SE: Please consider allowing for Leveling que in a Party

[Kydi]

Just scale the roulette bonus dependent on how many people queue. Something like 2 people queuing gets full bonus, but 3 gets 66% and 4 gets 33%. Take away adventurer in need outside of solo too.

I always thought that an mmo penalising you for wanting to do something as aa social group was odd, but I can understand the reason. However, leveling a tank at the moment I would love to be able to give my FC mates quick queues.

Agree with op completely.

I'd like this feature as well, or at least I would've loved it back when me and my sister played together: I always wanted to help her running dungeons but there was no way to queue together aside being specific.

"It works as intended" If you mean by not allowing groups together? In an MMORPG? Why would you NOT allow people to group up together for doing a random dungeon in an mmorpg?

"Do specific instead". I would, but I can only tick 5 dungeons. How many dungeons are there? Exactly.

"Premade groups will ruin those who solo queues" How? There's no bonus for queueing together, and even then you'll still see many queueing solo anyway and unless they give a bonus for premades (which they won't), people will most likely queue solo.

But if everyone is fine with it, I suppose SE will make no changes, but I can only see anything but negatives by allowing people to queue together for everything...unless you count the extra exp but come on, is that a big of a deal?

I agree OP and while they are at it do something about these disgusting dps ques lol I waited 30mins to que for the vault just the other day...

[sayafrost]

I agree with the OP. To me lot of times happens that I queue as a DPS finally get in and the tank or healer or both leave when they see the dungeon they got in (mainly Aurum Vale or Bryflox NM)

Allowing pre-made in leveling roulette will reduce the amount of progression new players will have in story dungones, especially the DPS players >_>. All you people gonna do is take all the DPS slots in premades and you know it.

Those who que solo, will still likely que solo. They might bring a friend (Who could be a tank) thus reducing your que.
Those who currently don't que because they can't que with their freinds, would que with their friends, allowing those same DPS to have more que's because you have more tanks/healers que'ing into low level roulettes to help their friends.

In my world this is only a win-win for everyone all around. As I stated rather flatly - I'd que with my friend all the time given the chance (Once a day, for bonus) but right now we only do it if we're extremely bored and looking for an alternative to spamming the highest level 50+ dungoun.

I agree with the OP this is something I would like added as well

I can see the concern, but if you want to do a story dungeon you usually do a specific. Those who did a premade? There's a high chance they might end up into the story dungeon with the solo player. Dps spots are taken? Well you just wait the usual 10 to 30 minutes but you just won't get into that group (although this issue should be talked separately). I can assure you that there are more than 4 players queueing solo on levelling roulette.

But I still cannot see this as an harmful problem: you won't see 4/4 player premades all the time even if it was open because people will still do them solo: there is currently no a bonus for queueing with friends. I could see something if they gave a bonus in exp or gil maybe but I still think it would be awesome on its own regard, since people would actually queue up in premades instead of spamming the Duty Finder. You know, the social aspect of the MMORPG that this game pretty much lacks.

I mean, how many mmorpgs allow you and your friends to queue together without this much mindbreaking limit? (and no, "story" isn't an excuse in my book).

PS: I just did a small correction on the word: no hard feelings, but I thought it would be polite to at least correct it while making my point.

Cool, thanks for the sweeping generalization but I'm leveling MCH and my BF is leveling DRK. I also level PLD solo when he's not on, but have an AST friend at the same level who would queue with me if we were able. As of right now, my other raidmates are currently leveling AST, MCH, NIN, AST, and PLD respectively. Has it occurred to anyone that this might actually get more TANKS into the queue, because they'll join up hoping to help a friend leveling a DPS job? Idk why you'd assume anyone would queue as two DPS, as that would probably make your queue longer than just queuing individually lol.

Even IF two DPS want to queue as a pair, how is that "hogging" the leveling roulette? New players get priority in the queue anyway, so if a tank and healer queue, a solo new DPS queues, and the "pair" DPS queue then the system will prioritize matching that solo new DPS with the tank and healer anyway. Ergo, my earlier statement..."DPS who queue in pairs would just be shooting themselves in the foot lol" - but hey, at least it's an OPTION. If they don't mind a longer queue to be able to play with friends, so be it.
