Steps of Faith Roulette.

[Tiggy]

This is what happens when the trial roulette is entirely face roll content. Throw one semi difficult encounter in and everyone acts like a baby and quits. We need an ex tier roulette for stuff like this or to improve the culture of the game to make slightly challenging fights more common.

It really does not belong in Trial roulette. Trials roulette used to be all about quick fights to help players clear outdated content. SoF is neither outdated nor quick.

Basically, anyone looking into Trial roulette's is now being punished due to SoF. It's like queuing for Dungeons:Expert and being put into Praetorium. And it's hurting the players that actually need Primal clears because now no one wants to queue for Trials.

Plus, the fight REALLY needs a way of automatically ending without having to wait for it to reach the gate. Like if all playes stay dead it should restart or something.

It was the most Tome/Time efficient roulette, yes. Plus you'd often get new player bonus, for additional Soldiery.

It's i90 which would make new players to lvl 50 have that kind of gear PLUS have to complete ALL of the story from 2.0 to SoF just to open the Main Story Roulette.

Answering a bit late but Main Story Roulette opens as soon as Castrum Meridianum is accessible.

I think it's largely because even a failure takes 30 minutes.

I don't think that's the main reason.

People used to quit all things. As soon as something isn't easy sail quitters showed up. It had been this way since 2.0. The 30 minutes may aggravate the situation, but the main reason is still that people who are used to 5 min primal facerolls feel that anything longer than 10 minutes is a waste of time.

Personally I welcome it in the trial roulette. People who just want to faceroll content just have to forgo the little bonus. It's a minimal bonus anyway.

What he said. I only do it if I'm close to capping tomes. Steps of Faith belongs in Trials whether people like it or not. There are plenty of ways to get tomes anyway.

I cleared it via DF, I was solo que. 1st try we did we failed and we abondoned.

the second time we cleared after we set a plan and divided our roles in battle. We cleared it not even close to the gates!! which amazed everyone. The problem of people leaving it is to many reasons:

1- No reset option until the boss reaches the gate.

2- No real communication and set up the roles, (I set up the healers on Snares, while DPSs stickhold to the cannons).

3- Fresh players.. some players just insist on clearing ASAP not thinking that they are under geared and will be killed easily.. making the run hard. I am sorry to say but that's a fact every player should know.. No matter how amazing you are and iLevel isn't reflecting Skills, yet it counts.
as for 2.55 there was enough time given between the two patches to gear up at least minimum to i120, yet I see people with i80 & i90.


I know the required iLevel is 90, but if you want to do it i90.. go find yourself a full i90 party and party for your heart's content with the boss. If you want to do it on DF, at least be considerable that you are playing with 7 real people, 7 peaole have their time playing the game for themselves 1st then you come 2nd.

Myself, I didn't clear Titan Extreme yet.. I try DF it, I enter if I see myself KO twice I leave.. I don't want to be a burden on the party! its my fault not theirs.. I thank them for trying to help me but I wish them good luck that the joining DPS can do better than me.

I qued up on my Whm the other day for Trial Roulette like I usually do with the hopes that I'll get Garuda and zoom through it in a few minutes. Not that day... I ended up getting Steps of Faith and immediately I was initially dismayed by that fact.

But I figured what the heck, nobody rage quit and I think at least half the party was new and the other half had gotten from Roulette. Someone took the initiative to assign roles, basically they wanted one healer on cannons which I eagerly volunteered for (lol).

And dps were told to stay on the dragon except for when the trash mobs needed to be finished off real quick before the boss breached each section. The group went very well and we ended up winning easily. I am not sure just how many more barriers were left or if we were on the last one but the dragon died before it reached the cannons so I do believe we actually completed the trial as it was intended.

I even got 2-3 commendations. Good times.
