Duty Roulette: Status of Leveling Roulette allowing parties

[Dualblade]

BECAUSE WAITING 3 HOURS FOR QUEUE AS DPS MAKES SENSE.

You're on the more popular NA data center, and since ques seem to be fixed or reverted back or whatever, it should be back to 45 min or less. Has been for me.

Velhart, your logic is flawed.

Can you please elaborate?

That is simply how I interpret their intentions in the design. Don't count it as an actual fact. I never gave a stance on how I felt about it either before you all start grabbing pitch forks.

[Ashkendor]

I don't remember seeing this talked about by the devs at all. Link, please?

Doing what you suggest would defeat the whole purpose of the levelling roulette. It is mostly meant for new people and/or people levelling an alternate toon. It isnt meant for lvl 60 going into it wanting to get easy tokens. It is meant for players of higher levels helping lower levels to get through a place. What you want in appearance legitimate would make TRUE levelling players left aside and outside and left with longer queues.

This is my opinion of course...we might even see what you suggest implemented who knows...but it would be a mistake. That particular levelling roulette is the only roulette where low level players (Under 50) can go. Higher players have the lvl 60 and exp roulettes to group together if they so wish.

Of course, again, just my opinion.

I've argued for this same thing before.

At least allow people to have up to 2 people in their party for leveling roulette. This still leaves 2 more people, and will give people an actual reason to do leveling roulettes with their friends.

"But Eidolon!" I hear people cry, "then a DPS will use a tank/Healer to get a faster que than a DPS without a tank/healer!"

Except the fact that the thought in that statement instantly defeats itself, because you're actually bringing a tank/healer into the que who might not otherwise have done the que without them.

I will not understand the people who are against such a system. I understand the concern if people are talking about doing a full premade party for leveling roulette - in which case, you are correct. If you have rested EXP, just do the current on-level dungoun. But it does not help those who want to play with their friends.

while i do not disagree with a maximum of 2 people for a leveling roulette premade, this game has plenty of opportunities to play with your friends. im sure people can seperate for a roulette or simply find another activity to hold hands through. or simply do it when you have time away from friends.

.

but that is exactly my point, it leaves the door open to just about that...full premade 50/60 that will just go there to get their tokens do a speedy run because well they can and get out ergo defeating the purpose of the levelling dungeon.


If you want to do a dungeon, select a PF and go with it..ohh wait..I forgot...that means you wont have tokens right?

I personally dont understand people with that mindset of I want to go with friends or, shoudl I say, I DONT want to go with newby beacuse the dungeon will be slowwww and I dont have time to lose mentality type....tell me I am wrong in this.....but try to be honest when you will try to tell me is not so

When you are with friends, you probably are much faster underway in the dungeons compared to the random roulette party you are getting thrown into.

And the latter gives you a compensation in form of 'Hey, stick around and you get your XP bonus at the end."

Not always.. it feels better/comfortable to play with people you know than 3 people that don't give a shit about you.
