Live Letter XIV Discussion Thread

ah, good point. Thanks.

The translation I saw used the word "Pets", so I'm assuming it means Summons and Faeries.

That's what i would assume too. Only way companions can get the buff would be to allow them in dungeons in the first place which i would think would be a big announcement. People want a live translation and SE can't even get their pre translated stuff right.

Allowing parties to use duty roulette is going to make solo players queues long as hell again destroying what the whole point of roulette was. Why would a tank go in with random healers and dps when he can now go with friends. Well the fast queues were nice while they lasted

It may still stop you from doing it with a full 4-man party, which would be more or less fine.

That's my hope at least.

I say good riddance. I'll be trying to use it as little as possible now. Barring a lack of FC members online, I don't really see any reason to use DF as a Tank anymore. Not the way we get treated.

Half the people who will complain about this change have probably mistreated a DF Tank at some point. If queues get bad (and they probably will) you have only yourself to blame.

...not sure if serious, lol "mistreating a tank", yeah cause DPS leave duties randomly whenever they feel like it. Totally a thing. Darn them!

This ^

It's always tanks and healers that either whine or leave right away as soon as they see an issue, as they don't have to waste 20~30 mins in a queue.

Speaking from personal experience. You are correct. Most DPS won't leave because they have a long queue. They'll just harass the tank/healer until they leave. Your personal experiences may vary. But it's happened to me a lot for refusing to Speedrun or go faster then I was comfortable with in dungeons. Up til now, only solution was to A) Leave or B) Attempt to compensate the request. Which I may. And we might survive. I might learn and be able to do it faster in the future. But why should I have to do it in the first place to avoid harassment ? In a game? I just think being able to do Roulettes in premades will cut down on this. You can't deny it'll be a much more lenient, friendly environment to do them with your buddies.

i'd guess you dont get the bonus' but can use it for just getting into random dungeons.

Risky mobs sound a bit like HNM?
If it's like Leves, your pt would claim a boss, until win or wipe.
and then there's weekly ranking between FC? who killed most, or highest rank, etc.

As a DPS I find I get abused by the Tank, dropping from the Dungeon before it starts so they don't get the lock(I think). Anyone who disrespects a Tank doesn't deserve to progress, especially since you are a Lalafel Tank. I find myself disappointed these days when I don't have a Lalafel Tank for dungeons.

But remember Tanks abuse us just as much, I seen one ditch the group at the first failure of a dungeon.
