Steps of Faith Roulette.

[Monty]

Just queued up for my daily Trial Roulette, got into Steps of Faith. Soon as we get in there, 2 tanks and healers, gone. One of the guys there, on DPS, new to the fight and had been in queue for 30 mins +.

Is this what the game's come to now? Oh, I actually have to type in party chat, coordinate and MAYBE try this fight more then once? I'm out. Don't even bother queuing up for the roulette if you're not willing to even bother trying what it gives you.

How the hell are new players going to finish this fight if all people just up and leave cause there's a slight degree if difficulty? "Just start one in PF!" Yes, cause that's always faster...

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

people just assume that it'll be a bad group and don't even try. paradoxically causing it to be a bad group.

I honestly think that either this trial needs to be taken out of trial roulette or trial roulette should give more tomes. 60 tomes isn't enough of a reward to compensate for landing on SoF in trial roulette. The trial roulette used to be a quick, easy thing but honestly I don't do it half the time anymore, and I definitely don't JIP now. Every time I've gotten JIP it's been a SoF gone horribly wrong. I get there as DPS and both tanks are gone? I leave and queue up again later.

Yes. This fight is is at least 3 times longer than the other fights that come up in the roulette *and* people screw it up all the time. It's a larger time investment for the same reward.

I don't even do trial roulette anymore, stupid to wait and then someone leaves. Feel like I could get those tomes faster doing dungeons.

This is probably going to be the case until this particular trial is old hat and everyone knows every trick in the book.
I've been in the same situation in trial roulette (...I....didn't touch trial roulette again after...) and getting my alt and FC members through (I got lucky my first time in on my WHM but, the rest of the experiences are mixed bag). Went through/rotated so many coming/going party members, you'd think it was a speed date trial. The trial itself is different from all the others. It's set up differently and it's a trial that needs adaption to (of all the times I went in, including abandons, it was never the same twice). It's unpredictable and people don't like that.

Yep, and the fight isn't even fun lol. The dragon walks slow as crap, while you shoot cannons and spikes at it! Good times

Don't know where you get 30 min from, in my experience it usually takes about 17 min for last gate to fall.

Just go with FC or friends if you find this difficult to DF alone.
