Preliminary patch notes up.

[Seraphyna]

Players will now be rewarded experience points upon completing Duty Roulette: Main Scenario, Duty Roulette: Trials, or Duty Roulette: High Level prior to level 60. However, players who do not use duty roulette to join level 50 duties associated with the above roulettes will not receive experience points.

So there's no point in running:

The Wanderer's Palace
Amdapor Keep
Pharos Sirius
Copperbell Mines (Hard)
Haukke Manor (Hard)
Brayflox's Longstop (Hard)
Halatali (Hard)
The Lost City of Amdapor
Hullbreaker Isle
The Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard)
The Stone Vigil (Hard)
Snowcloak
Sastasha (Hard)
The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)
The Keeper of the Lake
The Wanderer's Palace (Hard)
Amdapor Keep (Hard)
Cape Westwind
A Relic Reborn: The Chimera
A Relic Reborn: The Hydra
Battle on the Big Bridge
The Dragon's Neck
The Bowl of Embers (Hard)
The Howling Eye (Hard)
The Navel (Hard)
Thornmarch (Hard)
The Whorleater (Hard)
The Striking Tree (Hard)
Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Hard)
Battle in the Big Keep
The Chrysalis
The Steps of Faith
and some others


We can't queue main, trial, or low level roulette with friends. If we want items from a certain dungeon/trial, sure you can run it but you get no experience from it. Or you can queue roulette and pray you get your choice and experience.

Seriously, who made this awful decision?

Its to prevent powerleveling by speedrunning dungeons/trails you overgear. If they didn't do it, you would get a repeat of the DD/AV first room runs.

Some of us actually LIKE playing and running things with friends. It's as if they don't want us to do content with friends and I find that very disturbing.

Stuff

I may need to go back over the notes again. But I thought the exp was only removed if you were running it lowman/uncapped. Doesn't the exp still exist if you run it normally? Otherwise you would be correct in how this would be completely broken. Queue times would be unbearable, and the new players would suffer.

2 dungeons for expert roulette? WTF! Furthermore, if 3.1 comes and the new dungeons are the only ones in expert roulette, I am seriously going to be pissed. I put up with it in 2.3 and 2.4. It got to be too much in 2.5 as it became AKHM roulette and I left the game for a while.

Ya the way they been handling the expert/main roulette has been kind of bad. Only allowing for 3 dungeons in expert is a real pain. And now apparently there will only be 2? I'm confused because I thought we were getting several more dungeons. But to my point I wish they would leave the old experts in for at least awhile longer. That way there is more variety. And they do need to return high level back to how it was at the beginning, where it was something unlocked after just a couple dungeons. I have no idea why they locked it down to begin with. Maybe it was a mistake, and has been overlooked, because it's just very odd to have it setup this way.

And Yoshi did say in a interview they were considering low-level where you can queue with a friend. Did they change their minds?
