Marriage Roulette

[Critical-Limit]

Lol.. Unhealthy to do dungeons with your partner.. uh oh. Guess I should've filed my divorce papers years ago.. I'm obviously doing it wrong.. Nothing about spending time with your partner is unhealthy, especially in this instance.. Please tell me how this is any different than queuing up with a friend? or free company mates? If you really think this is unhealthy I wonder what kind of relationship you're in, if any, or if you're just getting all your info from relationship articles..

Anectodal, there is a reason sometimes psychiatrists tell couples to spend some time apart.

Ever heard of Aristotle's, moderation in everything is the key to happiness? This includes sticking to one person all hours of the day every day. And if you do have a perfect relationship no point in gloating how wonderful yours is when other people keep their relationship happier by not being around eachother 24/7.

lol first when ive read the title, i was like oh someone wants something like chat roulette , but for solo people who want to get married XD

[Calypsx]

Wow we have magical final fantasy forum psychiatrists who somehow know about the status of other peoples relationships and happiness.

Who said anything about being together 24/7? We're talking about doing roulette dungeons with your spouse. What kind of lifestyle would even let you spend all night and day with your partner, even if you wanted to? The OP already said they have limited time together, the point of the roulette would be to make the most valuable use of their time, not so they can never take time apart..and who is gloating? Just because I dont follow some ancient dead guys life advice? yeah ok ,i'm gloating then.

I'm sorry but, just wow. I think the ff14 forum community hit an all time low with some of the replies in this thread. I'm all fir not agreeing but, just the level of ignorance, arrogance and down right stupidity is just play wrong.

I see nothing wrong with this suggestion, I play with my boyfriend all the time, and I'm a good player. I think you guys citing disagreements citing that as "you're weaker for it" are, two things, first assuming the situation, and two mixing up a completely situation.

With assuming, we don't know anyone background, or relationship and shouldn't butt in on it.

As for of mixing up, this is a misconception because a few non gaming females try to play games with their boyfriend/husband or vise versa, which is again none of our business, and may not play well if not with their SO., or only play BECAUSE of their SO.

Mmo are best played with friends, df in mmo was built fir the new solo trend of mmo gaming where people with lil time solo queue to do stuff.

With the adaptation comment, I call bull. Playing with random players doesn't make you stronger or weaker. You adapt to the dungeon, not really how other players play. Some of the top guilds in mmo, aRe built up from players meeting and playing the same mmo becoming long time friends, and going to other mmo together.


I see nothing wrong with this suggestion, infect I fully support it and see now thing wring with adding a 2 player section of roulettes, why not it could be optional, may give people an incentive to group up together build server community

Which is something we should promote. Why not take it further and make solo roulettes, and 2 player roulette 4 player roulette and 8 player roulettes.


Give people more options and give reason to set up pf's outside of farming and raiding.

It's not unhealthy or bad to prefer to run content with certain people; personally, I vastly prefer to have my statics whm healing me since we work so damn well together (7 months of raiding do that). I don't have issues running on my own (outside of getting paired with people who just will not try abd are super lazy)

However, it is bad when you are distressed or so unhappy running things without your partner. That's the problem. Sure, disappointment is normal if you can't for things, but being unable to play without them? You have a problem

...

I'm a WHM and my boyfriend is a PLD/DRK, what do you mean we're suddenly a stereotype. D:

Its been one, the anti girl gamer people think females can ONLY play as healers.


I play best as a tank, and my boyfriend is a caster..... but honestly I can main tank healer dps well.

That is honestly no one business.... and saying such a thing is crude.

I would certainly like to be able to queue with my friend who I married for the laughs and swag, but I understand why the levelling roulette doesn't let you, since its there to encourage you to help newer players, same with main story and trial roulettes, at least we can queue for Expert/60/50 roulettes with a party just fine.

I love playing with my friends, but sometimes being in a group of randoms can lead to fun experiences, whether it be working well together, doing terribly or just having funny banter. I always love leaving an instance with talkative players and we happily say our goodbyes after a job well done. Some of my best stories are with randoms, so its worthwhile queuing for stuff solo.

I may get some flack, but I really dislike people who *must* play with a specific person for everything. You're a far worse player for doing that, not in a community sense but a personal sense. Playing with randoms teaches adaptation and gets you used to having to think on your feet.

Met far too many who say they're an amazing healer/tank...but only with their tank/healer partner; anyone else and they become a complete noob at their role.

There's also something unhealthy about always needing to play with a specific person, so much that not being with them causes distress.

lol yes i'm so bad as a person /commits the unthinkable..

Seriously.. roulette calls for Random players.


So instead of making our own parties.. we go to help others (roulette rewards was intended for it.)

Unless it's endgame content, I don't really care if I'm good, bad with my skills: I don't need you to judge me, you are only one person.

Amazing, Noob.. it's Inside the game is where we are judged and by doing roulettes, we are helping everyone.

We complete every task given: we are noob, or amazing? You want us to do 10 more DPS to be AWESOME, the BEST there is?

You might have to re-queue if we find you in our group, because you and others that think alike, don't get into PuGs. Where the REAL adaptation is.

Coping with people with bad attitude (met so many, wonders where you stand after the salt)

Don't tell me you're the type that gets mad when the group fails once, twice, and have to use the shortcut and walk/run to proceed?

It happens, and it's part of the game.

Maybe we should ask SE to make different servers: Casuals, Midcore, Hardcore, and Elites. (You would be in a shock where we could land )

VA, Trials, Dungeons, we do everything as PUGs except we haven't tried Alex yet. (so you're trying to teach me to adapt? lol I guess you don't allow people to watch Cutscenes. (we do.)

Just like King Canadane, where I'm a healer and he's the Tank. (and soon to reverse roles, I want to try Tanking )

Guess the commendations we receive proves we are so bad as people..

then I will reverse the situation for you: you are bad, because you only want to play your way, Guess you are a speed runner and using a third apps to check to damage.

Guess what again: we don't care, we are there to have fun, those long dungeons where every Tank leaves as soon as they get in, we do them.

I am doing a roulette, tank leaves, the 2 DPS are disappointed because they waited 30 mins and now have to either dismiss or wait again..

I ask my BF, he tries to join in progress..

Tell me, where exactly in this, that we are BAD PEOPLE?

Don't be jealous because you might be alone playing. SE here has the chance to have 2 Accounts paid since beta.

The game is stalling since 3.0 and this game's graphic and theme is wonderful. Praytell they won't do another 3.0 with 4.0..

Else your Hardcore/Solo view will take a hit.

Hope for you you have real friends, because virtual friends only (if ever).. there's something unhealthy about it, don't feel too distressed.
