ever were.

    Im aware that there is no mid level roullette, the whole point of the post is that there should be and all dungeons in the game except the level 50 main scenario ones shouldn't be considered "low level". Yes, dungeons are the best exp currently, but I have also been sitting here for 45 minutes waiting for a queue to pop for Haukke Manor after unsuccessfully trying to put together a leveling party. Outside of the duty roulette that I did this morning, the times I have been waiting for dungeons have been completely horrendous. The fact that I am on a legacy server where virtually no one levels anything anymore doesn't really help the situation all that much either. In addition to this, there are two other duty roulettes that give EXP bonuses, but you can only do them when you can't get any exp making it completely pointless in that regard as opposed to the one that does give you an exp bonus.

    When 2.0 launched I leveled my Arcanist to level 50 in about 4 days through fate parties playing pretty hardcore. At the rate my arcanist is going on my alt at the moment it is probably going to take me 2 or 3 weeks if I put in the same amount of dedication simply because I am just sitting here out of leves with only trash exp mobs or fates where only 1 or 2 people show up if I am lucky to level off of while I wait an hour for my dungeon to pop.

    Adding a mid-level roulette will not make dps queue time shorter.
    What role you're playing is still the biggest factor. When I try to queue for a specific higher level dungeon (from Brayflox's Longstop up to Dzemael Darkhold) with my SCH, my queue time was never too bad.

    Also when you queue for Haukke Manor, you can't be paired with people under level 28 so your queue time is long.
    But even if there is a 28 - 49 mid level roulette, your queue time on Hakku Manor may be better, but what happen when you try to queue for The Stone Vigil? You still need to wait longer because you can't be paired with people between level 28 - 40.

    I hope to god that this is true, because I am SO SICK of getting Tam-tara EVERY day. I've done the low level roulette almost every day since it launched, and I've only gotten Sastasha, Tam-tara, Copperbell, and Ifrit; though 90% of the time (I'm not joking/exaggerating about that percentage) it's been Tam-tara. It's become worse than FATE grinding.

    Yes please. I'm sick of Sastasha. I've gotten a party where everyone was a high level-sycned character. We decided to votekick someone, then the rest of us leave so nobody got a penalty.

    You know there was already a thread about this on the first page, right? Aside from an existing thread in the dungeons forum...
